If you're reading this I know cast manual breathing on you

[@sdog_]

I got a light! Still learning how to use it best, and still on my phone but hopefully will start seeing some improvements :)

[@BemoIII]

clicked for the gundam

[@sdog_]

I need to get a new kit, I haven't built one in a few months

[@NikoCousin]

Needs more cowbell

[@leogabonadajr.5716]

u deserve more subs!

[@sdog_]

tysm :DDD

[@MrNoodleDoodle.]

Another banger

[@sdog_]

ty friend

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

Left a like for the algorithm

[@sdog_]

Thank you gang. The shape is definitely great, I understand that the wire is hard to get behind though haha.

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

@@sdog_ I'm actually okay with with a wire. I'm still on the fence really. Looking at both in my Amazon cart right now. 😅

[@sdog_]

@@ThePlantedTankTV I think both are great, but I would definitely recommend the 8k. I know EGG has some new stuff coming out soon as well.

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

@@sdog_ I can't wait to see their new offerings. They are definitely way up their on my list for gaming peripherals. I adore the new Razer stuff. But I've been looking for THAT mouse for a long time now and haven't found it yet. Been maining the XM2we and been loving it but with my dry hands the coating is very slippery and there aren't any grips for it that aren't thick af. Drives me nuts 😂

[@sdog_]

@@ThePlantedTankTV Yeah coating can be really annoying. I'm someone who is extremely picky when it comes to coating, I really like pulsar super grips and xraypad cicadas. I prefer just the universal ones instead of the ones that are cut for specific mice though.

[@bpxterry]

Yessir that is my current mouse! Also have the OP1we but its been buggin out 😢

[@sdog_]

@@bpxterry Oh no! You should get in contact with EGG, I’m sure they will help you sort it out!

[@afrofly5977]

What kind of issues? With the sensor?

[@bpxterry]

​@@afrofly5977 Noo I have left click / side button issues with mine. Prob got unlucky with mine.

[@ryancarricaburu9748]

🎉🎉🎉

[@lemonke5341]

went from the g402 to this mouse its literally 3x lighter and my aim feels much faster since im a low sens paid 13100 yen (81USD) it arrived 15 hours after ordering (crazy)

[@sdog_]

@@lemonke5341 my close friends are still using old logitech mice, I’ve been trying to convert them for the past couple of months to get something more competitive. Glad you enjoy it brother!

[@cosmin.8432]

a wireless version of this would be crazy good

[@sdog_]

@@cosmin.8432 they actually do make a wireless version of this mouse, it’s the OP1we. However, that one is only 1k HZ and is a little heavier at 58.5 grams but the shape is identical.

[@Payro]

What about scroll? Is it somehow acceptable?

[@sdog_]

@@Payro sorry I forgot to touch on this! Its a rubber ring wheel and it feels great

[@mariusdanielviziteu7935]

does it work with 240hz? ZOWIE XL2546K 240 or should to use 4k

[@sdog_]

You can still use 8k hz at 240hz, it's only a marginal increase above 240hz

[@thatdudetony]

So I have a 144hz monitor, a 3070 GPU so putting this mouse on 4k or 8k wouldn't really do anything or would it? Or am I just better getting the non 8k version and just getting the 1k version they have for like 60 bucks. What ya think is best?

[@sdog_]

I would still go with the 8k. The benefit isn't quite as much at 144hz compared to 240hz or higher, it's definitely still noticeable, and I would imagine your system will be able to handle the higher polling rates just fine compared to my dated hardware (1080, 8th gen i7)

[@thatdudetony]

@@sdog_ I appreciate the response and info.. I think you helped me make my choice.. I'll definitely be getting this mouse. Thank you, and awesome review!

[@sdog_]

@@thatdudetony No problem and thanks for the kind words! The mouse and the people behind it are amazing so I hope you enjoy it as much as I have :D

[@thatdudetony]

@@sdog_ I definitely plan on loving it haha. I've watched damn near every review on this mouse, and you were one of the few that mentioned the 4k-8k with 240+hz monitor stuff. So that was very helpful, then of course your reply to my question sold me. So thank you.

[@sdog_]

@@thatdudetony Awesome, enjoy brother!

[@sethviews]

What’s the mousepad? And is it more of a control pad?

[@sdog_]

The pad in the intro b-roll is the Kanami x Plus collab which is a control pad, the one you see on my desk throughout the review is Kurosun Samurai which is a balanced pad :)

[@sethviews]

@@sdog_ tysm! 💙

[@sej9412]

Review the gundam

[@rc8101]

I saw this guy outside of Tim Hortons once he kept knocking over a homeless guys spare change cup with his foot and laughing when the hobo had to scramble to pick up all the coins it was really screwed up tbh

[@sdog_]

@@rc8101 👍🏼

[@1dragcs]

Older hardware causing issues with 8K polling? not heard of that before can you elaborate?

[@sdog_]

The higher you go with polling rate on a mouse the more taxing it is on your CPU. At 8000hz your CPU is processing 8 times the amount of data that it would be processing at 1000hz, which can cause frame drops and micro-stutters which is where the bottlenecking come in. For older hardware like mine (8th gen i7) that isn't well optimized, it's pretty much unplayable at 8k. I think that if I were to reset my computer and optimize it properly I might be able to get better performance, but I think it's time for me to do an upgrade regardless. Hopefully that makes sense.

[@1dragcs]

@@sdog_ Yeah totally makes sense. I agree that it reports back 8x as much as a 1000hz mouse but didn't think it would be as demanding. I've got a 9700k and 1070 (also due an upgrade). Haven't had the chance to get a 8k mouse yet but good to know that its likely to be a bottleneck so best to hold off on it.

[@sdog_]

@@1dragcs Yeah, 4k would probably work fine for you, but 8k can really only be taking advantage of with very high refresh rate monitors (like over 380hz)

[@greippuli9166]

Its funny though that 8000 hz isonly 0.000008Ghz, and these days most processors run at 4.5 Ghz or higher... like why does 4k and 8k have such a big of a performance hit

[@sdog_]

@@greippuli9166 Yeah, I honestly am not sure, that is kinda the limit to my knowledge I have on it lol

[@SSahkurah]

will you review the Glsswork Kazemi when it releases?

[@sdog_]

Yeah, I'm planning on picking it up. Also have a review of the Kanami Plus, Kurosun Samurai, Wallhack Yume in the pipeline as well for pads :D

[@SSahkurah]

@@sdog_ nice :) i heard the new wallhack sp-004 is pretty good. Im also waiting for the Artisan Key 83 to release. The current reviews speak highly of it.

[@sdog_]

@@SSahkurah I really want to try out all the new artisan pads, type-99 launch was a disaster so I wasn't able to pick one up :( I hope that the key83 will be better.

[@SSahkurah]

@@sdog_ would love to see a key83 review

[@sdog_]

@@SSahkurah Hopefully I can get my hands on one 🙏

[@sej9412]

does it work with 280hz?

[@sdog_]

Will work fine with 280hz

[@ZeroChoices]

got mine for 3200 php or around 75 cad I love the mouse

[@sdog_]

Wow! That's a crazy deal. Glad you enjoy it!

[@connoryaps]

recommend the viper v3 pro? or anything else

[@sdog_]

I can't speak on the vv3 pro because I don't own it. I would like to pick one up eventually but it's very expensive. I do know that it has been very well received by a majority of the community, but I can't comfortably give you my recommendation on it yet.

[@PrincessRiza]

👀 Think keyboard

[@sdog_]

The think 6.5 V2 has been my end game. I really want to experiment with HE keyboards but it's hard for me to justify it with how much I adore this board.
