tbh i feel like zaopin z2 mini is underrated, nice unique shape instead of copypasta and people tend to ignore it, and rapoo and incott g23, i don't have vt3 pro max, but i have vt9 pro and g23 and vt9 is better (except it lacks hotswap) so i think their places should be exchanged i guedd delux m800 is ultra? because i have m800 3395 rgb (older version) and it's quite bad, i would put it in d tier it's on same level with vxe r1 se+ despite having better sensor, it has bad implementation...

Get cheap delux m900 pro from AliExpress, it would last you quite a while, shape is really close to deathadder, though i personally would overpay a bit to get zaopin z2 or z2 mini basic version with 1k dongle

Mechkeys will start a summer sale this monday. Wait until it starts and get a Zaopin Z2 Mini with 1K polling. Small, wireless, good gaming sensor and hot swappable switches. It will be possible to change the switches without soldering. You could easily mod it to be silent too. Just get Huano brown switches with yellow point for under 5 usd from AliExpress.

I've never owned or know anyone that owns these mice but I've had the Zaopin mice and I believe they're hot swappable.  Would recommend the z2 mini depending on your hand size and grip style

18x9,5cm hand size, after many, many mices i had, tried the G-Wolves Feneir Asym and I fell in love with it. Before I enjoyed a lot: - LAMZU Atlantis Mini (the 4k and upgraded later to champions edition) - Razer Deathadder v3 hyperspeed (for a short period) - Zaopin Z2 Mini (I was performing incredibly well with it and it’s cheap enough for you to try)

I have a zaopin z2 mini and I love it, i changed the switches to be more silent (personal preference, the original switches were fine) and it's great for office/gaming.

Got one with Huano Brown (yellow button) microswitches. Silent and very solid tactile feedback. The materials feels not cheap at all and the signal consistency is great. One of my favorites. Now I'm using a Zaopin Z2 mini, same switches. It feels good but the Incott g23 is better overall. (Easier swap system too)
