Finalmouse is throwing down an even more epic give-away for the infamous ULX Sakura gaming mouse. The entire gaming fraternity just wants to get their hands on one of these. I am talking of upper-tier tech with only 200 units produced, all to be sold from the Finalmouse website this Saturday, 20 September, at 11 am PT.
So, what makes this mouse so special? Finalmouse has been the name in the industry for so long, wheeling out probably the lightest mice in existence that FPS players swear by. Now the ULX Sakura upholds that tradition with its stunning design in electric pink and white cherry blossom tones, and that’s just…chef’s kiss. This is one piece of equipment that will change the entire vibe of an innately basic setup, whether you’re stuck in Silver or not.
The general entry requisites are fairly straightforward-whatever had to be done on the inside and out. These included retweeting and liking the announcement post, following Finalmouse on Twitter, and tagging a friend in the reply section with the hashtag #sakura. As per the statements, they were clearly gagged for the entries as the comment section got flooded.
Look at these comments. Users tag every single person they could think of, with the likes of, “@finalmouse @HERLEM__ #sakura” from Abe and “@finalmouse @boltzfn6 we are winning this #sakura giveaway PLEASE” from Purpelain, who sounds quite desperate for this win. It really is too much excitement.
Some of the entries even strung in a bit of international flair: with comments in various languages that got translated. A user commented in Spanish: “@finalmouse #sakura mira que ratón más guapo @YagoG67154,” which would very literally translate to “look what a handsome mouse”- which, fair enough, it is pretty slick. Another one said in German, “@finalmouse @ShankyyCON So eine #sakura Maus wäre doch geil,” meaning “such a sakura mouse would be awesome.”
It’s so very cool to see the number of people talking specifically about this mouse complementing their setup or fitting straight into their gaming style. The user Rokiishi said “@finalmouse @firodota it’s so me coded ;-; #sakura,” which is honestly what we feel. When gear feels like it was made just for you.
The community response has been insane, with hundreds of tags and replies pouring in within minutes after the announcement. People are tagging their duo partners, their clan mates, and buzz their random friends who would really enjoy this kind of upgrade. Honestly, it’s quite heartwarming seeing this many people trying to win one for themselves AND for their friends.
Whenever Finalmouse has always had a cultfollowing among serious competitive players, but it seems this Sakura edition is hitting differently. The aesthetic is… it’s giving premium gaming gear but make it fashion. Like wow, if you had this sitting on your desk, even non-gamers would say it looks dope.
The timing is perfect as well; with the actual launch happening this weekend, this giveaway is creating massive hype just at the brink of the drop. If you ask me, how smart is that kind of marketing? Get people talking, get them engaged, and then boom: limited edition mouse goes down in history after selling out in less than a minute.
Another thing about this is the craziness of professional or semi-pro players seemingly signing up for this giveaway. There are people with team names in their handles, content creators, and practically every other stakeholder in the gaming scene trying to get their hands on these. When the scene wants something, you know it’s legit.
ULX has been for weight (or weightlessness) and performance, whereas the Sakura edition takes it to the next level in terms of looks. It’s not just another black or white mouse-it’s got some personality. And in an age where everyone’s going to try and flex their setup on Twitch or TikTok, limited-edition gear is basically the currency.
Some entries have given me a good chuckle. MarcelWieserfn wrote the oft-effective “@finalmouse I can test the maus” – to the point: no more nonsense, just gimme the mouse to test bro. On the other hand, others went into full paragraphs on how much they need this to be part of their existence.
Being cherry blossom-themed, this baby hits all the right notes across the aesthetic gaming trend that exploded into existence in the past year. Think of all the pink setups, pastels, and whatnot – this mouse is going to find its way into one of those viral desk set-up videos that garner millions of views.
What is imposing about Finalmouse is that they have always managed to place their limited-edition runs inside a loop of urgency and exclusivity. This is not just another product you can go grab anytime-anytime. This is a drop, an event. So this giveaway pretty much compounds the value since you can’t pay your way in.
Actually, now that they’re doling out a pair of mice, that ramps it up a few notches, I’m guessing $300+ value? Maybe it even goes higher than that since the limited-edition stuff is always priced at a premium. I mean, this is big-time to come down to actually winning this, not just some cheap peripheral.
Going through the replies, you can be sure it has international views and interests. Comments in English, Spanish, German, Korean; the whole world gaming community is yearning to partake in this. Finalmouse has definitely carved out for itself an international identity, albeit much smaller than the big brands.
If one were to merely believe and judge by how previous Finalmouse drops panned out, this week’s launch promises to be nothing but wrath. Things go literally seconds quickly. Therefore, the giveaway shall be a glimmer of hope for some to get their hands on the Sakura edition beyond the checkout page refresh war.
It’s kinda nice to watch how the culture of giveaways has grown over time. Gone are the days of giveaways just being about the goods-excitement building, hype creation, and moments shared-all of these have come to define giveaways. This tweet has now kind of morphed into this little micro-community of people all hoping for the same thing, cheering each other on with their entries, and sharing in the excitement.
Anyway, while you can still enter, you’d better be on Twitter doing just that. The Sakura looks crazy, and with two you and your gaming partner could match. How sick would that be? Just saying.
Finalmouse really knows its audience: limited runs, high-end merch, and authentic engagement rather than corporate engagement. They’ve grown a brand that genuinely excites people, and the Sakura giveaway is just another proof of why they’ve garnered such a loyal following in the gaming arena.
Best of luck to everyone who’ll be entering. May the odds be ever in your favor, or whatever. I hope a lucky reader will walk away with one and get to enjoy that sweet, sweet ultra-light Sakura experience.
