"it's durable ... the parts still work well ... out of all the robo vacs I have owned and used it's the only one I have yet to replace a single part for (dust bin just once)."
"It has truly been a set it and forget it system. ... It just works for everything."
"it just works. ... I don't have glitch issues, connection issues, compatibility issues, or anything else. ... I look at it as I paid for something that just works without that frustration of something that cost less that has quirks."

"the mini would be a perfect fit for me!"
"First of all I love mini mice. ... They just fit better in my hand and tend to be way lighter than their counterparts."
"Shape is one of if not the best for medium / small hand sizes, the hump allows you to comfortably claw grip it while keeping the front more narrow for great use of fingertip adjustments."

"the clicks and quality and inmaculate ... miles ahead of the scyrox v8 Imo."
"the switches are amazing, especially the side buttons which a lot of other mice use softer more mushier switches, whether these are all snappy and built like a tank."
"it has the lowest click latency out of any mouse."

"no latency"
"VXE R1 I also considered the Pro version which has the PAW 3395 and 4k polling rate, it is balanced for the price of what it delivers"

"also you wont notice the wire, its that good"
"And the cable is very lightweight and flexible, it feels more like fabric and you practically don't notice it at all with a good dongle."
"trust me I was just as reluctant to get wired as you were, but the implementation EGG have done with it has made it really well done."

"Side buttons are very stiff"
"it seems to miss clicks even when browsing."
"I prefer the Lavender purples I'm using because they have a... lower actuation force than both the brown and bananas that feels nicer for my... fingers personally"

"as someone on the 502 I miss the 600 and just wish they did a powerplay compatible wireless g600 and get their heads out of their asses"
"not wireless"
"I would probably pay $200 for a wireless g600."

"I bought basilisk v3 but it felt extremely small for me… ... my wrist started to be in pain and today ( used it yesterday, on my way to return it ) I feel like my hand is exhausted… probably because of not possible to rest misddle of my hand…"
"The basilisk feels so narrow and after a while it tends to cramp my hand."
"it's too small"

"probably don't get if you have over 11cm wide hands"
"a little too narrow for me"
"It's also the fact of the weight, imo 50g~ mice and under feel way less exhausting to use than 60g~ mice. ... Because even though I prefer the op1 build quality and shape, it's just a way better experience using something lightweight."
viper v3 is a bit large, also don't pay more than $100 for one. [op1](https://www.endgamegear.com/en-us/gaming-mice/op1-8k) is pretty good(but wired), [hitscan hyperlight](https://hitscan.com/products/hyperlight) is sort of a smaller viper v3, and [zywoo mini](https://www.pulsar.gg/collections/zywoo/products/zywoo-the-chosen-mouse-mini?variant=46697971974398) is the latest and greatest.
i have used the xm1r, op1, and op1 8k v1, all of them are very good build quality wise, looks like you are in bad luck imo.
Ergo: EC1-C. Fits my hand like a glove and is perfect for palm grip. I also love the soft clicks even though it does add a small amount of travel distance. Looking forward to trying the EC1-DW when the glossy coatings release. Symmetrical: OP1 8K v1. The slimmer design allows me to grab the mouse with my ring and pinky finger being straightened out, which is another technique I use to control my mice. It also has a noticeably more responsive click latency compared to my EC1. Polling rate doesn’t matter to me, but it’s nice knowing that it’s future-proof with 8Khz capability and swappable switches without soldering.
Endgame Gear makes and sell the best performing mice on the market. Razer also sells a wired version of the Deathadder V3 giving you 8K polling and 8K click latency across all sensor polling rates. If you're in Europe, you can probably buy some old Zowie wired mice through something like Max Gaming. You can buy them in NA through the same site, but the shipping is gonna be stupidly expensive.
I use both Endgame Gear and Zowie. I can't tell the difference between the sensors at all. I only notice that click latency being a bit faster on my OP1 8K, but that's mainly because it's a smaller mouse with less travel distance. I do think Endgame Gear is the better choice still as it gives you options like switching mouse click switches without any sodering needed while having mouse feet with holes so you can access the screws without taking the feet off. That's on top of having the best measured performance, 8K polling, and consistent 8K click latency regardless of sensor polling rate.
hopefully the missclick problem is solved. My op1 8k v1 sometimes doesnt click, nothing happens...
Still Op18k, got large hands. But Mouse being on the smaller side isn't a problem. Tried other mice in between (gaming gear addiction). I just perform better and more consistently with it. My grip style is adaptable (I can use every style I've tried).
Software is minimal, shape is good, not sure about Wireless but clicks are always at 8k, EGG switches and tech - Which makes the click happen before you can hear the click sound.
you seem to be a few years late. there are now the xm2 8k, and the op1 8k, and op1 8k v2(which i would consider as the best mouse) the thing about a cable is that many people are bothered by them, and on ultra light weight mice(<30g) you can tell that the cable is there. and for low sens players, it also bothers them as you can feel the cable move during fast flicks. source. i used to use really low sens(55cm/360) and i removed the battery from my vxe r1 se as it was shit. and the cable is super flexible, and it didnt bother me, but during fast flicks, it would. now that i use a moderate sens(32-37cm/360) it doesnt bother me at all. and why use a wired mouse, when wireless mice can now weigh 35g and have decent battery life with minimal input latency
op18k, if its too small return and get xm28k
Well i didnt go to crazy anyways, I wanted a well known cheapish mouse....grabbed a op1 8k
It is crazy to me the cult like following this mouse continues to have, and I maimed this mouse for like 3 years from 2017-2020. The extra buttons are cool, but man there are so many better mice out there, that are so much lighter. If you want a wired mouse try the op18k it’s the best fps mouse in existence, probably. Lots of ergo mice out there, from death adder to zywoo to superlight to vaxee If you’re stuck on this shape you might try the basilisk But really you’ll just probably be happiest with another 502.
Nice, that's a good pick. Practical and really well-reviewed, best way to go.
