How Nordic Dual Chipsets Unlock True 8K Gaming Mouse Performance?
Understanding 8K Polling
8K polling (8000Hz) means your mouse reports its position to your PC every 0.125ms – 8x faster than standard 1000Hz mice. This requires:
- Dedicated processing power for constant position calculations
- Precision timing to maintain consistent intervals
- Low-latency pathways to deliver data without delay
What Are Gaming Mice Chipsets?
Primary Chipset (nRF52840)
- Handles 8K processing with its powerful Cortex-M4 core
- Manages wired USB 8K mode through dedicated 12Mbps connection
- Processes 2.4GHz wireless signals without polling reduction
Co-Processor (nRF52820)
- Monitors and stabilizes wireless connection quality
- Handles Bluetooth connectivity separately
- Manages power efficiency to extend battery life
Performance Comparison (Take single nRF52840 as an example)
| Connection Mode | Single-Chipset | Dual-Chipset |
| Wired Polling | 8K | 8K |
| Wireless Polling | Low | 8K |
| Bluetooth | Standard | Enhanced |
Why Dual Chipsets Matter for Gamers?
By leveraging Nordic Semiconductor’s chipsets, the mouse delivers:
- Precision and Speed: Critical for fast-paced games like FPS and MOBAs.
- Versatility: Seamless switching between wireless modes for gaming and productivity.
- Reliability: A stable connection ensures uninterrupted gameplay.
Recently, Akko launched its first dual-chipset gaming mouse, representing the next evolution in gaming peripherals. By combining two chipsets, this device delivers lower latency, enhanced stability, and improved power efficiency—features that cater to both casual and competitive gamers. As gaming technology continues to advance, dual chipsets are poised to become the new standard, offering a glimpse into the future of wireless gaming mice.
