Help A mouse for spending hours studying (with a good gaming sensor)

2 Upvotes

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?

Question what mouse is actually gonna be decent for me?

1 Upvotes

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

Mouse recommendation

1 Upvotes

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).

Help Wireless Upgrade from Zowie FK1

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

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.

Question Is the MCHOSE A7 V2 Ultra worth it?

0 Upvotes

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.

Question Should I go with Zowie S2 or just stick to FK2?

1 Upvotes

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.

Giveaway Mac app that makes the trackpad feel like a trackball (flick it and it keeps rolling, touch it to stop)

1 Upvotes

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.

  • It also works in games that capture the mouse, and in game streaming.

It’s free and open source (MIT), macOS 12+:
https://github.com/seastwood/coast

Curious what you all think. If you use a trackball and a trackpad, I’d love to know if the glide feels right or if the friction needs tweaking.

Question Upgrading from Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 to Logitech PRO X3 Superstrike – Worth it?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm currently using the GPX2 and I love the shape, but I've been eyeing the new PRO X3 Superstrike primarily because of the switches. The clicks on the GPX2 feel a bit too stiff and loud for my taste, and I'm really drawn to the quieter, haptic nature of the inductive HITS switches on the X3.

For those of you who made the switch (pun intended) or tested both:

How do the haptic clicks actually feel in-game compared to traditional/optical switches? Does it feel mushy or satisfying?

Is the upgrade worth it just to get a quieter and more customizable click feel, considering the shape and weight are practically identical?

Appreciate any thoughts or experiences!

Review 2 Week Review of ATK Phantom

Post image
5 Upvotes

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.

Review | Text WL MOUSE Beast G M after three weeks, coming from a cheap office mouse

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

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.

Question Mouse recs?

1 Upvotes

I have been using an op1 8k for a while now and i absolutely love it. Shape, switches, response time yada yada its awesome. I am however looking at getting a second mouse, preferrably wireless, to rotate between. My aftermarket op1 wire has been having occasional disconnection issues which isn’t an issue for kovaaks but in longer ranked sessions it can be poorly timed and kinda annoying.

I play pretty standard claw and I have 19.5x11 hands. I am really interested in the G-wolves mice but definitely open to other brands. Not a huge fan of mice with a gazillion holes in the shell (other than the bottom of course). Any recs? Thanks in advance!

Question Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical battery life in Bluetooth mode (no RGB) - should I RMA it?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

For those using the Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical in Bluetooth mode with RGB turned off - how long does a full charge actually last for you?

I got mine on Tuesday evening and charged it to 100% right away. When I turned it on Wednesday to start using it, it had already dropped to 97%. Now it's Sunday, and it's down to 78%.

Razer advertises around 6 months of battery life, yet at this rate, it looks like I won't even get a full month out of it. Is this normal real-world drain for this mouse, or does it sound like a defective battery that I should return/RMA?

Thanks!
