Verdict

The Inphic X5 is an ultra-lightweight, 66g wireless gaming mouse featuring a distinctive transparent shell and an ergonomic right-handed design (112 x 57.5 x 27mm). It utilizes a 2.4GHz wireless connection for stable performance, supported by a 500mAh rechargeable battery that offers up to 300 hours of life and charges via a convenient Type-C port with a visible battery indicator. Key characteristics include an adjustable optical sensor with four DPI levels (800/1000/1200/1600), a 1000Hz polling rate, and silent-click buttons to reduce noise. Main pros are its extremely portable, slim profile and budget-friendly price point; however, cons include a relatively low maximum DPI compared to flagship gaming mice and the inability to use the device while it is charging.
