PixArt PAW3395 Professional Sensor
The heart of the M3 is the PixArt PAW3395 optical sensor — a high-end sensor tuned for precision and stability. With a native DPI range that extends up to 26,000 and tracking capability up to 650 IPS, this sensor handles fast flicks and subtle cursor micro-adjustments with equal confidence. It supports adjustable lift-off distance (1.0 mm / 2.0 mm) so you can minimize accidental cursor movement when lifting the mouse, and it offers configurable angle-snapping (on/off) for users who prefer assisted linear tracking. In short, the PAW3395 gives the M3 the raw tracking fidelity expected in competitive gaming mice while remaining accurate for high-precision productivity tasks.
Tri-Mode Connectivity & Dual Receivers
The M3’s tri-mode design (2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.1, and wired Type-C) makes it extremely flexible for every setup. The included ultra-small Type-C 2.4 GHz receiver and Type-A 2.4 GHz receiver let you plug-and-play on both modern Type-C laptops and legacy USB-A ports without adapters, and an extension adapter lets desktop users position the dongle for best signal. 2.4 GHz mode gives the lowest latency path for competitive play, Bluetooth 5.1 supports multi-device pairing and long battery life, and wired USB-C gives zero-latency input plus charging. The detachable ultra-flex paracord cable and Type-A to Type-C adapter further expand compatibility for travel and docking scenarios.
Ultra-Low Latency Performance & High Polling Rate
Performance-focused users will appreciate the M3’s 1000 Hz polling rate in 2.4 GHz and wired modes, which corresponds to a 1 ms polling interval and ensures extremely responsive cursor updates and click reporting. In Bluetooth mode the mouse operates at 125 Hz for power efficiency and multi-device convenience. Combined with the PAW3395 sensor and motion tuning, the result is minimal input lag, accurate motion capture at high speeds (650 IPS), and consistent behavior across fast paced gaming, aim-intensive tasks, and precise editing workflows.
Ergonomic, Lightweight Design
At about 79 g (±3 g) the M3 strikes a balance between featherlight maneuverability and a reassuring physical presence. Its curved ergonomic shell fits naturally into palm and claw grips, while patterned side grips improve hold and reduce slippage during long sessions. The mouse’s weight and profile were chosen to reduce fatigue during extended use — whether marathon esports play, long workdays, or travel — and the detachable cable/receivers make it easy to pack without compromising comfort or control.
Kailh GM 8.0 Switches & Mechanical Reliability
The primary buttons use Kailh GM 8.0 mechanical micro switches rated for long-term durability, with an advertised lifespan of around 80 million clicks. These switches produce crisp, consistent actuation that complements the fast sensor and high polling rate, giving reliable click feel and repeatability across millions of actuations. For competitive players and heavy office users alike, that switch longevity and tactile consistency mean you won’t notice degradation of click response even after prolonged daily use.
Customization with Keychron Engine
Keychron Engine software brings meaningful customization to the M3. Through the software you can remap buttons, record and assign macros, adjust DPI stages and precise DPI increments, change polling rate and LOD settings, and tweak RGB behavior if you want lighting feedback. Advanced options such as Motion Sync support and granular sensor/polling tuning let power users dial the mouse’s behavior to match specific games, professional apps, or personal comfort preferences — making the M3 not just a hardware tool but a configurable input platform.
Battery, Build Details & Extras
The M3 is powered by a 600 mAh battery that the manufacturer rates for long runtimes (up to ~70 hours depending on mode and RGB usage), and supports wired operation while charging. Build touches include PTFE/Teflon feet for smooth glide, Motion Sync support, and a Telink 8273 MCU for stable internal handling of wireless/wired inputs. Note that the sensor is not intended for reliable tracking on glass or highly reflective surfaces. The M3 ships in black or white finishes and includes both Type-A and Type-C 2.4 GHz receivers plus the detachable cable and adapter.
