Dareu has started selling its AE6 V2 Legend Edition gaming mouse in China for 329 yuan, or about $48. The pitch is straightforward: high-end specs usually found in pricier mice, packed into a lightweight body.
At the core is the AIM-3955 PRO sensor, which Dareu developed with PixArt. The company lists up to 50,000 DPI, 750 IPS tracking speed, and 60G acceleration. Wireless connectivity is handled by a Nordic 54L15 controller built on a 22nm process.
One standout feature is the 8,000Hz polling rate, available both over a cable and in 2.4GHz wireless mode. Dareu says firmware adjusts power use dynamically, running more aggressively in games and shifting to a lower-power profile on the desktop.
Key specs include:

- Weight: 59 g
- Sensor: AIM-3955 PRO, co-developed with PixArt
- Sensitivity: up to 50,000 DPI
- Polling rate: up to 8,000Hz over cable and 2.4GHz
- Main switches: Omron, rated for 100 million clicks
- Battery: 500 mAh
- Battery life: more than 330 hours at 1,000Hz, or 40–50 hours at 8,000Hz
- In the box: PTFE skates and pre-cut grip tape
The shell is non-perforated, but Dareu still kept the mouse at 59 grams by using an internal skeletal frame. The exterior gets a matte UV coating intended to improve grip and reduce slipping from sweat.
Dareu also says it refined the shape more than 200 times over three years, with support for palm, claw, and fingertip grips. The mouse uses mechanical Omron switches, while the company’s KBS Light structure is meant to reduce excess pre-travel and make clicks feel more consistent even when finger placement varies.
The lightweight gaming mouse segment is already crowded, and the source notes that Xiaomi recently introduced the Wireless Mouse 4 Pro. Dareu’s argument here is simpler: low weight, long battery life, and sub-$50 pricing in a market where 8,000Hz wireless is no longer rare.
