The legendary McDonald’s mouse.

I bought this as a joke but it’s technically the rarest peripheral that I own. Don’t ask about the specs as it’s practically unusable for gaming. 💀

Ranked from fastest to slowest glide on glass. Of course exact speed changes with what type of texture any given glass pad has, dot layout, dot type, and break-in. I tend to run 4-6 dots

1. UltraGlide RS

Speed: Extreme | Durability: Average

Extremely quick sustained glide with a direct feel and a bit of a textured feel. Peak speed is excellent: wear can bring that speed down fairly quickly.

2. Westlab Orange

Speed: Extreme | Durability: Average

One of the slipperiest options, with a light, smooth glide and very little drag. Fast movement is its strength here: Black has the better durability.

3. Westlab Black

Speed: Extreme | Durability: Very good

Nearly Orange-level speed, with a particularly smooth, polished and direct glide. Better wear than Orange makes it a strong fast, and durable option.

4. Icarus Neon

Speed: Extreme | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Very low drag with a crisp, immediate response. Speed is the main appeal: not too sure about durability.

5. Icarus Origin

Speed: Extreme | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Fast, direct glide with a sharp response. Similar speed territory to Neon: not too sure about durability.

6. Abyssgaming Gear Ice

Speed: Extreme | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Exceptionally slick, almost oily glide that hides much of the glass texture. Very fast, though noticeably audible: not too sure about durability.

7. ESPTiger Yanzi

Speed: Extreme | Durability: Short-lived

Extremely slippery with more texture feedback than the softest dots. It wears quickly under heavy glass use, so the fast initial glide is the main attraction.

8. MGG Green

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Very little drag during longer swipes and a notably fast glide. Limited firsthand experience on how the texture feels and how well the speed lasts.

9. Westlab Blue

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Good

Fast and lively, with more surface feel than Black or Orange. Durability seems fairly good, though i have limited firsthand experience on the long term wear with these.

10. ESPTiger Yanzi Q

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

A very fast, with softer contact and less harshness. i have limited firsthand experience long term wear with these.

11. WAIZOWL × KIBU Shiro

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Fast, direct glide with noticeable texture feedback on glass. Low drag is a big strength with these skates: not too sure about durability.

12. UltraGlide RS II

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Quick and responsive, though some glass surfaces make it feel more durable than regular Jade. Limited firsthand experience.

13. TALONGAMES Yami 4 mm

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Average

Very fast with sharp texture feedback and a light 4 mm contact feel. Durability is considerably better than Kumo 4 mm in one multi-pad comparison, but still not exceptional.

14. X-raypad Jade

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Short-lived

Very nice glide feel on these . it's quick, but tends to wear down rapidly on a lot of glass surfaces.

15. TALONGAMES Kumo 4 mm

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Short-lived

Very fast, silky. The excellent smoothness comes with notably poor durability on glass.

16. Dysphoria Jellyfish

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Average

Fast, quiet and smooth. Wear can be fairly quick on aggressive glass, so durability is not a major strength here.

17. Westlab Black V2 — Small Ball 5 mm

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Quick. through break-in: long term durability with these i have limited firsthand experience.

18. ESPTiger ICE V2

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Short-lived

Fast, crisp response with audible surface feedback on rough glass. The glide can get scratchier as it wears, so longevity is not the strongest point.

19. TALONGAMES Kumo 6 mm

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Short-lived

Smooth, softer glass feedback than Kumo 4 mm. Excellent glide feel, but wear remains a drawback.

20. KYUU Design Lian

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Average

Quick, direct. The speed advantage is consistent across comparisons: durability ranges from good to fairly short-lived.

21. UWS Magic Ice+

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Smooth, fast glide with moderate texture feedback. Early wear seems favorable on rough glass: long term durability i have limited firsthand experience with.

22. X-raypad Jade Air

Speed: Very fast | Durability: Short-lived

Close to Jade speed with softer, quieter contact and less scratchiness. a lot of wear and tear on glass, is still relatively fast.

23. Westlab Black V2 — Medium Round 6 mm

Speed: Fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Fast and smooth, with more stability and less pronounced texture than Small Ball. Gradual break-in is expected: long term durability has limited firsthand experience.

24. Clustrs White Donut

Speed: Fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Fast, crisp glide, little texture. Speed sits above Cyclone Pro: not too sure about durability.

25. UWS Pink Fox

Speed: Fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Smooth, easy glide and mild texture feedback. Feels quick: durability i have limited firsthand experience.

26. WAIZOWL × KIBU Washi

Speed: Fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Fast, direct movement with more surface feedback. It has a firmer, grounded feel: not too sure about durability.

27. TALONGAMES Iwa 6 mm

Speed: Fast | Durability: High

Easy initial movement, solid sustained speed and noticeable glass texture feedback. Faster than Cyclone Pro in a direct comparison, with better wear durability as well.

28. GLSSWRKS Universal Dots

Speed: Fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Smooth, and quiet, with an easy start and soft contact. Glide is close to Cyclone Pro: long term durability i have limited firsthand experience.

29. Westlab Black V2 — Flat 6.5 mm

Speed: Fast | Durability: Average

Especially slippery when fresh, with smooth, flat contact and low starting drag. Speed drops as the surface wears in: the long term glide is less compelling than its initial speed.

30. GHOSTGLIDES Cyclone Mini

Speed: Fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Soft Cyclone-style glide with a sharper, more defined response from its smaller contact area. I have limited firshand experience with wear.

31. TALONGAMES Iwa 4 mm

Speed: Fast | Durability: High

Fairly fast with prominent surface texture. Strong durability is a major strength with these skates.

32. UltraGlide Silencer

Speed: Fast | Durability: Good

Quiet, smooth, being slightly more durable than the fastest dots. wear seems reasonably good.

33. GHOSTGLIDES Cyclone Pro

Speed: Fast | Durability: Average

Effortless initial movement, very smooth, quiet contact. Sustained glide is fast rather than extreme: durability is solid on moderately textured glass in my experience.

34. TJ Exclusives PlastiX

Speed: Fast | Durability: High

Quick to start moving, with a firmer and more textured sustained glide than soft PTFE. strong durability is a major strength here.

35. Westlab White

Speed: Fast | Durability: Good

Quick but relatively balanced, with more glass texture feedback and stopping power than Black. Durability seems good: long term wear i have limited first hand experience with.

36. Dysphoria Manta Ray

Speed: Fast | Durability: Average

Medium-fast movement with clear texture and more control than Jellyfish. Smooth enough for rapid swipes, with durability.

37. Kyomi Bubbles

Speed: Fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Balanced speed, some texture. not too sure about durability.

38. Westlab Cream

Speed: Fast | Durability: Good

Smooth, quiet, with medium-fast glide. Its controlled, polished feel is a big strength here: durability seems promising.

39. UWS Silver Fox

Speed: Fast | Durability: Good

Smooth, fairly quiet glide with moderate speed. Wear seems reasonable, although i have limited firsthand experience with them.

40. Dream Gamer Glass Special

Speed: Fast | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Moderately fast, light texture feedback. More stable than outright slippery: not too sure about durability.

41. X-raypad Jade Air SE

Speed: Fast | Durability: Short-lived

Quick, and quiet. Prolonged heavy glass use can make it rougher and noisier fairly quickly.

42. GHOSTGLIDES Cyclone (standard)

Speed: Balanced | Durability: Average

Medium to fast glide. Durability appears average.

43. X-raypad Obsidian (original)

Speed: Balanced | Durability: Good

More controlled and tactile than Jade, with stronger stopping power. Long lasting glide is a major strength here, especially compared with fast, soft PTFE.

44. X-raypad Jade Ultra

Speed: Balanced | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

More controlled than Jade. i have limited firsthand experience : it is primarily intended for cloth and plastic pads.

45. X-raypad Obsidian Air

Speed: Balanced | Durability: Good

Quiet and controlled, with less harsh texture than the original Obsidian. durability seems good, but long term i have limited firsthand experience.

46. Westlab Yellow

Speed: Balanced | Durability: Very good

Controlled glide with a little surface texture and better durability than Black. Its durability is a strong point here.

47. UWS Silver Fox Plus

Speed: Balanced | Durability: Good

Smooth but more deliberate than Silver Fox, with stronger stopping power. Durability seems good: limited firsthand experience with extended wear.

48. X-raypad Obsidian Ultra

Speed: Balanced | Durability: Limited firsthand experience

Controlled. More stopping power than speed-oriented dots: limited firsthand experience.

49. Wallhack Pro

Speed: Controlled | Durability: Good

Slower, controlled glide with good stopping and a grounded contact sensation. Wear seems fairly good: not too sure about durability relative to Obsidian Pro.

50. Westlab Grey

Speed: Controlled | Durability: Very good

Very controlled and quiet with a smooth glide. Durability is a major strength here: speed is deliberately low.

51. Unusual Way Sports Black Fox

Speed: Controlled | Durability: Very good

Heavy, controlled glide, a little sharp texture. more durability than speed.

52. X-raypad Obsidian Pro

Speed: Controlled | Durability: High

High stopping power and a pronounced connection to the pad. Durability is a major strength with these skates, while speed is deliberately low.

53. X-raypad Obsidian Pro Air

Speed: Controlled | Durability: High

Very controlled glide. Strong durability and reduced scratchiness are the main advantages.

54. X-raypad Titanium U9 Air

Speed: Very controlled | Durability: High

Slow, controlled glide, strong stopping power. Excellent durabilty is a major strength here.

55. X-raypad Titanium U9 Ultra

Speed: Very controlled | Durability: High

Very controlled with high stopping power. Extremely wear-focused: the slow glide is a trade-off.

Not sure if this has been posted yet. Seems to be a new keyboard and mousepad as well. He didn’t specify a release date unfortunately.

I main the Gpx2 for gaming and productivity and a few weeks ago I asked my cousin if he could find me a mouse that is high on performance wired or wireless, my cousin said "I got you". a few weeks passed by and yesterday, He knocked at my front door holding my new mouse the op1 8k v2 he said that he did a research on it with a few testing as an add-on

Downgrade or Upgrade?

Is there any accessories that I can buy for my op1

Because of my studies, I sometimes spend several hours sitting, so I'm looking for a lightweight, ergonomic mouse that won't tire out my hand, but also has a sensor that works well for gaming.
I was thinking about the ATK X1 V2 Ultra Max (which doesn't have a charging dock) and the Mchose K7 V2 Ultra+ (which does have a charging dock).
What do you think?

I'm looking for a new gaming mouse to replace my BenQ Zowie FK1 (MPN: 9H.N04BB.A2E), which I've been using for quite a while.

My main priorities are:

• Wireless

• A bit lighter than my current FK1

• A better/more modern sensor

• Usable while charging ( lower priority)

• Budget: Around €150, if spending that much is worth it

Shape and grip:

I've pretty much always used the same kind of mouse shape, starting with the Microsoft IntelliMouse 1.1 and the Zowie FK1.

I think my grip is a relaxed claw grip (see pictures). My wrist and the base of my palm rest completely on the mousepad, but the back of my hand still makes contact with the rear of the mouse.

I'm generally comfortable with the FK1, but I suspect there might be a shape that fits my grip even better. I don't think I'd want anything smaller than the FK1, though. If anything, I'd probably prefer something slightly larger.

Mice I'm considering:

Some time ago, I received a few recommendations:

• VAXEE XE v2

• ASUS ROG Harpe II Ace

• Zowie FK-DW (obvious safe choice,)

Trying different shapes in Paris:

Since I've only used fairly similar mouse shapes for years, I'd really like to try a few different ones before buying.

Does anyone know of a store or another way to physically try gaming mice, particularly less mainstream brands like VAXEE or Lamzu, in the Paris area?

I'd prefer not to order five different mice just to try their shapes and return four of them. Is there a better alternative?

Thanks in advance.

Normally I set the motion sync to off, but now I only have these 3 options. Any advice on what I should choose?

Hand is 17,5x9,5

Grip: claw

I use mchose L7, but would like some support for ring finger and maybe high back hump, or could you recommend shape that will fit that grip.

19x10cm hands
Pincer claw grip

Previously used:
Viper v1-v4, Viper mini; GPX1,2, superstrike; Pulsar X2CL, X2HCL; OP1 8k; Ninjutso Sora v2; Beast x mini pro; Finalmouse ULX Prophecy Clix. (probably a lot more that I forgot)
Main games: Kovaaks, Valorant, Marvel Rivals

Stock skates, 2k polling, no grip tapes, ATK Blaze mousepad

Initial impressions:
Coming from Pulsar X2CL, ATK Phantom feels a lot nimbler and stock skates are amazing. I was a long time viper mini lover but due to it stopped production so I wanted to try different mice. One major problem is that the side buttons of ATK Phantom is a lot more forward and upwards which means pressing them I would have to change my grip. Over these 2 weeks I have changed my grip slightly forward to adapt to the side buttons. I'm not going to talk about sensors that stuff since most sensors on mice in the market already feels identical.

Weight:
Definitely feels heavier than advertised 44g though the weight balancing makes me forget about it in game, not as good as the viper v4 pro balancing but it is close.

Clicks:
Feels mushy but sounds crispy? (if that makes sense) Maybe I've grew custom to Pulsar clicks which made me feel the ATK Phantom is less spammable but the clicks feel nice. Scroll wheel clicks are muted and steps are alright, doesn't have that distinct feeling of the steps but it's there.

Shell:
The shell doesn't feel as hollow as Pulsar mice and the Ninjutso Sora v2. I would compare the feeling to Viper V4 pro which feels light but solid and that is one reason I switched off Pulsar mice cuz they feel too hollow. Above the rear side button, there's a flex spot and I think it is a common occurance for most copies of this mouse. It is not noticible when playing but if you're 'admiring' it upclose, you will notice it right away.

Since it is a carbon mouse, it doesn't have grippy coating as other mice. If your hand isn't bone dry, you will have 0 problems gripping this mouse. It feels secure in my hand without any grip tape and I don't have much hand sweat.

Comparing to ULX:
TLDR: ATK phantom does almost everything better than the ULX except maybe the heavier weight. No hate towards the ULX, I absolutely loved it but the QC issues and creaking sounds were so annoying, every session I was wondering why I was still on the ULX. If you care about the resell value, go for the ULX, it is limited afterall and colourways are nice. Performance-wise, if you dont mind the extra 6-10g I think ATK phantom takes the win as I haven't experienced any creaking sounds yet even squeezing it hard.

Price:
At 85-90 USD before shipping, I wouldn't say it is a blind buy. It is a very good all-rounded mouse and will probably be my main from now on until faults start showing. If you are sceptical of finalmouse ULX build quality and the bad QC issues, I would recommend trying this.

P.S. If you are getting the dune version of the ATK phantom, the colours are slightly muted than the ULX Prophecy Clix.

As the title says, my mouse won't charge when I place it on the dock and I don't know what to do, has anyone experienced this and if so is there a fix or do I have to buy a new mouse or see if it's still under warranty?

I bought this mouse in October of 2016 for $22.48 USD ($31.97 adjusted for inflation) and only now, 10 YEARS later, has it finally had a catastrophic problem, even after breaking off the cover for the right click button and hot-gluing it back on during 2019 after dropping it. Even after the palm rest of the body began to crack and fall apart it still worked perfectly.

During 2022 it's main buttons began to fail in specific positions that eventually other people could not use the mouse any more. this is because the switches had been so heavily worn in by me that I became the only person that could use the mouse. From a multi-user standpoint this isn't great. From a device security standpoint, this is amazing (can't use my computer if you can't even get the mouse to click lol).

AND ONLY during this last year in 2026 did it begin to develop a double clicking problem for the middle mouse-clicking with the scroll wheel.

It's final failure that did it in was the joint where the USB cable connected to the front of the mouse has finally begun to fail and now it will occasionally disconnect itself if you angle the mouse the wrong way. This makes it somewhat unusable for anything requiring fast movement (FPS's and shooter games in general).

The driver software was serviceable but limited compared to the more expensive competitors but it did the job I needed it to do and it had no bloat to it at all. it let me customize the colors and set up some dpi presets for the DPI switch. No regular Updates, No launch on PC startup, No wi-fi required to send metrics back to the manufacturer. Perfect and capable. Not fancy.

The only gripes I really ever had were:

• The low friction slider pads on the front underside of the mouse had their adhesive fail and eventually fall off. How ever this is nor really much of an issue in our current era since the materials used for those pads on newer mouses has changed and improved significantly.

• The crevices and grooves of the body were dead skin and finger gunk magnets. Mice with smooth exteriors and minimal grooves or seems are clearly superior in this sense.

It has been comfortable and has fitted my hand very nicely, even with some parts of the palm rest cracking and breaking off over the last few years, and those cracks only got there because I dropped it a few times when I was younger.

It's decently light for what I needed it to do.

Would I buy this mouse again if I was a kid. Yes absolutely. It's the right kind of silly and fun looking transformers exterior that a kid would enjoy or think is cool regardless of what us adults would think of it now.

Would I buy a new one to replace my aged veteran now? No. Optical switches, G10 low friction slider pads, and braided sheath USB-C cables are a thing now. I think I shall lay him to rest in a place of prominence on one of my shelves in my office and find a successor. Maybe a G502 X Wired, Razer Naga. Or maybe something from Redragon if I want something more sensibly priced than the nonsense Corsair, Razer, SteelSeries, ATK, and even our lord of longevity Logitech seem to be peddling with their prices these days.

Or if I wanna try my hand at peripheral fabrication, maybe 3d print myself a frame and get the components to build a mouse myself.

If you want to look up this mouse just search for "Combaterwing Gaming Mouse". That is all. Peace.

Got the Viper V4 Pro (black) to compare it with my V3 Pro (white), which has been my main for a while. Quick first impressions:

Weight – 49.2 g on my scale, exactly what Razer claims.

Coating – Noticeably better on the V4 Pro, feels grippier and nicer. Could partly be the color though, since I’m comparing black vs white.

Clicks – They sound noticeably brighter / louder than on my V3 Pro, link to a click comparison in the comments (V4 Pro first, then V3 Pro). You can hear my 3D printer running in the background, but I think the difference is still pretty clear.

Stock skates – Honestly pretty bad. Not a fan at all, I’d swap them right away.

Polling – 4K feels more stable to me than on the V3 Pro. Also nice: 8K works wired too now, the V3 Pro maxes out at 1K over cable.

Shape / feel – Same shape, and apart from the coating and the clicks I really can’t feel a difference in hand.

Sensor – Focus Pro 50K, up to 50,000 DPI, firmware v1.01.00 out of the box.

Verdict so far: I’m probably returning it, since I already own a V3 Pro and I’m more than happy with it. 8K wired and a better coating, which might just be because of the color I chose, aren’t worth it imo. Even if you’re buying new, I’d only go for the V4 Pro if you find it on sale – here the V3 Pro goes for around €100 and the V4 Pro for around €150, and tbh I’m not sure the difference is worth €50.

Happy to answer questions.

Ive been using a g502x for a while but i feel myself fiddling with the grip a lot so im not sure im really happy with the shape?

grip wise im i think fingertip? i tend not to put my palm on the back but have a bit of a gap from it and the rest of the mouse.

wireless is a requirement

the side buttons are a little big and sometimes my thumb clicks one in on accident which im not huge on.

i really would just need the two side buttons, im probably fine with a lighter mouse? it feels like the shape of this mouse currently isnt really what i want so im just curious what youd recommend? i saw some bits like the xm2w but i saw a lot of people say thats a claw grip thing.

i did see some tiny fingertip grip mice but i dont think that would be my thing personally

im not just swapping for the sake ive got some issues on buttons now so its time to change over.

love them about £100 but im willing to go over if you can justify

So I'm using Kysona M600 V2 right now and it's the perfect mouse for me. But I need another mouse to have two, and the problem is that Kysona no longer sells mice. I need a shape like Kysona M600, so I could just buy the Attack Shark X3, but it doesn't have a DPI button at the top. Do you have any recommendations with a DPI button at the top, good specs and the same shape or very similar? Of course, it would be best if it was an inexpensive mouse (AliExpress would be the best option).

Hey everyone! Over the past few days, I’ve been testing out the new WLmouse Beast G. Full disclosure right off the bat: InputGear sent this unit out to me for review (if you want to check it out, you can find it on their site https://inputgear.at/products/wlmouse-beast-g-standard-black-mouse?shpxid=8377917a-dc58-4db7-ad9a-d7b93f0e82a2), tough as always, all thoughts here are completely my own with zero input from them.

WLmouse decided to move away from their usual open-shell magnesium design here, opting instead for a closed microcrystalline composite shell. The goal is to keep the weight crazy low (around 37–40g depending on how many dots you throw on) while bringing the price down to a more reasonable level. Here is how it’s been holding up so far.

Shape & In-Hand Feel If you’re already familiar with the Beast lineup, you’ll feel right at home. The shape is super dialed-in and way more versatile than it looks at first glance: the mid-hump gives your palm solid support without locking your hand into one specific grip, while the slightly tapered sides give your fingers natural places to rest. The front profile is fairly low and aggressive, which is great for fingertip micro-adjustments. Personally, it feels amazing for claw and relaxed claw (or pure fingertip if you have larger hands or go for the Mini version).

Build Quality & Coating Even without the magnesium shell, the closed body feels surprisingly solid—squeezing the sides pretty hard yields zero creaking or flex. Compared to magnesium, you can definitely tell the sidewalls are a touch less rigid and you lose that cold metal feel, obviously, but the coating has a slightly rubberized grip that sticks well to your hand (unless you have super dry hands). One small quality-of-life feature I really love is the side LED indicator, making it super easy to check battery status without opening anything up.

Clicks & Scroll Wheel (The main caveat) It uses Kailh V2 optical switches. They feel very crisp, tactile, and spammable, just slightly heavier than Omron opticals.

• Honest note on the main clicks: If you click directly over the switches, they feel great. However, if you tend to click further up toward the front edge of the triggers, the plastic flex becomes noticeable, introducing a bit of extra pre-travel and side-to-side wobble. This is definitely where you lose some of that tank-like solidity compared to their magnesium models.

• Side buttons & scroll: The side buttons are large, separated, and sit right where my thumb naturally rests with barely any pre-travel. The scroll wheel has light, subtle steps and a soft, easy-to-press middle click (nothing like those stiff scroll clicks on some other budget lightweight mice).

Accessories & Skates The unboxing experience is stacked: you get the cable, dongle, 2 sets of grip tape, a set of full-size skates, and around 20 white PTFE dots. My only gripe with the stock dot placement is that they sit a bit too far back. If you’re heavy-handed—especially on glass pads—the mouse can tilt forward slightly. Adding one dot to the very front and back fixes this immediately, though the adhesive on the stock dots isn't the strongest.

Sensor, Battery & Web Driver Under the hood, it’s the trusty 3950 sensor—flawless tracking, zero issues in-game. WLmouse’s Web Driver is awesome: a single, clean page with everything you actually need (DPI, polling rate, LOD, debounce, etc.) without having to install bloated background software.Quick note on early batches: Some initial units had a firmware quirk where waking the mouse from sleep would trigger an accidental left-click, though WLmouse has already pushed a firmware update via the web driver to address it. Battery life at 1000Hz has been great so far, dropping only about 5% after nearly 10 hours of use.

TL;DR: Incredible shape, featherweight, stacked accessory box, and a super clean web driver. You don't get the rock-solid click rigidity of their pricier magnesium mice (especially if you click near the tip of the buttons) and you'll want to tweak the stock dot placement if you press hard into your pad, but for the price, it’s a killer ultralight option.

I have tried EloShapes, but unfortunately they don't seem to include battery capacity in their filters.

After some research, it seems that Rapoo's VT3s, VT1 and VT0 are the lightest ones, with 49g.

I would appreciate more suggestions, regardless of the shape.

I’m currently looking to replace my DeathAdder V2 Mini with a wireless mouse. I’ve seen the A7 V2 Ultra highly recommended, but I’ve also come across comments suggesting that its mechanical switches only last a few months. I don’t want to buy something that will only last that long, especially since I’ve had my current mouse for four years.

What would you recommend? In my city, it’s priced at $66, and importing it from abroad would be significantly more expensive.

Long time Zowie user here. I'm currently using an FK2-B, but it is almost 10+ years old and I'm thinking of going wireless. I am very satisfied with Zowie mouses, so I'd like to stick to the brand.

My main concern is the S2. In the pictures I like how the front buttons sits higher and I like the shorter look of the mouse, but I can't imagine how it would feel in my hand in real life.

I compared both mouses on eloshapes.com and the size of the S2 doesn't look extremely different for me, this is why I'm considering it as the potential successor of my FK2.

I see the S2 is shorter a bit and the hump on the back is a few mm larger, but since the mouse is shorter, the hump would sit far away from my palm, isn't it? So it could support both fingertip and hybrid claw and I could switch the grip if I'd like to? I mean I am a fingertip player, but I wouldn't mind trying the hybrid grip if the situation demands it. With the FK2 hybrid grip is impossible for me and sometimes I feel like I need it (I don't know, but maybe about in 5-10% of the total actions).

I have some mouses from the past for reference:

* Zowie ZA13: The rear hump was too big/agressive for me. It was constantly in touch with my palm and I didn't like that it restricted my finger movements, especially when I was trying to pull back the mouse with my fingers.

* Logitech G305: This is actually my portable business mouse, but it seems close to the S2 regarding in sizes. I mean it's shorter, yes, but the shape of the hump seems almost the same on eloshapes, however the hump is more flat towards the sides. I wonder if S2 would feel similar in hand. I tried it for gaming (=short term experience) and I felt this shape comfortable, only the flat side of the mouse is what I don't like on it. The hump on it doesn't touch my palm normally, only when I pull back the mouse enough with my fingers, so there is a little bit of play and that's what I like it on this mouse. The higher sitting front buttons compared to the FK2 is just a tiny bit more comfortable for me, but honestly I wouldn't notice anything it if it was not a direct comparison. Or it's maybe not the height, but the flatter angle of the front what I feel, I'm not sure...

* Steelseries Sensei RAW: It perfectly fills my hand. It gives a natural palm grip. Boom! Just like that. - Back in the time I was kinda like the feeling of it, but I just didn't like this grip for gaming. This was the point when I realized I need a different mouse for a different grip and I ended up on ZA13 and later on FK2.

So based on these, what do you think? Should I try the S2? It is so hard to decide, because there is no demo store in my area and the shapes doesn't look that different in paper.

My hand size is 18,5x10 cm and I play FPS games.

I currently want to replace my Teevolution Terra Pro, as i feels like it isn't good enough for FPS game i play like CS2, Valorant, R6, etc.
I would like something similar to a G PRO X superlight 2 as i dont have enough money on me to buy a real one rn. Could you guys recommend me some of the best model right now and explain why pls.
Ps: Ty

I love how a trackball keeps spinning after you give it a flick, and I wanted that on my MacBook’s trackpad. I couldn't find anything that does this, so I made a little menu bar app called Coast.

How it works:

• Flick and lift: the cursor keeps gliding and slows down like a ball under friction.

• Touch the trackpad: it stops dead, right away, even if your finger doesn’t move. It detects actual finger contact, so it feels like putting your hand on the ball.

• Flick again instantly: no delay, nothing gets swallowed.

• Mice aren’t affected. It only applies to the trackpad, so a regular mouse or trackball plugged in works normally.

I just put out version 2.0:

• Rewritten as a native Mac app. It’s under 1 MB now and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel.

• Stays smooth during games and full-screen streams. macOS Game Mode used to make the glide choppy, and it doesn’t anymore.

• Glide and flick sensitivity are sliders now, so you can tune how far it rolls and how hard you have to throw it.

• A glide into the edge of the screen slides along it or stops.
