Lightweight comfort - MOUNTAIN MAK ALU 67
HWM Singapore|November 2021
Mountain is a relatively new player in the gaming peripherals space, but if the Makalu 67 is anything to go by, you can probably expect a lot more from this upstart firm. You’ve got to hand it to these guys – the gaming mouse space grows more saturated by the day, but they’ve managed to create something that feels unique enough to stand on its own.

At 67g, the Makalu 67 is one of those ultralight gaming mice that seem to be everywhere today. It’s incredibly nimble, and it achieves that weight not with a traditional honeycomb shell, but what the company calls a lightweight rib cage design. This supposedly provides strength without the need for a subframe, and the mouse does feel very robustly built with no noticeable flexing or creaking anywhere.

But make no mistake. This may be a super light mouse, but it’s a big one. Measuring a good 127mm long, it’s made for those with large-sized hands and is shaped for the palm grip. With ergonomic contours for your thumb and pinky, a tall hump that amply fills your palm, and a wide rump, it is extremely comfortable to use. I’ll admit that it’s too big for me and doesn’t suit my grip style.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing though. Not every mouse has to be an esports-oriented, performance demon, and I can think of a lot of people out there who just want a mouse that feels this good in their hand.
