About Lexip

Lexip is a French company specializing in the design and production of computer peripherals, with a significant focus on the gaming sector. The company is a subsidiary of the Pixminds group, which was founded in 1999 by Lionel Chataignier. Lexip initially gained widespread attention through a successful Kickstarter campaign for its revolutionary 3D gaming mouse. This campaign, led by Hugo Loi, raised €429,621 from 3,824 backers, significantly exceeding its initial goal.

The company's core business revolves around creating advanced input devices for both gamers and professional users, such as designers and engineers. Its flagship product, the Pu94, is a high-performance gaming mouse featuring two integrated joysticks. One joystick is a thumb-operated analog stick on the side, and the other is a unique internal pivot mechanism that allows the entire mouse shell to tilt up to 30 degrees along two axes, registering over 300,000 positions. This dual-joystick system offers an enhanced level of control for a variety of game genres, from flight simulators and racing games to first-person shooters, by allowing users to perform complex actions with one hand. The mouse is equipped with a laser sensor with a sensitivity of up to 8,200 DPI.

Beyond its initial hardware innovations, Lexip's business model has expanded to include collaborations and licensed products. The company partners with major video game franchises like Assassin's Creed, Naruto, and Tekken to create limited-edition, collectible peripherals. These products include mice, headsets, keyboards, and other accessories designed to appeal to fans and collectors. This strategy allows Lexip to cater to a broad audience of gamers, creators, and pop culture enthusiasts, generating revenue through the sale of both its standard and limited-edition product lines. Recently, the parent company Pixminds announced a strategic rebranding to Lexip and a €19.4 million funding round to further its growth.
