I currently have the op1 8k v1. What are the differences between the two? I wouldn't mind a dark frost color.

Hard to know what you will play better with. I have some mice like Pulsar Xlite Mini that is so damn comfy, but I can't make micro adjustments like I can with OP1 8k v1 which makes me better with it

Was supposed to get the v2 a month ago as well, but when I went to the store they had a last stock v1(obviously they won't be restocking it) for $60 and it was just too good to pass on. Bought and never regretted it.

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.

op1 8k is going to last a lot longer than atk though

you probably can get something like op1 8k v1 for around $70, which would last for a really long time and has top of the line specs or you could try getting something like R1 Pro / pro max, not sure how much it costs though

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.

What exactly did you do to find a 22ms difference? I did 50 trials each on an OP1 8k v2 and an X2 Superstrike and found a 3ms improvement.

Using [https://rafael182493.github.io/reaction/](https://rafael182493.github.io/reaction/), I'm getting a median of 126 on OP1 8k v2 and 123 on Pro X2 Superstrike. However, I only did 50 trials per mouse (interleaved), so it is unclear if the Superstrike is really faster here and a difference of 3 ms is certainly not huge for most people. It does feel rly nice tho

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.

Op1 8K or the wireless 4K edition with brown silent switches sold in a separate pack is the only thing I can come up with. You can barely hear it and it feels like a brown mechanical switch you'd use on a keyboard.
