The one thing to solidify the PC as the master race forever!

Lexip is the world's first gaming mouse designed to be an all-in-one solution for your gaming needs across all types of games. It's a high-performance gaming mouse which is intuitive, precise, and fast in all your favorite games.
By adding a joystick on the inner side of the mouse and putting the whole mouse on a pivot without restricting normal movement, you can do anything with just one hand! While combining maneuvers, combating people or controlling your vehicle, you can now either drink your coffee or take the opportunity to do even more actions with your free hand.

• The First joystick is internal and controlled by tilting the mouse shell. Simply tilt your mouse shell up, down, left or right to control a variety of moves.

• The second joystick is controlled by your thumb giving you ample customization, premium ergonomics, and a truly 3-Dimensional gaming experience without ever needing to add additional commands, keys or shortcuts.

And one last thing: We didn’t cut any corners with this mouse. We are using a premium gaming laser sensor, true mechanical joysticks, and design that promotes all-day comfort.

Add that all together and you get the first gaming mouse that can help you perform advanced combat maneuvers in Star Citizen, chain together rapid combos in League of Legends or World of Warcraft, score an epic off the backboard goal in Rocket League, and land consistent headshots in Overwatch!

We wanted Lexip to offer a brand new way of interacting with your gaming mouse. That’s why we designed our mouse with two groups in mind: casual gamers and pro gamers. Our mouse has the functionality to help both groups of gamers enjoy their gaming experience on a much deeper level all while make them better at gaming, how cool is that?!

Lexip for Gamers
Lexip has the ability to give you a competitive edge in your favorite games all while simplifying your gaming setup.
This is largely due to our mini joysticks, which are a complete miniaturization of full size, analog joysticks. Resulting in a natural feel with mechanical feedback and precision, just like those in the controllers you use every day.

Thanks to its freedom of movement, gamers can explore more intuitive and competitive ways of playing their favorite games. Here’s how Lexip can enrich your gaming experience and improve performance in some of the most popular gaming genres:

Space Simulators

Space simulators like Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, Space Engineers and Kerbal Space Program benefit the most from Lexip. It was designed for 3D environments and because of that, it serves as both a mouse and flight stick in one. Complex, sustained maneuvers are now easy to perform all while keeping your other hand on the keyboard for quick shortcuts. Depending on your preference, you can control the pitch, yaw, and roll of your craft with either your thumb or your palm.

Building Games

For games like Minecraft, you can switch through your slots, weapons, and items by using the thumb joystick. In games where you build, such as BeSeige and Fortnite, Lexip allows for placement of objects with ease. This increases both the speed and precision with which you place down blocks, walls, and objects giving you both a competitive edge and a more enjoyable gaming experience.

Racing Games

When playing racing games, the internal joystick’s 300,000 position values can be used to provide accurate throttle and steering input, bringing the best of both mice and steering wheels for a fantastic feeling on Rocket League, GTA V, Trackmania, or any other racing game. You can accelerate, decelerate, brake, and rev your engine all by using the internal joystick of the mouse! This makes racing games much more intuitive and gives you unparalleled control over your driving experience.

First Person Shooters

Fans of FPS games will be able to use the internal joystick for intuitive left to right-leaning: perfect for Rainbow Six Siege and Arma 3. For other popular games such as Destiny and Call of Duty, Lexip allows you to switch loadouts, chain commands and control a full portion of your gaming experience without using any key bindings! The thumbstick can also be used for precise aiming and to control the level of magnification. Combine that with the precision gaming laser’s adjustable DPI (up to 8200) and speed/acceleration of 150ips/30G and you get a mouse that makes landing headshots easy.

MMOs and MOBAs

For MMO and MOBA players, Lexip’s joysticks can be configured to rapidly string together abilities, creating powerful combos. The precision gaming laser also helps with high actions per minute while the ergonomic design keeps your hand and wrist comfortable during intense play. Another way to use the mouse's innovative joysticks is to manipulate your map. Testers discovered and made use of this in games such as League of Legends, you can scroll through the whole map simply by using the thumb joystick all while keeping full control over your team strategy.

Lexip for Pro Users

Lexip isn’t just a gaming mouse, its a mouse for designers, engineers and home/office power users too. The speed and precision of the mouse, along with its intuitive joysticks, will boost productivity no matter the application. Additionally, the ergonomic design will promote wrist and hand health as well as all-day comfort.

With Lexip, you can map the buttons and joystick to functions for each of your programs, quickly changing to that program’s macro to do things like copy and paste, navigate tabs/pages, and navigate 3D scenes/design spaces.

Lexip for Lefties

We didn’t want to leave anyone out. That’s why we are designing a left-hand specific version of Lexip. The left-handed version makes no design compromises, keeping thumbstick placement and usage intuitive.

A truly prosperous invention.

Because when I emulate a console game, I will play it on a keyboard. Yeah, right.

But in general, I personally dislike playing action games that rely on combos with kb+m, clicking the mouse just doesn't feel right.

That's why you have a keyboard. You use the keyboard for combos.

Also, games like Super Mario Bros work so much better on a keyboard than a controller, it's incredible. You can use *all* your fingers instead of just the thumbs! Whoa!

2D platformers are actually the genre where being able to use multiple fingers provides no benefit. It's the worst example imaginable.

That said, with the poor quality of d-pads on popular console controllers, there is a case to be made for playing them on a keyboard. For games where precise movement in all directions, diagonals included, is important - shmups being the most obvious example - a decent keyboard will likely be better than the average d-pad, and arguably on par with an arcade stick. A non-insignificant number of the best western shmup superplayers use keyboards. For example:

When it comes to games like shmups you just use what you are most comfortable with, period. There are superplayers with all possible control methods in the world of shmup. Keyboard, dpad, arcade sticks.. some of the best CAVE superplayers use a 360 controller which is like the worst thing ever imho. But they like it and practiced it enough to reach the highest levels of skill.
I agree entirely with you that keyboards are a better choice than the garbage dpad found in stuff like the 360 controller. Personally I use the 8bitdo controllers which imitate the classic Nintendo cross. But, the most important is to just use what you find the most enjoyable which means the thing you will be willing to spend 500 hours with. The best controller isn't going to make you a good player if you're not motivated to use it and play. I bet enjoyment has a large amount to do with people using arcade sticks in the first place. They are very fun controllers to handle. My arcade childhood memories are something I remember fondly. The only reason I don't use a stick on PC/emulation is because the only way to get the sticks that are made for shmups, with a short throw, is to do it yourself build it and I don't wanna. If they were sold pre-built on amazon or something I'd get one ASAP.

I use a 360 controller to play shmups, but then i'm too old for this shit casul. I use the stick, not the d-pad, btw.

Eh, there are some Hori sticks with Seimitsu parts - I know because I own one. You can also buy modified ones from specialist stores - https://arcadeshock.com/collections...de-stick-seimitsu-parts-ps4-ps3-pc-customized for example.
