Designed by leading researchers in neural interfaces and bionic limbs from the University of Waterloo, Impulse is the first gaming peripheral that enables you to react at the speed of thought by recognizing your intention to click your mouse. Commands activated with Impulse are faster than mouse clicks by up to 80 milliseconds, paving the way for an unprecedented gaming experience.

Impulse has built-in sensors that use a proprietary machine-learning algorithm to read your muscles’ biosignals and predict your clicking intentions. Essentially, we’re cutting out the time lag between when you think about clicking and when your finger actually executes on that movement through muscular contraction.
 

Impulse weighs less than 50 grams and works with any gaming mouse, so you don’t need to change your existing gaming setup to use it.

From faster gaming mice to better monitors, you’re constantly trying to improve your reaction in your game-play. Impulse is the next evolution—reducing your lag by interpreting your intentions from the neural data in your muscles. 

Impulse gives you an extra edge in FPS, MOBA, RTS games, and more. React, fire, and rapid fire faster to beat out the competition. Impulse improves performance for both left and right click actions.

After a couple of sessions, some of our beta testers started to forget they were even wearing Impulse. Have more than one gaming device? No problem, Impulse works with any mouse, any time. Impulse will also be available for both left- and right-handed gamers. 

 

 

Between your intention to click your mouse, and when the actual click happens, two processes take place simultaneously:

 

The time difference between these two processes is called EMD. The proprietary algorithm of Impulse leverages the electric process, while the physical mouse relies on the mechanical process. This is the Impulse difference!

 

Here’s a full breakdown of our tech specs:

 

Impulse is the very first consumer neural interface of its kind, but we’re far from the first team to attempt to improve gamer reaction time with innovative tech. Here’s how we compare: 

 

 

Our team includes some of the foremost experts in neural interface technologies, and we’re confident that we have the experience to make the Impulse a reality for you. To further ensure our ability to deliver, we’ve harnessed over $350,000 in VC funding and have secured partnerships with a full-stack manufacturing team and hardware development team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before setting our production timeline, we did extensive research and spoke at length with our manufacturing and operations partners. The resulting timeline takes into account our determination to deliver a high-quality product, without the constant delivery extensions that plague many Indiegogo campaigns.
