MCHOSE - L7 Pro (White/Blue)

Omron optical are quiet but not that fun to click. Huano blue shell pink dots kinda replace the high pitch glass breaking sound of Omron 20m/50m/60m/100m mechanicals with more of a mid-tone range sound, so are sort of quieter. Then switches like “Huano silent” are pretty silent but also kind of meh to click. The quietest Omron optical switch mouse I’ve used is Attack Shark R6, then ones like Mchose L7 with Omron optical are also pretty quiet. Like I said, not a huge fan of how opticals feel, though. Besides that, mice like Zaopin Z1 with it’s Huanos are pretty quiet also, and VXE R1 Pro. If you know how to solder AND do a plunger swap, then Japanese Omrons are more on the quieter side as well.

Thought I would reply after testing like a dozen Chinese mice that Mchose L7 (small version - larger version is louder) probably has the quietest Omron optical clicks. Attack Shark R6 is also similar in noise but worse firmware.

I own a bunch of new mice and the quietest are the Mchose L7 w/ opticals (small version - larger one is louder), the Attack Shark R5 Ultra, and Attack Shark R6. There’s a lot of caveats here, though. You can get bad luck of the draw on the Omron opticals and have them be a lot stiffer and louder. If you get good luck of the draw then the small L7 is about as quiet as it gets. I own one that’s practically silent and another that’s a good bit louder. Then if you click on the back 1/3rd of the button, most Omron opticals are also stiffer and louder. Virtually nobody will actually click there on the small L7, though. Next you have the issue that Attack Shark firmwares are mediocre. Otherwise the Omron 100m mechanical switches in R5 Ultra that are typically somewhat loud are mysteriously very quiet in that mouse. I attribute it to open air shell so no reverb and very stiff shell so no reverb from that either. Heard the WlMouse Beast are light and quiet but don’t own one as well. I doubt they’re as quiet as a good bin of an L7. \-r0ach

Nice collection, in your opinion when it comes to Viper Mini shape, out of ATK F1, Hitscan Hyperlight and VXE Mad R which one is the closest? I ordered ATK F1 V2 Extreme yesterday out nowhere, because I just felt like trying something closer to VM after maining Mchose L7 Pro (great mouse btw IMHO), did I choose the right mouse with F1 V2 assuming it's the same shape as V1? Unrelated, but I read you also collect IEMs, which one do you like the most when it comes to gaming? Just out of curiosity. Thanks!

I think it's probably best to stick with what comes natural, so you focus on the game and not how you're holding a mouse. I think you could get a Mchose L7 Pro and probably call it a day. Specs for most new mice are up to par in a way where there's unlikely any tangible differences between them. You could be fine with some 1k sensor from several years back at this point, so focus primarily on weight and shape. If you have more stable movement and tend toward higher sens possibly look into an ergo but if you do some micro adjusting and repositioning, that's where shorter ambis are superior, otherwise your palm will stop it short on vertical movements.

This. Price for performance is crazy good, been using the L7 pro for competitive FPS. Comes with grips, click latency of around 0.2 ms, weight of 40gr.

L7 pro has pretty muted switches. Otherwise just get a Pinecill from Pine64 and solder switches of your choice in your mouse of choice.

The tech here hasn't changed a lot since then, you are going to be looking for a mouse that works with a 2.5ghz dongle and has a long battery life for your dock, that way its always attached to whatever machine you are using without swapping cables - get one you can program with your gaming machine if you need macros or whatever, then another mouse for your gaming setup that is specialized for gaming. Gaming mice choices are pretty wide open nowadays, with lots of great options for all budget ranges imo. the Mchose L7 Pro is a solid mid budget choice with an agnostic shape, but there are plenty of offerings in the same price range from other vendors that offer other shapes. If you have more budget, look into what the pro players are using for ideas in the 100-150 range - there was a post talking about this in this sub not long ago, should be easy to find - pretty sure it was the Logitech Prox and Razer deathadder having almost all of the pros using one or the other. Id suggest swapping to either a vertical mouse, trackball for your work hours to save your wrists in the long run. There are any number of vertical mice in production currently, the high budget option would be the Logitech lift, Keychron makes a decent one, as do plenty of other mid vendors tbh. this is for productivity so decent tracking and battery life that is in the weeks rather than days is ideal. Elecom makes pretty nice trackballs. I would suggest the Huge or the Deft Pro for most hand sizes. for smaller hands the Bitra is nice. I wouldn't recommend a thumb ball to most folks, as the finger ball gives you better control.

In terms of price/value, I've recently become a fan of Mchose. I picked up the L7 pro and was blown away that it felt 98% of the quality that I would expect out of the mouse it was copying (X2 crazylight) at 1/3rd of the price. It's been my main for about a month I don't see myself switching any time soon (unless we get mz1 refresh, pls xtrfy)

I'm not sure of the regions they ship to, but I've become a fan of mchose recently. Great mice with very good specs, and prices way lower than most other brands. With a small-ish hand and fingertip grip, maybe an L7 or L7 pro? Quick edit - L7 is symmetrical rather than ergo, so depending on how important that is, it might be a dealbreaker. Still, worth checking out their options at least imo

tbh I am considering a zaopin z1 pro due to the fact I've never tried an egg shape before and its shorter, still looking around though, did see the x2h mini and i feel it is similar to what I want

after some searching considering a Mchose L7 Pro due to the shape being like an op1 it seems but smaller, and a bit wider which is something I think I might actually want since imo the op1we is a tad too narrow

I've been enjoying the MCHOSE L7 Pro

I used to palm the Divina S1 with 17x9 hands and it felt great. and my current grip is also palm claw like, a hybrid, so for the S1 i would say palm made more sense than palm claw. for my hybrid style and probably yours too , you don’t want mice with amazing hunp, mice that benefit palming more is actually worse for that grip imo. i gone through many many mice and finally landed on the Mchose L7 pro, currently it’s the smallest mouse i own and also more narrow; it’s not as tall. it allows me to palm it, while the fingers don’t rest on it but claw it instead. so far i think its the best enjoyable mice i had and trying my bigger mice like the superlight or the finalmouse ulx classic, feel very weird. I would advise looking into more narrow and smaller mice if you plan to palm claw or claw.

I am able to have my L7 hit the back of my palm and still be comfortable 

I am using the L7 pro right now since February with no issue for my giant hands but I have and L7 Ultra Plus size coming for AliExpress this week.
