Im trying to find a mouse that can butterfly click good, and have 4k polling rate so I can also use it for other games. What do you guys use? I was thinking about the Glorious O2 Pro 4k-8k but I heard it has issues and it's not better than it's predecesor, the Glorious O. I've used a roccat kone pure ultra and I'm not the happiest with it, then I switched to an Aqirys Polaris which is not much better.

My setup is basic, but since you said Endgame, my setup is the Anne Pro 2 with cherry MX browns and my mouse is the Roccat Kone Pure Ultra

First of all. Shape is king. Don't be worried about all the new optical tech and weight reduction. As someone who owns about 24 mice I've come to appreciate shape more than anything. There's no point in a weight class if your hand is gonna cramp in the first hour you're playing. At that point it doesn't matter what new tech is in the mouse or how feathery light it is. You're going to develop carpal tunnel down the line if you go at it like that. First, measure your hand and if you have the opportunity to test more in person like at an electronics store or if you have a friend that can let you borrow their mice with a different shape then your own go for it. I also highly encourage you watch different mouse reviews of different mice once you sort of come to that conclusion. The og Viper Ultimate is an excellent starting point to jump off of when exploring different mice. If I may, here are some things to consider/ look for when looking into other mice. - First of all, your Viper Ultimate is a bit of a flat mouse. The Viper Mini is wired but has a bit of a hump. This is highly subjective among gamers/ mouse enthusiasts because it affects how your palm is placed on the mouse itself. - Wired or not wired. Some prefer it wireless so there's no drag, but there are some mice that have very light braided cables or rubber cables. I personally use a Roccat Kone Pure Ultra that I switch off from my Ninjutso Sora. Please note that wired DOES add weight to the mouse, but depending on what kind of cable and if you use a mouse bungee or not will affect your gameplay. Having it wired never really bothered me. - Speaking of shape is king, there are mice that have different shapes and button layouts that you may find interesting. As I said before, The Roccat Kone Pure Ultra is one of my favorite mice in my collection. My first ever mouse was the older Roccat Owl Eye and I loved it for its shape. It has a bit of a curve that makes it more of a right hand mouse, but as a right handed person the curve actually suited my grip style. It also uses Titan mechanical switches that feel crisp to me. Is it faster than the switches in Razer's newer mice? Probably not, but I personally prefer the feel of the press over the latency test in game, which are marginal at best in my own personal testing. My other favorite mouse is the g502. Consider it's shape, multiple button options and the infinite scroll wheel where you can toggle a switch to have the scroll wheel spin instead of click in steps. It's heavier even without weights, but it's a comfortable mouse that also doubles as a nice productivity mouse for work. I would look into if having more buttons for your gaming/ productivity for work would be beneficial for your setup. - Don't worry about things like 8k polling rates or the newer switches that gets put into the newer mice. Unless you have an extremely beefy PC and a crazy monitor you won't really see those returns. Even if you had those in your setup, your performance still comes down to how comfortable you are to land your shots. Remember, even back then during the early days of Twitch and competitive online gaming that made certain streamers rich and famous, even they started off using wired mice. Ninja used a Logitech G502 and even used his own Finalmouse Ninja collab for years before going wireless. It just goes to show that practicing with the mouse that feels the most comfortable is what works. I hope this helps!

I have a Roccat Kone Pure Ultra and love it

My anecdotal experience, my kone pure ultra started double clicking. I submitted a claim to warranty and had a brand new replacement in less than a week. I've been using the burst air versions for years now with no issues (optical switches shouldn't develop double clicking) Turtle Beach bought them and killed the brand off, still making things but under turtle beach name now

High polling rate? Butterfly click? Ask BedlessNoob and get a BloodyA70x I have Glorious O and it’s alright, a bit light and small for my liking though I believe I have the same roccat and I love it

EC2 is the best shape I've used, E1 had the best clicks. I'll give honorable mentions to the Kone Pure Ultra and Origin One X.

20.5/21cm x 9.5/10cm hands here + Logitech G Pro Wireless. After reading this subreddit for a week, it feels like everyone here has 10cm wide hands xD But when I looked at the pictures, something felt off about all the “20x10cm” hand mice recommendations. Do people measure their hands including the thumb, diagonally, or what? Because this G Pro Wireless looks tiny in my hands and my cortisol spiked cause i got hand mogged. For context: I used to play Overwatch professionally for 6+ years (made a living from it, played in the Overwatch World Cup, Top 50 since Season 1). Before that, I got 2nd place in the world in Quake 2 4v4 back in the early 2000s. In the late 90s / early 2000s, I used the first Logitech Premium Optical Mouse, then the G3, then the RX250 (basically all the same shape): 115x62x35mm egg shape. No idea why EloShapes lists the G3 at 38mm height. I hit my peak (Top 30 in Overwatch around 2016/17) using the RX250. Then I switched to the Logitech G203 Prodigy, and my aim felt a bit off — not terrible, just slightly worse. I brushed it off as getting older. Then the cable broke, so I replaced it with a G Pro Wired. That started double-clicking, so I replaced it with a G Pro Wireless. After that, my aim got so bad that I basically stopped playing competitive games altogether. I thought it was just old age — I’m 37 now — but I simply can’t fingertip grip the G Pro. My hand tremors and twitches like crazy with it. Recently, I found my old Logitech mouse from the 2000s, replaced the cable, and launched some aim benchmarks… and suddenly my tracking was back to where it was when I was 20. So now I’m looking for a new mouse. Considering: * Pulsar X2 / X2H * Endgame XM2w (QC issues ??) * Aria II maybe? G305 is definitely not for me. Budget doesn’t matter. Requirements: * Wireless * \~60g or heavier (I hate superlight mice) * Fingertip grip

g pro wireless is hourglass shaped with curved sides almost all of the above are either flat on the sides or have higher width in the middle where i grip the mouse. The width of g pro wireless in the middle where u grip i is around 57-58mm that is not alot for. The butt is 64mm but the grip width is small.

G pro wired / g203 was ok but it did not feel as good as old logitech mx300 rx250 g3 smt felt slightly off like the sides had different angle not flat. I tried G305 for few min in shop the sides are at an angle and the original mouses had them straight no angle. Idk if i would like it in the long run would need to try but idk. G pro wireless makes my hand shake like crazy when precision aiming i thought its cause of aging and just ignored it and the old mouses do not make me shake like parkinson. I guess its not wide enough in the middle where i grip it.

I cleaned the mouse inside and did not put the bottom one on. over the sensor one does not bump the mouse. I thought my shaky aim was cause of age and just ignored it but after swapping from this g pro wireless to old mouse the shakiness is gone. I reached top500 in overwatch with, 500hz logitech bt58 from the garbage bin and 75hz 16:10 monitor. Im not saying g pro wireless made me bronze. Im saying it made me perform worse still reach top500/very high GM just not top 50-100 range like the old mice did.

Saw u can buy bottom dust stickers for 3$ on amazon for the crazy light. I was wondering about the weight. Almost 2x less than my g pro wireless... Im just gonna flip the coin still undecided on x2h vs x2 also xD

I just spent alot on mice on amazon and other sites. i finger trip grip w/o touching the mouse at all. but g pro wireless forces me to touch a little bit with a bit of my palm near the pinky also i hold the mouse crooked. Bought: mchose g3 ultra, attack g3pro, mschose L7 ultra, keychron G1 and G3, pulsar X2h es medium. pulsar x2 v3 mini. Skipped endgame op1 and xm2 cause price is crazy atm 160$+ for xm2w v2. need maybe one big one to test for fun looking at pulsar xlite v4 for 50$. Checked out that scyrox v8 it seem same as x2 mini es w/o the hump. Got the L7 ultra without the + Thanks for your reply basicaly u picked all the mice i bought before reading ur post would save me half day if i red ur post earlier xD

Did you try Aria II by any chance this is the only mouse i did not order cause only from china with long wait time. I just ordered bunch of mice including mchose L7 ultra u mentioned (w/o the + smaller one). Got mchose G3 ultra, attack G3pro, pulsar x2h es medium, pulsar x2 es mini, mschose L7 ultra, keychron G1 and G3. Skipped endgame op1 and xm2 cause price is crazy atm 160$+ One of the pink G3 will stay for my wife xD I think mschose L7 ultra or keychron G1 will be the shape... Wana try aria II but cba spending 120$ for china mice i wont be able to return . I had all the G3 shaped ones starting from the logitech premium optical, bt58, mx300, G3 last one was i think rx250. The g203 prodigy and g pro wired feel, a bit off but they were closes to that shape. G305 is way off the sides have too big angle, The rx250 sides are also angled (the base has less width than the middle) but not by a a lot, also the the sides where u grip it have little "groves" they are not flat or rounded up.

No except for this mice i only used roccat kone pure and razer viper but did not like the shape of the viper. Roccat kone was better than g pro tbh.
