Endgame Gear - OP1 8k v2

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.

If anyone has any advice on how to make it even better or any suggestions do tell but so far it’s feeling great.

Yeah I first saw it in viscose as well, did some digging and compared it to the most used mice in esports Logitech superlight it was superior by every metric so I had to get it, will test it for a couple of days and tell u my thoughts if u want too

10cm wide and 18.5 cm medium to large but since I'm used to the razer deathadder v2 mini it was a perfect fit so far its more then great and i really appreciate you bringing that up. Edit: this thing is so refreshingly light but i need to get used it.

Do you play shooters and need/want high polling? If not then you dont really need to look that deep into specs or polling or battery life, just shape/comfort/build. The OP1 8k is widely considered the best mouse in terms of raw performance, it has replaceable and easily left/right/side buttons making it as close to a "forever mouse" in terms of longevity, its built well and is super durable, and its good for small to medium hands and is a good balance for alternating between between finger and palm usage. Its a very safe pick for most people, I would run it at 4k if your PC isn't super specced out since 8k can be demanding. https://www.pccasegear.com/products/69760/endgame-gear-op1-8k-v2-gaming-mouse-black Most if not nearly all wireless mice will last you a several days to a week+ on 1000hz though.

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

I think OP1 series from Endgamegear could be an answer. Other than that, try Waizowl's Cloud XS. It a Kinzu-like mouse in terms of shape. Have you tried egg-shaped mice as well? Aside from Logitech G304/305 and possibly other variants, Corsair does make mice with the same shape called Katar Elite Wireless.

Go to your nearest Microcenter/best buy and try out mice, your hand size is different than anyone else's, my recommendations are the Coolermaster MM712 which was my main mouse until a week ago, where I switched to an Endgame Gear OP1 8K V2, which is an amazing mouse and is gaining a lot of traction recently, they might not suit you. I have smaller hands and I use a relaxed fingertip grip. You can use a size comparison website to fill in any gaps as far as mice you won't be able to physically try

Best mouse I’ve ever used

Well i didnt go to crazy anyways, I wanted a well known cheapish mouse....grabbed a op1 8k

Ok, under $100 you have a lot of great options. If you aren’t afraid of Chinese clone mice (and you shouldn’t be), you can get literally any shape with an amazing sensor and switch implementation. With that said, My recommendation: Endgame gear. OP1 8k v2 is under 100 and is amazing. It is wired which if that’s a deal breaker, I’d get the OP1w 4k for $80 on amazon right now XM series for larger hands. Hitscan hyperlight is another can’t miss. Pulsar x2 crazy light has gone under $100. I think right now it’s 130. M chose mice are excellent knock offs L7 is basically a pulsar x2 K7 is a viper v3 clone If it were me, I would get an op1 or a viper V3 pro for like $130, or a super light 2c for also I think $130, you’d pay a bit of a premium, but if it’s a gift for your brother, he may not appreciate how cool the lower cost clone brands are and they just want with all the pros are using, and if you buy it off your Amazon and you have how much more no hassle return policy.

The click latency is much faster than any other mouse on the market. It also has the feature that makes the click register when it moves, not when it bottoms, making it even faster. The wired or not wired doesn’t even register as an issue. It’s everything else that makes it so good.

0.068ms vs 0.38 (viper v3 pro) or 0.659 (superlight dex)…pretty much instantaneous. Basically it’s the better part of half a millisecond faster than anything else.

Do you think it matters to push for 240hz/FPS (4.2 ms frame time) vs 500(2ms)? Why are monitors 500hz now? Perceivable or not, a 1/2 millisecond in a game with fast movement and a moving target can be the difference between a shot registering or missing. It IS the best at this particular metric. Doesn’t mean other mice are bad, but in a world where people chase frame time differences of 1 to 2 relative milliseconds, don’t tell me shaving half of that off with a peripheral choice is of zero value.

I also think that’s not the only reason to buy the mouse…the clicks, the coating, the build quality, the price, the shape, all are really really top for the price, and if it’s a shape you like there’s really nothing else like it. The wired is only like 49-50 g, vs 60 on the wireless, which I think makes it a little more desirable. I have them both, I think the wired is better for the weight reduction.

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.
