Pulsar Gaming Gears Achieves Major Success with Six iF Design Awards in 2026

In an impressive display of innovation and design excellence, Pulsar Gaming Gears has won six Product Design awards at the iF Design Award 2026, a prestigious international competition celebrating outstanding design across various industries. The brand, which is part of AplusX.Inc, has established itself as a leader in the global gaming peripherals market.

A Legacy of Design Excellence

The iF Design Award, organized by the iF International Forum Design, boasts a rich history spanning over 70 years, making it one of the most revered design honors worldwide. The awards recognize products that exemplify innovation, quality, and functionality. This year, Pulsar stood out among more than 10,000 entries from 68 countries, winning accolades in the Gaming / VR / AR category, showcasing their commitment to cutting-edge design.

Among the standout products was the Pulsar Link 8K Dongle. Its unique user-centered design eliminates the conventional hassle usually associated with gaming mouse dongles. Instead of requiring users to flip their mouse over and press buttons to make adjustments, the Pulsar Link 8K Dongle features a control button directly on the device. This innovation allows gamers to make key changes like DPI adjustments with a simple click, even in the heat of gameplay.

Award-Winning Gaming Mice

In the gaming mouse category, several Pulsar products gained recognition for their superior engineering and design. The Pulsar Xlite Crazylight, Pulsar Feinmann F01, and Pulsar Lab X2F received accolades for their innovative features and ergonomic designs.

The Crazylight series impresses with an ultra-lightweight design of under 40 grams, achieving a perfect balance between minimal weight and reliable performance. In contrast, the Feinmann F01 is a high-end model with a magnesium alloy structure and precision-perforated shell. Its innovative design incorporates a wireless dongle and charging dock into one unit, enhancing usability while maintaining structural integrity.

Notably, the Pulsar Lab X2F attracted attention with its groundbreaking design aimed at fingertip grip users. Its open-frame architecture boldly removes the traditional rear palm support, which creates a unique aesthetic while optimizing control and agility.

Elevating the Keyboard Experience

In the keyboard category, Pulsar's Xboard QS and eS HE 70 also claimed Product Design awards. The Xboard QS, noted for its multi-device connectivity, can seamlessly switch between two PCs, all while delivering a stable, quiet typing experience thanks to its precision-engineered aluminum body and advanced sound dampening technologies.

Meanwhile, the eS HE 70 introduces an LCD display combined with a tactile control knob within a compact 70% keyboard layout. This thoughtful design facilitates immediate adjustments without the need for additional software, making it particularly useful in esports environments where players often rely on unfamiliar setups during tournaments.

Future Directions

Jake Lee, Head of the Pulsar Design Lab, stated, “Gaming gear is not only about performance and functionality—design is also a key competitive factor. We will continue to innovate and develop products that excel in both performance and aesthetics.”

Pulsar Gaming Gears, founded in 2020, has rapidly ascended to prominence within the esports community. Their dedication to blending lightweight designs with cutting-edge technology stems from a genuine passion for gaming and competitive sports. By continually refining their approach, Pulsar aims to equip gamers with tools that provide a significant advantage during gameplay.
