Impressive, but Flawed | HITSCAN Hyperlight | The mel0n Review

[@jR0xas]

This is why I like your content. You don't just blindly praise everything and you're very detailed about everything. I was getting annoyed with everyone hyping up literally every release. Critique is useful so companies know how to further improve their products.

[@LordAngelus]

Very good reviewer ❤️

[@manlikeg]

Other reviewers are infuriating. Everything is their next main 😂

[@jR0xas]

@manlikeg2794 Fr man. I watch mel0n for the deep analysis and boardzy for the based personal opinions and that's all I need to get a good impression. 😂

[@manlikeg]

@@jR0xas same as me pretty much. Optimum for the production quality. To be fair to them I do get that if they are overly harsh people won’t send them new products, but what’s the point of a review if they are just going to shill every new mouse.

[@jR0xas]

@manlikeg Very much agree man.

[@rometherevenant8749]

I love mine. Moved from a viper mini and it works perfect for me.

[@frugalaimer]

once again thank you for such an extensive review, the precision you talk about all the features like the weight to the scroll wheel pressure is just so useful for people who have tried tons of mice and know what they are looking for specifically, ty for all that you do

[@mel0nFPS]

Quick note, I also forgot to mention that the adhesive that holds the battery to the base shell doesn't have a solid cover on it. So, under the battery, the honeycomb fills with dirt and dust very quickly, similar to what happens on the ULX series mice. This is another thing I'd like to see fixed on future versions of the Hyperlight.

[@MageLordZephyr]

They should. I fixed it myself by taking it apart

[@danthegt40fan92]

​@@MageLordZephyr I the think you can fix it just by putting a small sticker over the wholes

[@MageLordZephyr]

@@danthegt40fan92 I trimmed the sticky bit down to where it no longer shows. Cleaner imo

[@richboii6597]

“What *happened on the ULX.” That got fixed on the second batch. Edit* to add this: you should revisit the new FM ULX comp. Much better mouse than the batch 1 ULX. They, fingers crossed, seem to have finally figured it out lol

[@takutolovex]

I was thinking about how much I love your content. How perfectly everything is covered and chaptered. Would you consider making a master mouse list with all this info? This way people can easily compare every single aspect you covered 😍. Just a thought. Having issues with this mouse's battery and scroll wheel already and I was considering going back to OP1 8k (white) or OP1 4kw or maybe even XMW2 4kw 🤔. It's a lot of info to compare side by side without a list or grid sadly. Any tips? 9x17cm claw gripper that likes switching up with fingertip sometimes

[@dawn2911]

I was waitin for this ty goat

[@mel0nFPS]

Sorry for the long wait!

[@travispoole3831]

I would compare it to a op1k in hump with a little wider on the sides, my mouse came in at 39.9 with 4 dot skates. Thank you for the review.

[@takutolovex]

The OP18K feels flatter too imo

[@travispoole3831]

Yeah the front is much flatter, but comparing the mouses from sora v2, op1k and hitscan i find it very similar to op1k for my claw grip style. I'm hording mouses so bad.

[@an_Anon]

thank you for your very detailed review 🙏💜 i was unsure about this mouse from a brand new name in the market, but your review helped me confirm that this mouse would be a good fit for me

[@mel0nFPS]

Glad it was helpful!

[@latvianpotatoe]

I got my unit and I had some side to side rocking when placing a third dot in the center close to the edge. Moving it closer to the center fixed it, but there’s some unevenness in the skate base. I’ll probably move to full size when unusual way releases full silver fox

[@mel0nFPS]

You can try re-tensioning the base screws, often uneven bases are caused by the screws being over-tightened.

[@sa17dk]

Your reviews always give a very fair assessment with lots of details. Always appreciate your reviews.

Great review! mine comes in trmw cant wait

[@chrisnedelchew]

Great content! First time viewer here and I am very impressed with the quality of ur work as well as the value it provides. Keep it up!

[@mel0nFPS]

Much appreciated!

[@2xenn]

I have yet to find a reason to switch to the Hyperlight coming from Sora V2, theyre basically the exact same except for the shape. Btw, i have heard on their discord that theyre working on making the software web-based.

[@mel0nFPS]

Good to know, thanks!

[@Tylox-7]

I have been waiting on this review for too long have been hesitating to get this or lamzu maya 4k version with black Friday which would you recommend or any one else?(i mainly use pincer claw grip)

[@mel0nFPS]

I actually haven't used any LAMZU mice yet so I can't really give a recommendation there. But if you're looking for a similarly sized claw grip mouse I'd say the Sora V2 and OP1 8K are fantastic options.

[@Tylox-7]

@@mel0nFPS the sora v2 is a bit more expensive plus shipping but are there any discount codes?

[@mel0nFPS]

@@Tylox-7 None that I know of from Ninjutso, but if you order from another retailer there may be discount codes!

[@takutolovex]

Great review. Was waiting for this one! I do want to point out that the Performance Mode is strictly for 2-8k, not 1k. It activates automatically when you go higher than 1k polling. I double checked this with their CS too, so trust.

[@jeremyniels]

Great review. It's important to keep in mind that the unit sent to you is almost certainly hand inspected so any positive qc should imo be taken with a grain of salt.

[@QuamQuas]

Do you have a recommendation list of mice?

[@heroVSzer0]

Nice review, i really like the editing :D

[@mel0nFPS]

😅

[@mavevibenbtw]

I’m this isn’t really a fix but my USBCwire from the xm2w works fine with it and is just a overall better wired experience for the hyper light

[@mel0nFPS]

Good to know!

[@zpop113]

In your opinion what is the best performing yet reliable mouse for 17cm hands

[@mel0nFPS]

What grip style do you use?

[@zpop113]

@mel0nFPS relaxed claw

[@mel0nFPS]

@@zpop113 OP1 8K, LemoKey G2, Sora V2, are all solid options!

[@zpop113]

@@mel0nFPS what about the scyrox v8

[@galee4253]

@@mel0nFPS Op1 reliable? I heard many people complain about cable and wheel issues. I was on edge to get it but got scared by those experiences of others.. Maybe it affect like 5% of units but idk

[@Peraliq]

I play palm/claw grip and like the op1 8k shape, is there anything I can go from as an upgrade? I don’t like the viper v3 because the shape hurts my hand after like an hour.

[@mel0nFPS]

XM2 8K would be the "closest" to the OP1 8K's performance, it's just a bigger OP1 8K shape but with the same tech as the OP1 8K, just avoid the frost shells as I've seen a LOT of issues with it breaking.

[@Peraliq]

@@mel0nFPS thank you for getting back to me!

[@Yveldi]

After sending my Viper V2 Pro for a refund after having side-button issues (I use them for push-to-talk on Discord) after just 6 months, this mouse got my attention. I loved everything about the Glorious Series One Pro, but I couldn't use it due to connection issues. This mouse looks very similar to its, but on crack. I think your video sold the mouse to me, as soon as I get my refund! ^^ I was considering getting a Lamzu Maya X until today but I have small hands, so I am glad I found this before I got my refund!

[@Sarity2.0]

What did you think of the mouse also what’s your hand size??

[@Yveldi]

@@Sarity2.0 I love it 😍It is impressively light, and aiming with this for me is infinitely more comfortable than the Viper V2 Pro. My hands are 16.5x9 cm.

[@Sarity2.0]

@ my hands are 15x8 little less I loved the viper v3 pro but felt a little big so I’m excited

[@firestroke6240]

[@nickgeorge6377]

Can you review the G wolves HTx mini?

[@mel0nFPS]

If I have an opportunity to do so I will!

[@daveuerk4030]

You have the best mouse reviews. If you can get your hands on the Pulsar X3 that would be awesome. I think pulsar is moving away from using their own switches.

[@mel0nFPS]

It's on my list for sure, not sure how long it'll take me to get one but I'll cover it at some point!

[@lbgstzockt8493]

I am currently using a wired G502, so I assume this will be a massive upgrade in every way. My only gripe is the lack of a free scrolling wheel like the logitech has, but thats what you give up for low weight I suppose.

[@mel0nFPS]

It's quite rare to see free-scrolling, or even light scroll wheels on gaming mice as since people will use them for in-game actions. You could always mod-in a lighter encoder, but better to stick with the stock ones in my opinion.

[@kieran1348]

whats that keyboard ur using early on the vid

EPOMAKER TH80 SE, it's my editing board, forgot to switch to my gaming board fro the performance testing 😅

So....when we getting that pink mouse review in the back. Its been there since forever.

[@mel0nFPS]

Oh the GIRLGEAR mouse, we don't speak about that mouse 💀

[@awesomexpresso]

The "detailed review" we all needed. Subscribed.

[@Raisuru]

Will the Xraypad donut skates fit on it?

[@mel0nFPS]

Yup! But the HYPERLIGHT's base is weirdly tall, so you might run into some compatibility issues on med-soft firmness pads.

[@Raisuru]

No problem, I plan to use a glass pad anyways

[@Raisuru]

[@maakureviews]

you should see the scyrox +/ 3 grams....

[@phucnguyen0110]

Some of the flaws mentioned can be annoying from time to time, but still an excellent first release I would say! If it has a 3950 then it would be a better buy for me personally.

[@mel0nFPS]

Just an 3950 with a central sensor position alone would make the mouse 10x better imo

[@phucnguyen0110]

@@mel0nFPS interesting. By the way, I've actually got the ATK F1 Extreme Leviatan like a day ago. Early impression is pretty positive but I need to get some more mileage into it though.

I hate the idea of still having to buy a separate high polling rate dongle on hardware that is over 80 usd, my vxe mad r cost me 48 bucks and came with the 8k dongle included!

[@mel0nFPS]

Yeah it should definitely be included, hopefully on their next product it'll be included by default

[@manlikeg]

Only other thing that is useful is the measurements from the grip width (like where you actually grip it)

[@DreamingPhenom]

Hyperlight vs OP1 vs F1 Extreme?

[@mel0nFPS]

OP1 8K. Best preforming mouse of the year in my opinion, nothing else has come close.

[@DreamingPhenom]

@@mel0nFPS Not even close? How do the Kailh GO and GX switches compare to the Omron opticals? I'm looking for the closest equivalent to Logi G Pro HERO's switches.. ready to click purchase on any of these three-- but can't decide!

[@mel0nFPS]

@@DreamingPhenom So I absolutely love omrons, they're my favorite switch type, but the GX switches are SIGNIFICANTLY faster. They have a slightly less tactile feel, but they preform better. I talk about the switches in depth in my review so you can check that out if you want to learn more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWLLfaSDer6qfKssi=tpg8RWLM56zuugQP&t=511 Also, the OP1 8K's switches are hot-swappable, so you can buy a switch pack and install Omrons, HBSPD's etc! I think EGG sells the switch pack on their website and their retailers. Hope that helps!

[@DreamingPhenom]

@@mel0nFPS Ok, thanks. I watched both your reviews of Hyperlight and OP1 now. Do you know if there is a significant difference between OP1 and the wireless version? In terms of switches especially, and everything else.. super helpful videos and thanks again for replying!

[@mel0nFPS]

@@DreamingPhenom The shell sizes and shapes are 1:1, but the wired version has better weight and latency, as well as more stable Hz due to the wired connection. Personally I'd go for the wired one and just get a Pulsar eS bungee and it'll feel same as a wireless one.

[@glashausAimz2]

this level of review is S-tier!

[@mel0nFPS]

Glad the video was helpful!

[@glashausAimz2]

@mel0nFPS have you considered reviewing the new offerings from mchose(L7pro and so on)?

[@estebansalas5817]

so using the hitscan for a week… can’t say i’m a fan lol. still just such a safe shape i feel like i grip it differently everytime/constantly readjusting. would love to know if yall know of any shapes similar with a more pinched in side, i hate how wide the mouse feels coming from an x2h mini

[@mel0nFPS]

Sora V2 & OP1 8K would be my guesses, but there could be others that I haven't used p

[@takutolovex]

I've had the OP18k and can say it was more comfy than Hitscan Hyperlight. I'd wait for the OP1w 4k if I was you... Only downsides on OP18k would be that it feels front heavy. The switches and encoder feel slightly heavy (compared to optical switches). The hump and overall shape is a lot more claw friendly imo. I ended up returning the purple frost version because it creaked. The white version had no creaking issues. White: 3395, 60g switches Purple frost: 3950, 55g switches Do note you can buy lighter switches or other switches in general. Modding is encouraged.

[@Vexcenot]

30 minutes goddamn

[@mel0nFPS]

Honestly I'm shocked this one wasn't longer, fully expected this video to be 40+ mins

[@takutolovex]

Only 15mins on 2.0x speed haha

wish i have one :(

[@luminozo1610]

I dont know what the hype is about this mouse its an okay mouse. I bought the attackshark R6 right after & replaced it instantly. R6 feels lighter, better clicks too. Shape is out of this world aswell
