ZYGEN (VAXEE) - ZYGEN NP-01S V2 Wireless (4K)

Yeah, if you wanna dive deep into a Vaxee mouse the np01s ergo might be nice for you.. then you will make an easy transition with very similar if not better build quality. Will easily last you another 6 years

They have really good customer service as well., I pre ordered an npo1s wireless and it has known creaking issue.. they let me hold onto until the outset ax wireless released then I sent it back to them no charge in exchange for the outset

I use a Vaxee NP-01S V2 for monster hunter wilds because I play with Greatsword and I find the clicks really satisfying in terms of feedback with a big and slow weapon. I know I'm not as proficient at FPS with it thought and my "try hard" FPS mouse is an EGG OP1 4K.  The OP1 I feel most locked in and responsive with the clocks for FPS games whilst the Vaxee is a very relaxed grip and I often use it for work too.

In my hand the NP-01S V2 feels great because my pinky fits in the pocket coming down from the hump. It's a good fit. I couldn't see wanting the flared out version, if you like the mouse overall, you may want to side-grade to another Vaxee, they are extremely high quality.

I’m loving the Vaxee NP-01s v2 wireless rn

The best fingertip mouse is the x2 mini the best claw shape is the np01s v2 period

Nice! Coming from the OP1 v2, I highly recommend the NP01s v2, unless you are primarily fingertip.

Rivals(mainly), Valorant, and single players. It’s a hybrid of a ergo and ambi. Basically, it’s a small ergo without the high feeling, making it comfortable.

I ended up getting the NP01s ergo cause I saw it was in-stock, and I just couldn't stop thinking about it while using my thorn. I literally got it in this day of writing, but I put my hand on it and man it fit like a glove. Works perfectly for a relaxed claw grip. Size wise, the only difference that I could feel off the rip (not counting the obvious stuff like buttons and scroll wheel) was that it is shorter than the Thorn (from bottom to hump height). Most noticeably is that there's not as much free thumbspace as compared to thorn, but I'm not dragging on the mousepad or touching the side buttons much so its not that noticeable. If you have longer hands than I do (7 x 4-ish in. / 17.78 x 10 cm - I only have an imperial measuring tape) you might have to curl your fingers more into a regular claw. But it really does just fill in the back of your palm comfortably Will also add that in I \*think\* the VGN Y2 is a highly similar shape for like half the price/more if its on sale. I didn't go for it cause I'd been eyeing the Vaxee since August, but its something to keep in mind

This is a less safe shape, but the NP-01s Ergo feels great for a relaxed claw grip/palm hybrid (at least for me it does). I’ve used a viper V2 pro and regular ergos before and the forward huno always forced a more regular clawed grip when I want to get a good grip on the mouse The hump is at the back so it fills into your hand nicely. It is a bit pricey though. The VGN Y2 looks like a cloned shape but I haven’t tried it

Np01s ergo is my favorite mouse but too small. Np01 ergo waiting room...

Np01s Ergo by far. Can't wait for the full size edition

"Using 2k with performance mode takes about 3 days of using, around 5 to 7 hours." Damn, on my unit I got way better battery life than that with the same settings. You really drain from 100% to all the way to empty (or at least to like <10%) in \~21 hours of using or even less? Well agreed with you anyway that it's a great mouse.

Yeah definitely not as efficient as something like GPX but luckily this one is better in every other aspect. I'd say at least 30 hours so like about 5 days if going with your \~6 hours a day. Maybe I'll do more accurate measurement some week.

1. Shapes/ weight I'm using this from an ec2 shape user using a relax claw with an 18.3x10cm hand. I just recently tried out some smaller mice and i enjoy it, especially the Op1w 4k from egg because of the shape and thinner grip. But the sides are a bit too flat for my taste. The shape of the np01s fills the need for more comfort curves in the mouse and retains the thinner grip compared to other mouse. A unique shape as a mix of symmetry and asymmetry. 1 thing i would say i don't like about the shape is the amount of support and how the curve interact the thenar in my palm, leading to that specific muscle and my thumb to get a bit fatigued. Regradless these issues, my aim is very stable and i have the mobility of smaller mice to micro adjust in the game. The 58g weight is game changing for me compare to the older np01s, it changes the feel of the mouse completely for me and this is a sweet spot for weight for mouse using for tac fps game to me, I think this is the elements that makes the mouse feel so good to me this time cus when i tried the v1 i didnt like it that much ( tracking heavy aim and raw aim i would use lighter mouse with different shape and grip) 2. Coating I have VERY VERY sweaty hands and the coating of Vaxee just doesn't work for me, getting slippery after just 1 round of Valorant and i have to constantly wipe my hands. I would say the coating i like and kinda work for me is Zowie dw series coating. I use griptape anyway so this is not a deal breaker for me. 3. Switches/scroll wheel. This is one of the best main click/ switches I've tried so far. Spammable and light, literally no side flex on the click, very little to no pre-travel, and a bit post post-travel. Very nice side click as well, tactile and well-positioned, it is a bit small but this is a small mouse so cant complain about that. Scroll wheel is tactile and loud, the switche is on the heavier/medium side but it is one of the most snappy scroll wheel click i have had, usually it is more mushy in my experience. Overall, one of the best if not the best implementation. 4. Sensor/ performance/ battery life. I saw some reviewers mentioned about the sensor position on this mouse is a bit lower than usual. But i dont see it affect anything to the feeling or my performances. Mostly using 2k and 1k cus my hardware is not enough for 4k but im happy about what i have with the 2k and competitive mode. Using 2k with performance mode takes about 3 days of using, around 5 to 7 hours. Not the best but decent battery time, but be sure to turn off the mouse after using cus i left it over night once and the battery is empty next morning, i dont remember about this as i forgot to charge it earlier or it was on the whole night but just turn it off after using. 5, skates Thinner than after market skates and more on the control side of the speed, but it is pretty smooth and reliable. i use it on xsoft artisan pad but havent noticed the bottom of the mouse touch the pad at all but it might be because of my grip and playstyle. i woud recommend replaced them tho, ( can anyone explain why the skates looks like it has 2 layers?) CONCLUSION if you're sure u love the shape of the mouse and Vaxee mouse in general, i still recommend to look for this mouse on the 2nd market since the price tag in europe is very expensive. However, if u have the budget, i think just go for it, it has the best of the build, click, sensor u can get on the market. If u want to try the shape for urself i think the Incott Ghero has a similar shape and at a very cheap price point. My first ever review and i would love to make a video someday so feel free to discuss and tell me what i missed, t4r https://preview.redd.it/olzw5005nzve1.png?width=1536&format=png&auto=webp&s=afa5ffc7d2c24d720bb60e62089eb23dfe1d5a8c
