ZYGEN (VAXEE) - ZYGEN NP-01 esports mouse

I got the regular NP-01. Feels nothing like it unfortunately

Idk, to answer your question i really like vaxee mice, personally use the np01ergo

you should go to a store if you can like microcenter/bestbuy and test out the shapes. i also suggest any of zowie mouse (wired) / vaxee (wired) as they have good durability. I had the np-01(wired) for 2 years before I transition to wireless.

Too bad it's so hard to get a hold of them, whish they had local retailers. I used to main the NP-01 wired, only managed to buy it 2nd hand in practically mint condition. I wanted to upgrade to the wireless version but ordering from their website gets way too expensive and not worth it, not to mention they closed their asia-pacific store.

Last one I bought was a G403 that I had so many issues with (scroll wheel, cable being thick as hell, heavy, etc ). I mostly lost faith in Logitech gaming stuff. Bought a refurbished G903 which I occasionally use on the go, but I don't find it comfortable for longer gaming sessions. And recently bought an MX Master 3S for work (perfect). Rocking a Vaxee NP-01, and it's crazy good.

After 5 years down the rabbit hole I can't tell you that there even is a best mouse for FPS but I can tell you where I settled. For reference I have large hands (21 x 10.5). I have bought and used nearly 20 mice over the last 5 years. Main games are CS2 (20k elo), Valorant (immortal), The finals (diamond), Pub G and battlefield. The mouse that I have the most consistency with and best most natural feelings in hand is the zowie FK1+-C. Yes it's wired, yes it's all of 87grams, but it feels like I'm aiming with my eyes. I never worry about finger position or grip tension. It doesn't even enter into my mind. The viper V3 pro is similar but the front flair annoys me. To be clear I have performed very well on mice such as my deathadder V3 pro and vaxee np-01. I also play well on my zowie S1-C and zowie U2. The gpx was fine shape wise but the sensor skips occasionally (two separate copies). But as soon as I put my hands on the FK1+ I just knew. It's a sensation that can only be described as the absence of feeling. It just fits, I don't think about it. Is it perfect? Who knows... But it's more than good enough for me to be my best and enjoy the games I play at the level I play them at. I do wish there was a wireless version, but I'm ok with the wire for how well I perform with the mouse. Will it be perfect for you? Probably not... But I hope that you find a mouse that puts all others on eBay/market place like I have. Good luck.

To most consumers, Vaxees "unique" characteristics are generally indistinguishable from other ergo mice especially when you consider the fact that they're just clones of Zowie mice with small tweaks here and there and especially when most of their mice lack the same customization as pretty much any other mouse in the same $100+ range. I bought the NP-01 when it came out, was not impressed. $80 wired mouse and my G305 outperforms it easily and it's wireless.

Some people report creaking, but it's largely due to the base screws being overtightened. Both of my frosted copies are perfect after adjusting it

The only things that I loved in this mice are the built quality and the clicks. They are so crispy and responsive. Unfortunately the shape of this mice is not for me (np01, np01s)

Unfortunately peripheral companies are unaware it's possible to make an ergo with rear hump. So just have another Deathadder or EC clone (for 200th time). Your best (but still far off) bets are: \- Xtrfy M4 Wireless with the big hump, but it still won't feel like Rival because it's almost symmetrical on top and has aggressive thumb curve (kind of outdated specs but still perfectly competitive mouse) \- Xtrfy M64 (even less like Rival but at least it has modern specs) \- Vaxee NP-01 (second hand) - symmetrical top and small \- ROG Gladius III, it's a tall mouse overall, but its a rear hump ergo kind of \- HYPERX Pulsefire Saga - no reviews and Hyperx doesnt have good track record with peripherals [Other than that you can try to pick your poison from this list](https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/database?shape=hybrid,ergonomic&hump_placement=back+-+minimal,back+-+moderate,back+-+aggressive) And forget about the weight, but if you absolutely need heavier you can open the mouse and tape some weights or do a battery swap to larger capacity if it's wireless

I have 18cm x 9cm and tried a lot of mice Attack shark R6 fantastic shape for me. Their cable is really bad and causes stutters. OP18K shape is also good, cable isn’t much of an issue. ULX small good shape but too small for me ULX medium great shape very versatile GPX too big DAV3 too big NP-01S good shape but too heavy NP-01 a bit large but safe for palm.. but too heavy EC-3CW or whatever it’s called very good size, good fit but I hate ergo so…. I think you will like the ULX small the most… try the Attack Shark R6 too it’s relatively cheap and return on Amazon is easy

I love my r1 so far I’ve had no issues still. I’ve had mine for about a month now. It has a worse sensor than the 179 and it’s also not ergo. If you rather have something ergo you can also look into np-01/s I have smaller hands so the s was better for me.

Lol it’s all good the r1 being like half the price and better shape for me is what made me buy it. Shape is all that matters, the slightly better sensor isn’t gonna make you play much better. I’ve heard the x11 get recommended a good amount I don’t own it but I’ve heard it’s good. It’s called vaxee np-01 and np-01s sorry the s just means that it’s smaller version. They just released the 2nd version the 1st one is still really good tho and obviously cheaper now. I do own this and can say I liked it just not the shape for me.

I still use my g303 for competitive shooters but really dig the np-o1 from Vaxee for everything else

Depends on your hand size and the way you are currently using you hand to hold it. For me it was a journey with the np01 over to xe wireless and now I am on hitscan hyperlight. Before that I did test 15 different mice.

Best software is no software. Zowie, Vaxee and Xtrfy. Pulsar es line is also driverless

For me, it's EGG or Vaxee. Neither are following the "mega-ultra-super lightweight" philosophy, they care more about making incredible products. I've had my NP-01S v2 for around 6 months and I only regret not buying a Vaxee years earlier.

Vaxee mice are very neutral looking and high quality

Check recent zowie and vaxee models, they are more or less weighty and feel sturdy

Vaxee mice, but they are slowly updating their models to be lighter, so if you want a heavy mouse, better get them now. Or you could get a heavily controlled mousepad like LGG Jupiter too, might help with shakiness.

I like that it IS, literally, the vaxee mouse and they didnt even attempt to change the name. Just took out 2 letters, actually, and left it so you pronounce it identically as an english speaker haha. They said "fuck it"

no but how the sensor is implemented can make a difference. i'd rather have a "worse" sensor that is implemented well than a "better" one thats implemented poorly. maybe its the unit i received, i dunno but i'm just now trying out a razer deathadder v4 pro and i feel like it has a "floaty" sensor, in comparison the deathadder v3 hyperspeed i tried felt really snappy despite having a "worse" sensor. i remember the first time i tried a vaxee mouse and the thing that stuck out sensor wise was how responsive and snappy it felt compared to other mice i tried using the same sensor. i mean if you can, why not try it out for yourself and get a superlight 2 you can return if its not for you?

Zowie mice and endgame gear op18k, XM2 8k and the wireless version, also vaxee mice

Any vaxee mouse will likely stick to your hand like glue. 

Get a vaxee mouse

non pro viper wireless, razer deathadder, i'd argue g305 lightspeed, xtrfy m42, wired zowie, superlight 1, glorious wired, some lgg mice, some vaxee mice, endgame gear op1k. All these are like 25-80€ if my quick currency version is right. Some of these are wireless too. Especially if you snipe a sale you can get a really good deal. in "top tier mice" I mean the ones that are basically the same shape as the "standards", superlight 2, viper v3 pro, deathadder v3 pro, etc. Obviously the tech is a bit worse, but we were hitting insane shots on mice 15+ years ago, even the worse mice are 100% good enough. 4k/8k polling doesnt change that much, and thats the major sell of the more expensive mice. I've managed to pick up qck+ for like 10€ on average the last few years, always on sale somewhere. Otherwise a sale on a lgg saturn (standard), zowie gsr (any version you prefer). Qck might not be the longest lasting, but it's usually on a good sale so you never really have to fork out more than AT MOST 40€ a year on it if you're really picky with pad and swap it 4x a year, but most ppl usually keep it for 6-24 months atleast.

Look into Zowie or Vaxee. Great shapes, coating, click quality without the gamer aesthetic. Scroll wheels are on the louder side of that bothers you. But you have a tactile scroll wheel as a trade off
