Angry Miao Infinity Mouse Review: Specs, Price, EVA Unit-01 Recolor

That purple-and-green "Unit-01" Angry Miao Infinity you keep seeing on desk-setup posts? Yeah, it's not official. Angry Miao never made it — what you're looking at is someone who took the mouse apart and repainted it themselves. So really there are two questions here: is the Infinity Mouse actually worth buying, and if you go the recolor route, is it worth losing your warranty over? The short version: the hardware's solid, but the price is tough to swallow, and the recolor comes with real tradeoffs.

The Stock Infinity: What You're Actually Getting

Angry Miao dropped the Infinity in March 2025 — their first mouse ever (the company's run by Li Nan). The pitch is straightforward: hollowed magnesium-aluminum shell, 49 grams, and this weird "1.2-second fast charge" thing that apparently juices the battery back up using some kind of contact system underneath. Probably capacitor stuff, honestly.

People's takes have been all over the place. Fans say the PAW3950 at 8K polling feels buttery for work and gaming, that 49g makes heavier mice feel like bricks within a week, and the open frame actually kills the sweaty-hands problem. Build quality's solid and customer service is fast — that counts for something.

But then there's the other side. The biggest complaint you'll see on forums: everything inside is off-the-shelf. The driver's stock, the sensor's stock — the only custom part is the shell and the software. So paying a premium for that gets harder to justify. People have straight-up called it "a tax for not being poor," and teardown videos keep asking whether it's actually substance or just style. Oh, and Angry Miao keyboards have had reliability issues within six months, which doesn't help their reputation even if this mouse isn't the problem.

The price drop tells you something too: ¥890 at launch, then deals putting it down to ¥591. That's real pressure. Full price basically means you're paying a streetwear markup.

The Unit-01 Recolor Situation

Want that EVA purple-and-green? Only way is to have someone take it apart and respray it. Which means, straight up: goodbye warranty.

1. Warranty's gone. The second they open that shell, you're on your own.

2. Coating quality is a gamble. We don't really know how durable these UV coatings hold up, and if the paint gets too thick, it can mess with how the button posts fit — on a mouse engineered this tight, that's not nothing.

3. Don't believe the hype on coatings. All that talk about "nano scratch-resistant" finishes? No one's actually proven any of that.

If you do it anyway, find a shop that does a lot of these, has actual photos of finished work, and make sure the price includes taking it apart and putting it back together. The Infinity's design is tricky — the shell and internal structure are basically one piece, so it's harder to open than a normal mouse.

There's a safer bet though: Edifier actually made an official Unit-01 colorway back in 2023. The G3M PRO "Spirit" in purple and green, 3395 sensor, dual switch options, tri-mode, around ¥200. Completely different tier of mouse, but it's legit and comes with zero risk.

The Full Setup and Who Should Actually Buy This

The mouse isn't sitting alone here. It's paired with a Battleye 74.5 RT keyboard with magnetic switches in the same purple and translucent green, an EVA Unit-01 figure sitting above the arrow keys, a glowing ESC dial, and a monitor wallpaper tying everything together. The recolor was done by Siwei Qidian studio.

Should you buy in? Depends:

If you're practical — pass. The ¥600 range is packed with other Chinese brands (ATK Liekong, MCHOSE A7, VXE Dragonfly), and you can grab a PAW3950 with 8K for ¥200–300. The Infinity premium is for the design and the charging ritual, not the specs.

If you actually like the design and use Angry Miao gear — wait for a sale. Around ¥600 becomes defensible; never pay full price. Want the EVA look? Buy the standard color and think about recoloring later if you still want it.

If you have smaller hands — check out the .97 version. It's designed for you with a 115mm body, 47g weight, and closed side skirts, but ¥1,280 is steep. Better to wait for a price drop on that one.

If you're committed to Unit-01 — do the math first. Warranty loss, coating gamble, then another ¥300–500 for the paint job on top of the mouse cost. Is the nostalgia worth it?

What It Comes Down To

The Angry Miao Infinity is a design-first mouse built on generic parts. The specs work fine, it feels good, and that hollowed magnesium shell is genuinely unique — but you're definitely paying a brand premium, and the community's split on whether it's worth it. The "Unit-01" isn't real, it's just a third-party option that essentially means paying twice to feel nostalgic. Know your budget before you jump in.

What's in this setup:

• Mouse: Angry Miao Infinity Mouse
• Keyboard: Battleye 74.5 RT
