The RAWM Leviathan V4 GT has just been unveiled, and it is aiming squarely at Logitech’s top-tier wireless mouse with a trick borrowed from the keyboard world. The Chinese peripherals maker has confirmed the new mouse will use hybrid optical-magnetic switches, a technology that lets players fine-tune how far a click needs to travel before it registers. It is a rare feature outside high-end keyboards, and RAWM is betting it will be enough to lure competitive gamers away from more established brands.
Details are still trickling out ahead of a full launch, but RAWM has already shared enough to paint a clear picture of what the Leviathan V4 GT is chasing. It undercuts nothing in ambition, even if pricing has not yet been confirmed.
What RAWM has confirmed about the Leviathan V4 GT
RAWM shared the core specifications in a post on X rather than a formal press release, which is increasingly common for smaller peripheral brands trying to build hype before a proper launch window. According to that announcement, the Leviathan V4 GT will weigh around 54 grams, putting it firmly in featherweight territory alongside the best wireless gaming mice on the market today.
Under the shell sits a custom microcontroller built on Nordic’s nRF54 platform, a chip family known for balancing wireless performance with efficient power draw. RAWM has also confirmed an 8 kHz polling rate that works in both wired and wireless modes, plus an optical encoder for the scroll wheel. Together, those numbers suggest RAWM is not treating this as a budget release, even without a magnetic switch attached to the pitch.
| Spec | RAWM Leviathan V4 GT |
|---|---|
| Weight | Approximately 54 g |
| Switches | Hybrid optical-magnetic |
| Polling rate | 8 kHz, wired and wireless |
| Microcontroller | Custom, based on Nordic nRF54 |
| Scroll wheel | Optical encoder |
A shape and colour scheme built to invite comparison
RAWM has leaned on the Logitech G Pro X shape for its previous mice, and the Leviathan V4 GT continues that pattern. The chosen black-and-white colourway also closely echoes Logitech’s G Pro X2 Superstrike, a mouse widely regarded as one of the sharpest wireless options for competitive play. That is not a subtle move. RAWM appears to want shoppers making a side-by-side comparison, banking on the magnetic switches as the deciding factor rather than the shape or looks.
It is a familiar strategy in the peripherals market, where smaller manufacturers often mirror the ergonomics of a proven design rather than risk an unfamiliar shape. Buyers who already like how the G Pro X2 Superstrike sits in hand should find the Leviathan V4 GT feels near-identical, just with a different switch technology doing the work underneath.
Why magnetic switches matter for gaming mice
Magnetic, or Hall effect, switches have already reshaped the keyboard market by letting users set a custom actuation point instead of relying on a fixed mechanical trigger distance. Applying that same idea to a mouse click is newer territory. Keychron’s G6 HE was one of the first wireless mice to bring hybrid optical-magnetic switches to market, and RAWM’s approach follows a similar path rather than inventing a new mechanism from scratch.
The appeal for competitive players is straightforward. A magnetic switch can be tuned for a lighter, faster actuation in fast-paced shooters, or a firmer press to avoid accidental clicks in games that punish mistakes. It also tends to reduce the risk of double-click failure over time, a common complaint with traditional mechanical switches after heavy use. Whether RAWM’s implementation delivers the same consistency as Keychron’s remains to be tested once units reach reviewers.
What it means for buyers and the wider market
Logitech is not standing still either. A leaked successor to the G Pro X2 Superstrike, expected to carry the G Pro X3 Superstrike name, is reportedly in the works and said to land around 4 to 5 grams heavier than RAWM’s mouse. If that weight difference holds up, RAWM will have a genuine edge for players who chase every gram in a competitive setup, though weight alone rarely decides a purchase.
For shoppers who already own an ultra-light wireless mouse, the Leviathan V4 GT adds another option to a crowded field that includes ultra-light wireless mice like the Pulsar Xlite V4, the Razer Viper V3 Pro and the Glorious Model I 2 Wireless. What sets RAWM’s entry apart on paper is the adjustable actuation, a feature none of those rivals currently offer in mouse form. Anyone weighing up a new competitive mouse, including owners of the Pulsar X2H looking at an upgrade, now has a genuine reason to wait and see how the magnetic switches perform in practice before committing to a purchase.
No price or firm release date has been announced yet, and RAWM has not detailed battery life, sensor specifications, or software support. Those gaps matter for a mouse aimed at serious competitive players, and they will likely shape early reception once reviewers get hands-on time. Until then, the Leviathan V4 GT stands as one of the more interesting wireless mouse announcements of the year, if only for how directly it borrows a keyboard innovation and applies it somewhere new.
