Where are you getting 8 us from? Your own source of latency tests from the description shows roughly 80-90 us of latency.

Same difference

[@MIKEx2112]

Hey Bro.......That comment was not only unwarranted .... But was .....Shocking !!!

[@newguy1122]

the official testing with ldat showed .77 microseconds. The background where it shows 8 is something completely unrelated to latency

[@Duckleeng]

@@newguy1122 8 us references the thumbnail/description/stuff he said in the video, I'm also pretty sure you mean 77 microseconds (not .77 microseconds), anyways what "official testing" are you talking about?

[@Donkie]

I bought the Lamzu Maya and this, I had never used a an endgame gear mouse and after trying out both I returned the Maya, mostly due to the coating, I think the Maya shape is great and felt comfy but the more I used it. I never felt "locked in" don't know if its because it felt more like a light toy. But the op1 coating just made it feel super premium and my aim felt a lot more stable even with my hands being 19x10 the op1 is amazing and its a tank.

i feel like this is the reason why the xm2w wasn't released at all. they were trying to get the lowest click latency but couldn't do it with wireless? idk I'm rambling.

[@VIVIAN81]

Hope they refresh the xm1r, also hopefully other companies start doing dav3 and op1 8k style releases. The 4k wireless/8k wired gimmick is really dumb when the whole point of using wired is you get less weight and its cheaper, so buying an expensive and heavier wireless mouse with the option to use 8k wired makes no sense lol if I buy a wireless mouse I'm going to use it wireless

Got this mouse since 2 weeks now and it did replace my Sora4k and Razer Signature immediately. Not feeling like a wired mouse and Sensor performance(using 4k) and clicks are perfect. Did play like 40hrs of CS and had 2 times issues with Mouse1 click jamming causing rapid fire.It was like switch did stuck. Need to play around with those trigger settings to find the perfect one for me. Now looking for a bungee to make the setup complete. 8K testing once my Dell aw2725dw will arrive :)

[@ArthurKlucznik]

if you got the buttons set to speed mode, its a bug where you would get the "rapid fire" effect. Apparently they are aware and will push a fix soon

[@allankerr182]

hello i was wondering how you got the adhesive off the bottom of the mouse after you changed skates mine has been like superglue

[@notme1290]

Heat it up with a hairdryer carefully it should loosen the adhesive and then make sure you fully scrape off any of the residual glue under before spying your new skates

[@buinn3700]

To anyone hesitant about buying the mouse because its wired, I recommend if you have a bungee to try using your wireless mouse while its plugged in. In my opinion there isn't any difference and wired mice are still very useable.

[@_fiftyseven_]

This will very likely be my next mouse simply due to the fact that it's wired. 0 latency, 0 charging hassle and pretty much perfect size and shape for my grip, pretty much the best mouse for me under 100$.

The mouse is perfect, so precise , click buttons is perfect, and I performed much better of my old mices! But Im with a big problem! I let my ring finger relaxed close my middle finger , after 10 minutes, starts to hurt my ring finger, like a burning friction on skin and bone pain, even with the grip tape thats come with the mice! Im Very desapointed because is so perfect but this is killing me! Some ideias? A thicker and more slippery grip tape could solve this? Im think on return It and sooo Lost to get other mouse !

[@shawnstubblefield1902]

@boardzy I was hoping to get your feedback on my issue with the op18k. I have a email in to the support staff of end game gear. I have had to stop using the op18k when playing Fortnite. For about a week I am getting major fps drops and stutters when using the op18k on Fortnite. Previous to this I was able to play without fps drops or stutters at 8k polling. I tried changing to a lower polling to no avail. I have re downloaded the software that didn't help my issue.

[@boardzy]

So on 1k you’re getting fps drops and stutters? That is super weird I would guess system instability but that usually only causes issues on high polling rates

[@shawnstubblefield1902]

@@boardzy Yes at the moment I switched back to a Lamzu Atlantis mini 4k polling rate no stutters or drops. Only tested on Fortnite as that is all I play. Waiting on response from end game gear support. What is really weird is I set up OP18k using reviews from yourself and aimadapt. For the first month of ownership op18k was flawless at 8k polling on Fortnite. This issue started about a week ago.

[@QoraxAudio]

As someone who likes custom keyboards, I really like the idea of swappable switches on mice! I'm currently using a Razer Viper 8K wired mouse, but this could be a great successor: more of the same, but better. What I also like about this Endgame mouse: IT DOESN'T HAVE THAT TACKY RGB CRAP! 😁 Btw, How is the construction? No cheap creaking plastic like Logitech mice have?

In regard to the wire I am not saying it is deal breaking but you can certainly feel it especially if it is dragging on the pad like it is in the review.

There is one way to have absolutely zero wire feel. It's by fixing it to your wrist. You can achieve this by running the cable through a gaming sleeve or through a wrist band of some sorts.
