https://www.techpowerup.com/review/endgame-gear-op1-8k/ Endgame Gear OP1 8K, XM2 8K, OP1 8K V2, and XM2 8K V2. Better latency than Logitech and on par with wired Razer. GX Speed mode and the ability to turn off motionsync make it faster than the Deathadder V3 or Viper 8K.

The best for its release. It won’t have the battery life as the newer mice, but it won’t lose in click latency.
If we don't include the shape/size imo that would be the Op1 8k v2 and the XM2 8k v2. Lowest click latency on the market, price is ok, coating one of the best.
You can buy him the XM2 8k v2 or op1 8k v2 they're both wired and it fits your budget and lastly high quality too, steelseries is ok but they haven't made a good mouse they fall behind
Op18k v2 / XM2 8k v2 are the best wired mice you can buy Deathadder V3 - large ergo also has good specs Pulsefire haste 2 wired - low profile shape medium size symmetrical mouse
Endgame gear op1 8k v2/XM2 8k v2 Zowie c series have 4 different shapes and multiple sizes I've been using the ec3-c since 2022 and still strong till this day
I know the Logitech superstrike is the equivalent of wooting keyboard because it has an adjustable actuation and also the sound, second would be the op18k v2 and XM2 8k v2 these mice are great low latency and if you set the clicks to gx speed mode you have a low click latency mouse
Op18k or xm2 8k
Different shapes and different sizes they're both good. If you have small hands get the op18k if you have medium size hands get the XM2 8k.
Redragon m996 probably the cheapest wired mouse that has 8k Op18k v2/XM2 8k v2 - Best 8k wired mice. Pulsefire haste 2 wired - medium size symmetrical the shape is similar to vaxee xe/fk. Deathadder v3 wired - large ergo. M3K 💀
I was using a Razer Ouroboros from 2014 until 3 weeks ago I used a Pulsar x2 Crazy Light 8K mouse & my hands hurt after about an hour of gaming. I found a XM2v2 8K was the right fit for me, but I play different grip styles for different games. Still use a G502 for my work computer though
Hey r/MouseReview, Looking for a true right-handed ergonomic FPS mouse (no symmetrical or ambidextrous shape at all). Hard requirements: * Weight under 60g * Excellent wired cable (wireless is optional) * Up to 8000 Hz polling * Sensor acceleration >50G + tracking >500 IPS * Click latency ≤1 ms + sensor latency ≤1 ms * Virgin PTFE feet I’ve been daily-driving a DeathAdder V2 since 2020 and love the large ergonomic shape. My hands are 18 cm length × 10.5 cm width — the large DA fits me perfectly. I mainly play Battlefield: lots of range acquisition adjustments, micro-adjustments for recoil control, and fast reaction flicks, not as much tracking as hero-shooters and the like. Recently tried the Endgame Gear XM2 8k v2. It blew me away on performance: * The Kailh GX Speed switches and sensor both are noticably faster, I switched back to the Dav2 and the gap in click **and** sensor speed is absolutely noticeable to me despite what people may claim. (this must be about a 3-5ms difference if TPU is accurate) * The lighter weight makes it a lot easier to handle and perform microadjustments. However: * The shape is ambidextrous and just feels uncomfortable to me after the DA. * Main clicks rattle on lift-off, and the dark-frost coating gave me weird painful sensations (grippy when sweaty but irritating). Had to return it. Now I am considering a safer choice in the latest iteration of the DeathAdder with the v4. The tests indicate it performs just as well and the XM2 (probably except the switches which don't benefit from SPDT). As for a mousepad, I have tried the following: * Endgame Gear EM-C (control pad): Loved its smooth weave, and the claims of low static friction are certainly true, I could easily move the mouse in short distance jerks. However it was noticeably slow to move the XM2 on it and I could feel fatigued after an hour of play due to its high dynamic friction. * Endgame Gear EM-B (balance pad): The weave is ok but not as nice as the EM-C, still just as soft thanks to the same poron base. I think it alleviates my problem with speed on the EM-C but I am not certain yet. * SteelSeries QcK Performance Speed (speed pad): instant return, too difficult to do micro-adjustments on it, the surface is too rough and irritating, and the off-gassing of the neoprene base (?) gave me migraines (probably harmful to even breath it) Questions: 1. What are the best alternatives to the DeathAdder V4 Pro that match or beat its specs/performance? Budget is no issue. 2. What is a good mousepad to complement it for my use case?
EGG XM2w 4k or XM2 8k are s-tier. They feel so fricking good to play with.
Viper v3 pro would probably be fine, but it's definitely big. You might be more comfortable on a lamzu Maya, egg Xm2 or op1, or hitscan hyper light. People rave about zowie as well, I just don't know them well enough to recommend a specific model. People also love Scyrox, except some people complain that they do not implement the sensor very well. I would investigate more. It might be a great choice for you. One key thing to know is that every single mouse these days uses the same 2-3 sensors and 2-3 processors. Those sensors and processors have a baseline capability, so really performance on mice these days is just a non-issue. Some companies create firmware that works better than others (hence why people complain that the same sensor feels worse or better on one mouse than another), but ultimately the most important feature is *shape*: How it feels in your hand, how it feels to move on the surface of your mousepad. Also, consistent reports and reviews of good build quality is important. Research is the best way to find what you like! I personally ordered multiple and kept the one I liked the most. Just make sure where you're buying has good return policy if you do that.
I have big hands, slightly bigger than yours and almost exactly the same grip. I have a Viper v3 pro but I prefer and main the XM2 from Endgame Gear. The shape is S-tier, you won't regret it.
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 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 using MasterMouse MM720 for years now, but I wanted an upgrade/felt uncomfortable. I tried Endgame XM2 8k, but the clicks were too loud. I looked through previous threads suggesting items like Hecate G3M Pro and zaopin z2, but I live in Canada, so it's hard/expensive to get them. any ideas please and thanks!
For sure, XM2 is definitely the way to go if you have larger hands. I see people talk way more about the OP1 8k than the XM2 8k, I don't know if most people have small hands or people just like really small mice, but I find the XM2 far more comfortable.
