A Tribute to Gaming History
To celebrate the finale of Amazon’s critically acclaimed Fallout series and the franchise’s 27-year influence on post-apocalyptic storytelling, gaming hardware specialist GXTrust has unveiled a collector’s edition mouse and pad set. Limited to a single production run worldwide, this functional art piece reimagines Fallout’s iconic Pip-Boy device as desktop peripherals.
The Evolution of an Icon
Since its 1997 debut in the original Fallout game, the Pip-Boy has served as the series’ narrative anchor – a wrist-mounted computer combining practical gameplay functions with immersive worldbuilding. “The device’s genius lies in its diegetic design,” explains gaming historian Dr. Emilia Torres. “Unlike standard menu systems, the Pip-Boy exists within the game’s fiction as a Vault-Tec product, maintaining the retro-futurist aesthetic that defines Fallout’s unique identity.”
The hardware has evolved through multiple models, from the Pip-Boy 2000’s utilitarian design to the 3000 series’ industrial wrist console seen in modern titles like Fallout 4. This design lineage now crosses into reality through GXTrust’s collaboration with award-winning modder Future XP.
Engineering Meets Artistry
The limited-edition set transforms GXT’s high-performance 110 Felox wireless gaming mouse into a Wasteland artifact. Key technical specifications include:
- 10,000 DPI optical sensor for precision wasteland navigation
- RGB lighting with custom Fallout-themed presets
- 50-hour battery life (equivalent to 200 in-game days in Survival Mode)
Future XP spent 400+ hours handcrafting the military-grade aluminum casing and radiation-themed mat surface. “We wanted every rivet and warning label to feel extracted directly from a Vault-Tec warehouse,” the modder revealed in a developer diary.
From Screen to Desk
The set recreates authentic Pip-Boy elements through:
- Working rotary dial mimicking the in-game STATS interface
- Glowing vacuum-tube effect around scroll wheel
- Distressed metal finish with Vault 33-inspired detailing
Bethesda’s marketing director confirmed the company’s involvement in authenticity checks: “We provided original Pip-Boy 3000 blueprints to ensure design accuracy down to the button spacing.”

Collector’s Opportunity
With only 2077 units planned – referencing the Fallout universe’s Great War year – enthusiasts can currently enter official giveaways through Bethesda Spain’s social channels. Industry analysts predict secondary market values could reach $800+ based on previous Fallout collectible trends.
As gaming peripherals increasingly blend functionality with artistic expression, this collaboration demonstrates how dedicated craftsmanship can extend beloved fictional universes into tangible objects. For Fallout fans, it offers a rare chance to own operational Vault-Tec equipment without braving actual radstorms.
