G-Wolves - Fenrir Max 8K Wireless Mouse

I was on the fence about buying the Beast Miao after using the HSK Pro 4k, HTR Pro, and X2F beta. As someone who has always fingertip gripped, I was previously using the Pulsar X2 Mini and other "small but normal" mice and made it work. But when I moved to the HSK full time, things started working so much better for me. The Beast Miao is my favorite fingertip grip mouse because of its width, contoured sides, crazy strong construction, and weight. It'll be hard for something to replace this one, I tried the Fenrir Max and found it too wide for my liking.

It is so strange: with a fingertip mouse I can play my best aim trainers / casual games: crazy reactions, absolutely mental shots here and there, almost all the time, as long as it’s just a casual match or DM. But in a competitive match, where there’s even a little bit of pressure or stress, my confidence can crumble fast and I start to whiff everything humanly possible. With a more regular mouse the experience is just much more stable. The highs aren’t as high, but neither are the lows. And as is well known, once things start going badly and confidence takes a hit, it’s very hard to push through those moments and keep relying on your fingertip mouse. I’ve really tried to give fingertip grip time just now, and I love those random moments of brilliance it gives me. I’ve also spent a long time developing and fine-tuning my RawAccel curve to go with it, which supports the grip and brings some stability to micro-adjustments. I feel there’s huge potential here. But it also requires me, personally, to always bring my A-game. This mouse type doesn’t forgive ANY mistakes the way a regular mouse does with more support. I do think I will seriously try to main Fenrir Max for now. I've already used it so much, that grabbing a GPX starts to feel like a slow brick in hand.... But I still have my hesitations every now and then.

Man since I got my fenrir it has been on my desk. If it dies I used the htr but as soon as it has enough juice I use the fenrir. IMO it’s def my favourite mouse

G wolves is honestly underrated. I understand the criticism against them, but they are undeniably the most innovative mouse company at the moment, especially in terms of weight.

If you want pure fingertip grip, then go for it. If you have a 3D printer, print up the shapes (there is an online database of all the mice somewhere, use that to find the mice you're looking at and trial the shapes) and find out for yourself which one you want the most. If you still want the hump, then the Pulsar X2 mini is what I'd recommend (easily the best fingertip mouse I've ever touched, though I do use the hump as a rest when being lazy and browsing YouTube, not having it wouldn't be the end of the universe though). As far as grips go, it's honestly so hard to predict what you'll love and hate. Some people find the hump on the asym mice absolutely game-changing for all the right reasons. Others find it "game-changing" for all the wrong reasons. If you have the free cash (and no 3D printer) get both Fenris mice since you'll never know whether you want the asymmetric hump or not until you try it. Otherwise, I would recommend the X2F since it's taking an already amazing fingertip mouse shape (that's known to be unanimously amazing for everyone) and making it a pure fingertip grip mouse shape. It's definitely the safest option here. Personally I don't really find height to be all that impactful ngl, but do note that as the weight decreases, each gram becomes exponentially more noticeable. I mean holding 1 gram vs 2 grams is noticeable since that's a doubling in weight, so although the difference between a 130 gram mouse and a 100 gram mouse is not very noticeable, the difference between a 40 gram mouse and a 20 gram mouse is huge. That being said, shape is more important than weight, and if the shape is wrong for you, a 20 gram mouse will feel heavier (in the hand, plot twist our body doesn't use grams to measure the weight of objects, so the shape actually has more impact on the "felt weight" than the actual physical weight itself) than a 40 gram mouse if it's the wrong shape for you. So when it comes to the Gwolves mice you're gambling that they're the right shape for you. I mean nothing is stopping you from buying them, and there is a larger chance that they'll be an amazing shape for you than anything. But if you're pressed for cash and buying multiple new mice isn't in-store for you, the X2F is guaranteed to be an amazing shape and definitely the "safe" option.

If you are looking to a "pure" fingertip, I recommend to look into G-wolves Fenrir mouse line or HKS line. Very light (\~20-30g depends on the mouse you choose).

The weight difference of the Gwolves asym/max it\`s prob one of the main differences, the sensor position and low distance from the ground feels more precise and resposible too, paired with one of the best specs and shape for fingertip I wouldn\`t recommend you anything else if you want to commit to a fingertip mice. The Asym is the 100% fingertip mouse with its ergo and low buttons. The Max its the more all rounder with its higher and symetrical shape. If youre sure of your choice, my recommendation is the G-Wolves Asym.

If you want a dedicated fingertip mouse, nothing better than Gwolves Fenrir series.

Where are all these cheap fingertip mice on the market? Keychron M4 is $40 for 1k polling, $55 for 4K and $65 for 8k. G Wolves HSK Plus Light is $60 to 70 USD, with a last gen sensor and 1K polling. (still fine IMO, but not apples to apples) That's ALL of the commercially available; wireless, ***fingertip specific***, gaming mice with decent sensors under $100 USD\* that I am aware of. Two shape options under $100, just two while being generous with the 'cheap categorization. Under $50 there is only one and it's an overspec travel mouse from a keyboard brand. Between $100 & 200 USD the market has more options; Pulsar X2F, Gwolves HSK Pro and Fenrir models, WlMouse Miao and I think the ZeroMouse Blade comes in under $200 as well. These are priced in the premium range for gaming mice overall. That said, availability is far from good even in the more populated premium tier or used on Ebay. Many of the mentioned models are often out of stock. Total, excluding OptimumTech and very small bespoke makers, that is a grand total of what, 7 or 8 total shapes? Larger than it was, but still a VERY small market unless you include mice than are friendly to fingertip, but relatively full sized. *\*Yeah, that was a mouthful, but just trying to make a distinction between all the tiny mice that are super common, but not at all intended or spec'ed for competitive gaming, like the Logitech M317/pebble/ect.*

Me in the corner with my G-Wolves, all alone.
