Gaming merchandise has steadily carved out a premium market in recent years. With a lot of gamers able to use their disposable income on the hobby, there is room for some extravagant purchases to be made. For example, thetop-end collector’s edition forResident Evil Village, featuring a replica of Chris Redfield’s coat, comes in at $1,800 USD, which is a price tag that seems high even for a game that is generating a lot of positive buzz. However, something like this pales in comparison to a mouse thatTwitchstreamer Jaryd “Summit1g” Lazar recently received.

The popular streamer showed off a diamond-encrusted mouse that appears to be a one-of-a-kind variant of Finalmouse’s Starlight-12 God series mice. As Summit1g gave his Twitch viewers a look at the blinged-out mouse, his chat let him know the device is likely valued around $100,000 USD, making it more of an art object than a practical, everyday mouse. Summit1g said he would “lock it up in a safe every night,” but as far as excessive gaming swag goes, this is right up there witha solid gold PS5.
When most gamers need only spend around $60 to pick up aquality mouse like the Corsair Sabre RGB Pro, or any of the dozens of affordable options out there, a six-figure mouse is outlandish. Meant to drum up hype for an upcoming product, put on display and likely never used, Summit1g’s mouse will likely secure a prominent spot on camera for all to see during his upcoming streams.
While the entire point of the diamond mouse is to be excessive, there is still a strong luxury gaming segment where goods almost as wild as a $100K mouse exist. From gaming chairs retailing well over $1,000, toouterwear inspired byDeath Strandinggoing for nearly $2,000, there is clearly a market for high-end stuff. Summit1g might not frag out with his new diamond mouse, but he will most likely put it on display with pride for all onTwitchto see.
