Budget Ergo Greatness (Zaopin Z2)

[@Sunman_85]

I have been waiting for weeks for someone to test this mouse. I did not expect to see the first review from my favourite tester. The day started well, i ordered a white one. Thanks for the work you do, it's irreplaceable. Greetings from Hungary!

[@sukpoiu]

Apparently the Z2 was designed before the Z1, which is why the Z1 has more options & lower weight. Also Zaopin confirmed a z2 mini is in the works, which should be closer to Z1 in terms of weight and available options. Would be cool to see a Z2 pro as well.

[@Theone.fitness]

Best reviews hands down. Instantly subbed.

[@zachzhao4477]

the double clicking on my piece was crazy, had to open it up and tighten the screws myself

[@JoseAntNS]

Finally, thank you very much! I was considering this Z2 since the VGN Dragonfly R1 is too flat for me. I need a toller mouse

[@MydenYT]

The reviews just keep getting better and better 🔥

[@AimAdapt]

Thanks King!

[@xboxbenny]

Amazing review from someone who clearly knows their stuff. Ordered one last night and now I feel like I could mod it if I wanted to at some point

[@jonathasfrez]

Your reviews are so good.

[@MitchSilva37]

Id been waiting for a steelseries prime clone for acouple years now. Ive got one on order, cant wait for it to arrive. The weight is my only concern, ill be swapping the battery out for a smaller one straight away

[@janfrog]

Got mine last week. Love the shape so far. Only complaint is my switches were cooked after a few days without any heavy use. Clicks wouldn't actuate consistently (don't think it's a double click issue, they would just repeatedly actuate several times rapidly). Luckily I remembered they was hotswappable so I'll be swapping them out! Build quality is good otherwise. I'd recommend waiting for later batches (or pro version if it comes out). I ordered mine from Aliexpress so I'm not gonna bother with a return (I ordered it before any reviews so no fault but my own).

[@stanax]

How does it handle fingerprints and oils from the hands?

[@janfrog]

@@stanax I have the red one. No issues with fingerprints since it's not glossy. It would handle oil like any other plastic mouse. Easy to wipe down and the shell feels solid.

[@Pedro-gy4ht]

@@janfrog you solved the problem in clicks changing the switches ?

[@janfrog]

@@Pedro-gy4ht kinda yes, but also no. I think my copy has a qc issue with the design of the hotswap sockets/screws causing the switches to short when the screws are tightened. Long story short I had to bend the switch stems away and towards the center (mouse wheel) so they avoided contact with the screws. I ended up removing the screws on my LMB which makes the switch unsecure, but it's not noticeable or loose when attached to the top shell. I've gotten it to work 100% with one set of switches and I don't really want to deal with further so I'm not risking opening it again lol. That being said, I really like the shape so I'm dealing with the jank set up for now. I plan to just get a new one at a later batch or if they release a pro.

[@daotpeke]

Good review. I'll wait for a pro version of this since its a really interesting mouse shape with hotswap switch

[@Defiancy]

I’ve never used an ergo mouse so this may be my chance to get em a shot

[@r99evo]

The z1 pro is my main. Incredible mouse.

[@MisterBlack84]

Besides the nice review: nice screwdriver! :)

[@C.G241]

I've got to say your video reviews are truely the best YOU are so Awesome!!!!

[@TheReal_FishFins]

Been looking for a review on this mouse from you for a few weeks now. The weight is a bit of a concern, but the shape is quite nice.

[@tetoqx]

it looks like a exactly like a GPRO Ergo version :D

[@alexp3577]

Do you have a review for sora v2? I’ve seen you mention it in your u2 review, but can’t find it’s own review

[@AimAdapt]

I am waiting for the 8k dongle. It isnt out yet.

[@martinborchsenius3321]

@Aimadapt I can`t download the software from the zaopin website. Can you, or any one, help me?

[@jbendg5912]

Thanks for review. Btw were you able to use both z1 and z2 at the same time while both dongles connected to pc? I connected both but only the mouse that's connected to my PC is working. The working seems like it's disabled for some reason even though both mouse is detected on the software. Also, does the 4k dongle work on Z1? Tried pairing it but it keeps on failing.

[@pranze3484]

Waiting for the pro version at 50ish g hopefully :) 65 is a bit heavy by today's standards tbh. Still using my z1 pro very often, absolutely love that mouse shape and feel

[@AuDiGo6]

You don't need superlight mouse, people are obsessed with low g but in reality anything under 70g is perfectly fine. You won't be a better player even with 40g so what's the point.

[@pranze3484]

@@AuDiGo6I perform better with a 45g mouse than a 70g one, that's the point. No need to defend your FOMO purchases, I'm patient there will be a pro version.

[@georgepierre3594]

Review the Incott hot swappable one with the 3950 sensor. those look easier to use! :3. Just released its a g pro wireless clone.

[@samster978]

where can i buy a suitable battery

[@Pedro-gy4ht]

I saw reports of problems with the switches/double click, did you have a similar problem? Another question, are the screws easily damaged when opening the mouse? Nice review my brother.

[@not_addoK]

Could you link a 100-150mah battery that has the right connector already? Wanna bring the weight of mine a bit down, trying to at least be less than 60 grams!

[@not_addoK]

Disregard, I got it! Thanks anyway

[@jens468]

solid review my man, just ordered a red copy

[@giauaa_Ymother]

Hello, can the zaopin z2 mouse teeth drag click or butter fly in the game minecraft?

[@TechyGamerDad316]

8:08 Can you go back to VXE R1 Pro Max and test the latency too? I have the same exact mouse myself.

[@EpineCA]

I'd also like to know how these 2 compare

[@EnnTomi1]

still waiting a EC2 shape sub 35 gram mouse to this date............. and i had to buy ULX and WLmouseMINI coz literally nothing is that light weight atm......

[@MarceloFong]

Mine arrived today. I quite like it, not my style tho

[@kooshps2]

This is a really dumb question, but I ordered this mouse and I've never used a mouse with a receiver like this one, how does it connect?

[@stanax]

How does it handle fingerprints and oils from the hands?

[@RGR465]

this or VXE R1 pro max?

[@BassFraud]

Incott Ghero is the ergo king 👑

[@aguaranguay9841]

Do you still prefer the vxe dragonfly r1 over this?

[@finestcoffee6726]

Hello mate, I was wondering for a recommendation from you, I have almost 21x11cm hands and mostly claw or relax claw, and was wondering what would you choose as in my country the R1 pro max, xm2we and op1we have a similar price to each other. I currently main the g303 shroud and it's the most comfortable shape I've ever used, but the sensor started stuttering and being very bad and I need a replacement, also any other recommendations would be nice thanks

[@lawry1337]

can you link the 150mah battery pls

idk maybe its cuz im from germany but i cant find a 150mah 3,7v battery w 3pin 1mmall have just 2pin, except one aliexpress seller that ships in 2 whole months... surely im doing sth wrong, any idea / help?

[@TonaDV91]

Same thing, here in Croatia everything is 2 pin and no shop sells 3 pins.

[@roadhouse2]

Where do you get the 150mah from?

[@bruno100carro]

This one or the r1 pro max ?

[@xxrelaxbrotherxx]

i honestly would take the z2 cuz both have similar sensor paw3395 and z2 switches can be switch and try different switches such as huano silent switch....how many times i say too many switches🗿

is not similar to np-01 ?

Sorry should have tested it didnt think about it. Hopefully they will come out with a pro version and ill do a shape comparison.

If this mouse under 53g and under 112mm lenght or everything 10% smaller, would be a very very nice mice.

Under 112 is waaaaay too short man

@@reizanaliu you need Start using your brain in this life. U ever try to write with a pencil accurate? And than with a 4mm edding? Its definitly not the same precision. And my hand is 19.5 cm long. So not so small. And my best aim is with a mouse, i custom by my self, with 108mm long. If u has a Finger-Clawgrip style you definitly dont need large mouse! Only palm grip people with no feeling in there hands need this.

[@reizanaliu]

@@GodyArtDesign you can't even write properly, so maybe try to follow your own advice.

[@mmayojr]

Bro you need to work on some hand and wrist strength if 65 grams is a problem for you for real

[@CLingus]

your claim that the weight balance is perfect using either the 150mah (~3g) or 500mah (~10g) battery cant be true. a 7g difference at the back part of the mouse would def be a noticeable balance change.

[@WorldKeepsSpinnin]

Your mom would be a noticeable change

[@CLingus]

lol wtf@@WorldKeepsSpinnin

[@fincrattanaka4633]

china always fake and cpoy,z1 copy logi g504,and z2 copy to g703 .and it's 65gram heavy.even you mod it.just 57gram.it's for me .

[@amgits8609]

how come 65g for a mouse is a bad thing

[@fincrattanaka4633]

@@amgits8609 I currently use three main mice. gpwx mod is 44 grams, ninjutso sora mod is 39 grams, vgn f1 pro mod is 41 grams, even my g903h has been modded to 68 grams. I think times are improving. A cool mouse has advantages both for daily use and precise aiming. Maybe some professional players are still using G502. But for me. I prefer lighter ones.

[@fincrattanaka4633]

And I have ordered lightweight batteries and using them the mouse is also 3 grams lighter. I can't wait

[@RGR465]

big thanks to China for making these affordable mouses with good quality better than paying 120$+ for Logitech and Razer for their logo .
