Darmoshark - M3S Pro

I am using darmoshark m3s pro for nearly one year with grip tapes. It is pretty good in my opinion for that price

I was using darmoshark m3s pro for 2 years ı thougt that it is a good mouse until jump to Endgame Op1 8k V2. There is so much input consistency difference for especially tracking and recoil control. My suggestion is to look for techpowerup reviews to find a mouse that has consistent input report for your budget

Yup I can second this. Had my first R1 Pro and decided to get the Mad R. Both impeccable in terms of QC. And their mouse software ATK HUB is pretty much updated every other one or two weeks. The other budget mouse I use on a daily basis is the Darmoshark M3s Pro and I actually love that the most because of the Zowie S2ish shape. Recently they updated their dongles and mice to 8k. Pretty surprised these China brands also add value with time. Unlike Pulsar that needs a new mouse and dongle to do 8K. Not like 8K matters but I'm impressed that they even bothered doing it.

Sitting with my Darmoshark M3s

I have a more updated list here: * Incott Ghero Pro: Solid Mouse that feels like a GPX Ergo (or NP-01 Clone) and is extremely solidly build while staying price wise at 50$ * VGN Dragonfly F1: Solid orignial shape with a larger rear hump on the end that curves more inwards before coming out at the front, very safe shape at 46$ * ATK Blazing Sky F1: Shaped akin to a Sora V2 it's got a much larger rear hump with substantial curves as it comes into the front while going thinner towards it with lowered clicks. Is 38g and has a 3950 sensor but is usually a full 70$ * Darmoshark M3S: Solid Viper styled shape with those same bell curves, usually around 40$ * Zaopin Z2: Solid ergo light with a much smaller ergo feel yet still has a nice rounded bump and curve to it for the ergo feel at 50$ * Endgame Gear OP1 Wired: This is what a lot of mice are based on as EGG has some of the better mice on market in terms of quality and built and software. It's one of the best mice you can buy. It is wired but if you don't care about 4k or 8k it's perfectly fine at 45$ * VXE R1: Nearly identical to the Pulsar X2V2 it's got a super solid feel and the pro model has a better coating and overall well implemented sensor. Considered the king of the budgets it's 50$ for the Pro and as low as 20$ for not pro. * VXE Mad R: Identical to the mouse above in shape its another X2V2 clone perfect at 38g great for all grip styles, the Major verision has a 3950 sensor and is 45$ for normal, 63$ for Major, if you can grab this over the normal R1. * Incott HPC02M: is a X2 clone with supersolid build quality and the ability to swap the switches with ease. 55$ * PureTrak Valor: Clone of the GPX but with 3395 and USB-C that usually sells for sub 50$ * Incott G23: GPX clone with hotswappable switches at 50$ * Phlyina S450: HTS+ Clone with solid build quality and a really good mouse. They are working on a 38g version and have a 4k version around 40-50$ * Scyrox V8: Sora V2 clone at 38g with a 3950 built for claw, can be found for 70$ * Attack Shark R6: Another Sora V2 Clone with a 3950 built for claw, can be found for 50$. * ATK Blazing Sky X1: Viper V3 clone with 3950 and solid build quality right at the 70$ price range. * Incott G24: Zowie EC2 Clone that's hotswap and solid weight can be found for 70$ * Mchose L7: 38g with a shape somewhere between the Lamzu Atlantis and X2V2. It has flatter sides but still a larger rear curve to lock in slightly better than something like the Mad R while still feeling very premium. Basic model has 3395 for 45$ and pro is closer to 60$ for 3950. * Lethal LA-1: Basically a larger OP1. Same kind of curves but a larger overall feel, due to having some very small issues with the batch and to compete with budget mice it can now be found for 30$. * Razer Viper V3 Hyperspeed: While a bit heavier than most at 83g and using a AA battery, It still boasts a solid sensor and performance with a shape that people adore for 70$ * Scyrox V8 and V6: solid Sora clone and HTS+ clone both at around 40g with full 8k and solid internals. Very good overall and some of the best budget out there. 70$

off topic, but would you describe your m3s as having heavy clicks? i don't know if this is a unit-by-unit kind of issue, but mine has usable, but heavier clicks. like twice as heavy (compared to my friend's corsair harpoon, at least)

Darmoshark M3, Very nice shape. My M3S got some connection issue after 2/3 months use, it's skipping few left/right fast movement. Is your one working in top condition ? u/Nervous-Post4438

No Damoshark M3 Pro? It's a good mouse. Cheap too.

Also the pro line by darmoshark was way less plagued with click issues like the 'regular' darmoshark mice were, if that helps

 What are your hand measurements. And as someone with large hands(21x11cm) switch to fingertip. Palm grip sucks, though you will need to buy a new mouse. You can’t fingertip a g502, I would recommend, as a budget starting option, darmoshark m3 and if you are comfortable. The m3 micro(it’s a really small mouse) but to your hands it’ll act like what a fingertip mouse is to a regular person. If you want to compare the shapes just use eloshapes

forget about aftersales service but the darmoshark m3 is a solid mouse for that price

dont have experience with that one but i would just save the extra little bit and get the m3 instead, looks to be better

pretty similar situation to mine, in fact, I had the same mouse. Ended up getting a Darmoshark M3 and am pretty happy with it, but you could prefer the N3 to rest the pinky

the companies you listed pretty much have no issues. but im gonna rank them based on personal preference. 1. VXE/VGN (got the R1, but it creaks when i squeeze it, not a deal breaker) 2. Mchose (havent used any but they have really interesting shapes) 3. Zaopin (only have the z2 and its a solid performer overall) 4. Darmoshark (got the m3 but the build quality felt cheap) for context i also have a pulsar x2 superclear and a lamzu thorn that are priced way above the ones above and they have more issues than the other chinese mice combined.

I have a 2 year old Darmoshark m3 that I have dropped, slammed into shit during panic flicks, tossed in my bag, etc more times than I can count. I have probably cleaned the thing twice in my entire time I've owned it, and it looks pretty much factory new. The only issue was the encoder got a tad screwy a few months back, so I blew it out with compressed air and have had zero issues since. It's incredible what clean hands and not gripping the thing like your life depends on it can do for a mouse's life.

I would recommend a darmoshark m3. It’s on the bigger side so it’ll be easier to palm grip. It has all 3-modes and it’s pretty cheap.

How much is the Darmoshark M3 where you are? It's a big mouse and more of a viper shape but it's not a crazy difference to the FK1. I have 22x12 hands and the biggest issue is that 99% of mice are made for guys with average hands I tried the Darmoshark and even though it's cheap I thought it was a solid mouse, the only reason I'm not currently using it is because I like ergo shapes otherwise I'd still probably use it

My hands are slightly smaller than yours and the G502 feels like a toy to me so ignore these suggestions, it's marginally bigger than the basilisk but for big hands it's basically identical. In reality they don't make mice for us, none of them will fill our palm so I tend to pick mice with a decently wide footprint to get a decent grip on with my fingers, the mice that have been decent to achieve this for me are: Darmoshark M3, Teevolution Terra, Zowie EC1-CW (EC1-DW is the newest version), pulsar Xlite V3 Large (V4 is the newest version). None of these will your palm because they don't fill mine but they're wider and more substantial than the G502/basilisk shape which is narrow and awkward.

My hands are 22x12 and it's virtually impossible for me to find a mouse long enough, I've tried a lot of suggestions and I don't think people really grasp how big that hand in the picture is so they post mice that are big to them. I prefer big mice meant for palm grip because at least I can claw or fingertip them but they don't make mice that are long enough unfortunately. The stand out mice for me are Teevolution Terra, zowie EC1-DW and Darmoshark M3 but I'm claw/fingertip with all of them, they just happen to be chunky enough to get hold of

Darmoshark M3 is a big mouse and it's exactly 65g, he could lower dpi or sensitivity a bit to account for the weight, it's got great reviews and in terms of shape it's basically a viper shape for large hands

Yea oddly enough I had a Darmoshark M3 It was good but the coating was garbage and the scroll went faulty

iirc darmoshark M3 is comically big for most people and is a pretty damn good mouse for its low price, maybe take a look at it.

Mouse : darmoshark m3 BUT i am getting SOON a GPX (I am getting it on Wednesday MousePad : Fnatic Jet Keyboard : Razer huntsman mini v3

Darmoshark M3's versions are probably the largest low profile mice

Thats true , quality isn't very good on them

The mouse that fits u the beat. I have darmoshark m3 and it PERFECTLY fits my needs. I will not consider buying x3 priced mouse just to pay for batteries.

Darmoshark m3. I use it at 32k dpi. Paid for the whole mouse gonna use the whole mouse

I recently bought the darmoshark and love it, reminds me of the op1 8k grip wise. just cut in half.

HSK plus is better. G wolves for sure has better build quality than Darmoshark and sensor implementation. I have multiple mice from both brands.

VXE/VGN is extremely solid in terms of build quality but is priced the highest among the ones you listed Mchose has good build quality but some QoL issues, all minor things but not on the same standard as VGN Darmoshark performs well and is priced super well but falls short in terms of build quality. Is that a big deal on a 30€ mouse? In my opinion, no. It just feels cheap but will perform just as well as anything else I have never owned any Zaopin mouse, they're usually well reviewed though
