So, our correspondent visited the annual IFA 2026 trade show. This time, we’re taking a look at HATOR and its latest products, including the new HATOR Stellar 2 mice, HATOR Hyperpunk headsets, and HATOR Skyfall keyboards. And, perhaps most importantly to me personally, we’ll also be talking about the new software.

Video report from HATOR IFA 2026
Software
I’ll start with the last one. The manufacturer already had a mobile app called HATOR SyncHUB, designed to manage the gaming headsets in the brand’s current lineup. Then, about a year ago, a PC version with the same name appeared, along with a web version, which was initially used to configure all the keyboards in the Skyfall lineup.
And now this software is becoming an umbrella platform for virtually all of the brand’s new products, including the mice and headsets we’ll be talking about next. I’ve said many times that versatility is the trend these days. And there’s nothing more versatile than a web-based synchronization app. Yes, you need an Internet connection, and the company’s website needs to be up and running. But if you don’t have one or the other, I’d say you have much bigger problems than needing to configure a mouse or headset.
Plus, the web version of the app is available on any compatible device that can recognize a keyboard, mouse, or headset as a system device. In practice, that means it’s available on pretty much anything with a browser. More specifically, the supported operating systems are Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, iOS, and iPadOS. The installable version, however, is currently available only for Windows. Support for macOS and Linux is in the works, and Android is apparently not far behind. These versions are scheduled to launch in Q4.
The important thing is that with the web version, there’s nothing to install, and you don’t have to deal with different software versions for different types of accessories. AI-powered support is also planned down the line, and the groundwork for that is already being laid.

Mice
Moving on. The Stellar 2, Stellar 2 Ultra 4K, and the S variants are just a few of the manufacturer’s new gaming mouse models.
There were also the Pulsar 4 and Quasar 3 Wireless, but in my opinion, the new Stellar models are the most representative of the lineup.
The Stellar 2 weighs around 46 g and supports three connectivity options: Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless at a 2,000 Hz polling rate, and wired connectivity at 1,000 Hz. The sensor is a PixArt PAW3315. The Stellar 2S is 7 mm shorter and 1 g lighter, while all other specifications are essentially the same. The price is €45.
The Stellar 2 Ultra 4K costs €60 and features the flagship PixArt PAW3955 sensor with up to 42,000 DPI. It has a 500 mAh battery, a polling rate of up to 4,000 Hz, and the same three connectivity modes. Both the standard version and the 2S weigh 47 g, but the 2S is shorter: 118 mm versus 125 mm.
I’ll say a few words about the flagship model, because it costs, if I remember correctly, as much as €80 – but it’s not better in every respect. The Quasar 3 Ultima is also available in a standard version and an S variant. It supports a wireless polling rate of up to 8,000 Hz and uses a PAW3950 sensor, although the battery capacity is just 300 mAh. The weight is 52 g, while the length is 125 mm and 118 mm for the standard and S models, respectively.

Headsets
There will be as many as three new HATOR Hyperpunk 3 Wireless headsets. The new models will cost €70 and support Bluetooth 6 in addition to the 2.4 GHz wireless adapter. They’ll pack a 750 mAh battery, while the 40 mm drivers will support a frequency range of 10 Hz to 44 kHz.
The microphones are detachable and omnidirectional. There will also be support for LDAC and THX Spatial Audio, along with software support across both versions. And yes, there’s even noise cancellation!

Keyboards
And finally, the keyboards. The Skyfall 80 TMR ALU and Skyfall 100 TMR will cost €160 and €190, respectively, with 80% and 100% layouts. They use HATOR Aurum Ice 100M switches rated for 50 g of actuation force, with linear magnetic operation and a rated lifespan of 100 million keystrokes. The keycaps are made of PBT, while the keyboards use TMR sensors. Hot-swappable switches are supported, and the polling rate reaches 8,000 Hz both over a wired connection and via the wireless adapter.
In addition to the wireless adapter, there’s also Bluetooth support, although the version is not yet known. What we do know is that the keyboards feature a full-fledged display, a volume control knob, and a 2,500 mAh battery. So, what does the ALU stand for? It refers to the material – aluminum, of course. And yes, there will also be a Skyfall 100 TMR ALU. Its specifications are the same, but it will set you back a full €200.
Conclusion (and HATOR Colors and Mouse Pads)
And finally, a few words about the colors and mouse pads. The latter had been in the works for a while, and now they’ve finally made it into the real world. As for the colors… What can I say? HATOR clearly went all in with Pantone to make them as cool, pleasant, and, in some cases, downright juicy as possible – while others are simply elegant and aesthetic. HATOR’s design has always been top-notch, really. But there’s no ceiling when it comes to perfection, right?
And that’s all from me. Don’t forget to let us know in the comments which HATOR peripherals you’re personally looking forward to. I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on some of those keyboards. Playing with them – and on them – because we’ve been seeing a lot of keyboards around here lately, and there may be even more to come.
