Hi, I've noticed that new high end gaming mice are being made out of different materials these days including Aluminium and Carbon Fiber. Given that companies have been more willing to experiment with this sort of thing, I was wondering if people knew whether there were any mice out there made from materials that would be suitable for high-temperature applications e.g. inconel or ceramics? I'd preferably like something that could be used up to 700°C.

idk about 700°C but you can 3D print PEEK fairly inexpensively these days which is good for a couple hundred °C

Zesty is studying the volcanic ash at Mount Doom and needs a mouse in case he accidentally drops it.

magnesium alloys can handle 600-650C so if ur willing to lower ur temps a little, most of the higher end ultralight mice will probably work for u

Is that just melting temperature? I'd expect some sort of softening or ductile behavior, or even some kind of thermal shock long before that, which would be less than ideal.

i think if u flick rly hard the air movement will keep the mouse cooler

dont they have like non megnesium components in them as well

I doubt there is something suitable for your needs on the market as of right now, but it does seem like a good business idea. I don't know how you came up with 700°C exactly but i'd most certainly recommend high temperature steels, with the exact type being decided based on the exact temperature.
Steel is really good because the load needed to use a mouse is literatly nothing for steels made for engeering. Meaning that while at first glance, a mouse from another material would seem lighter, the much better mechanical properties of steel would allow you to use MUCH less material, therefore resulting in a mouse that is lighter than than the alternatives (or at least i believe so with no current calculations been done)
It's also worth noting that a vast majority of mechanical constructions are designed with the goal of never reaching plastic (permanent) deformation, so using materials and principles of this field will surely yield great results.
In regards to your aforementioned ceramics, while i am pretty much not familiar with ceramic at all, as far i know higher temperatures harden ceramic products. This makes it seem like it would be good for such use but hardness usually brings brittleness and makes it very easy to crack. In the context of a mouse this might mean that lifting up your mouse and putting it back down could crack it very easily, especially if you are using a mousepad suitable for high temperature use

ZestyIs that just melting temperature? I'd expect some sort of softening or ductile behavior, or even some kind of thermal shock long before that, which would be less than ideal.
Sadly that's just going to be the case, these companies love marketing up to 750 C even though there's a noticeable drop in accuracy as cool at 550 C in some cases, but because it's not literally liquid in your hands it's fine to them
When I was living in the upper mantle I tried like 5 brands but ended up having to give up tf2 entirely and could only play turn based games like slay the spire
