The gaming peripherals brand specializing in FPS gamers, established by AndGAMER Co., Ltd., has decided to begin a joint research project with Chukyo University. A product that applies the joint research is scheduled to be announced in late 2026.
AIM1 and Chukyo University to Begin Joint Research Project
AndGAMER Co., Ltd. established AIM1, a gaming peripherals brand specializing in FPS gamers. To incorporate an academic approach into mouse development for AIM1, the company has decided to begin a joint research project with Chukyo University. A product that applies the joint research is scheduled to be announced by AIM1 in late 2026.
About AIM1, a Japanese Gaming Brand
AIM1 is a gaming peripherals brand with the motto "Aim, is all." It targets all FPS gamers who seek aiming ability, accuracy, and precision. It aims to support the improvement of every FPS gamer's aim by providing products that give them an advantage in gameplay.
Background and Content of the Research
In recent years, as e-sports gains attention, interest in the factors that influence a gamer's performance has grown. However, research based on scientific data regarding the impact of gaming devices on a player's performance is still insufficient. To supplement this lack of data, an academic approach will be introduced into gaming mouse development in this research. This joint research was made possible through matching support from the Toyota Innovation Center.
The research content will utilize the expertise of Professor Yoshito Mekada of the Chukyo University School of Engineering to analyze the relationship between gaming performance and mouse characteristics. The research results will be applied to the development of new AIM1 products.
Comment from Tsubasa Kammori, CEO of AndGAMER Co., Ltd.
