EVGA Breeds New Torq X5 and X3 Mice for Gamers

Built from the ground up for gaming

Quick, what's the first thing you think of when you hear "EVGA?" Most people would probably say graphics cards, followed by power supplies (or vice versa). Motherboards would have also been an acceptable answer, as would have Shield. But gaming mice? That's the type of last place answer that goes unanswered on Family Feud, yet it also represents EVGA's newest products. Specifically, EVGA just announced two new Torq series rodents, the X5 and X3, both designed from scratch for "hardcore gamers."
There are actually four different models -- Torq X3, X3L, X5, and X5L. The "L" denotes a laser sensor, while the other two both use optical. Here's a better look at how they break down:

• Torq X5L: Laser 8200 dpi, RGB LED, Omron 20m switches, 1000Hz polling rate
• Torq X5: Optical 6400 dpi, RGB LED, Omron 20m switches, 1000Hz polling rate
• Torq X3L: Laser 5000 dpi, RGB LED, Omron 10m switches, 1000Hz polling rate
• Torq X3: Optical 4000 dpi, red LED, Omron 10m switches, 1000Hz polling rate

All four variants have access to five profiles and eight buttons, and are ambidextrous in design, measuring 1.53 (H) by 4.64 (L) by 2.59 (W) inches. They also sport on-the-fly adjustable DPIs and work with EVGA's Unleash software.
The Torq X5L ($60), Torq X5 ($50), and Torq X3 ($40) are all available now direct from EVGA; the Torq X3L ($40) is a Best Buy exclusive, and also available now.
