For gadget enthusiasts, there are many products where you know the specs but want to try the real thing. Especially with gaming gadgets, there's an appeal that you only truly understand by physically touching them, such as the key feel, fit, or texture.

To address this, at the ASCII-hosted event "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 in LIFORK AKIHABARA II" held on Saturday, October 10th, a wide array of highly anticipated gaming gadgets for this summer will be on display. You'll be able to experience products recommended by our editorial team firsthand.

In this article, from among the gaming gadgets on display, we will introduce the gaming mouse "M-VM800BK".

Achieving High Performance Through a Deliberate Wired Connection: GameSir "Tarantula 8K PC MenaRD Edition"

The GameSir "Tarantula 8K PC MenaRD Edition" is a gamepad that achieves an 8000Hz polling rate by limiting itself to a wired connection.

Pursuing low latency and a lightweight design, it specializes in competitive-level esports. It's a collaboration model with fighting game world champion MenaRD, and its exclusive design is also noteworthy.

*Point 1: Achieving ultra-high-speed 8000Hz input by focusing on a wired connection*

By limiting itself to a wired connection rather than wireless, it achieves an 8000Hz polling rate. This specification is geared towards competitive scenes where input speed is critical. It's a key feature for users who prioritize input performance in games requiring rapid operations.

*Point 2: 0.5ms low latency and 180g lightweight design*

In addition to 0.5ms low latency, the main unit is lightweight at approximately 180g. Designed specifically for competitive-level esports, it features specifications particularly mindful of use in fighting games. This is a device for players who prioritize response speed and maneuverability.

*Point 3: Exclusive design in collaboration with world champion MenaRD*

This collaboration model with fighting game world champion MenaRD features an exclusive color scheme combining green and gold. Furthermore, MenaRD's own signature is designed into the grip area. Beyond its competitive performance, the special feel unique to a collaboration model is also appealing.

Head to Akihabara on Saturday, October 10th! Come and experience the GameSir "Tarantula 8K PC MenaRD Edition" firsthand!

Gaming gadgets have aspects—such as button feel, dial weight, and texture—that cannot be fully understood from photos or specifications alone.

That's why, at this event, we are prioritizing creating a space where you can directly experience a large display of exciting gaming gadgets that you'll want to get your hands on this summer, and that we highly recommend you "definitely touch!"

We've gathered only gaming gadgets that you'll "absolutely want to touch and check out" this summer, so please take this opportunity to experience them.

Our editorial staff will also be at the venue, so please feel free to ask us if you have any questions.

We look forward to seeing you at LIFORK Akihabara II on October 10th!

It's Happening in Akihabara! First-Timers Are Welcome! Come and Touch All the Gaming Gadgets You're Curious About!

Gaming PCs, keyboards, mice, headsets—why not come and try out all the products you're interested in? No matter how many photos you see or spec sheets you read, the one thing you can't know until the end is "what's it actually like to touch?" So, let's try out everything that catches your eye in Akihabara!

The date for "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 (GPS 9)," an event where you can physically touch and experience the latest gaming gadgets and consult with our editorial staff, has been decided! It's Saturday, October 10, 2026!

And here's the important part: this event welcomes you just to look, touch, or compare. It's an event where you can freely try out gadgets at your own pace. There's no need to buy anything, so feel free to drop by!

There's no need to feel intimidated, thinking, "PC events seem to be only for experts, making them hard to enter," or "What if they pressure me to buy something like in a store?" Not being a PC expert is perfectly fine! And of course, participation is free.

At the venue, you can actually experience various devices such as keyboards, mice, and headsets. The key point is that you can carefully compare things like size, keyboard key feel, and mouse grip, which are hard to understand online, right there on the spot. If you're someone who "doesn't know what to choose," you can also easily consult with ASCII editorial staff.

Furthermore, we're planning prize giveaways, mini-stages, and puzzle-solving events. It's an event you can enjoy with such ease: just come, play, look, touch, and remember what caught your eye!

Of course, we'll also be holding the popular prize giveaway from last time—and we'll be doing it big! We've also prepared plenty of commemorative novelties, and we eagerly await your visit.
