OrbitalWorks was founded by a team of engineers passionate about FPS games and peripherals. In 2022, they launched the Pathfinder project with a single goal: to revolutionize the scene with something never seen before - a modular mouse that adapts to the needs of each individual.
The core team consists of 5 people (with support from external collaborators), and over the past 18 months they've worked closely with the community to bring this project to life. They've shown that sometimes customers are more than just customers - they’re friends you can share ideas with and ask for help. Feedback from reviewers and pro players was essential in shaping the mouse’s accessories to deliver the best possible comfort for every enthusiast - More information about this can be found here.

Even the name Orbital reflects the brand’s intentions. As a 🇹🇠company, they aim to explore new horizons in the world of gaming peripherals - a recurring theme in both their brand identity and the Pathfinder project.
The Pathfinder isn’t just a mouse - it’s the result of months of research and development, all driven by one simple idea: “#Shape Is King.”
Creating a modular mouse has always been a goal for big companies. We’ve seen attempts, like swappable side buttons, but no one has ever taken it this far. That’s where the Pathfinder stands out - it’s designed to adapt to any need and playstyle. Its true strength lies in offering a (nearly) fully customizable experience for every situation.
