Angry Miao Makes a Major Claim About Its New Gaming Mouse — or Is It?

The AM Infinity Mouse is being heavily promoted by Chinese PC gaming peripherals specialist Angry Miao as an ultra-light gaming mouse with a "infinite battery" that can be charged in just 1.2 seconds, according to a recent animated GIF tease. However, the product summary on its Kickstarter page includes an asterisk beside the claim of infinite battery life, warning that features are still fine-tuning and final details will become available soon. The company's marketing strategy appears to focus more on the instant charging aspect rather than the actual infinite battery technology.
