Gaming Mice and Mousepads I ACTUALLY Use (shocking)

yo what's good boardzy it's youtube

[@cvd1]

he's so portuguese

[@RayCrush2008]

Glad you're praising the U2, I'm about to get my hands on it very soon to replace my GPX

[@Simon.M.]

U2 is really great. Sadly slightly too big for my petite hands :( But it has really fallen under the radar for those with medium-big hands

[@kiryuakuma]

I ordered mine and it's getting here today!

i wait for not 2001 tech version, i dont feel like using mouse with ball

[@RayCrush2008]

@@erisium6988 I can't even begin to tell you how many brain cells you're missing.

[@Sheo_MIS]

my only problem with the U2 is just that I have a really wide thumb and I accidentally press the back side button sometimes when I flick I am working on getting a grip that keeps me from doing that in quick situations .

[@jgalYT]

Artisan tattoo when

[@yvngcharlz]

agree the u2 is awesome, was not expecting much and it is now my main.

[@SamiAhmed-ru4ci]

My U2 came in last week and it’s perfect. Another successful Boardzy recommendation 👍

[@Nokia_5.3]

Finally someone is mentioning the U2 after so many months 👏

[@Saiintx]

Just copped the OP1 8k based off your top mice of 2024 list, haven't been dissapointed so far! The GX Speed mode is a bit glitchy on some games but I'm hoping it can be fixed in a software update. Keep up the great content! Info is really helpful.

[@boardzy]

There is an updated firmware in endgame gears discord for the GX speed mode, idk if you've applied that

[@glashausAimz2]

i can't believe i bought this mouse, but i gave in to the peer pressure and now its my main 😂 i had issues with everything including having to switch USB port to one of these red ones and installing firmware in safemode, which i also only found because a nice reviewer pointed out to me that there's a beta version on their discord. the firmware fixed everything though. have been running it on 8k in aimtrainers and cs2 without issues at max DPI. the only gripe I have is the glue on the stock skates. it's such a pain yo remove. took me almost 10 minutes 😂

[@FasoESO]

I agree with your u2 take. Also, any plans to review hts+8k? Not huge changes from the 4k but they have def improved on QC and click feel since your 4k review.

[@Daniel_Aims]

the best skates i have tried with the hien soft are the jade donut skates. they pick up a lot more texture than dots without a major speed difference and the larger surface area feels a lot better for soft/xsoft pads

[@nickknacker3538]

As a Artisan Kou fan, I've never gotten why the Hien is so much more popular, especially because I personally dislike the extremely textured surface vs the Kous very smooth. Turning the kou sideways is like having a smooth-control hien.

[@nyabusiness693]

I feel like my Hein Mid aged far better than my Hein Soft

[@acshuley]

i feel like its the closest a cloth pad can be to a hard pad (although the raiden exists too)

[@DIOPA]

Zowie U2 gang! My true endgame

[@5pacekitty]

that mousepad looks soooooo nice!!!!

[@Confluxi]

i fuk wit my U2 but just the fact that the click latency is slower and 1000hz polling bothers me even tho its probably almost negligible diff

[@CareFreeTax]

Have you managed to get your hands on the HT-S2 yet?

[@boardzy]

nope, dont know when I will

[@YurttheSilentChief1]

I remember when he was full sized skatezy, now he's dot skatezy

Please do a video comparing artisan balanced pads (Hien, Otsu, Key-83). Why do you prefer the Hien to the others?

[@bittervalor]

i just got my hien yesterday and i’m already looking to try out a type 99

[@illusionistJG]

Ngl I do feel the latency on the zowie mice... I switched from Superlight 2/DAV3 with 4k/8k polling and knew right away that I could not deal with the click latency on the Zowie... (I play CS)

[@BLOOMdesu]

would u recommend the vxe r1 pro over the atk f1/x1?

[@emonyankitteh]

U2 is awesome but I'm really hoping they release a U3. Pls let us know if you find anything out about the other sizes boardzy!

[@killingtime3620]

Agreed. U2 is a great mouse.

[@x4agent750]

Hey, could you make a mousepad review where you take your favorite pads and put them in a bar where one side is very control and the other is very speedy? That way it shows the speed and your favorites. Different type of vid idea maybe.

[@StaySic4Ever]

Was using Zowie S1-C then was curious for U series, though not paying double because it's wireless. Got Vaxee XE wired for half the price and bundle. Lower button height really feels better for claw-ftip hybrid grip. Only thing I wish for XE is that I could disable front LED and being separate shell buttons with same switches, feel a bit lighter, especially resting on right switch. Curious to see new Artisan pads.

[@cacaulaymulkin7724]

Boardzy the GOAT of mouse reviews. Im still watching his videos even though i now consider myself to have the perfect mouse and mouse pad... Dude is just too good at reviews. He could review literal turds and I'd probably still watch his videos. "Oh the chunk to slide ratio in on par with the previous gen dinner nugget? oh yeah fair enough Boardzy"

[@woojinchun]

Is there any mouse recommendations for small hands? 17 x 9.5cm. I was looking into the razer deathadder v3 hyperspeed or pulsar xlite v3 mini. Doesnt matter if its ambi or ergo any recommendations would help. Thanks for the videos boardzy

[@howtheturntables]

Went to the WL Mouse website today and saw they have a totally new mouse coming July 30th. Looks kind of sick. (Literally JUST got my 8k beast x in the mail this morning too 😵).

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

What happened to the Vaxee NPO1S being your best shape?

[@mikediezel0923]

been using the hien soft for about a year now and it still performs the same as day one

[@Twitch_Addys0nn]

Boardzy have you tried the Corsair MM200 PRO Thick Mousemat? Its a coated control pad - People are gonna say its the slowest mousepad ever, IDK my variant is not that slow; It's plays like a slightly faster and smoother Qck Heavy. Its $35CAD on Amazon, always available and ships next day. I actually got one with damaged packaging for $18CAD... I lowkey love this mat as a budget option and am dying to hear your thoughts on it man haha

[@Stigness23]

Im always bouncing between Hyate Otsu, Zero and Hien. Waiting on the Hyate Otsu V2

[@ezergbrl]

w skates u recommend to hien soft ? i bought the jade speed.

[@Undergroundlover420]

might cop the mouse pad when it comes out

[@M1CH4L09]

i've had my u2 since it launched and i love it, i actually don't have any creaking problems so i guess i am lucky :>

[@m1kesoul]

Dude zowie u2 is my favorite. I ended up giving my friend my viper v3 pro and I don’t even touch my ulx cheetah. I love the shape so much on u2 works nice with my main game (Fortnite)

[@HOÀNGMINH-i1q]

Can u compare the u2 with the viper v3 pro ? I like both of them but i dont know what is better for me. (My handsize is 18x9,5)

[@loolgam1ng229]

Lethal Gaming Gear Jupiter Pro could be a interesting mousepad. Not to many slow/control pads these days. Not out yet i think but yeah. On the topic of the mice. Iam still waiting for a wireless Zowie ZA11 mouse

[@gamist8166]

Where that HTR hanging around? Don't blame you for not maining a crazy shape like that. Just curious cuz I pre ordered the HTR Pro coming from the HSK Pro as my main

[@Buckster5]

For the hien, you say you should use skates that bring the most out of the texture. I see you swapped to dot skates. Any recommendations?

[@Buckster5]

I’m using the Vv3 pro as well, if that helps answer the question.

[@boardzy]

Xraypad jades, tiger ice, corepads are all solid options. My video before this was on stupidly expensive dot skates, which are what I have on my u2

[@sethviews]

@@boardzyI’m rocking the Tarik medium rn on the hien soft. What skates are your personal preference for the combo? Want the most high end ones I can get.

[@Buckster5]

I watched the last video, but after dropping 160 on a mouse, I think your recommendations are more at my price point. I just swapped to the Vv3 pro after using a model O for years, and I miss the feel of those smaller mouse skates on the hien. I’ll look into the dot skates from those companies. Thank you boardzy!

[@yhiz4757]

What color would you recommend getting with the M64 ultra? I remember you saying the coating varied at one time. Also do you also know whether newer units will have different coatings or not?

[@kingkris2402]

Yo Boardzy can u try the rapoo vt9pro 4k wireless and 8k wired I found it in Amazon for $45 cad, also I'm wondering to get it or not but I can't find good videos bout it

[@notTerabyte]

weight density is considerably high, firmware is scuffed, finalmouse tier qc lottery, shape looks a bit odd with the flares around backhump

[@kingkris2402]

Yeah I got it and it suck the grip is bad even with the grip take n the dpi is messed up when I click the mouse it doesn't work so I have to press it hard. It's a bad mouse

[@tinypickle]

How come you prefer the hien to the aqua control pro neon mid? I thought it was a hien with even x/y

[@boardzy]

AC pro mid was nice for when artisan refused to make 500x500, but a fresh hien soft just feels slightly better to me than ac pro, so I use it. X/Y difference isn't really a negative of the hien either imo

[@tyl3rb-fw6ee]

Zowie has a real sleeper with the U2 being one of the best shapes and build quality on a modern day mouse in 2024.

[@o-bagram-o]

what mouse do yall recommend for a first mouse in terms of gaming and not too pricey. cheap budget like $60 max ion want nothing amazing just a good starter mouse kwim

[@boardzy]

Endgame op1, dav3 wired if you dont mind wired mice. VXE R1 pro, pulsar x2v2 are solid wireless options below $70. Check my reviews

is the hair issue fixed on the artisan collab?

Yeah come to think of it

[@silly1281]

have you tried the chuan yun? its kinda like a raiden but a little smaller and slightly slower

[@boardzy]

Yeah I remember briefly trying it then putting it back in a pile, none of the esp tiger pads are bad but I usually don't like them much

[@b-3p0]

Any recommendations for a mouse or skates for a glass mousepad? I love my zero friction Skypad

[@lukaserlichson-deliz368]

i have been wondering, is there a reason you don't use one of the zebra graphic heavy bee mousepads

[@boardzy]

I just like the mouse portrait design the most, I will use one of the zebra designs in a future vid

[@UnknownX.Trash-Gxng6]

Hey Boardzy U reccomend me some mouse skates before but i cant order any to the Netherlands are there others?

[@deluxesofa]

im in your walls

[@Whatcoloururbimmer]

How r ur pro series like staining and stuff

[@tcc1234]

why not prefer mice with absolute lower weight? If you find one with a decent and compatible enough shape, will you main it? I'm talking sub 45 grams (other than ULX)

[@boardzy]

The reason is because I just dont prefer them. In theory I should prefer the beastx max/ULX tiger over the U2/Vv3 pro but I don't. I guess for claw with regular sized mice I don't benefit from sub 45g that much, if an option popped up that was perfect for me I'd def potentially main it

[@notTerabyte]

because weight doesnt mean jack shit if the mouse is generally uncomfortable to use

[@Prunesquallor]

Shape is way more important than weight. I would take a 75g mouse with a perfect shape over a 40g mouse with an okay shape.

[@yeakindanice5627]

I main the Hein xsoft w stock op1 8k skates. Would it be a bad idea to switch over to dot skates?

[@jaidan8660]

When do we get a release date for the zebra zero pad

[@spectral635]

Boardzy I would sell my kidney for a zebra artisan zero soft. Copped the zebra beast X since ULX was out of budget. They’d look so classy together!

[@Ad4m-cooks]

Didnt you make basically the same vod like 2 months ago.

[@boardzy]

Probably, this is more of a mouse/pad roundup

[@benjaminzarkhin1293]

I don't know, but my dumbass hand rejects any shape I tried; G102, Viper, Viper Mini, ZA13-B, Burst Pro, MM711, they all have some quirks but the one that was CONSISTENT across all of them is the front width- I NEED to have my ring finger on the side of the mouse for horizontal swiping stability, because if it's on the top of the mouse it's just my thumb and pinky doing the swiping. The only two mice that have ever properly fitted me in that regard was the Kone Pure Ultra, and the Prime Mini, which has been my go to for the last few years. I yearn for something Prime Mini esque, maybe a bit longer but mainly better built because fuck me, SteelSeries still struggles with that.

[@feeblemind]

You still hate glass skates right? You seem to be just pure corepad on your mice. I put superglide v2s on everything and really enjoy it and the glide stays consistent for me so it would feel weird going back to regular skates and I did have terrible corepad experiences years ago but maybe you're gonna peer pressure me.

I would like some help with my decision-making. I was searching for a new mouse and came across the Pulsar X2V2 MINI and the Razer Viper Pro V3. Here in my region (SA/Brazil), the Razer one is double the price of the Pulsar. Another caveat is that I don't think I can get my hands on the 4K dongle for the Pulsar. Any opinions?

@@boardzy The two main players, Logitech and Razer, are available in Brazil, but their products are extremely expensive here. I will definitely check out the VXE R1 Pro.
