Keychron - M7 Wireless Mouse

Might be a bit late but for under 70€ the keychron m7 is the lightest your going to get

All I have to say is don't buy from Logitech, Razer, Corsair, Steelseries, HyperX, or Redragon. They all have planned obsolescence designed into their shells and will break after 2 years of use. If you do have to buy one of these brands Redragon has the highest build quality out of all of them. The Glorious model i is good. The Dareu A980 is good. The Keychron M7 is good (NOT the M6, the M6 has weird glitchy sensor behaviour). Turtle Beach/Roccat is good, however since Turtle Beaxh bought out Roccat they discontinued all mice with more than 2 side buttons, and old stock Roccat mice are all slower than any of these mice (minus the Kone XP air, that one is the last vestige of Roccat before they went the 2 button route). They're insanely expensive, but the Swiftpoint Z (there are multiple versions, all of the wireless versions are goated the old wired one is jank) is also absolutely amazing and the ultimate life-form when it comes to button placement (though obviously it's button placement isn't for everyone, I mean having 6 additional main buttons isn't exactly normal). When it comes to numpad mice, we're SOL and have basically nothing, the Aerox 9 is the best we currently have and it's far from perfect. Hopefully we get more variety in the future!

If you want maximum longevity, you should stay away from Logitech, Razer, Steelseries, HyperX, Corsair, and Redragon, since their softwares are required to run their mice, and when they stop updating the drivers for your model it will stop working the next windows update. Additionally these brands also thin out the shells in highly stressed components in order to ensure they break after approximately 2 years of use. All these brands get money through a resale-scheme, by making you have to constantly buy a new product from them. My recommendations are from brands that are still small and growing (so they're economically incentivised to make good, reliable products and ensure they have good software support, even if they drop software support for later models, since people will most commonly look at their original products to gauge reliability). These brands are still gaining customer loyalty and as such will happily help you with any problems you face and have already designed their products to last as long as possible. If you wanna try vertical mice: The Hansker performance vertical mouse is shipped from Germany (if memory serves me correctly)and so should be relatively easy to post to India. The Keychron M5 is also worth a try since they have multiple European stores and warehouses. The swiftpoint Ergo-point is American unfortunately so I don't think you could source one easily. For standard ergonomic mice: Kysona Uranus Pro copies the tried and true Roccat Kone shape, it's cheap, built like a tank, and is amazing for palm grip. Keychron M7 (not the M6, the M6 has a design flaw in the sensor that makes it behave unexpectedly). Dareu A980. Glorious Model i 2 (the model i 1 has issues don't get it). Roccat/Turtle Beach kone XP air (discontinued, but there is still old stock floating around). These mice should all be fairly easy to source and relatively cheap (and most importantly, they're all built to last and their software isn't required to run to keep the mouse working, so you don't have to worry about software obsolescence thankfully, most actually can use browser-based software, meaning you open up safari or chrome or edge, open up the website, and then the website talks directly to the mouse and tells it what settings to change, no need to even download a software).

Dareu a980. _ 3 buttons. Glorious model i (the wireless one is better QC wise). _ 4 buttons. Keychron M7 (M6 has very weird sensor behaviour for unknown reasons, so don't get it, wait for reviews on the M5 first if you want the M6). _ 3 buttons. Swiftpoint Tracer (or Creator or Z2). _ 8 buttons + analog main buttons (Z2 has motion controls). (Discontinued, but old stock is still here and there) Roccat/Turtle Beach kone XP air. _ 7 buttons + scroll tilt. (If you're prepared for fighting Steelseries software, saving the keybinds to the on-board memory, disabling Steelseries software entirely, and then controlling the RGB with OpenRGB) the Steelseries Aerox 9 is mostly ok, not the best ergonomics though and easily the worst performance and weight of all of these. _ 12 buttons + scroll tilt.

Just put grip tapes on top of it, it will feel perfect.

You do realize you could bind middle click to other button? For example infinite scroll with tilt scroll buttons can become easier to press middle click.

How doesn't it recognize mouse buttons? If the mouse button becomes other mouse button in software it should recognize. It happens on mouse through firmware.

The specs seem to be good, similar to the GPX2 ones, we’ll see how it goes. I am a bit tired of that platform though and would prefer a more unique case, perhaps a third button on the side as well. The Keychron M7 8K did it well

[Eloshapes is pretty great for comparing mouse shapes](https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=logitech-g502-x-lightspeed-vs.-keychron-m7-vs.-razer-basilisk-x-hyperspeed)  I find that Razer's Basilisk sits perfectly in my hand (rather long fingers). However, I was really annoyed when that thing died after mere 3 years. That’s to say nothing of their software. Since then I got Keychron M7. Ergonomics are slightly worse, but it's an infinitely better mouse in every other way. 

I used the Keychron M7 8K for four months. Here is my review from the perspective of someone who is mostly a productivity user but also does some gaming. I generally liked the mouse, even if the lack of a free scroll wheel is somewhat limiting. Battery life more or less lives up to Keychron's claims, and I feel like it's more than sufficient, especially at 1 or 2 kHz polling. Alternative mouse feet and grip tape would have been nice add-ons, too, especially for a company that makes such repairable and mod-able keyboards... I wish Keychron had implemented some more advanced options, like a way to momentarily drop the DPI for scoped shots or sensor rotation options, but in general, you get what you pay for, and for all-round use, this thing kinda slaps. The coating is pretty solid, and even though it has worn a little over the months, it hasn't turned into a sticky mess. It just gets a little shiny. Please let me know if you have any questions about the mouse or if you want me to test anything in future reviews or with this specific mouse. I am planning more in-depth battery life testing for future reviews, but still working on a way to accurately track that.

Scroll wheel is pretty standard. I could use a firmer detent on the scroll, but it's definitely nothing worth complaining about. There's definite tactile feedback. The scroll wheel click is quite a bit stiffer than the main clicks, though. I use middle click a lot, too, and I do find the M7 ever so slightly too stiff. Fortunately, there are no major issues when it comes to contact if you're holding middle click to drag or rotate, so that's positive. Check out the M6 8K. I think as a symptom of the metal scroll wheel, it's a lot lighter to click. It also has the side scroll and scroll wheel tilt, both of which can be remapped to whatever input you want.

The M6 8K free scroll wheel is actually decent. It's metal now. It's a little loud, but that's only noticeable because the rest of the buttons are so darn quiet lol.

Buy a wireless mouse, open it, take the battery out, and enjoy. I can positively recommend the Keychron M7 8K and M2 8K. Both meet all criteria except wirelessness, but that can be solved with the above method.

I just got this mouse and cant stand the feel of the plastic, and my ring finger rubs against the outside edge of the right click button, which just isnt comfortable. I am also struggling with the light weight. Im coming from a G703 (started double clicking) which has a nice heft. Im so bummed because I love the all black aesthetic of this mouse. I cant seem to find a good no-frills all black gaming mouse.

I have an M6 4k and M7 8K. Thru are very good and haven't had issues with either, and the software is web based like all of Keychron so it works flawlessly on Linux. The M6 only issue is the scrollwheel but I'm comparing it to the MX Master and that's kind of cheating because that scrollwheel alone costs more than 70% of mice that get recommended here. The shape is great and feels robust. Apparently the 8K has a better scrollwheel. The M7 is also great, its in an awkward limbo between productivity mouse and gaming mouse. As a productivity one it falls short because lacks buttons and functionality on rhenscrollwheel, and as a gaming one it only works because I like big mice for a very relaxed palm grip, and even then the third thumb button is weirdly places so its hard to reach and you have to tilt your hand a bit. Other than that I imagine that if anyone has complains about Keychron, is not about their quality but the fact other brands have released as good or better products for cheaper, so its the same as its happening in a lot of other hobbies, a race to the bottom in prices in an industry dominated by Chinese clones of something good. 

Without knowing what you play or what your measurements are I’ll just toss a couple general recommendations for big handed folks. Since you like the m550L (which I use at the office, there is a quiet click version with side buttons) and you don’t totally hate the g502 (the thumb rest) my strongest suggestion is a keychron m6: /m7- the m7 is basically the 502 with better scroll wheel placement, the m6 is heavier but with a high center arch that you might find more comfortable. Seeing how you’re palming a 502 like it’s a children’s toy I’d also suggest the largest ergos: pulsar xlite v3 large (maybe this is called the v4 now)/ zowie EC1

Keychron M7 if you want that 3rd button and Basilisk style shape

Yup, I like it. Also, the coating has been upgraded, which was great news for me as I didn't know that. Now I can keep the grip tape in reserve, lol. Edit: scroll wheel is loud though, but not in the free scroll mode.

Keychron M6 or M7 are great G502 style modern affordable mice. They have higher polling optional or 1K if you don't care. These are durable and surprisingly good OP1 / XM2 are insanely well performing mice but more competitive performance that happens to be comfortable and hard wired. These are durable and performance focused. Pulsar makes some cool designed mice that are competitive but pricey well designed mice with a nice web UI. Performance and Aesthetics with good build quality but more brittle than some.

Does the Keychron web launcher support 5 different profiles for the m7 8k version? My m7 1k version doesn't support 5 different profiles so I'm likely gonna return it.

I bought the m6 1k with metal scroll wheel and I can confirm that it supports 5 profiles as well. But for whatever reason the m7 1k doesn't. I reached out to support, will see what they say. Good idea regarding profile cycling though, I wasn't seeing a typical profile cycle button on the m6 and was disappointed. But this option works well. Just hoping it can come to the m7 1k as well.

Keychron support confirmed that the m7 1k doesn't support multiple profiles. > I am sorry 1K mouse only has one profile. The website doesn't do a good job explaining all subtle differences between all of the mice. The m7 1k version shares the same description as the 8k version. With the 1k version selected https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-m7-wireless-mouse?variant=41218470969433 the description still says: "Besides, it provides 5 on-board memory profiles for your access to different apps or computers."
