A4TECH’s Bloody Division over the last few years has been at the forefront with that is called Light Strike technology, replacing mechanical with optical switches utilizing infrared light. Today we examine the most recent iteration of the Bloody mice series, the P85 Light Strike 5K RGB Animation Gaming Mouse; combining a popular eight button layout with some dazzling light effects.

Why is Light Strike technology such a prominent feature? The defining aspect features a 0.2ms activation key response time.  This equates to a zero chance possibility of lag and a 30ms faster response time versus a mechanical switch. Additionally it provides no chance of accidental double clicking, a dust and water proof barrier to external elements (no metals to oxidize inside the switch), and minimal click-noise.
