CHERRY XTRFY introduced the M42V2, an ultralight wired gaming mouse, at Gamescom 2026. The device features a symmetrical, solid-shell design weighing 45 grams and includes two interchangeable back shells that can be swapped without tools to accommodate various grip styles.

Technical specifications include a PixArt 3327 optical sensor with sensitivity ranging from 400 to 6,200 CPI and Huano Transparent Blue Shell Pink Dot switches rated for 80 million clicks. While the sensor offers lower resolution than the 2020 M42 predecessor, the new model is lighter and lacks the perforated sides of the previous version. The mouse allows for software-free configuration, enabling users to adjust CPI, polling rate, lift-off distance, and debounce time directly on the device via LED indicators or button combinations. The product is priced at €39.99, $39.99, and £39.99.
