TL;DR: Lowest latency, hot-swappable, but shape is polarizing for large hands.

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

The Op1 8k v2 is Super Good and while it is wired, it has one of the lowest latencys. Ideally you wanna go by shape so, so go check all the recommended mice on a site like Eloshapes.

Just received my new mouse the Op1 8k v2, went back to wired for this one and it’s amazing you don’t even feel the cable and the build quality is great. For me it’s 100% worth the money, feels like one of those mice you instantly know you’ll main for a long time.

Nope, I just tried and nothing happens no loose or rattling sound on my side hope it helps 😞

they’re basically the same the upgrade is mostly about the feel, durability and small refinements

Yeahh I saw that on endgame gear’s discord, it’s with the 1.24 version of the firmware on the op1 8k first gen, on cs2 there is problems but on the Op1 8k v2 that I got, the firmware is 1.0 and no problem with cs2 and the new realised firmware is the 1.04 for the v2 and everything seems fine on my side

But yeah, I’ve had that happen too with some peripherals in the past, but I literally just got the mouse today, was hyped to share first impressions. The shape honestly feels different enough that it might stick not just another “first day hype” thing

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

OP1 8k [V2] affordable, one of the best performing mice, hot swap switches and replaceable cable, good for small hand claw. mouse bungee if the cables annoying. otherwise maybe ATK store? they've got some good cheap clones of other mice. like the Mad R and Mad R major are pretty good
