![]() ![]() The Zephyr Pro, on the other hand, comes with an entirely different and, dare I say, more generic shape. In fact, I've yet to see this shape realized on any other mouse, which is somewhat rare these days. For what it's worth, Marsback at least gives a 1-year warranty on the Zephyr Pro, which provides some reassurance.Īside from the fan, the original Zephyr also had a fairly unique shape. I've been told by Marsback that the Zephyr Pro is using a sliding bearing, which is commonly equated to a sleeve bearing, so there is reason to believe that the fan may not last particularly long. On the Zephyr Pro, Marsback doubles down on the mounting angle in that the fan is mounted horizontally, which is the worst possible scenario if a sleeve bearing is used. The fan in the original Zephyr only had a sleeve bearing, and coupled with the fact that it wasn't mounted vertically, but rather at an angle, and warranty only lasting six months, the situation sure wasn't optimal. Whereas the improvements in terms of fan performance are tangible, there is still a question mark behind the durability. Some vibration is still present, but since the fan runs at a much lower RPM, major progress has been made in this regard as well. Equipped with a 30 mm fan instead of a 25 mm one, the Zephyr Pro is similarly effective when it comes to cooling, but cuts down on electrical noise in particular, and the fan runs much quieter in general. The Zephyr Pro improves on its predecessor with a much more mature implementation. The original Zephyr was no exception in this regard: While its built-in fan succeeded in keeping one's hands cool, it did so at the cost of a decent amount of electrical noise and vibration. With anything novel, teething troubles usually are both expected and to some degree excusable. ![]()
