Zaopin - ZPW Max

I have the zaopin zpw max, excellent mouse.

mm731, intellimouse, delux m900, zpw max, ajazz aj179 - i also have “piano player” hands and personally i feel i can grip ergonomic mice a lot better than even really big ambidextrous mice the m900 is like 30-40€ on aliexpress, worth a try

Great list. Can confirm ZPW is definitely a winner. One of my favorite shapes and I've owned a lot of mice. Great stock skates and build quality is decent. Love the blue colorway as well. R5 Ultra is decent as well. Shame the shape doesn't do anything for me and if I want to go small/medium I tend to gravitate towards my VXE mice. But yeah I'd personally put Mad R way further up as well as R1 Pro. Particularly if you get perfect copies. The latter having the better shape for me and my aim. Excellent list though man, really well written and done. Not seen one this extensive for recent budget mice lol. Btw you should try the Mad G as well, that mouse is amazing, one of my S tier. The clicks and shape are top tier.

I got ipi float and zpw max based on this. Ipi float is awesome. Zpw max has the worst scroll wheel that I have ever encountered. Scrolling feels heavy and ”sticky”. I love everything else about it but it’s bad enough that I never use it. Buyers beware. I’ll probably try scyrox next but this sub for introducing me to so many mice. 

For sure you can find the Rawm all colours available at aliexpress. I’ve got blue one coming any day now. I can vouch for Mchose QC atleast. Tbh all aliexpress mouses I’ve bought have been at least on par with my DAV3 and Superlight. My favorite ergo so far has been Zaopin ZPW max but I have high hopes for ER21. Never tried superlight dex but I’ll for sure go for Mchose version if I do.

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.

For palm, V6. I have 18x11 hands and would find it a bit short for palm grip length wise fwiw. Have you thought of an ergo? I have a darmoshark n7 and I have a Zaopin Zpw on the way. Both are a perfect length for your hand imo. I just ordered the zpw max for $43 on Mechkeys storefront on Ali after coins and such.

Just crossed the rubicon, ordered a Zaopin ZPW Max for 60 euros on aliexpress. I wanted to also be able to connect it to my laptop over Bluetooth.

Absolutely loving my ZPW since the second my hand touched it. It replaced my Lamzu Thorn, and I have to say that the shapes aren’t the same. The key difference is how narrow the ZPW gets at the front. It’s more of a clone of the SteelSeries Prime and Prime Mini

Im buying gaming mice since 23 years now… Never bought cheap ones. Here in germany i can nearly buy every big brand. I always were into Logitech and my wife always got Razer stuff. I never bought Razer mice, because there coatings went sticky over time. The last one i bought was a Zaopin ZPW MAX and i can say the chinese ones are realy good alternatives!

Favorite mouse: Zaopin ZPW Max. I have bought far too many mice this year, and most of them had QC or technical issues that made them awful to use, but this gem from zaopin is essentially flawless.
