i've tried an np-01s v1 and i have an e1. i agree, their wireless implementation is great, very snappy and responsive, build quality is very good and the e1 has the best feeling mechanical switches i have used.

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?

Hi all, gaming and PC Peripherals have been a lifetime hobby for me. Played CAL and CEVO for Call of Duty uo-COD4. I like to think I'm a pretty decent hitscan but have fallen out of love with FPS for the most part (all the people I grew up playing with have quit or rarely play) all that is left is a competitive spirit and for some reason the need to aim well. Mainly play Kovaaks and Valorant now. All my personal bests are with the wired Vaxee np-01s and the Vaxee XE wireless. Just wanted to share some perspective, open up space to answer any question that arise in the process. I am typically and relaxed claw gripper/fingertip with hands on the smaller side.

the wired np01-s! I'm sure if I had the wireless version with the same weight id be fine though. I think the weight is actually a plus for me recently. I'm not sure what it is but feel like it smooths out a lot of the shakiness in my aim and allows me to think less and just use all the silly aim training I do. Especially when I'm off the cold brew. Ive also had really good spells with the sprime pm1 which is lighter.

That size hand + a palm grip: DA, EC1 (or 2), or Vaxee Zygen NP-01S. Those will be the most comfortable IMO.

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.

How is plugging a wire into an electronic with a battery to charge it funny? Any wireless mouse can be wired, only downside would be the extra weight of the battery inside the mouse. Personally I would suggest if you are stuck on only using wired go with a wired vaxee or zowie mouse. Those are generally around 2016-2018 tech but nobody can force you to enjoy the freedom of wireless if you don't want it. Those 2 brands are built like tanks, and use quality parts. They will easily last you years of use.

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

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
