Endgame Gear - XM1

>Anyways, because of this I've ended up with more, got a much better understanding of what I do properly actually want instead of just randomly searching for mice and am actually, probably, for real this time, nearing my end game. At this point, what is it that is holding any of these mice back from being endgame? Is there a target spec you are looking for? I imagine you have the shape preference already locked in. I went down a similar rabbit hole after getting my first "enthusiast" mouse (the original XM1) back in 2020. Almost ironically, after trying a number of shapes, specs, technologies, etc., I am for the foreseeable future on the XM2 8K. I know specs are still improving, but I feel like for the past year or maybe two, we have been in diminishing returns territory.

The gpx isn’t a good mouse for the price at all. Go for the end game gear xm1 or xm2. They are pretty wide and the side curvature is pretty good for 1-3-1. It’s a little cheaper than the gpx and on Black Friday it’ll be even cheaper

I've been really impressed with my Endgame Gear XM1

OP1, XM1. There are rgb versions with a tad more weight if you want that at all, but since you're casually gaming then the base model is fine and you won't need 8k polling.

two different mice. look at the comma. [Op1](https://www.endgamegear.com/en-us/op1-series) [Xm1](https://www.endgamegear.com/en-us/xm1-series)

it's not much smaller than your current mouse. XM1 will be larger if you're concerned about size

Honestly, I started with a Viper Mini and MP510 I’ve not become better while having all these new peripherals 20+ mice and mousepads. Of course I’m better than 5 years ago lol, but aim training and just playing the games I like has helped much more than peripheral changes. I went from a Viper Mini 5 years ago to a Hitscan Hyperlight (similar shape) basically went full circle lol. Even tried the XM1 that you have but it was too large for my hand, but it felt very premium to me at the time.

Any XM1 variant they're all the same, ZA13, which I use now and is my main, I aggressive knuckle claw with about the same hand size and I have very much enjoyed using both mice, anything with a rear hump and thin grip width has been very preferable for me.

Good luck bro you will now get tons of mice recommended that are actually smaller than the one you are using. A lot of people barely read what you are searching. I’m currently trying the same thing. What you can try is a mouse with the Razer Viper V3 Shape or the Superlight 2 Shape. I went from a EGG XM1 to a Superlight 2 but imo it’s still somewhat too small. I’m gonna try a Viper V3 Pro next to see if that’s any better. Sadly there are not many competitive mice for bigger hands. DeathAdder V4 shape might also be an option you could look into.

Same grip and \~same hand size, started gaming long time ago with the first G502.. then when Logitech made G PRO (G305) shape.. I got the Prodigy one, G203 and used that for a long time. Looking for a lighter replacement I tried: \- XM1 (good shape, great coating, but slightly large, back hump too big, definitely worth trying) \- OP1 (way to narrow, not for me) \- All the Zowies, ended up using for a short time EC-3 (issue: no micro adjustments), ZA-13 (back hump too high) \- GPX 2.. not bad but for some reason can't find a good grip... also, slippery, sold. I'll try the smaller 2 C \- G303 SE, great if it wasn't so big (still use it regularly at work) but G305 has better shape. \- MZ1 awesome.. just unreliable and a liiiiitle bit too small. \- Viper Mini = No! \- G403 that hump's huge. Now trying Mchose L7 Ultra and G3 Ultra... You (me also) want a mouse small enough that let you do micro adjustments with your fingers, it also must have some support where that small palm part touch it. G305 is great at this because you can freely move the mouse, that slightly tilted sides let fingers grab it easily, and when you press it against your palm you have enough support. If I have to pick a mouse right now for the next years, shapewise G305.. Can't understand why Logitech have not yet released a superlight version and is milking with no end the GPX shape.. Think about not buying a mouse because a pro use it but buy it if it suits you, that's what counts.

Get the black non frosted edition. Frost edition coating wears off or leaves oil marks after a while

I have 21cm length hands, XM1 is too thick, OP1 is fine to fingertip. I have both and many other fingertip mice.
