Fnatic has partnered with BMW to launch the new ‘Fnatic x BMW Vision’ mouse. The collection, which was created especially for the League of Legends team of Fnatic, is ergonomically designed and 3D printed to accurately mirror each player's hand shape, curve, and grip. The mice also offer unique customization options which work to increase competition performance by delivering better control, reaction time, and hand comfort.
Since each mouse's chassis is created from previously used parts from the Fnatic BOLT mouse, consumers who are in the market for sustainably produced gaming peripherals can look no further. The company has recently been concentrating on sustainability, and in September 2022, it also produced a range of eco-friendly desks in partnership with ChopValue.
"The development project for the Fnatic x BMW Vision Mouse is a very good example of how we define our role in esports. Our know-how should benefit the community, and contribute to the further development of the industry," commented Stefan Ponikva, VP of Brand Communications and Experience at BMW.
