Maybe because I'm older and grew up with a heavier mouse that had that singular heavy rubber ball and tracks, that a mouse only feels premium to me when it has weight. Even some years ago Logitech offered a mouse you could add weights to, to make it heavier. Decided to grab this and see what possibly is one of the lightest weight mice available. Out of the box its a slick design, and they weren't kidding, it's incredibly light. To the point it feels strange and breakable, even though it is actually quite durable. Connect however you want, it's got every available means. Used it to play BF6 open beta, wired of course, everything about it felt great. Buttons, scroll wheel all smooth and crisp clicks. What surprised me was the "open cage" design, under hand it actually felt cooler and more breathable. For the money it's a really great mouse, have a hard time finding anything negative about it. Feels every bit as good as my last Razer, if not better. Read more

Mouse has an issue where it will stop registering you holding down the mouse clicks. Tried 4 different firmwares up to 0.9, and it's still bugged. Searching reddit it's a known issue. Wouldn't recommend until they fix. Read more

Mamba snake and attack shark have a joint partnership. This is identical to the attack shark R5 and the IPI float. The attack shark R3 and ATK Fierce X are also the same shape but made out of magnesium. - Shape is very similar to a final Mouse medium - Skates are thin black PTFE with nicely rounded edges but are pretty small the Box comes with an extra set - coating there is no coating it is smooth plastic. It is less textured than a GPX super light I find it quite grippy. The holes in the sides are not at all a problem I usually use grip tape on Finalmouse and wlmouse products but I didn't need to on the R5 - main buttons - m1 and M2 are moderately tactile perhaps on the lighter side the sound is higher pitched and the tactile point is moderate. Omron 100m are not my favorite I plan on Switching these - side buttons - side buttons are small location is slightly forward biased and they have a somewhat sharp Ridge on them that feels noticeable - scroll wheel - scroll wheel is only a 5 out of 10 tactility and middle Mouse is spammable and stiff but quite as tactile as it could be Accessories Included usb 3.0 cable is stiff but charges fast. Grip tape is VERY grippy and color matched green well. Also includes white skates. Overall this is a very solid Mouse I would recommend this over offerings from Razor or Logitech at the same price. The $80 MSRP is quite high for what it is I would recommend getting an IPI float if cost is concern. Personally I really like the red and green colorways of the mamba snake and five. Read more

When it comes to competitive gaming, the quest for peripherals that offer an edge often leads to seeking out the lightest and most responsive equipment. Having used a fairly light gaming mouse already, I was genuinely astonished when I first handled the M5 Ultra Wireless Gaming Mouse. At a mere 39 grams, thanks to its carbon fiber construction, the difference was immediately palpable, it felt almost weightless in comparison, which is a remarkable feat of engineering. This extreme lightness immediately suggests potential for quicker movements and reduced fatigue during long gaming sessions. The unboxing experience continued on a positive note, as the mouse already includes thoughtful extras like replacement skates and optional grip attachments. This is a nice bonus, saving users the trouble and expense of sourcing these separately, and allowing for some customization of feel right out of the box. The mouse offers tri-mode connectivity, with 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired options, catering to various setups and preferences. The 42K DPI PAW3950 sensor is also a high-end specification that promises excellent tracking precision for both FPS and MOBA esports titles. In terms of wireless performance, the included 2.4GHz receiver is very good, providing a connection that feels almost as responsive and stable as a wired connection, which is crucial for gaming. However, this is where I encountered a significant point of disappointment. I was particularly bummed to discover that the advertised 8000Hz maximum polling rate is, for some reason, limited to when using this specific wireless receiver. Why would such a high-performance feature be locked to the receiver? One would assume that a wired connection, with its potential for near-zero latency and higher data speeds, would be just as good, if not better, for supporting such a high polling rate. Locking the 8K polling rate behind what feels like a receiver gimmick is a perplexing design choice. Furthermore, even if you wanted to use it in wired mode, perhaps to ensure the most stable connection or to use it while charging, the provided cable is very stiff. For a mouse this incredibly light, the stiffness of the cable introduces a noticeable drag and can even influence mouse movement, essentially adding more of a tipping point and resistance than the mouse itself possesses. Overall, the M5 Ultra Wireless Gaming Mouse is an impressive piece of hardware in many respects, especially its incredible lightness and excellent wireless performance with the dedicated receiver. The included accessories also add value. However, the decision to restrict the 8000Hz polling rate to the wireless receiver and the very stiff cable for wired mode are notable drawbacks that prevent it from being an unqualified recommendation. It’s a mouse with fantastic potential and some class-leading features, but these specific limitations are quite frustrating for users who might want to maximize performance across all connection modes.
