Fantech Helios II Pro - One of the Better Releases of 2023

The Fantech Helios II Pro is one of the better releases I have tried this year. Keep in mind, the 4000hz testing will follow this video. If any issues, will update you, but given the spec sheet I do not suspect there will be any. 1000hz performance felt good.

I have confirmed the mouse does not use a coating - it uses a specialized plastic molding which has the surface feel ingrained on the material directly.This process is actually arguably MORE expensive to do and prevents discoloration with use. Fantech really is just trying to bring BANGERS without the B.S. higher upcharge for 4K.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Also - mouse can be purchased here: t.co/JsW6vggAsR (affiliate link was given AFTER the review - also Code FRESH now gives free shipping!!)

[@DuckButtGoesKwekKwek]

Bought the mouse after seeing your review and a few others. I noticed that there's slam clicking when set to

[@HungLe-jp6ct]

another fresh review, I really like how fantech improving every single product they've made, my first fantech mouse was xd3 with kinda bad performance and qc but after aria fantech product just took it another level. From qc to build and sensor implementation everything was tremendous change

[@Fluxionn]

Great review man! Recently picked mine up and I can't wait! Been watching this video on repeat

[@whoframedthatguy]

Fantech do be cooking with this release, glad you made a review on this cause I loved watching it. Keep it up Fresh!

[@Doggie64]

hmmm.....maaaybe will get this one for actual use. woof. Thanks for the review Freshy! ❤

[@FantechWorld]

Thanks dude! You're review is banging!

[@KBTR_1987]

Waiting to get a copy! Thanks fresh! :)

[@gryphn1966]

great vid as always! this is a clean looking mouse and i cant wait to see what fantech comes out with in the future

[@FreshReviewsYT]

You and me both!

[@VeeHausen]

I still have the older model, my daughter has it now (pink). Glad to see Fantech updating this model!

[@VoltaReviews]

Hyped to pick one of these up 🔥 Looks pretty cool in black and yellow and was a big fan of their previous release, the Aria XD7!

[@FantechWorld]

We're happy to hear you like it! :D

[@zugzwang8761]

​@@FantechWorldis it not available yet in indonesia?

[@UpgradeLemonade]

Beautiful colorway, glad the performance and quality is solid, especially for the price 👍 good vid brother

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Ty! Ily

[@owlfury-beast]

Insanely hyped on this. I mained Aria for quite a bit and absolutely love the flatter side profile instead of the mouse curving inwards from top to bottom. Was thinking of Maya but with this released and my huge respect for Fantech and especially Josh (their representative) I am looking forward to just one-tap ordering this 🙃

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Josh is a fantastic human

Where i live we dont have alot of brands to buy from But we have fantech,and im loving how they are keeping up with the market while keeping the prices really good Cant wait to pick my helios up soon caz my gprox got broken xd

[@frustyxd7733]

Great video, very fan of your content!

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Tyvm I appreciate it

[@TPN_MeDS]

Looks nice.

[@Evan-xs8ts]

With the 11/11 iem sale coming up, i would like to see you try some EPZ iems. They offer great value, and i would like to see how they stack up for gaming.

[@TPN_MeDS]

Ordered with your link and shipping code

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Thanks lol. I don’t get anything from it but just wanted to link it since you guys get free shipping!

[@aversiveac6459]

What's the coating comparable to? Sorry if I missed that in the video. Excellent review also thank you.

[@CatchiestWorm12]

Can you confirm whether the new skate design is compatible with existing Zowie FK/ZA/S skates?

[@Cupcake-xw9jy]

hey would u review the fiio fh7s for gaming?

[@RedHeadedCannon]

We need companies to up their side-button game, and while they're at it, why not their scroll-wheel button game too. Make them optical or use better switches or something because my Lamzu Atlantis OG V1, Haste, X2V1 Mini and Keris Aimpoint ALL have busted side buttons especially the "back" button(I forget if it's M4 or M5). Sucks when I'm browsing pages on the interwebs and it goes back twice. In-game I know it isn't really felt that much because the actions they're bound to mostly have a "one time use" action like an ability with a cooldown, or healing items etc. But c'mon, doesn't it make sense to want those to last as long as M1 & M2?

[@circleofthytyrants]

Yo dude, I just used your code and it saved me $12 shipping! I hope this mouse suits my palm grip well.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Let’s go! Glad I could help out

[@circleofthytyrants]

@@FreshReviewsYTDamn. update and mine came in w/ the 2.4 wireless mode not working whatsoever.

[@railfans-psi]

Looks similar to Helios XD3 but with very less weight

[@RentABlackout]

That colorway looks great. What do you think about the shape vs the LA-1? Seems slightly bigger than it?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

la-1 feels longer and more narrow. The two mice feel quite different in the hand

[@honeygarparm]

What's the updated list of your top 3 mice that you would pack up and go with if you had a tournament right now?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Outset and g pro superlight 2 are on the list. Third is a toss up for sure

[@bergdk237]

4k capability, extra accessories, lightweight, good QC for 85$ that is just 🔥🔥🔥

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Yea!

[@ervinchua8407]

cannot find the 4k test vid, was it created/tested? I have an issue where sometimes it lags out or stutters for a second

[@horizonchien4948]

Mr.fresh,do u have some cable recommendation on simgot em6l with Fiio k11,plz❤

[@FreshReviewsYT]

tripowin zonie with 4.4 termination

[@tinypickle]

How are the skates? If they're worth replacing, any idea which ones would fit?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

They’re not bad! It will be pad dependent of course, but on my pad they felt good! Not better than tiger ice of course but not bad

[@user-zm4ll6yg2p]

If you had to pick X2H mini or Helios 2 Pro, which would you go with?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Tough choice. Really tough, but I think I like the x2h mini personally. Again, very subjective though

[@vladislavkapustin1520]

please review ifi uno DAC)

[@thomasre9382]

this is the zowie s2 shape i believe.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Yep!

[@DEM0NJEDI]

👀👀

[@effjay6447]

Does the hump feel similar to the atlantis mini at all?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Unfortunately don’t have one at the moment to direct compare

[@pauppey6332]

Is it worth it to upgrade from Darmoshark M3?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I’d say yes

[@TheDokoBG]

How is the battery on this mouse ? Does it last a week at 1000hz or no ?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

At 1000hz, absolutely

[@TheDokoBG]

Thank you, just ordered one !! Dont worry, i wont quote you on the batt life. @@FreshReviewsYT

[@asd123465jkl]

Do the switches feel light or heavy?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

They do not feel heavy

[@SoftPotatoable]

Hello, I got a pair of Sennheiser 560s based on your reviews and I've loved them for gaming but I've been wanting to get into IEMs as well, do you think the kiwi quartet is a good pair to start with ? I don't want the most neutral sound since I already have the 560s, just some fun iems that are also good for gaming. Love the vids

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Yea, they're quite fun sounding and good for gaming. Not a bad place to start at all

[@thaNZdon]

Or the truthear x crin zero blues

[@FreshReviewsYT]

@@thaNZdon agreed

[@SoftPotatoable]

@@FreshReviewsYT which of the 2 would you consider more comfortable ? That's my only worry with IEMs

[@tinypickle]

Sora og actually ended up hurting my wrist for some reason. Maybe the targeted hump hit me in the wrong spot. Do you think the rounded hump on the helios would work better? Weird that the x2 medium hump doesn't bother me at all then

[@FreshReviewsYT]

The Helios could work nicely

[@LogPileGaming]

Why don't we see more grey mice 🤔

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Great color right!!!!

[@demi7171]

what does the gold coin do?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I think there is something they’re doing with it later on

[@noisenoys]

Hi fr! Is there a dongle adopter included?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

At the 85$ price point yes

[@UpgradeLemonade]

​@@FreshReviewsYTCorsair not including one for $150, always remember 😂

[@FreshReviewsYT]

@@UpgradeLemonade Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg!!!!

[@Elson-Junior]

Helios 2 or vxe r1 pro ?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Haven’t used either yet

[@trunks2383]

Sora 4k just better for me tbh

[@resvoire5650]

Price difference?

[@trunks2383]

I think he said it in the vid 35$ cheaper for Helios with 4k dongle and sora, pulsar is 120 with dongle

[@YurttheSilentChief1]

As always with cheap mice, make sure you guys always PURSUE that RMA or refund request if your copy is iffy. You deserve better than subpar quality control.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

We can hope for good qc across the batches. Haven’t had an issue personally with fantech yet. Not sure about others

[@FantechWorld]

Our quality is pretty on-point ngl. Our Aria received a lot of fantastic reviews and love from the community, which we're entirely grateful for as a small company. We're cheaper not because of shortcuts taken, but because we firmly believe that there shouldn't be a "4k tax". People shouldn't be paying more for a feature that's considered standard now.
