HOW YOU HOLD your mouse can be as personal to you as your fingerprints. Mountain’s Makalu Max comes with a host of customization options, meaning it appears to be well suited to a range of different hand sizes and grips. This strategy of user customization is what has made the company’s keyboards so successful, after all.
We really want to like the Makalu Max. And most of the time, we really do. It’s got a classic PixArt sensor, offering up to 19,000dpi should you need such a level of sensitivity, but it also comes with interchangeable weights. That’s not hugely innovative on its own—many other mice have done this in the past—but few have gone with the sort of weights that enable you to balance that weight around different areas of the mouse body.
You get a set of three rings to use as clip-in weights: One solid, for the heaviest option; one cut out, for the lightest; one with a third filled in and the rest cut out. This last one can be dropped in with the heaviest part of the ring at any point positioned around the circle, skewing the heft toward different sides.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
