XA25 Batch 1 is sold out. Thank you all for the support!
We're opening a batch 2 waitlist on our website xbabtech.com
The waitlist has a limit of 1000 emails. All 1000 emails will get a 24 hour exclusive period with a guaranteed chance to order in batch 2.
Small update on XA25: PCBs should be arriving next week. Final assembly will begin immediately after, so things are right on track for orders to start shipping in late Oct.
In the meantime, check out @DiamondLobby's XA25 review on Patreon (free vid): patreon.com/DiamondLobby/pos…
Introducing the #8KChallenge for all mouse enthusiasts, reviewers, and brands.
1. Open MouseTester, MousePlotter, or a similar app.
2. Set your mouse to 8000 Hz and 3200+ DPI.
3. Move it in circles for 60 seconds.
4. Check the graph of the time intervals. All points below 0.2 ms = pass. Any above 0.2 ms= fail.
Pass or fail, share your screenshot along with your mouse, test app, and OS. All three must work together flawlessly to pass this challenge.
Here's ours: the XA25 on Linux, tested with MousePlotter's CLI.
This is not an easy challenge to pass. We believe that passing it likely requires the combination of
- A wired 8k mouse (or a wireless mouse in wired mode) that has cleanly designed firmware.
- A USB cable with good signal integrity to avoid dropped packets
- A clean linux installation with little background activity or a very stripped-down Windows install.
- Disabling various C-states in BIOS settings.
- and... patience to move a mouse in circles for a full minute
We've finished preparing 500+ XA25 boxes and cables for batch 1. Other accessories are ready too.
The only pieces we're waiting on are the PCBs and shells. These are scheduled to arrive in batches throughout October, so everything is on track for shipping to start by late Oct.
Final reminder: XA25 pre-orders begin in 10.5 hours at xbabtech.com/. See the countries we ship to at xbabtech.com/shipping/.
Japan pre-orders begin in 3.5 hours at shop.nitro-factory.com/en/pr…, restricted to Japanese addresses only.
xbabtech.com/ will have a "Buy now" button at the top. No need to refresh as the page auto-updates. The direct checkout link will also be posted on our Discord server immediately on launch, which might be faster than the website updates.
Limit 1 XA25 per customer. Payment is supported via credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal Wallet, and Shop Pay. Support page of our website contains details on returns and warranty. Everything is right on track for shipping to begin in late October.
One minor note for EU customers: to avoid duties, the XA25 is priced at 151 EUR and shipping is adjusted down. Previous estimates are still fairly accurate.

XBAB Tech XA25のご紹介です！

We were inspired by the highly detailed 3d scans of mice on findmymouse.com (@bardozVAL) and on eloshapes.com (@EloShapes). But we don't have a 3d scanner.
So this was my workflow, which for the most part worked exceptionally well (aided by the XA25's textured surface):
Hardware:
- smartphone
- phone tripod
- cake turntable
- diffuse lighting
Besides the phone, you can get all of these for about $50 total.
1. I took ~240 photos of an XA25 with my S25 ultra's 5x telephoto camera. Phone was held in a tripod, and the XA25 was rotated on a cake turner. Many different heights, many angles, to capture how the mouse looks from every angle. The mouse was also flipped upside down and onto its sides for many photos.
2. I used MotionCam to take RAW photos with fixed ISO and exposure. These were then processed minimally in RawTherapee to get JPGs.
3. I loaded these JPGs into the photogrammetry software RealityScan (free for individuals and small businesses).
4. In RealityScan, I went through the usual workflow (mask, align, compute mesh, simplify, clean, unwrap, texturize) using mostly stock settings, and export a GLB.
5. With the help of AI agents, the GLB was squeezed down to 2-3 MB (meshopt and webp) and then displayed on our website using <model-viewer>.
The end result has some flaws. The white PTFE feet are messed up, and the scroll wheel texture isn't correct. But the textured gray surface was reconstructed insanely well, and even much of the visible underside came out reasonably well, despite the XA25's complex interior.
Overall, I'm very happy with the result.
