Pathfinder

Of course! We're excited to see new killer mouse shapes that will come from the gaming community. Like at a LAN party, the more we share, the better! That’s why we have a comprehensive roadmap for future shape development, and Pathfinder is designed from the ground up with long-term innovation in mind.Orbital-Driven: We're committed to ongoing research into how mouse shape, hand characteristics, and finger placement patterns affect gaming performance. Our goal is to continue releasing new shapes backed by research and validated by pro gamers, giving the community new frontiers to explore and a more perfect mouse grip to find.Pro-Driven: We want the best gamers and aimers in the world to have an opportunity to create the shapes that they exactly the way they like. Then share it with the exact group of gamers that will aim better, play better with such shapes.Expect more pro-collab shapes where you can participate as testers. If a design proves to work for many, we can bring it to gamers faster while keeping the creator’s vision intact.Important Note: There are many types of 3D printers, each with different levels of print quality. While we've designed our modular plug to be highly durable, poorly printed 3D parts could damage the Pathfinder core. As such, warranties for damage caused by third-party parts will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

We curated the best possible components for our switches because we know that click quality is key to how many players enjoy their gaming experience. As engineers, we prioritize components with strong documentation and built a robot in our office to thoroughly analyze the click force required to click each switch, ensuring that satisfying feel when you land a perfect headshot.
If you’re into modding or have experience with custom keyboards, we’ve made it easy by including a compatible footprint on the PCB. You can swap in your own mechanical switch with a simple soldering process.Other Switch Details:M3 Click: TTC 7.3mmWheel Encoder: TTC Golden Dustproof 11mmM4 and M5: Omron Subminiature Switch (D2LS-21 20M)

We test every part of the modular system to the point of failure. Our modular parts are rated for 20,000 cycles, meaning nearly three years of swapping shapes 20 times a day. And of course, we also took a cue from spacecraft design (we wouldn’t call ourselves Orbital Works otherwise) to ensure that, in the rare event of failure, the main shell and mechanism will be the last to break.As long as parts are removed with reasonable force, keeping the pull aligned with the plug and not at an angle, you’ll be able to keep experimenting with different shapes well beyond Pathfinder’s 2-year limited warranty.For the shapes, if they become damaged due to a design flaw on our end which we’ll validate in our lab, we’ll send you a free replacement if it's under warranty.
