PRODUCTS / MICE / QPAD 5K

QPAD ®|5K™ features a powerful navigation engine, adapted for high performance laser navigation. It has been specifically designed for high-end professional gamers, and enables extremely high-speed motion detection and high resolution to provide precise tracking capabilities which are required for many of today's most popular gaming applications. QPAD®|5K™'s new laser sensor is ideal for gamers who require precise high-speed tracking on a variety of different surfaces.

"We have been planning to make a mouse for several years now. Until now the optical and laser technology hasn't lived up to QPAD standards. With this mouse we are setting a new standard for gaming mice. Just as with our headset this is a product which fits right into the premium segment of the market. I really enjoy playing with the QPAD ®|5K™, it works with the extreme high speed movments that used to be a huge problem for laser mice. QPAD ®|5K™ delivers a micro precision never seen before, and our 5 finger ergonomic shape is fantastic. The design of the mouse is shaped to fit a 5 finger grip and by doing this we make sure that you have as little friction as possible." - Says QPAD founder, Christer Körnbäck

"musen ligger bra i handen och är riktigt skön att greppa."

"Även om det i mina öron är för dyrt får man för den summan en riktigt schysst mus med skön utformning och bra glid"

FUNKY KIT

First off, the QPad 5K laser gaming mouse is packaged extremely well. It comes with the configuration software on CD, spare mouse feet (glides), instruction manual and the laser mouse itself. The construction of the mouse is solid and the build quality is excellent ... it feels and looks very professional. What's more, it comes with 2 meters of braided cable and a gold-plated USB connector. With 5 programmable buttons, a resolution of 90 - 5040 CPI (Counts per inch), sampling rate of 12.000 FPS (Frames per second) ... it's more than any gamer can ask for.

FRAGBITE

"Glidytorna fungerar som de ska och precision är riktigt bra, så pass bra att jag vågar säga att det är den bästa lasermusen jag har testat hittills."

http://www.fragbite.se/?articleID=394

SWECLOCKERS

"Qpad har arbetat mycket med den optiska sensorn i 5K. Precisionen är väldigt bra, även vid låg rörelseupplösning. Rörelserna känns extremt följsamma och precisionen kan vi bara ge toppbetyg i denna del av testet."

"Vi är beredda att säga att Qpad har gjort en mycket lyckad första mus. Det är något speciellt med enkelheten hos formerna på 5K som tilltalar oss. Greppet kring musen är det överlägset bästa i testet. Den sitter helt enkelt som en smäck i handen. Precisionen känns vid varje givet tillfälle väldigt bra"

"Sammanfattningsvis är Qpad 5K en av de bästa möss vi någonsin testat. Den har mycket god precision, ett mycket skönt grepp samt en vettig programvara. Den enda stora nackdelen är priset vilket kanske är något högt. Tack vare motiveringen ovan ger vi denna mus "Bäst i test"-utmärkelsen."

BrutalCS

"Det går att beskriva QPAD | 5K med ett ord: perfektion. Precisionen är på topp, den är riktigt skön att hålla i och programvaran är bra. Du behöver inte vara orolig för att musen begränsar ditt spelande - den rör sig precis som du rör musen. Priset på 749 kronor kan anses som ganska högt för en mus men jag måste säga att jag ändå ser den som prisvärd. QPAD lämnar två års garanti vilket gör att du har en mus som ska fungera perfekt i minst två år. Nu kan jag för första gången rekommendera folk att köpa en lasermus."

Qpad 5K er muligens den mest behagelige musa vi har testet til nå.

METKU ROUND UP

The Qpad 5K is a boldly shaped gaming mouse that packs the latest and greatest in sensor technology to keep up in even the fastest of movements. The mouse feels very well made and sturdy and the rubber coating feels comfortable even in longer gaming sessions. Also the software is easy to use and packs all the features you'd expect.

Hardware.no

Qpad 5k koster nemlig omtrent 490 kroner, og for den summen er vi faktisk strålende fornøyd. Musen ligger godt i hånden, og vi liker spesielt at de har lagt inn støtte for både ring- og lillefingeren, samt at overflaten er gummiert. Musen glir godt på alle underlag, og den responderer meget presist og raskt uten noen former for tull.

XSREVIEW

Comfort

"In this category the 5K was fantastic. The soft rubber really is a lovely material and should be used in every part of every mouse."

"the Qpad 5k is lovely to use,"

TWEAK.dk

"Det har været en fornøjelse at have 5K på testbænken. Ligger vi ud med 5K´s design taler det jo næsten for sig selv. Det er utrolig lækkert, stilfuldt og med bløde former og linjer."

"Overfladen på 5K er også rigtig behagelig at holde på selv efter lang tids intens gaming, er det stadig muligt at holde godt fast på musen. Støtten på højre side til lille/ringfingeren er et kæmpe plus som er hver at tage med i sin overvejelse når man skal have ny mus. Det er virkelig behageligt ikke at skulle slide ens fingere hen over ens mussemåtte når man spiller. "

TECH LOBBY

5K Gaming Laser mouse receives GOLD AWARD in a new VIDEO REVIEW done by TechLobby. "Design wise we have to say this is one of the most comfortable mice we ever held. It fits perfect in the hand" "For QPAD this is an Epic Win" -Says TechLobby

GAME REACTOR

Du må punge ut rundt 700 kroner for musen og det er del i forhold til andre muser i samme kategori som denne, men tatt i betraktning over nøyaktigheten og at den er veldig behagelig å bruke, kan jeg ikke annet enn å anbefale deg Qpad 5K.

Score 9/10

DREAMWARE COMPUTER

For around $100CDN the QPAD 5K is a great buy if you're in the market for a high end gaming mouse. It's been designed by gamers, for gamers, and offers a lot of the same features (and more) that you'd find in much higher priced gaming mice from a few competing brands. It's gaming and day-to-day performance also left me with no complaints. If you're ready to get serious and stop using your regular mouse for gaming, then you might want to check out the QPAD 5K.

Pros:
Competitive pricing is lower than the competition for most of the same features
Comfortable, grippy design and coating
Highly customizable settings through included software
Precise tracking, due in part to the overall high quality laser
Included Glidz

Den er utstyrt med det samme som mange andre, men gir også mye mer. innstillingene som lagres i musen, måten den er formet på og markedets kanskje klart beste laser gjør at dette er blant de aller aller beste musene på markedet i dag. Best av alt. Den er i butikken neste uke!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: My mouse is lagging or having trouble responding to my movements.
A:  There are several reasons why this might happen. Please try cleaning the sensor chamber of the mouse. Dirt, hair or dust particles can interfere with the laser sensor making the mouse not responding accurately to your movements.
Also make sure that you are only using one set of Glidz on your mouse. Using two or more sets on top of each other can bring the mouse too high above the surface for the sensor to read it correctly. Make sure you are only using one set of Glidz and try adjusting the setting “Lift distance” in the QPAD 5K Software.
If the problem persists, please contact QPAD Support.

Q: My mouse keeps connecting and disconnecting from the PC.
A: Please try using the mouse in another USB-port or another computer. If the problem persists, contact QPAD Support.
