The Swiftpoint Z2 is an ergonomically designed gaming and productivity mouse that is packed full of features to aid with comfort and efficiency. Inside the matte black shell you'll find a gyroscope and accelerometer, which enable the Z2 to process inputs when tilting the mouse either left or right, ideal for leaning in supported FPS games. What's more, the Z2 features a builtin haptic motor which can be fully customised and assigned to actions, helping you feel when your inputs have been registered via a gentle (or not so gentle) vibration.

Alongside those tilt and vibration features, the Z2 has what Swiftpoint call ‘Deep Click' technology' – which translates to the left click, right click, scroll wheel and two of the additional buttons being force sensitive. Each one of these pressure sensitive buttons can have multiple actions assigned to it and each are fully customisable in regards to how much pressure is needed for the assigned action to be executed. This leads to many use cases across gaming and general productivity work – such as copying and pasting with a single mouse button.

The Z2 has 13 different buttons in total and comes with an array of swappable button caps to allow users to find their perfect fit.

Another of Swiftpoint's products is the ProPoint. A very unusual pen-grip style mouse which has been designed to combat in the ineffective design in laptop trackpads. This tiny peripheral weighs just 24g and features a total of three buttons and a side mounted scroll wheel. Just like the Z2, it also contains a gyroscope and supports Windows Gestures via tilting the mouse sidewards.

The low powered sensor tops out at 1800 DPI and helps the battery in the ProPoint last roughly 2 weeks on a single charge. Charging is simple and utilises the included USB dongle, which doubles up as a magnetic charging dock which will grant an hours charge in just 60 second thanks to its rapid charging functionality.

The ProPoint also functions as a fully featured presentation clicker, with built in features such as magnification, laser pointing and highlighting. Finally, the software contains ‘hand health' options which will remind you to stretch or take a break from the computer to help you remain healthy and focused.
