I 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.

I 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

I 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.

Never 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.

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.

Hello, I want to buy a new mouse. I'm mainly a cs2 player but I also use my computer for other things, thats why I dont like small mouses at all, I feel a bit uncomfortable when I'm not playing. I also have big hands. I have tried with a few mouses but rn im clueless wich one should I buy. I had the asus rog harpe ace aimlab edition wich I enjoyed so much until the battery broke, so I bought the razer viper v3 pro se, but I don't really like the shape. My grip is a relaxed claw grip btw. Im gonna put the list of mouses thay I've tried over the last years: \- HyperX Pulsefire Haste: I actually boughted twice, and got broken twice. I loved the shape and the feeling so I'm about to try the new one but I see the wireless one has a lot of problems also... \- Xtryfy M42: Too small for me, didn't like it. \- Endgame Gear XM1r: Heavy and didn't like the shape. \- G pro x superlight: I bought it just to try it out but it was again small and the shape was really simple. \-Zowie BenQ EC2-C: Every cs player has try it, so I did the same. Palm grip mouse, I liked it but It wasn't what I was looking to. \-Deathadder V3 PRO: I was really surprised and actually I liked it, again is not my natural grip style but it is one of the best shapes that I've tried. \- Asus rog harpe ace aim lab ed: This is the mouse that I've used for the las two years, it fits good on my hand and it is not small at all. \- Razer viper v3 pro se: I thought I would like it but not exactly, I feel its designed more for palm grip or for any grip in general but there is something in the shape that gets in the way when Im doing a recoil. I was looking to buy the atk vxe r1 pro but again, I think its too small for what I'm looking. I would like a mouse with the width of the pulsefire haste or the harpe ace. Also really important, it needs to be in amazon, I don't want to buy from aliexpress or dedicated websites from the brand. Not more than 60g and around 80€. Any recommendations?

In 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

Alright, 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 !
