Can A Budget Mouse Get Any Better Than This? - Scyrox V8

[@Gen3DTech]

I have had a V8 for two months and it has held up well. I got a 2nd one recently and it is all perfect QC. The shape really works for me and this is my favorite mouse of 2024 do far.

[@No-ub5ju]

why'd you get a second one, if u dont mind me asking ?

[@clairvoyance7424]

when u do review

[@Gen3DTech]

@@No-ub5ju The first one I got is a black unit and it is a finger print magnet. I really hate how it makes the mouse look gross. So I got a yellow unit which does not have that problem. I recommend the yellow as it is light like the black unit with most the finger print issue. The white unit has an extra UV coating to prevent yellowing so it will end up weighing a little more than the other two colors. Plus I think the yellow just looks good.

[@No-ub5ju]

@@Gen3DTech i see, i guess that means the coating on the mouse isnt ideal

[@Gen3DTech]

@@No-ub5ju I like the coating on the yellow unit.

I've been seeing nothing but hype for the Scyrox on Twitter! Great review as always

[@Merkeebs]

Awesome review! Been using the yellow Scyrox V8 for a week and I've been loving it since the shape is right up my alley being really close to the X2H Mini It's a solid performer that's easily taken the spot as my budget mouse king of 2024 😁

[@hinchlikescake7592]

NIce, looks solidly built and has all the latest specs and decent coating. Going to get the yellow to match my keyboard keycaps.

[@DailyTechNeeds]

Awesome. Finally it's out. As expected, great review. Thanks.

[@mjrmonkey]

The mouse is an absolute killer, as someone who loved the x2h mini this is an awesome upgrade

[@JereKahkonen]

Would have been nice to see the click latency results from this mouse, maybe add it in for future comparisons?

[@WolvesZ]

the packaging is fire

[@mauriciocs2]

Keep hearing performance of the Scyrox is amazing. I wonder if the old Sora 4k performance has improved. Love that shape ... might see if a frankenstein is possible (sora 4k/scyrox internals).

[@wangmingchu1379]

three issues with the v8. battery only lasts around 30ish hours on 1k/w game mode on, very slippery coating compare to fnatic maya, and included skates are the worst i've ever used. overall i'm happy with it.

[@theplotthickens6313]

I’ve tried both the x2h and x2h mini and this honestly might just be the right shape and size for me lol!

[@ianarmstrong6603]

really enjoying my scyrox atm. everything feels spot on with it! the skates i had where terrible tho. they where on a brown paper unlike your blue in vid so could be different :/

[@dnleet]

mine was on brown paper too, and they were scratchy so i replaced them instantly. also, did your copy come with the full skates pre-installed? mine did and in this video aimadapt's copy came witt the skates seperated. tho i dont have any complaints about the mouse other than the skates.

am i trippin or do the omron opticals have a sharp high pitched echo on basically every mouse? Isnt it annoying to hear?

[@gaetnus7423]

it does have a slight metallic "ping" i have heard it on my sora v2, atk x1 but it does not really bother me.

Which do you prefer? Vxe mad r major or scyrox v8

[@davey5807]

that will depends on your hand size i have small/medium hand size scyrox v8 fits me will if your hand is around much bigger go with vxe mad r major instead

[@Bb4s.199x]

Which do you prefer? Mad R Major / Scyrox V8 🙏🏻

[@PewPewChef]

@AimAdapt this mouse or the mad R major? I use a relaxed pincer grip on my lamzu maya currently.

[@BassFraud]

Can you test the latency of this vs Mad R Major to find the meta ?

[@AimAdapt]

The numbers should be near the same. They are both using the same 8k compx firmware solution and I believe they both have the same Nordic 52840 mcu. I can not get the Xlat to work properly with the omron opticals unfortunately to test them.

[@kalor_2296]

@@AimAdaptmaybe the mouse is just not performing well? Why would you assume the xlat was faulty?

[@AimAdapt]

@@kalor_2296 Because it is happening on other mice that I test using the Omron opticals. The Xlat system doesn't work with every mouse out there, for example it wasn't working with any mouse using Compx until they updated the firmware. I run into this issue often with other mice.

[@petermadach]

too bad they didnt include a set of grips in the box. other than that, seems quite good.

[@henrikw377]

Great review, thanks! A couple of stupid questions: - Do I need to use the dongle if I'm fine with 1000 Hz polling rate? - What's the best way of charging it? Assuming I use the dongle, I guess I can just unplug the dongle and use the same cable?

[@Accuaro]

The quality to price is shocking, to say the least. Also how tf did they get it so light without holes AND be sturdy af. Great mouse. EDIT: 7:01 also for some reason I perform better with motion sync + ripple control enabled.

[@z4nn1ch]

Nice, finally a bit better quality version of Cooler Master MM711 and MM712. For my hands the most comfortable shape.

[@asddfjkkl]

hey, just wanted to ask, are the sides of the v8 flatter than that of the sora v2?

[@thiefsleef6752]

Please make another gaming mouse tier list!

[@kyroslangen618]

that scales tells me you like coffee too :p

[@Mog780]

Did you remove the sensor ring from the bottom of the mouse? Ive found that removing that on a glass pad tends to scrath a little.

[@AfifFarhat-ou2vu]

This or mad r major dual 8k 36g for smaler hand??

[@flygeani]

would you prefer this more or lamzu atlantis mini, i m really curious.

[@AimAdapt]

I do prefer the Atlantis mini but mostly due to the shape.

[@iuliani1663]

Any way of finding out what exactly changes from Normal Mode to Game mode in terms of performance specifically?

[@AimAdapt]

I believe it is the same as the peak performance mode that utilizes full power to the sensor but that is not confirmed.

[@iuliani1663]

@@AimAdapt dunno, I tweeted Scyrox and got no input at all..

[@vahlah5205]

how similar is it to vxe r1

[@---ib4ww]

I have a white copy and the right click is much louder than the left click. It’s the same in the video. So I guess that's normal

[@seano.2765]

Nice! How does it compare to Ajazz AJ159 Apex. Sensor, specs and components seem to be similar but Ajazz comes with charging dock.

[@lucasferreira433]

Hi, I have the 159 apex and I'm still considering buying the scyrox. My aj159 apex has some sensor/signal problems where it gets stuck or slowed down for a slight second. Definetely some QC problems. Maybe ajazz fixed in the new batches. You would get better battery life with the aj 159 apex, but also more weight. I would go straight with the scyrox to avoid any QC problems

This mouse or the MAD R major?

[@jarencecrisostomo9664]

From what I've heard and read, Scyrox is a "budget sub-brand" of Lamzu.

Many people are saying that, but as of now no proof of this have been provided.

[@Criptaike]

​@@mikerzisu9508 The V8 and x2h v3 got the same tech, pulsar modifed the 3950 so you could change the dpi by 10increments and boosted it a little bit. The V8 is 39g compared to 53, has the 8k dongle included and the pulsar don't, that's an additional 30$ and now it's basically 130$ compared to the 63$ V8 on ali. Gonna be a hard buy if the scyrox holds up, it's basically the same mouse. (in between of x2h/x2h mini)

First and most importantly, 8K mouse with 250mAh battery, it'll last a day's game play he says ...but battery will inevitable degrade and in no time at all, it'll NOT last a day and require charging mid-game ! A 500mAh battery at 42g would be more logical. Secondly, the hyping of Omron optical switches ...but no mention of origin of manufacture........that's BS and irrelevant as there's great difference between ChinRons and JapRons. There's a much more stringent of manufacturing tolerance with Japanese Omrons, the ChinRons are shite and will fail right after the warranty. Thirdly, the price is too high. Better mouses (as in mechanical with mice as in vermins) can be purchased at a cheaper price. Finally, what is this video abourt ? "These mice were sent out to me, however.....my own words and opinions", my backside. This is nothing but a pre-production PR Marketing video and what he received are demo models ! Who is he trying to kid ?
