Introducing Controller Grip KBM

Introducing Controller Grip KBM

Built for Forever players

Fits any keyboard

The Mimic is built on a weighted zinc alloy base, so it rests solidly on your desk without budging.

Want it locked on? Optional connectors clip the Mimic right onto your keyboard. They're shipping now for the Wooting 60HE, 60HE v2 and Wooting Two HE, with preorders open for the SteelSeries Apex Pro and Razer Huntsman V3 series.

Plug and play

No drivers or software to install. Plug it in, adjust it until you have tip grip, and log in. WoW Forever recognizes the Mimic as a controller.

Free up W, A, S and D

With movement on your thumb, W, A, S and D become four free keybinds right under your fingers. Put the spells and abilities you reach for most where you can hit them without ever looking down.

Chat on the run

WoW is a social game, and the Mimic's palm rest was designed for typing too. Your hand rests on it the same way whether you're steering your character or typing in guild chat, so you can keep moving with your thumb, answer a whisper and never reposition your hand.

Perfect fit or return it

Movement in WoW lives in small adjustments: strafing out of a cleave, stepping back from a fire patch, staying in range of your healer. The Mimic hovers wherever your thumb wants it, so the tip of your thumb sits right on the stick for full control over every step. Here's why thumb position matters. Get tip grip or return it within 30 days for a full refund.

Drift-free by design

GuliKit hall-effect thumbsticks use contactless sensors to deliver long-term precision without stick drift. The thumbcaps are interchangeable and include Corepad PXP grip material, letting you fine-tune feel and traction to your preference.

faqs

Does the Mimic work with WoW Forever?

Yes. WoW Forever has full gamepad support and sees the Mimic as an Xbox controller, so your character's movement goes straight to the stick while your mouse handles the camera.

Do I need to change my binds for WoW?

Only if you want to. Your existing binds stay exactly where they are, and W, A, S and D become free keys you can bind to whatever you reach for most.

What comes with every Mimic?
  • A patented, adjustable neck in solid zinc alloy that locks in exactly where your thumb gets tip grip.
  • A custom Modke spacebar with an indent on the left side that the Mimic sits right into.
  • A patented Modke Windows key and connector for supported Wooting, SteelSeries and Razer keyboards, so the Mimic locks on. On any other keyboard, it rests securely on your desk with no connector needed.
  • A GuliKit Hall Effect thumbstick with interchangeable thumbcaps.
  • A free web utility to fine-tune calibration, strafe angles, sensitivity curves and more.
  • A lifetime reWASD Basic license for games that don’t support a controller stick natively.
  • Our tip grip guarantee. Get it or we’ll pay for return shipping.
  • A lifetime warranty. If your Mimic fails from normal use, we replace it for as long as you own it.
Which keyboards does the Mimic work with?

The Mimic works with any keyboard. On supported keyboards, it locks on with a patented, model-specific connector.

Shipping now:

Available for preorder:

  • SteelSeries: Apex Pro TKL, Apex Pro Mini, Apex 9 TKL, Apex 9 Mini
  • Razer: Huntsman V3 Pro, Huntsman V3 Pro TenKeyLess, Huntsman V3 Pro Mini

If you order for a SteelSeries or Razer keyboard, your Mimic ships right away with the Wooting connector and your SteelSeries or Razer connector follows free as soon as it's ready. There's no need to wait, because the Mimic is fully usable without one.

Is the Mimic comfortable for long gaming sessions?

Comfort is the reason the Mimic exists. It’s built to feel like gripping a controller right over your keyboard, and it adapts to your hand in a way no other gaming peripheral can:

  • A palm rest built around your hypothenar eminence, the meaty outer edge of your hand that you naturally rest on when you write, draw or hold a controller. It anchors your hand there and keeps pressure off the center of your wrist (where the carpal tunnel is).
  • Sculpted through rounds of prototypes and hands-on testing, so large and small hands rest naturally.
  • An adjustable neck that keeps the tip of your thumb on the stick 100% of the time, in constant, relaxed IP flexion (gently bent) instead of stretched and locked.
  • Mirrored to your mouse hand, so both hands sit in the same natural, balanced position.

‍

Will the Mimic slide around during play?

No. On a supported Wooting, Razer or SteelSeries keyboard, the Mimic locks into our patented connector. It holds steady through fast flicks and intense fights, with no wobble, no drift and no adjusting mid-game. You set it once for tip grip and it stays there.

On any other keyboard, the Mimic is weighted and designed to rest on your desk, and your hand keeps it locked in place between the desk, your keyboard and your palm.

What is tip grip, and why does it matter?

Tip grip means the stick stays right under your fingerprint, even when you push it all the way forward, so your thumb tip stays in control 100% of the time, no matter what direction you’re moving.

It matters because when your controller can’t do that, it feels off, and you lose consistency and control.

If you play on a joystick or keypad, try this: push your stick all the way forward and watch your thumb.

On most keypads and under-the-keyboard mods, your thumb straightens out and your fingertip comes off the cap, so you end up pushing the stick with the pad just below your fingerprint. That’s heel grip. You may have noticed it never felt quite right, but you’ve learned to live with it over the years. It’s costing you precision and consistency, like a golfer playing with poorly fitted clubs.

The Mimic keeps your thumb bent with the tip centered on the stick. That’s how joysticks were designed to be used, and it comes down to our two rules of thumb:

  1. A bent thumb reacts faster. It stays primed like a spring, ready to move in any direction instead of pulling back from a locked position.
  2. Control comes from the tip. Your fingertip has the finest motor control in your hand, so small, quick adjustments feel effortless and consistent.

Every hand is different, so the Mimic adjusts until it fits yours. Think of it as finally getting your clubs fitted.

Does the Mimic require software or drivers?

No. The Mimic is a standard XInput device and works immediately when you plug it in. There are no proprietary drivers, required software, or background services.

An optional Web Utility is available through our Discord if you want to adjust settings such as forward direction, calibration, strafe angles, dead zones, or sensitivity curves.

Will the Mimic be available in my country?

We are shipping to the United States and Canada only right now with plans to ship internationally very soon. Hit us up on discord if you need special shipping overseas.
