"The Phase is a wireless mouse that physically separates down the middle into two independent halves. Snapped together, it sits on a desk and works like a normal mouse. Pull it apart, and each half reveals a joystick, triggers, a D-pad on the left side, and face buttons on the right, a split gamepad that was hiding in plain sight the whole time."
"That missing scroll wheel is not an oversight. Fitting a traditional wheel in the center of the body would have made the split mechanism impossible, so Pixelpaw replaced it with a capacitive touch strip along the top of the left button. Flicking a finger across it scrolls through documents and web pages, with a glide feature that lets the momentum coast rather than stop abruptly."
"As a mouse, the Phase is competitive on paper. A 16,000 DPI optical sensor pairs with a 1,000 Hz polling rate when connected via the included 2.4 GHz USB dongle. Bluetooth LE is available for convenience and multi-device pairing across up to three devices, though the polling rate drops to 125 Hz in that mode, a gap that matters in fast-paced PC games."
Pixelpaw Labs has created the Phase, a hybrid device addressing the redundancy of owning separate mice and gamepads. When assembled, it functions as a competitive gaming mouse with a 16,000 DPI optical sensor and 1,000 Hz polling rate via USB dongle, or 125 Hz via Bluetooth LE. The scroll wheel is replaced with a capacitive touch strip to accommodate the split mechanism. When separated, each half reveals a complete controller half with joysticks, triggers, D-pad, and face buttons. The device offers up to 18 customizable buttons through the Pixelplay app, with a Layer button doubling functionality. Battery life reaches 72 hours per charge via USB-C, and mechanical tactile switches provide responsive gaming performance.
