The included shaft puller is a dual-purpose tool for keycaps and switches. One end is for removing keycaps and the other for removing the hot-swappable Gateron switches on the K74M. This time, the author used the K74M model with the green switches. The glowing Gateron mechanical switch is rated for up to 50 million keystrokes and boasts NKRO anti-ghosting functionality to ensure accurate signal output. The key travel for the Gateron blue switch is 4.0±5mm. Typing with the green switch offers a unique and satisfying tactile experience. However, despite the K74M’s three-layer noise reduction design, the audible click of the green switches might still be a bit disruptive to those nearby.

One significant feature of the K74M is its hot-swappable design. If after some time, you find yourself unsatisfied with the Gateron switches or wish to try a different type, you can easily swap them out using the shaft puller.

The K74M comes with a “Gateron light-emitting mechanical switch,” which illuminates with a white backlight when powered on. However, the backlight color is exclusively white, with no other color options available in the software or settings. The white backlight is reflected from underneath the keycap onto the upper cover area and shines through the English characters on the keycap.

Pink Bubbles iRocks M31R All-round Three-mode Connected Mouse Unboxing

A few months ago, this site unboxed both the black and white versions of the iRocks M31R. This ultra-lightweight mouse, weighing just 66g, supports three types of connections: wireless 2.4G, Bluetooth 5.0, and wired. It uses a 500mAh high-capacity lithium battery, providing up to 105 hours of maximum battery life, while also minimizing its own weight.

The left, middle, and right buttons utilize Kaihua Kailh GM8.0 micro switches, designed to last for 80 million clicks. The PAW3395 sensor delivers a maximum DPI of 26,000, acceleration of 50G, and a polling rate of 1,000 Hz. iRocks provides a two-year warranty for the M31R as part of their after-sales service.

The dimensions of the mouse itself are 123 X 66.5 X 40 mm, making it a relatively sleek design. The M31R is, in fact, a right-handed mouse. The left and right key sections in the front half are symmetrically designed, but the rear half is slightly tilted. This grip style is more suitable for those who prefer a fingertip grip or users with smaller hands.

The front scroll wheel and left and right buttons of the mouse utilize Kailh GM8.0 microswitches, providing a robust service life of 80 million clicks. The middle button of the grey scroll wheel features a Y-shaped anti-slip texture to enhance grip. There are two DPI setting switch buttons on the underside, allowing software customization of DPI from 100 to 26,000.

On the side of the mouse, there are two side buttons. Their placement is very convenient, with a recessed groove situated between them. This design enhances tactile feedback, enabling quicker and clearer distinction between the front and rear buttons, which can be particularly useful during swift operations.

The only lighting effect of the M31R is concentrated in the scroll wheel.

The M31R uses the PixArt PAW3395 optical sensor along with a built-in 500 mAh rechargeable lithium battery. When the lighting is turned off, it can operate for 75 hours in 2.4 GHz connection mode and 105 hours in Bluetooth mode. Consequently, there’s no visible battery compartment on the M31R, allowing for a simpler design and a reduced weight of 66g.

The mouse also features a three-way connection mode switch at its base. Arranged from top to bottom, these modes are Bluetooth, wired, and 2.4 GHz, allowing users to select their preferred connection type. The RPT button, located on the other side of the sensor, adjusts the report rate (RPT). When connected via 2.4 GHz, you can switch among 125 Hz/250 Hz/500 Hz/1000 Hz using this button, while the Bluetooth connection mode remains fixed at 125 Hz.

There is a concealed storage area next to the smooth mouse pad sticker, which houses a 2.4 GHz wireless receiver. The receiver itself is a USB-A interface with dimensions of 18.6 X 14.2 X 6.1 mm.

The additional accessories included with the M31R comprise a set of spare mouse pads, a 180cm wired connection cable, and a USB-C to A adapter. In some scenarios, you might insert the 2.4 GHz wireless receiver into the I/O ports located at the back of the motherboard. However, if the 2.4 GHz wireless signal is disrupted by airflow patterns around the PC or invisible signal interference, you can use the provided connection cable and USB-C to A adapter to position the 2.4 GHz wireless receiver on the desktop. This arrangement ensures there are no obstacles between the mouse and the receiver, thus allowing for the best possible signal transmission.

The iRocks “M31R Wireless Mouse Application Software” indeed allows you to have complete control over your M31R mouse, including the following:

  1. Button Configuration: You can assign various functions to the seven buttons on your M31R mouse. For example, you can set up macros or reassign button functions to better fit your gaming or productivity needs.
  2. DPI Settings: The software allows you to adjust the DPI (Dots Per Inch), which determines the sensitivity of your mouse. This can be especially useful in gaming where precision can be critical.

  5. Sensitivity Settings: This feature allows you to adjust the sensitivity of your mouse to your liking, which can help improve your accuracy in games or your comfort in day-to-day usage.
