Vaxee Np01s Ergo Lake Green

6 months ago

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.

Hello everyone, I’m reaching out because I’m new to this field. After doing research for two weeks on grip styles and what type of mouse would suit me, I’m completely lost. I’d like to know whether I’m a palm/relaxed claw player (but with a light claw) or more of a pure palm grip, with a hand size of 18x10 cm. I’m currently using the Razer D4V Pro, and I’d say I’m comfortable with humps that aren’t too high and a smooth, gentle slope down. I aim without placing the base of my palm on the mousepad, but on the mouse instead (which I think matters too). I’m comfortable with the Razer, but an alternative would be interesting, and I’d like to understand this space better so that in the future, if it stops working, I’ll know what I can switch to. My budget is 150 euros. There are many posts about this, but getting an outside opinion is always more interesting, especially with photos. I had already made a post before, and I’d like to thank the person who replied and helped guide me. I’m not used to posting and I usually prefer to do research and find solutions by myself. I’ve already seen a few models that could possibly work. The RAWM ER21 PRO could be interesting—my grip seems to match ergonomic and symmetrical shapes (like the G PRO) more. I’ve tested the following mice: * WLmouse Beast X and Beast X Max (not a fan) * L7 Ultra+ (similar to the Tenz but too aggressive of a claw grip, I’d say) * Pulsar Tenz (hump a bit high, but very interesting with that “lock-in” feel) * NP-01S Ergo (nice, but I didn’t feel comfortable on it) I’d like to know what type of mouse you would recommend, because I feel like I’m going in circles—having tried a few mice but never finding the one that truly fits me…

Okay, I see. The good thing is that I’m set on my grip style, which is already a good thing. I tried the XM2w V2 4K and it feels too aggressive in my grip. I liked the Pulsar Tenz, but I found the hump a bit too high, and I think the position of the base of my palm wasn’t right. The Lamzu Atlantis is out of stock pretty much everywhere. In general, I like to keep my last two fingers extended. Oh cool, that’s interesting!

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

5 months ago

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

Try the larger variants of the mice out and see what you think. I don't like abusing it, but amazon do have a very good return policy. I tend to hold my mouse quite forward in my hands which looks quite similar to you holding yours. My hands have a similar width to yours, but I have only 20cm in length hands. As for a recommendation I recommend the DAv4 pro as it's a very popular well beloved shape, it has quite a tall hump (larger than the EC1). The width should be good for you but I dont think you will find a mouse you can comfortably palm from the large gaming brands (pulsar, logitech, razer, zowie etc...) I have tried quite a few ergo mice (Vaxee E1, EC2-DW, EC1-DW, pulsar xlite v3 (M), zywoo mouse (v1), lamzu thorn, NP-01s Ergo), but I prefer the Deathadders shape overall as it's what I grew up with and just feels comfortable to use for long periods of time. The DAv4 pro has the best build quality I've felt from a deathadder (unsurprisingly, it is their latest model) it honestly comes close to vaxee, but the sound does fall short on the M1 and M2 clicks, they sound very pingy, but they do feel satisfying to press and spammable. The best build quality I've felt in a mouse is hands down the NP-01s Ergo though, the tolerances feel tight like the DAv4 pro, but the sound of the clicks is much better. The shape isn't quite right for me though, its too narrow and flat.

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

3 months ago

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
