- Ragnok first created their series 2 gun mouse, which was a vertical mouse with only a gun grip.
- Then, with their series 3, ErgoStrike 7, they added a gun chamber with a vibrating block that adds like recoil.
- It is very comfortable, with an ergonomic design and a satisfying trigger. It’s a mouse you have to try at least once.
Gaming mice come in all forms, some small, some extremely lightweight, some with higher or lower polling rates, and some ergonomic. Vertical mice are a typical example of an ergonomic mouse, but there isn’t anything unique to that.
Therefore, Ragnok has entered the peripherals market with its innovation of adding a gun recoil to a vertical mouse. How does that work, and most importantly, is it practical? In this article, let’s answer these common questions.
Ragnok’s Past Mouse
Ragnok has first released their gun mouse back in 2021-2022 but the design wasn’t refined and the company felt like a scam to most people. However, they released the Ragnok 2 in 2023, which felt like a better product.
Great Concept
This mouse was vertical and resembled the grip design of a real gun, with the company claiming to have the same ratio as that of a real gun’s grip. Behind the grip, there was a long resting piece that had vibration feedback.
It had a trigger in the front that was more like a trigger in a VR controller. Beneath it was your ADS button, which you could use with your middle finger. The mouse also had a scroll wheel on the side, with an additional button below it.
Cheap Finish
This was already a cool concept that wasn’t introduced before, but the mouse had some rough edges. Firstly, the build quality felt very cheap, with the plastic body feeling like it would break in an instance.
Bad Buttons
Secondly, the trigger buttons felt weird; even though they were MK switches we have on keyboards, they still felt very cheap. The design also doesn’t fit super comfortably on every player’s hand.
ErgoStrike 7
So after this mouse, Ragnok decided to make another refined variant and recently released in 2025 released their ErgoStrike 7. This mouse fixed a lot of the issues the previous mouse, Ragnok, had.
Renewed Design
Right of the bat you can see that the design has underwent a lot of changes and it already looks good. Now, the mouse resembles a pistol with the two tone color, a separate chamber, and a much more better grip.
Now, it is comfortable to hold because of its more ergonomic shape, which would suit players with different hand sizes. The base has been made larger, and the palm rest has been integrated into the mouse.
There’s also a thin line of RGB added on both sides of the mouse, located just below the chamber of the mouse. This subtle addition enhances the look of the mouse, making it suitable for gaming.
Satisfying Buttons
It also includes a proper trigger like you have in a real gun, which was previously missing. All the other buttons also have a nice feel when you press them. It also sounds much like a normal mouse instead of sounding like a keyboard.
Feel The Recoil
Now, for the most unique part about this new mouse, the recoil. Since it has a top design like the chamber in a gun, there’s a Lego-like block placed that acts like a recoil. Once you press the trigger, it goes back and forth very quickly.
You can adjust the recoil you want with a slideable button, which can ramp up the recoil to 2x the standard amount. You get the recoil where the mouse vibrates, similar to what is found in console controllers.
Its Price…
At $129, it is on the higher side compared to other vertical mice like the Logitech MX vertical mouse. It is a good price point, but it’ll be even more worth it if there’s a discount on it, just like there is on the Viper V2 Pro.
How Practical Is It?
You could be mistaken if you think this mouse would grant you an unfair advantage in-game because of its gun-like design. If anything, you could be disadvantaged with this mouse, especially if you haven’t used a vertical one before.
See, at the end of the day, it acts just like any other vertical mouse, except it has a slight recoil and much more satisfying buttons. However, you can get used to it, and switching back to a standard mouse will be harder.
