Introduction

As competitive mobile gaming gains traction, players are increasingly demanding precise control solutions, fueling a consistent market for keyboard and mouse adapters.

We recently tore down the PLEXTONE GS5 Pro gaming dock, a multi-functional device that solves the common dilemma of balancing fast charging, wired headphone usage, and peripheral connectivity.

We recently got our hands on the latest AIMZENIX mobile keyboard and mouse adapter, which upgrades the user experience with dual-mode wireless and wired connectivity.

It packs impressive features beyond basic key remapping and macros, including 60W PD pass-through charging, a high-performance 1000Hz polling rate, and dual headphone support (3.5mm and USB).

Let's dive into our full teardown to explore its internal build and the components powering this device.

Specs are printed on the rear of the box, detailed technical data will be covered in the following product review section.

The top of the box features the AIMZENIX brand logo.

The other side lists the key specs: compatibility with iOS 13.4+, a 1000Hz polling rate, fast charging with pass-through power, and a user-friendly, out-of-the-box setup.

Another side details the immersive gaming features, including support for 3.5mm headsets, 24-bit audio depth, a 96kHz sampling rate, and dedicated EQ presets for FPS games.

Opening the box, the adapter is securely cradled within a custom black blister tray.

Inside the box, you will find the adapter, a paper user manual, and two braided data cables.

Two black nylon-braided cables, featuring high tensile strength and durability against wear.

Included is a dual USB-C cable (USB Type-C to Type-C), featuring the AIMZENIX logo, and extended strain relief for improved durability.

The length of the cable is approximately 102cm.

ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C shows that the cable supports that it doesn't contain an E-Marker chip.

The other cable is a USB-A to USB-C cable.

The length of this cable is approximately 100cm.

The adapter features a bright orange PC housing with an X-shaped armor texture on the surface. It is secured with screws at all four corners, while the center integrates a black indicator and a MENU button.

With its softly rounded edges, it's orange-and-black palette strikes a bold, high-energy gaming look.

Hidden beneath the black panel is an LED indicator, with a dedicated physical MENU button situated underneath.

The side of it is equipped with a versatile array of expansion ports, including two USB-A ports and a 3.5mm audio jack.

The icons on the top panel clearly identify the front ports, intended for your headset, microphone (combo audio), and keyboard/mouse setup.

The left side features an inlaid glossy black panel with the prominent brand logo.

The opposite side of it is equipped with one USB-A port and one USB-C port.

The USB-A port on the rear is intended for keyboard/mouse peripherals, while the USB-C port serves as the data connection for smartphones or tablets.

The top panel features a single USB-C port, designed exclusively for power input.

The base of it features four black anti-slip rubber pads at the corners, while the product info is printed on the bottom left.

Model AX360M

FCC ID：2BB8Y-AX360M.

The length of the adapter is about 76.08mm (2.995 inches).

The width of the adapter is about 76.05mm (2.994 inches).

The thickness of the adapter is about 18.11mm (0.713 inches).

The weight is about 48.4g (1.71 oz).

That's how big it is in the hand.

Once powered on, the central black panel lights up, revealing the AIMZENIX logo in a vibrant green glow.

ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C shows that the USB-C port supports PD3.0 60W fast charging output.

And it also supports four fixed PDOs of 5V3A, 9V3A, 15V3A and 20V3A, and features two PPS subsets: 5-5.9V 3A and 5-11V 2A.

After the design overview, let's move on to the actual product teardown.

Teardown

Removing the four top screws provides access to the interior, showcasing the black PCBA mainboard.

With the top cover removed, we can see the full PCBA module, featuring the AX360M-V2.0 branding and production batch details, such as the date, marked in the top right corner.

Removing the PCBA from the bottom housing, the rear of the mainboard features the MCU, protocol chip, USB Hub chip, and Bluetooth antenna.

The front of the PCBA is relatively minimalist, featuring primarily the central LED indicator array and the tactile micro-switches.

The protocol chip is from INJOINIC, model IP2228, in a QFN24 package. It is a dual-channel PD-integrated USB Type-C controller that supports Type-C, PD2.0/PD3.2, DisplayPort Alternate Mode, QC, and BC1.2.

Key features include dual-port PD packet transparent transmission, support for data/power/fast role swapping, and video signal transmission capability via DP Alt Mode enabled through PD protocol VDM negotiation.

Hardware features of the IP2228 include dual independent NMOS drivers, an LDO (5V/3.3V input), 21V PD support, and over-voltage protection for DP/DM/CC1/CC2 pins, which simplifies external circuits and improves reliability.

It also supports firmware upgrades and offers abundant peripheral interfaces, making it highly suitable for USB Type-C hubs, docking stations, and Type-C to DP/HDMI/VGA adapters as a high-integration, one-stop solution for expansion, A/V transmission, and fast charging.

Two VBUS MOSFETs are from AGMsemi, model GM609AP, 60V and a 7.5mΩ, housed in a PDFN3333 package.

The synchronous step-down chip is from Si-Power, model SP1232FL, housed in an SOP8 package.

A choke, 22uH.

The USB Hub chip is from Terminus, model FE8.1. Which expands a single USB port into multiple USB-A ports, fulfilling the needs for multi-peripheral connectivity.

A 12.000MHz crystal oscillator provides the required clock signal for the USB Hub chip.

An LDO voltage regulator chip, marked 2019-33.

One chip features an unmarked, sanded surface.

A 24.0MHz passive crystal oscillator is placed next to the chip.

A chip, marked 12QW.

Another chip, marked 12QW.

The USB audio chip is from 3S, model SSS1700, which enables high-resolution audio output and EQ preset functionality, housed in an LQFP48 package.

An Bluetooth master MCU, marked GW8951C, which handles peripheral command

conversion and Bluetooth communication.

An EEPROM memory chip, marked ATHYC2004 24C04N, which stores user-configured key/mouse mappings and macro settings.

Another 24.0MHz passive crystal oscillator is placed alongside the chip.

A printed PCB antenna with a serpentine trace is positioned in a clearance area on the PCBA edge to handle Bluetooth wireless data communication.

Four LED indicators at the top center of the PCB display operating status and connection modes, while a surface-mount tact switch below corresponds to the external MENU button.

Well, those are all components of the AIMZENIX Mobile Gaming Keyboard and Mouse Adapter.
