Why am I seeing this Single-sourced — only TechPowerUp has this
Only TechPowerUp has this. It is here on that single source, so read it as one outlet's reporting until somebody else confirms it.

What happened
Gaming mice, in their never-ending pursuit for ever-increasing sensitivity, responsiveness, and features, are still just "pro office equipment," at least according to Arkade, the company behind The Arkade Gaming Gun, which claims to be a more intuitive way to play FPS games with "performance metrics that rival high-end mice," according to the brand 's in-house testing. Arkade says that the gaming gun will be produced and start shipping in 2027 and is taking pre-orders, starting at $299 during the pre-order phase, with that price later expected to reach $399. The Arkade Gaming Gun aims to approximate the experience of using something like a traditional light gun, but it is designed for use in modern FPS games.
