Finding a lightweight, precise and solidly made gaming mouse at a reasonable price? Anyone who has tried at least once knows that this usually means chasing compromises. Low weight is sometimes a problem with durability, a great sensor is sometimes "ransomed" by poor materials, and ergonomics does not always keep up with gamers' expectations. At GENESIS we know these pains very well, which is why our bestselling model is back in a new, refined version.
Introducing the GENESIS Zircon 500 G2 - a refreshed, improved and simply better version of the well-known Zircon 500 mouse.
Lighter, bigger, better fit
Zircon 500 G2 is a response to the most frequent feedback from users of the previous generation. The new version is made of better quality materials, which translates into a more solid construction and precise fit of the components. At the same time, the G2 is much lighter than its predecessor - only 52 instead of 79 grams, which makes a noticeable difference when used in dynamic games.
Extremely importantly, the mouse - as suggested by users - has been enlarged to lie better in the hand. Many players using the G1 signaled that the previous model was too small for them. In the G2 version, the ergonomics have been improved to meet the needs of both claw, fingertip and palm grip fans.

Control that makes a difference
In the Zircon 500 G2, we have improved not only the housing, but also the key elements responsible for precision. The scroll has gained a more tactile, satisfying stroke, making it easier to control weapons, change equipment, and work in applications. We replaced the main switches with Huano Purple switches with a lifespan of up to 90 million clicks, which significantly increases the durability of the entire design. Added to this is the lighter pressure of the main buttons reduced by 5 grams. The result? Faster response, less hand fatigue and more natural clicking even during long hours of sessions.
Proven solutions that work
We left the battery unchanged - 300 mAh, which is the capacity that worked well for the previous generation and provides long runtime without compromise.
GENESIS Zircon 500 G2 is a mouse for gamers who expect a lightweight, refined and comfortable design, without sacrificing durability and high quality workmanship. This is not just an improved version of the bestselling model, it is a response to the real needs of our community, which helped us create a gaming mouse that is better from every angle.
