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

Vaxee Np01s Ergo Lake Green

The mouse is impressively solid — the buttons, the scroll wheel, and the colors all look great. I’m disappointed by the Viper V3 Pro, mainly because of the scroll wheel and the fact that there’s still no web-based manager in 2025. The Vaxee one isn’t perfect either; they’re behind on a few things. I have small hands, and you can feel the weight, but it’s not a problem. It’s very comfortable for FPS games like Battlefield, Call of Duty, Arc Raiders, Marvel Rivals, and the tracking feels really good. I’m disappointed by the battery life — it’s nothing special. I don’t understand how some Chinese manufacturers manage to get 500h or even 750h at 1000 Hz.

Thank god I got attached to the OP1 shape, I had the same issue of 27 mice. * OP1 8K White + Corepads * OP1w v2 4K Dark Frost * OP1we White * XM1r Dark Frost * Starlight Pro TenZ Small + Tiger ICE * HSK Plus Lite Pink * Hati S Ace Wireless + Corepads * Hati S Plus 4K Transparent Black * Hati S Plus 4K White + Obsidian Dots * Hati S Plus Classic + Ghostglide Dots * HTX 4K Ruby Red + Obsidian Dots * Lamzu Atlantis Mini * Logitech G Pro Superlight White * Pulsar X2 Super Clear Mini * Pulsar X2H Mini Black * Pulsar Xlite Mini Black + Corepads + Grips * Pulsar Xlite V2 Red * Razer Orochi V2 White + Superglides * Razer Viper Mini + Corepads * Sprime PM1 * Vaxee NP-01S Blue Wireless + BTL Grips * Vaxee NP-01S White * Vaxee Outset AX Funspark * Vaxee XE White * Xtrfy MZ1 + Corepads * Zowie EC2-A + Corepads * Zowie ZA13-C + Corepads

The g502 is very similar in shape to the G7 but has more buttons, uses Logitech software (not sure if there's a web based software or if you still need to download Logitech ghub which might be an issue for using Linux, not too sure).  The vaxee mice have the highest quality reputation from all these choices and would probably suit your needs well but I'm not sure if they have Bluetooth connectivity (same goes for the Logitech mice in that regard).  The Vaxee NP-01, E1 or XE are probably the best of the options in my opinion from those you've listed as they have great tech, and great build quality. I'd usually say that some sort of ergonomic mouse would suit him since he's using it for long periods for productivity and not too much for FPS gaming but if he really liked the model o shape then the Vaxee XE should be close enough shape wise to make him happy. Have a look on the elo shapes site and see what you think

Vaxee NP-01s wireless (not v2) is a good small mouse at 71g

I have bigger hands than you and the gpx2 feels extremely small to me but I've been using the vaxee np01 4k lately and although it's shorter it's also a lot wider at the back so it fits nicely into my hand for claw grip. It's not an ambi shape but it's not ergo either, it's got a really subtle shape, I'd recommend it to anyone.

Honestly not really, I've used mice that are extremely light but the wrong shape and as such they don't feel good at all, the Np01 feels like it's made for claw grip so it feels great in hand so the weight becomes a none issue

Yeah vaxee especially I'm in the UK as well, I got the NP01 4k for £65 and he left the receipt in the box, he'd only had it for a couple of months so I'm really happy with that. I will say I don't mind the weight but in the same way I'd probably upgrade if they released one lighter, I have to stop myself buying one of those new EC DW mice now that they released light versions.

I have an NP01 4k and I love everything about it I just wish it were a little bigger, if Vaxee made something closer to EC1 size I'd buy 2

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

The NP-01s ergo has the hump like aggressively towards the rear — super comfy if you like the mouse to fill the back of your palm more, I prefer just the left and right side of my palm making contact. Comfort for the DAV3 EC and NP-01s are all great, it’s just where the shape of the EC just fit me better

To me it felt like the DAV3 had more hump towards the middle of the mouse where it felt like it filled my hand more, whereas the EC shape has the hump more towards the front but not aggressively. The width felt about the same but the shape of the EC bottom half fit where my thumb and pinky locked it perfectly. I didn’t like the DAV3 more so for the fact that it felt like my hand moved slower? Hard to explain lol

i tried a bunch of mice in the last year and my favs have been vaxee np-01s ergo, pulsar jv-x and zowie ec3-dw and s2-dw. I didnt like the viper v3 pro or the da v3 pro. honestly its all about shape, you should get something like the zowie shape kit to figure out what works for you

im currently maining the np1s ergo and going from that to this is a pretty wild change. Buttons (inc side ones) feel like shit, the coating is meh, the left click on mine had wild sideways wobble and in general it feels like a 50 dollar chinese mouse shame because the he is cool and it looks nice

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

Using a Vaxee Np-01s ergo Switched from a Lamzu Thorn (and before that a Razer Viper V2 pro) I use a relaxed claw grip, and the Razer didn’t support my pinky/ring finger (even gave me finger pain in long sessions) so I decided to try out an ergo mouse with the Thorn. But because of the forward hump position of normal ergo mice, it always felt slightly uncomfortable to have my palm shifted more forward to rest on the hump, so I jumped at the Vaxee which addressed the issue of the hump positioning The thing I like the most about my current mouse is, as explained, the shape just fitting my grip style. One thing I don’t really like is that it has a pretty small battery life compared to my previous 2 mice (though my Lamzu had a battery charging defect too)

Also, look into the vaxee ergo they released recently. That thing fucking rules

It's been my main for a while now. Kinda the closest thing I've seen to a true symmetrical ergo hybrid and it's vaxee so it's built like a tank.

It's a bit smaller but the vaxee zygen np-01s ergo is basically a mini version of that mouse. I pretty much glaze the np ergo every chance I get though lol

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
