Metallic Hall effect keyboard and 59g mouse are Lenovo’s latest enhancements for a snazzy gaming setup
Magnetic gaming keyboards and lightweight mice aren’t quite the norm anymore, but Lenovo is trying to push both ideas with its latest Legion headphones. The new lineup includes the Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and the Legion Y7MG mouse, and both support an 8,000Hz polling rate for gamers who want all input delivered to their PC as quickly as possible.
Of course, Lenovo has styled these monitors to be as bold and eye-catching as possible without compromising on style. The keyboard has a heavy metallic design with bright keycaps and RGB lighting. Compared to that, the mouse is sleek and traditional in its design, but also has an RGB strip that looks like it belongs to an outer spaceship. (via NotebookCheck)
Lenovo has packed almost everything into the keyboard
The R7 RT75 uses a 75% compact design and Hall effect magnetic switching rather than TMR technology. Each key supports adjustable activation, quick trigger, and sensitivity changes down to 0.01mm, while features like SOCD, DKS, and multi-point triggering are available for players interested in fine-tuning movement and key behavior.
The keyboard has a CNC machined aluminum body and weighs about 1.49kg, so it is less likely to slip during intense gaming. Lenovo also added a carbon-fiber positioning plate, a gasketed structure, and five layers of sound dampening material to improve the typing experience and keep unwanted noise under control. The 1.47-inch screen sits in the upper right corner and can display settings, contact information, and other information. RGB lighting runs through the keys and sides, while the magnetic top cover can be removed without tools.
Connectivity includes USB-C, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth. A full polling rate of 8,000Hz is available for wired and 2.4GHz connections, although Bluetooth drops to 125Hz. An unusually large 8,000mAh battery handles wireless use and should help meet the demands of the Hall effect switch, high polling rate, RGB lighting, and built-in display.
The mouse delivers 8K resolution in a lightweight design
The Legion Y7MG weighs 59 grams despite using a magnesium-alloy upper shell. Lenovo has paired it with PixArt’s PAW3950 sensor, which supports sensitivity settings up to 42,000 DPI, alongside optical switches rated for 100 million clicks. It also supports wired, 2.4GHz, and Bluetooth connections, while 8,000Hz polling is available in wired and 2.4GHz modes. A 500mAh battery powers the mouse when used wirelessly.
Both accessories are currently available in China. The R7 RT75 costs CNY 1,299, or about $192, while the Y7MG starts at CNY 499, or about $73. Lenovo has not yet confirmed whether it will be released internationally.
