Comon..S+ ? ZPW has loose buttons and creeks within a week, V8 got a loose scroll wheel, X1 got creeks on the side, and how comes the Z2 mini is A tier while ZPW is S+ like Z2 mini build quality way higher, doing a tierlist for low quality products is pointless, just a gamble whenever your units are good or not.
The Zaopin Z2 is hotswappable and has good build quality, but unlike the G23, the hotswap feature is internal, so you have to open the mouse to change the switches.
What do you mean by large? G23 is long, but narrow like small mice, Zaopin Z2 has more reasonable ergo shape. On Incott, I broke my mouse wheel when I tried to fix broken encode which died after one year of use - wanted to know if there are mouse wheel replacements - no response from Incott, cannot recommend.
Zaopin Z2 and silent switches, no soldering required
I’ve been using it since July 2024 and couldn’t be happier, I can recommend it without hesitation
I settled with the Zaopin z2 for work. A little heavier at 60 plus grams and the Vxe r1 and the mad r major for gaming. Lightest mouse I could find in 2024. 3 mice with heavy application of grip tapes on the sides. I find that flatter sides for the thumb and pinky finger helps alleviate the pain. Darmoshark N5 is another I could recommend, I didnt like the heavy clicks.
zaopin z2 is in the same budget tier as the ATK and Mchose mice and has worked wonderfully for me who has similar sized hands with a relaxed claw / palm grip.
Zaopin Z2 is my favorite
One of the best purchases ive ever made. Surpassed the G403 which i had back then.
z2 is insane value for its price, its the best mouse ive had. love its shape, feel and colors. and hotswap is a big plus.
Zaopin Z2. I had a G403 for about 6 years too.
I never had a Superlight so its hard to compare. From what ive heard despite being similar shape they feel very different. I would suggest watching some reviews. Its a bit weighty for a lot people but it feels very confortable. I use it for work and gaming. You can also hotswap the switch.
Zaopin is often forgotten but its quality is outstanding. Not sure why isnt as popular as the mentioned. I got a Z2 and its incredible.
the companies you listed pretty much have no issues. but im gonna rank them based on personal preference. 1. VXE/VGN (got the R1, but it creaks when i squeeze it, not a deal breaker) 2. Mchose (havent used any but they have really interesting shapes) 3. Zaopin (only have the z2 and its a solid performer overall) 4. Darmoshark (got the m3 but the build quality felt cheap) for context i also have a pulsar x2 superclear and a lamzu thorn that are priced way above the ones above and they have more issues than the other chinese mice combined.
