After trying out a lot of different mice over the years, I can confidently say that this mouse is one of the best made that I have ever tried. The build quality on the mouse is phenomenal, with no creaking or any points where the mouse feels cheaply made. There are a lot of thoughtful touches on this mouse that not many others do, with the stock skates allowing for easy access to the screws that allow the mouse to be opened up. The mouse clicks are hot-swappable as well so if anything ever breaks, it is really cheap to repair anything that can go wrong. This mouse also is the best mouse in terms of performance. The mouse has the lowest or one of the lowest click latencies out there with each click registering in microseconds, which is basically instant. This feature is called gx speed mode. There are also a lot of features that comes with the firmware/software to help maximize the performance of the clicks and sensor. The weight is also not too bad with it coming in at around ~49.5g which is definitely considered lightweight. In conclusion, I feel like this mouse is a perfect fit for those who really want a mouse that comes in at a very respectable price with performance that shoots well above its price point. Read more
I have exclusively used a Logitech G9x for the last ~14 years for mixed gaming and productivity. At this point I've repaired and replaced just about everything on that mouse - and many things several times over. If you've never seen/used one, just know that they have a very unique shape with no modern equivalent (low/short/wide). I have tried at least a dozen different mice over the years including the G305, G502, M65, Kain 200, etc, and while all have been good mice - none of them felt very comfortable or natural in my hand. I happened to come across the Endgame OP1 recently and despite being unfamiliar with the brand and the mouse having a rather uninspiring appearance, based on the specs I decided to give it a try (corded, non 8k, non RGB). I have been very pleased and impressed with this mouse, so much so that I bought another and am looking at other products from the company. The most outstanding trait for me is the OP1's ergonomics; while I've read it was designed for smaller hands, it feels really comfortable in my XL ones and preferred fingertip grip due to the shape of the sides and how it swells towards the back instead of getting narrower like so many others. Other significant positives: the side switches are well placed, the material is grippy and resistant to scratching, the skates are very well thought out, the shell is designed to be easily taken apart, the DPI etc is saved onto the mouse itself instead of requiring SW, there's plenty of room inside to add weights if needed, and the cord comes out at an angle which really helps to reduce the drag when moving. One quirk I noticed is while stock main switches (Kailh GX) are on the lighter side, the side switches are quite heavy. I suspect this is deliberate as you don't want the sides to get accidentally pressed, but the contrast gives the mouse a slightly mismatched feel at first. On the subject of switches, I also tried the OP1 hot swap switch kit with my preferred TTC Gold 60m but because TTC (and all other) switches have slightly different specs I found I would need to shim each one individually to make the clicks feel solid - went back to the stock ones for now, may revisit this later. If I had to pick something about the OP1 that I don't like, it would be the scroll wheel. The middle click travel is very short, it lacks tilt switches, the wheel is small and sits very low in the shell, the placement is a bit to far forward in a fingertip grip such that I find myself rubbing the plastic behind the wheel when scrolling, and while the encoder (TTC White/silver, 9mm) is a good one it's a bit smoother and lighter than I'd prefer. I also noticed that the mouse don't balance quite right; because the whole thing weights just 50g the cord makes it want to pivot under my hand in a light grip. I fixed this by adding a 8g weight to the rear of the mouse on the inside to counter the pull of the cord and now it balances perfectly. Do keep in mind these are extreme nitpicks from someone who's been using a G9x for the last ~14 years. Overall I'd give the OP1 a 9.5/10 and recommend it to anyone looking for a solid fingertip/claw mouse. Read more
coming from a Logitech G600 MMO gaming mouse, switching to the OP1 8K was definitely a big transition—especially when it comes to weight. The build quality has been excellent. No creaks, no double-click issues, no sensor hiccups. The coating and feet have also held up way better than I expected after daily use. Tracking is smooth, clicks are crisp, and the 8K polling makes everything feel incredibly snappy, especially in fast-paced games. I will say that not all games work smoothly with the 8K polling rate, so you do need to manually change the polling rate, which is done easily from their software. Read more
Everything about the mouse is great especially for what your paying for I feel like a lot of people just overhype this mouse a bit to much just because of the pricing and how long the latency is which are all pros. The only thing I can say about this mouse is that I really hated the mouse scroll wheel because it just felt like any old cheap wired scroll wheel that you feel on a school desktop. The side buttons were alright but definitely to me tacky. I’m coming from using a WL beast mouse mini pro. Beside that I’m not much of a wired type of person but I did like how the wire goes up instead of down. Lastly, great mouse but just not for me because of how the button feels and scroll wheel I’ll be reviewing the razer viper v3 pro next. Comfort it’s great, it functions pretty well for the most part and it is accurate Read more
I came from a heavy Logitech G305, which felt like an old Cadillac from the 70's. This is so much lighter, more nimble, the clicks feel so snappy, and the cable is perfect. There's 0 lag and so far the durability seems great. Software was easy to set up and is very lightweight. The usability isn't super great, and there isn't as much flexibility in the software, but thats fine as a trade off. There are tons of other features that I'm not using, but it's great nonetheless.
