Pulsar and Noctua built a gaming mouse with an actual fan inside

South Korean peripheral maker Pulsar is teaming up with Noctua — the Austrian company famous for those brown and beige PC fans you see in every enthusiast build — on something genuinely weird: a gaming mouse with a fan built into it.

The Pulsar Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition will launch globally on July 21 at 3:00 PM Beijing time. The mouse uses a vented honeycomb shell in Noctua’s signature brown color scheme, and inside sits an actual Noctua NF-A4x10 5V PWM fan — the same 40mm model you might use to cool a mini-ITX build. It has five speed levels controlled by PWM, and Pulsar says it keeps the palm cool even during long sessions in warm weather.

Under the hood, the specs are no joke. The shell is carbon-fiber composite, and the mouse runs on a Nordic nRF54L15 SoC paired with a Pixon XS-2 optical sensor that goes up to 42,000 DPI. Optical switches handle clicks, the polling rate hits 8kHz, and the whole thing weighs about 73 grams. Dimensions come in at 121.7 × 66.5 × 43.3 mm.

This isn’t the first mouse with a fan, but it might be the first from a collaboration this specific. Noctua’s fans are practically an institution in PC building — their NH-D15 cooler and NF-A12x25 fan have been top recommendations for years. Seeing the brand’s brown-and-beige aesthetic on a mouse is unexpected, and that’s kind of the point.

Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but given the hardware inside and the limited-edition nature of the collab, expect it to sit at a premium over Pulsar’s standard Feinmann F01.
