Endgame Gear - OP1 8k

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).

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

Nice, that's a good pick. Practical and really well-reviewed, best way to go.

These are literally the mice I’ve been looking into, coming from the OP1 and UltralightX Small.

I have similar sized hands, and used to play with an op18k. I could fingertip that mouse pretty reasonably, but still sometimes the shell would stop me from getting benefit out of finger actuation. So I made a zero mouse copy for it, it's on my profile if you're interested. Not 100% sure if it fits the same PCB. Other than that I've had a lot of luck with the razor orochi series, and recent offerings from final mouse.

Same hand size, used the op18k, BeastX, Lamzu Thorn and Scyrox V8. Out of all of them the Scyrox V8 feels the most comfortable. But my grip tends to be palm / relaxed claw so your experience may vary.

How would you not prefer wireless with amazing click latency? I tries the op1 8K and still hate cables lol.

I agree for keyboards and headphones but wired vs wireless mice latency is negligible in 2025. I have the fastest latency mouse, the op18k, and can't differentiate it from any of my wireless mice (ulx, crazylight, f1 extreme, etc.). Even polling rate is sort of irrelevant past 2k.

I'm a small woman so my hands are 16x8.5...I mained the x2 mini v1 for a while but I swapped off after experimenting with more mice and settled for a bit with the op18k because of its shape. I got the crazylight to see if I preferred it over the op18k, and while I prefer the op18k's shape, it's just kinda heavy for its size (even with a glass mousepad) and it has a wire (even though I use a bungee). I know 51g is really light to most people, but I've been using mice like the ULX which is 31g. I still swap between op18k and crazylight 50/50. I aggro claw and fingertip for microadjustments. The only thing I don't like about it is its width and the clicks on the op18k are tighter, less hollow, and more snappy. Some people think the pulsar x2 sides are too flat which makes it feel like you're holding a block, but I guess I'm weird and prefer that for my play style. As for the HE boards, it depends on how long you want to wait. There's not much known about wooting's 60he v2 other than their video and what was seen at Computex. I can't really comment on that but I don't think you'd regret getting a made68 pro now. It's a good board and quite frankly I don't have high hopes for wooting. But hey, some Computex attendees have said it's really good.
