0nlyCrashesI actually don't think there are too many clones of it. I'm sure you could find an XM1r for around that price at this point. It's wired, but the sensor is still a top sensor and the same is the same.
acegikm02I had double clicking on my lmb on my xm1r but after weeks of troubleshooting it kinda just fixed itself and it's been 2 years now so I'm probably in the clear
Black_N_White23for small-medium sized hands i recommend g102 (or w/e the equivalent in US is called) and xm1r both similar in shape with very good and precise sensor
ddd4175I did have an XM1r but it's a little too long for me, I technically never use my palm for mousing, only my fingers and knuckles are involved, so I want something short but wide.
EfugiNever had any issues with Endgame Gear products, actually gifted my XM1r which I used a ton to nephew over a year ago and it's still running great. I've heard people have had cable issues though but I managed to dodge them and now using wireless OP1w 4k v2, can't give any long term durability of this one but so far it's flawless. And could be easily opened at least (screw are directly accessible without removing skates) if something came up.
Few_Food_8352i 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.
Jorly420In my opinion endgame gear are solid, I had my xm1r from release until now and it’s still rocking solidly, and never had an issue with any of mine, and my nephew has thrown them around…
MimibienvAlright, so, I have a question. Maybe I missed something, idk, but I'm wondering why literally ALL the new good mice are wireless: The deathadder V4 pro just come out, and there's no wired version. The superlight and superlight 2 have no wired version, pulsar mice are almost all wireless, ROG gaming mice are wireless, corsair's only good mouse is wireless, etc... I don't understand why ALL brands have to make wireless mice nowadays, and why people prefer wireless mice so much. Nobody does 360s with their mouse, nobody games 3 meters away from the pc. However, a lot of people think that they're bad at games because their mouse is wired. In addition, new hyperflex wires are unnoticeable (such as the one used on the Pulsefire Haste II) and I'm sure that, if you take someone who hates wired mice, he won't even make the difference between the Deathadder v3 and the v3 pro if he's blindfolded. Wired mice are lighter, cheaper, and more reliable, whereas wireless mice have shorter lifetime due to the [battery](https://www.electrochem.org/why-your-battery-doesnt-last-forever), are more expensive and require more advanced technology to achieve 8Khz. Plus, you have to charge them every week or buy a $100 charging mousepad to keep it charged 24/7. That's otherworldly dumb. And please don't fall for the latency dogma. That's super dumb. Humans' reaction time is around 200ms, so a 0.5ms or 1ms mouse latency will NOT make you worse at gaming, trust me. If you lose fights, that's your fault, not the mouse latency's fault. Like, the only good wired mice I can think of are the [Deathadder V3](https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/yyoauq/deathadder_v3_scroll_wheel_issue_mouse_jumping/), the [Viper 8Khz](https://insider.razer.com/razer-support-45/razer-viper-8k-mouse-wheel-problem-50467), the [Pulsefire Haste II](https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperX/comments/14svxyx/hyper_x_pulsefire_haste_2wired_scroll_wheel_issues/) and the [xm1r](https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/pr4ui5/xm1r_scroll_wheel_bug/). EDIT: As some people pointed out to me, the [op1 8k](https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/1cg0c66/op1we_scroll_wheel_issue/) is also super decent. I'm not saying that wired mice are better, I'm just saying that I prefer them and I think that they're just as good as wireless mice. So uhm, if you know why good brands stopped making wired mice, or even give me your opinion about wireless mice, feel free to lmk !
