Description
The ASUS Marshmallow MD100 redefines the portable peripheral with a blend of minimalist aesthetics and practical engineering. Weighing just 56 grams and featuring a slim 27.8mm profile, this mouse is designed to slip into any laptop sleeve without creating bulk. Its standout feature is the magnetic interchangeable cover system, allowing users to switch between colorways like Oat Milk and Matcha Green or Quiet Blue and Solar Blue to match their personal style or workspace.
This product is for:
- Digital Nomads: The 56g weight and hidden carrying strap make it a highly portable companion for remote work and travel.
- Students and Library Users: Silent micro-switches rated under 20dB ensure productivity without disturbing others in quiet study zones.

- Ambidextrous Users: The symmetrical design provides ergonomic comfort for both left and right-handed users.

Detailed specifications:
- Connectivity: Dual-mode RF 2.4GHz and Bluetooth 5.0 with a 10m range.
- Sensor: Optical tracking with adjustable 800, 1000, and 1600 DPI settings.
- Durability: Switches rated for 10 million clicks, three times the lifespan of standard office mice.
- Dimensions: 107 x 60 x 27.8 mm; Weight: 56g (excluding battery).
- Battery Life: Up to 12 months on a single AA battery with built-in power-saving technology.
- Glides: 100% gaming-grade PTFE feet for low-friction movement on various surfaces.
Using the MD100 feels remarkably fluid thanks to the 100% PTFE feet, which are typically reserved for high-end gaming peripherals. The tactile feedback is crisp yet nearly silent, making it ideal for late-night sessions or open-office plans. Switching between DPI levels is intuitive, allowing for a quick transition from precise photo editing at 800 DPI to rapid web browsing at 1600 DPI. The hidden strap is a functional addition, enabling one-finger transport between meeting rooms.
Compared to standard plastic-footed office mice, the MD100 offers superior glide and significantly longer switch longevity. While many portable mice sacrifice connectivity options, the MD100 includes both a 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth 5.0, providing a more stable link than Bluetooth-only competitors. Its profile is slimmer than traditional ergonomic mice, yet it offers a more robust 10-million click rating and the unique ability to change physical colors without purchasing a new device.
