@@turbomeows Are mouse skates essential in the use of a mouse?

[@danigheorghiu]

@@turbomeowsyes. If you buy a new mouse and, by default, you're doing a basic mod like changing switches, you need a new pair of skates. If you don't have an extra pair at hand, that's an *unusable mouse.

@@eglorious-yt yes, but mice often come with spare skates. there's also universal "dot" skates which I have ~40 of and use on all my mice.

I love that some of the smaller companies are making innovations in the gaming mouse market. Bigger companies need to take note.

[@eyb0ss]

I was using a Viper 8khz and was always a fan of the Zowie shape mice, decided to pull the trigger on the OP1 8k and have loved every minute of using it. The fact that you can swap out switches and even replace the cable with exposed screws sold me.

[@QoraxAudio]

Same here, but I changed simply because I smashed the Viper 8K to bits after a long road of frustration... its construction was gross creaking plastic, once it started creaking it started to annoy me as hell. Funny thing was that the scroll wheel double clicked straight out of the box, but started clicking normally after smashing it about for a few times lol Anyways I've binned that POS. This OP1 8K is nicely solid despite being lightweight and has some nice switches to boot! Highly recommended, especially for any custom keyboard enthusiast who likes to experiment with switches.

[@eyb0ss]

@@QoraxAudio yeah my Viper started doing the same, it got super creaky all of a sudden and nothing that I could do would fix it.

[@QoraxAudio]

@@eyb0ss Yeah that's cheap construction... I really felt ripped off by Razer, because IMO a decent construction is so basic that it should be fine on any >70 bucks mouse. Unfortunately, I had the very same type of creaking happening with a Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum I had before the Viper... also smashed that one eventually lol It looks like this OP1 won't start creaking since the top part is made out of 1 piece, so that'll last a lot longer in my hands! The wire on both my Viper and Chaos Spectrum was stiffly braided, which made placement of the bungee very finicky... this one is nicely flexible, another BIG improvement!

[@randeegunthunter1062]

Goated mouse, I can't stop using mine. Bought it as soon as it was avaliable in Australia, bought the hotswap pcb, GM 4.0s (my personal favourite switches), Jade dot skates, PXP grips and it's going to be my mouse until they make a wireless one that doesn't have optical switches.

[@mrbrightside8752]

Thanks for making this! Been looking at this mouse for a while, finally gonna pull the trigger

[@jR0xas]

This is my favourite mouse of this year so far as I have small hands, so the shape is just excellent for me. The only "downside" would be the cable but as I have a bungee I legit don't feel it at all and not having to worry about my battery draining in five seconds when constantly running 8khz is amazing ngl. That was what was annoying me on my previous wireless mice as I would just use them on 1khz because they would drain too quickly and the upside never seemed worth it to me. Coating is top notch, most responsive mouse ever and being able to put any mechanical switch on is awesome, considering I dislike how optical switches feel.

[@snottrrocket]

Had mine a little over a month and I have no complaints. It's amazing.

[@bo0t3r29]

I currently use a superlight 2, but after all the talks about the OP1 8k I bit and purchased it, it’s being delivered tomorrow so I’m excited. It’s going to be weird going back to wired but we’ll see how it performs.

[@baboowa]

Before I got a wireless mouse, I had 2x glorious O's, ducky feather and lastly xtrfy m4. ALL 4 WIRED. They all started having the exactly the same problem with the cable disconnecting within the first year. I don't know if it's because i didn't use bungee, but it was driving me insane. Then I discovered your channel and bought a darmoshark m3. It's only half a year now, but the hassle it eliminated with having to be mindful of the cable's positioning all the time is already worth it. It h That being said, 84$ for a wired mouse is ridiculous to me. I am thankful for your reviews of lesser known and cheaper brands as I would never buy a logitech gpro or anything similarly priced.

[@QoraxAudio]

I just got one yesterday, along with a pack of various switches and 100% PTFE feet. Very nice lightweight mouse and nicely basic programming software. My only two gripes with it is that you can't program multiple profiles and no multi-key macros.

[@newtc312]

Best mouse hands down for me anyway. Lightweight, great shape, top sensor and best feet. The cable is there but you don’t feel it when playing games

[@RayCrush2008]

Battery drains and wireless interference is one of the reasons I'm interested in giving up on the wireless DAV3 and go with the wired, also better coating. I've already tried the OP1 8k and unfortunately the shape wasn't for me.

[@smokeybilly]

you can change the mid and side buttons settings to (2). it'll feel flexi

[@Xeogin]

I didn't notice this the first time. This is a game changer. These are frequently becoming what wears out first on mice for me now as they're usually an after thought and I use them as something that's held down often, not just clicked, so an unintentional release causes issues. I wonder if they'll consider making alternative shaped shells. Fully customization would be amazing

[@Stelyns]

@@Xeogin Yep, I play FPS games where I NEED some things bound to the side buttons to use frequently and as quickly as possible. It's ridiculous that they're an afterthought just because they're not as necessary in some FPS games. They should feel just as good and be just as reliable as the main buttons.

[@i_am_chubs]

3:30 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NEVER REMOVE A CONNECTOR BY GRABBING AND PULLING ON THE WIRES THEMSELVES!!! You can absolutely pull those wires out of the plastic connector housing and ruin it, even if it doesn't ruin the housing getting those wires back IN the housing can be almost impossible at the best of times and honestly you should just always make sure you are pulling on the white plastic of the connector itself instead. A pair of tweezers or needle nose pliers works great for getting a good hold on the housing itself rather than heaving on the wires themselves.

[@SpoonfulOfWaffles]

I got to try this mouse and I have to agree, it's too narrow and small for some grip types. Everything else it is indeed quite good. Now Endgame Gear just needs to make a wireless ergo shape and have a proper scroll wheel that doesn't jump up and down when you scroll like on the XM2we and we're Gucci.

[@earth2baz]

It's an average shaped mouse with some nice features. The cable is good for stock but not as flexible and thin as an aftermarket paracord. The skates are okay but not as good as aftermarket skates. Some people rave about the surface but I still prefer grip tape on mine. Polling above 1k would make zero difference to your gaming performance and sensors have been flawless for years. In the end the only really great feature is its software and hot swap switches.

[@VIVIAN81]

the GX speed mode was giving me problems so I took mine back for now. When the xm2 8k comes I might give it another try and see if they've perfected the implementation Basically what would happen is I would click and it would either sustain that click even after being released, or refuse to accept any new clicks for a second or two. It would happen once every 2 or so hours of game time (approximately anyway), and it was with the latest firmware and with otherwise stock settings (also tried slam click filter on and off, didnt change)
