ZYGEN NP-01 Wireless (4K)

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.

As another relaxed claw gripper I’ll bump this rec. Though the regular sized Np-01 is getting the ergonomic treatment sometime next year

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.

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)

Oh I recently just tried the NP-01 haha. It gave me mixed feelings lol. it felt nice in some areas but I think ultimately I didn't like the ergo thumb grove slant on the left side. Just to throw some confusion in my search I also find the Logitech M720 ( for browsing/work ) quite comfy, reminds me of the roccat kone pro air. I think what I am pretty much searching for is a nice symmectrial mouse large enough to palm which is where the XE v2 might come in. Would of been nice if the mouse was just a little longer in length Thanks for your suggestions though

Was purchased off amazon so could just return it. Yeah its strange because I didn't like the dav3 about a year or so ago. Maybe the lower hump on the model D is what I also prefer. EC1-DW i can get for around £70 compared to the rrp of £130

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
