Noxen Shadowfang
The PixArt PAW3950 is the current flagship gaming sensor — 26,000+ DPI, 650 inches-per-second tracking, 50 G acceleration tolerance, and zero smoothing or prediction. Noxen builds the Shadowfang Pro around it.
The PAW3950 reads surface texture cleanly at extreme speeds — past 6 m/s of hand motion. It tracks consistently on both cloth and hard mousepads. And it has no built-in smoothing, so every micro-correction you make goes straight to the screen unfiltered.
DPI numbers above ~3,200 are marketing — no esports player uses them. The real difference between a cheap gaming mouse with PAW3950 and a flagship is sensor stability: no jitter at low DPI, no acceleration at high speed, no angle snapping, no prediction.
A flagship sensor needs a flagship body. The Noxen Shadowfang pairs PAW3950 with a sub-60g shell, optical switches, 100% PTFE skates and a tri-mode wireless module — so nothing else in the chain bottlenecks the tracking.
Sensor — PixArt PAW3950
The PAW3950 reads surface texture cleanly past 6 m/s of hand motion, with zero smoothing and zero prediction. That means every micro-correction your hand makes lands on screen unfiltered — no acceleration, no angle snapping, no input mush.
Polling rate
Polling rate is how often your mouse tells the PC where it is. Higher polling rate means smaller gaps between input reports and lower input latency. Noxen supports all three so you can match the rate to your monitor and CPU.
| Rate | Interval | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 Hz | 1.000 ms | Baseline. Safe for every CPU, every monitor. |
| 4000 Hz | 0.250 ms | Sweet spot for 240–360 Hz monitors. |
| 8000 Hz | 0.125 ms | Lowest input interval. Pair with 360 Hz+ and a strong CPU. |
All Noxen wireless polling rates run over the 2.4 GHz link — no cable required.
