Epomaker has launched the EM3, a tri-mode gaming mouse priced at $35.99 with a carbon fibre-reinforced shell and a magnetic charging dock. The mouse weighs around 56 grams and uses a PAW3315 optical sensor supporting up to 16,000 DPI.
Why it matters
The EM3 offers wireless, Bluetooth and wired options at a lower price point than many premium gaming mice, giving competitive players more connectivity choices. Its shape is aimed at small to medium-sized hands, broadening the range of users it targets.
The EM3 weighs around 56g and uses a PAW3315 sensor rated up to 16,000 DPI, with a 600mAh battery rated for up to 55 hours on a full charge. Independent verification of these manufacturer figures was not provided.

The mouse features a carbon fibre-reinforced shell and tri-mode connectivity across 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth and USB.

Tech Race
The EM3 uses the PAW3315 optical sensor, a component family found across budget and mid-range gaming mice, to bring 16,000 DPI tracking and tri-mode connectivity to a sub-$40 price point. That places it in direct competition with wireless gaming mice from rival peripheral makers that have popularised similar sensor and connectivity combinations.
The mouse's 55-hour rated battery life and magnetic charging dock change how often players need to charge during long sessions. Players weighing a wireless mouse in the $35.99 range can now compare its tri-mode connectivity against other options on the market.
The takeaway
Gamers shopping for a budget wireless mouse should compare connectivity options, weight and battery rating against their own play style before buying. Checking whether the sensor and software features match daily needs helps avoid overpaying for unused capabilities.
