Anyone who wants to succeed in competitive gaming knows that a precise and responsive mouse is essential. With the Pulse 01, Akko launches a gaming mouse that impresses with state-of-the-art technology and an elegant design. At the heart of the mouse is the PAW3950 sensor, which sets new standards in precision, speed, and versatility.
High-end technology: The PAW3950 sensor
The PAW3950 is a top-of-the-line optical sensor specifically designed for performance-oriented gaming mice. Compared to the popular PAW3395, it offers improved performance in almost every respect:
- DPI range: Up to 30,000 DPI for ultra-precise aiming – ideal for shooters and other competitive games.
- Tracking speed: 750 IPS (vs. 650 IPS on the PAW3395) for smooth tracking during fast movements.
- Acceleration: Supports up to 70G, making quick changes in direction possible without any problems.
- Surface compatibility: Outstanding performance even on glass and photovoltaic mouse pads, while the PAW3395 reaches its limits here.
- Latency: Even lower response time for a noticeably more direct gaming experience.
Modern wireless performance
The Pulse 01 offers not only powerful hardware but also smart wireless technology:
- 8000Hz polling rate: Combined with a response time of just 0.125 ms, the mouse delivers impressive speed – in both 2.4G wireless and wired mode.
- Dual Nordic chips: These ensure stable connections and optimized energy efficiency.
- Two receivers (8K & 1K): Users can choose maximum performance or longer battery life depending on their needs.
- 500mAh battery: Enough power for many hours of trouble-free wireless gaming.
Design and workmanship
The Pulse 01 is not only powerful but also well-designed:
- Ergonomic shape : Comfortable to hold and reduces fatigue – perfect for long sessions.
- Kailh GM X White Sword Switches : High-quality switches with a lifespan of up to 100 million clicks – longevity is guaranteed.
- Lightweight design : Optimized for fast movements without loss of power.
PAW3950 vs. PAW3395 – Is it worth switching?
While the PAW3395 remains a very powerful sensor, the PAW3950 takes it up a notch in all relevant categories—be it DPI, IPS, acceleration, or surface versatility. Gamers who rely on glass mouse pads or require extremely fast response times will particularly benefit from the upgrade.
| feature | PAW3950 | PAW3395 |
| DPI | up to 30,000 | up to 26,000 |
| IPS | 750 | 650 |
| acceleration | 70G | 50G |
| Surfaces | Very good, even on glass | Weaker on glass |
| latency | Extremely low | Low |
| Target group | Pro gamers, enthusiasts | Premium users, casual players |
Who is the Pulse 01 the right choice for?
The Pulse 01 is clearly aimed at ambitious gamers, especially FPS players, who want to get the most out of their setup. Those who value wireless freedom, lightning-fast response times, and a high-quality design will find an excellent overall package here.
For casual gamers or users with a lower budget, a mouse with PAW3395, such as the AG ONE 8K , remains a clever alternative with good value for money.
Price-performance: Is the Pulse 01 worth the money?
With an early bird price of €69.99, the Pulse 01 offers high-end performance at a significantly lower price than comparable models, such as those from Logitech, which often cost over €100. Akko positions itself very strongly in the premium market – at a mid-range price.
Conclusion
The Pulse 01 gaming mouse combines cutting-edge technology with sophisticated design – all at a compelling price. The PAW3950 sensor, extremely low latency, high tracking performance, and excellent material compatibility make it one of the best options in its class.
If you want to play wirelessly and without compromise, the Pulse 01 is a real recommendation.
