My MAIN Mouse Going Into 2025! Endgame Gear XM2w 4k Review

[@BilbroBagginzz]

I have around 15 mice, beasts, final mouse, pulsar, super light 2,v3 and d3…… this mouse has simply overtaken everything. As a claw grip main I can’t get enough of it! It’s simply a dream!!!! Perfect in every way. The size and the extra weight has made me more accurate! The clicks are exquisite!It’s my first endgame and it might be my endgame!

The Endgame Gear OP1 8K is Goated for me. Don't mind a wired mouse if its S tier in 2024. Everything from the shape, size, weight, hot swappable clicks, great light weight braided cable, and feature set is what makes the OP1 8K a fantastic gaming mouse.

[@ingwiafraujaz3126]

I've used the XM2w and before that the XM1r and XM1 for years and I'm also mining the OP1 8k now because it's just a bit lighter and smaller, making it easier to control

[@Mir-lc5cs]

Engame gear is one of the best mice I tried, both Op1 8k and xm2 8k and they're really top tier mice and i am confident to say that they make one of the best mices overall, their software is lightweight and easy to use (and not bloatware), clicks and scrollwheel are really tactile and you can really feel every scroll, basically no post or pre travel, their quality is very good and they even make accessible and user friendly the modification of your mice by not blocking the screw hole and using semi hot swappable clicks or cable swap (in case of wired versions). The day the make an ergo mice (or taller) mouse is gonna be a thought situation for big companies as they're relatively cheap for their quality .

[@yoshi555king]

The XM1R was a very solid main for me for a long time, might get the XM2 if one of my Atlantis mice breaks or gets sold

[@TaidoRainbow6]

W Vid, I main the XM2 8K simply cause I got it when it was released and didnt wanna wait for the wireless. Might actually cop it sometime soon, we'll see.

[@swingkat]

Shocking. I'm still on my xm1r and op1 and they're great.

[@sHaNeR766]

Hey man thanks for all the content you do. I'm an older gamer getting back into it with my new pc on the way. I watched your vids to help me pick out my first wireless gaming mouse and decided to go with the Razer Viper v3 Pro and I'm loving it! Keep up the great work.

[@TheJesterMasque]

Such a good mouse, I got mine from preordering the XM2w from 2022 and never cancelling it, they just refunded it and gave me credit to order this or the OP1. I'm glad I chose this, the OP1 seems a bit too small for me.

[@KvotheMMA]

Tried a bunch of mice and still using my XM2we. 10/10 in every regard. High quality throughout. Side buttons on some of those expensive mouse are garbage. Will be looking to upgrade to the XM2W but genuinely don’t know why I should..

[@ea5479]

I upgraded to xm2w 4k from the Xm2we and the main things I noticed are the better new clicks/switches, latest sensor 3395 or whatever (Xm2we is on 3370 I think) the higher polling rate and the battery life seems to last slightly longer. But I have only been using 1k and 2k hz so not sure what it’s like at 4k, probably doesn’t last as long

[@ry7hym]

I just ordered the XM2we . I hope I'll like it

[@EldrinAnio]

@@ry7hym but why though, a little bit more $ and you have the xm2w 4k

[@tr4nnel752]

@@ea5479 Do you really notice the sensor and polling rate? Just curious since I'm on a second hand op1we and wonder if i'd feel any difference.

[@ea5479]

@ I can definitely feel a slight difference between the two but nothing to crazy. It’s kinda like a 240hz monitor compared to 540hz, they’re both good but the Xm2w 4k has the slight edge over it. The most noticeable difference is probably the responsiveness of the mouse clicks. The Xm2we has 5.2ms of click latency compared to the xm2w 4k having 0.3ms at 4000hz. If you have a good enough pc for the higher polling then I would say its a worthy upgrade

[@jR0xas]

The title has shocked me completely. I'm in the OP1 8k boat because small hands but I say down with optical switches! Imagine if this one also had the hot swap feature. Also nice of them to give it out for free to people who had pre ordered it.

[@jefflum4040]

I’m back on the 60g flawless build quality train, I’ve been using the vaxee x ninjutso sora 4k and loving it

[@TUB3R4FUN]

I have a sora v2 and I want to try the vaxee sora, do you think it would be worth it in terms of coating and click?

[@theamericanbadger6008]

First time using end game gear mice, this mouse is really good. I’m mostly a palm gripper, but I can easily palm grip this since I have small baby Asian hands, thanks mom and dad. Feels great, has very nice, crisp clicks and overall just a very great mouse. Love it.

[@ry7hym]

sounds great!

[@airrien]

EGG is definitely a must when torn between product and price. I have both Op1 8k white and purple frost. It’s been amazing so far, couldn’t recommend enough.

[@Underborn11]

op1 8k main here, fits so good in the hand with medium sized hands EGG did well with these two it would seem.

[@basmus]

Based review. It's also my new favourite mouse ever. First time I tried the XM shape was the XM2we and unfortunately had issues with a super stiff RMB, but the replacement was really nice (as nice as the Kailh GO switches can be). I am now using the XM2we in school with the carry case of the XM2w 4k. The only "issue" I have with my mouse is that the RMB sounds not as snappy and tactile as LMB (damn it those EGG RMBs!). I think it feels about the same, but it's hard to tell, because the sound is so much softer and muted, kind of "dull" even. Anyways I'm not really noticing it in game/with headphones on, so I might not RMA it, at least not yet. I just ordered the magic ice skates from AliExpress, to see how they feel, since the set of XM2we Corepads I have left are kind of fucked and slightly too big.I also ordered some X_Raypad Jade dots to try them out as I have never treid dot skates.

[@MrThaigamer]

The only my complain for this mouse is it unable to hotswap like OP1 but that is not a deal breaker I love every aspects on this mouse, shape, weight, feel. My local vendor has only frost black and white, waiting for them to bring in solid color and I will buy another one. GOAT of 2024 for me goes to XM2w

[@itsjustmeraki]

dude i have had the xm2 8k darkfrost since its launch and never had any issues, ive had many mice, including the op18k and the xm2 is by far my favorite. as soon as he uploaded this i checked and i had the screw problem the seperation….

[@phifedawg8944]

same the minute i put my hands on it i knew it was my final mouse which is funny because years ago xm1 was my first gaming mouse and after trying tons of shapes and brands im right back where i started

[@haste57]

I've been waiting on this thing so long I got it day 1 and have been loving it. It seemed very overshadowed and I didn't see many people talking about it so it's nice to see a reviewer giving it some love!

[@modeSeven]

W. Maining the same except wired. Best shape for me.

[@dizk8488]

If you don't mind the wire, the XM2 8k is even cheaper at $75 and 10g lighter. Very compelling option at that price.

[@Dad_K]

Purple Frost OP1 8K is still my top mouse. However, I will probably try to get my brother to use the XM2w 4K to replace his failing DAV3.

[@ItsukiXD]

Always love the XM shape

[@boardzy]

Yeah the shape is just well designed

[@granttcg]

If used a more traditional claw grip I would 100% main the XM2 but since I prefer a more relaxed claw grip the Viper V3 is where it’s at for me!

[@ry7hym]

the viper is really flat for my taste, I always palm that thing

[@granttcg]

@ the V3 pro? Or the V2? The V2 is super flat, V3 pro has solid hump in between the back and middle

[@YurttheSilentChief1]

I miss when roccat was doing fun and quirky shapes. Imagine if we got the Roccat Kova series wireless and lightweight in 2025...

[@kesamek8537]

Endgame OP1 regular wired is by miles the best mouse I ever owned, being able to hot swap the switches is such a great feature it makes everything without it seem like a scam toy.

[@XLoad3d]

I bought the XM2we right when it came out in March 2023 and gotta say I don't like this shape the sides are short and has a very low front half where the buttons are. It's annoying not having enough meat on the bone per say. I'd consider it a small mouse that might appear bigger due to its width. Very hard switches on my model too it never loosened up and feels like you need to make an effort to click it's not a smooth feeling click. Hey if your looking for a budget small mouse it's an option, but I'd say there's many other options. There's a reason why people main the G Pro for the last like 10 years.

[@thiefsleef6752]

The Xm shape is almost perfect, I just wish it wasn’t made for aggressive claw because it steeps down too much towards the front

[@sxnthwave]

People who freak out about mouse weight are just trying to be something that they aren't. Anything from 50g to 70g is good to me as long as it's well balanced.

[@jerryyy.]

The way I see it is anything below 70 is perfectly fine but I do prefer lower, shape is more important

[@ohioisonfiree1316]

the superlight which was everyones main was 60g and everyone said it felt light but now we are considering 60 as heavy

[@nyororomeowelas1225]

I like everything that EGG has done, I just hope they make something more like the Finalmouse small shape. Yes, I am boring like that.

[@ZWortek]

Viper V3 Pro and XM2w 4k are my favorite mice I've used so far. Have about a dozen different top mice including some sub 40g mice and a high build quality 50-60g mouse stands up just fine. There is unfortunately a robustness that ultra lightweight mice cannot offer yet.

[@swim5alive710]

Hey Boardzy. I purchased the XM2we when it came out to replace my original XM1. While I have enjoyed using it you have got me thinking about upgrading to the XM2w 4k. Are the new Kailh GX switches and the higher polling rate worth upgrading from the XM2we?

[@boardzy]

In my opinion yes. Its simply upgrading to the latest generation. This feels much more refined than my xm2we did

[@swim5alive710]

@@boardzy Alrighty I guess I could use the upgrade. I will go ahead and pick one up. I am really interested to see if the wireless stability is better because my XM2we sometimes feels like it stutters a bit? Idk I could be crazy but switching from the Zowie ZA13DW and GPX Superlight 2, the XM2we almost feels laggy. I am also excited to try out these GX switches that everyone is talking about. Thank you for the reply!

It's also my new main, have the Dark Frost version and love it.

[@Mouthbreather777]

Wow this guys main mouse going into 2025 is the one featured in the video

[@Cr9mson]

How much better is it compared to the viper v3 pro, idk if i will wait for a mini version or not

[@dominicalis]

its the same size as the viper v3 pro, just depends on if you like the shape more

[@jR0xas]

Depends which shape you like more. I think the Viper is a safe shape if you don't know what you like and the XM2 has better clicks + cheaper price. Both essentially flawless mice though.

[@nervessoldout]

hey Boardzy, what about xm2 8k? Does it feel the same as xm2w 4k? Should I go with wired or just got the wireless one?

[@Exyile]

this might be my favourite claw shape for larger hands i have the 8k version and its amazing

[@AzuriDayo]

How does the XM2w 4k compare against the Zowie U2 and Steelseries Sensei shape-wise? I enjoy the inward curve for my thumb to rest into. Would this XM2w offer similar feel? Or would you recommend a different model for that?

[@Ronald-vz6pl]

Xm2 bit wider and hump a tiny bit further back. Both very comfy in hand, depends on preferred width

[@romatheclown]

anyone else have wireless interference? getting small stutters, noticeably choppy movement while im playing tracking scenarios in kovaaks. no other mouse i own besides the xm2w has this issue. it seems to lessen when i put the dongle close and directly in front of my mouse

[@aucoinbm]

What makes you choose the XM2 over the Vaxee Sora? I’m guessing it’s the curves on the sides. Trying to decide which one to go for

[@KvotheMMA]

EGG has leagues better quality as a general rule

[@boardzy]

Mostly the larger shape being a better fit for my hand. If you like smaller mice than this, sora might be a better pick

[@funbucket09]

I can't stand optical switches. I am so glad endgamegear is still using mechs in their halo products. They feel better and thats more important to me than the imperceptible click latency

[@cristi724]

Does it use the same shitty scroll encoder like on the XM1r? I had to perform open heart surgery on it after ~2 years of daily office use, casual gaming.

[@VoltaReviews]

Now that, is truly shocking 😮

[@Kiobao]

I do have slightly larger hands (19x11 cm) with a relaxed claw grip so I have been tempted for this one and Zowie S2 Dw or some variant, this video is tempting me more towards the XM2w, I had previously been leaning more towards the Zowie MOSTLY because of the charging dock. I much prefer the comfort of just slapping a mouse on there and not thinking about it. That said, I have rather sweaty hands so the zowie coating/getting oily seems concerning. I currently use a sora V2 but I feel it's slightly too small for my hand.

[@fabiangraf3555]

I do have the xm1r - would that be a nice Upgrade (apart from being Wireless)

Hello, thank you very much for the video. I'm currently using gpx2, but it feels very high in the middle and bulky every time I pick it up. I feel that I want a click at a lower height every time I use it. My hand size is 18.5x10.5 cm. Should I prefer EGG Xm2w 4K or Vaxee Sora? I can't try them before buying, unfortunately. I heard that Vaxee uses the 3950 sensor, but I don't know how significant the sensor difference is, as some people say the 3950 LoD setting is strange. My only question about the Xm2w 4K is whether it would feel wide in my hand with a claw grip. I would appreciate your comments.

How is the shape compared to the Lamzu Atlantis ?

[@ry7hym]

fairly similar but the hump placement is a bit different. the Atlantis has a way more aggressive slant inwards at the sides as well

Is it really worth to upgrade from the XM2WE?? I swear the only change is the increased polling rate which I don't use anyways.
