My Top 5 Gaming Mouse Recommendations of 2023 🐁

[@jakeufps]

Remember to SUBSCRIBE and hit the bell if you're enjoying the content HUGE thanks to everybody who's coming back to my channel for watching and also everybody mentioned in the description for sending out the review units. Getting awesome stuff sent out for review as such a small content creator is something I'm forever thankful for, and these videos wouldn't be possible without both you guys watching and the brands supporting me. LOVE YOU ALL 💛 Edits: I know about the editing issue with the HTX placement, was just too lazy to render and upload again. I also wanted to mention that my HTS+ receiver died recently, but it was replaced under warranty without any issues. G-Wolves mice have their issue when it comes to QC and that it can be a gamble at some times, but I've never had any issues besides the dongle dying on me. Their support is VERY questionable for most, and I'll definitely agree to that.

[@iitsMikeB]

I've tried almost all the mice here, and for some reason, I just come back to the GPX every time. Not everything logitech does is top of the line, but when they do, it's fantastic.

[@jakeufps]

It was the same for me for a long time, but I really can't get away from the HTS+ any more now. Couldn't agree more with your last sentence.

[@iitsMikeB]

@@jakeufps Yeah. I kinda said that line because of the G PRO 2 Lineup they sold. Obviously the superlight is already a fantastic mouse, so not changing much is ok for me (Wish the feet were better though), but their keyboard... What in the actual hell were they thinking when they made that?

[@ApparentlyPeter]

the part where you have a similar handsize to me and the same grip was very shocking, going to try out number 1 or the 2nd honorable mention

[@jakeufps]

😀👍

[@VoltaReviews]

Ay yo, good to have you back! That purple Pulsar X2 Mini looks ❤‍🔥and amazing for ftip! Looking forward to the OP1we review. The mod sounds pretty cool as well

[@jakeufps]

It's freaking sick, right?! OP1 is sick, can't wait to record the video.

[@VoltaReviews]

@@jakeufps It really is! Looking forward to the video and loved the new format

[@CRAiCED.]

My fnatic lamzu thorn arrived today I can't wait to try it. Hoping it can be my main over the Dav3

[@jakeufps]

Hope you'll be able to enjoy it as much as I did! I personally prefer it over the shape of the DAV3 and think it's a great alternative to the rest of the ergo mice out there.

[@lonrea2886]

im jealous.. mine is still in transit! i cant freaking wait to hold and use it!

[@hiyouprapakorn1299]

Mine arrived yesterday. Never touching DAV3 again after the first touch 😂

[@CRAiCED.]

@@hiyouprapakorn1299 man I just unboxed mine. THIS is the shape I've been looking for! The rounding at the end of mouse 1 and mouse 2 is perfect. Feels way better in my hand than the dav3

[@HAMK_OW]

king returned

[@step557]

I'm kinda surprised, that you mentioned the phylina and didn't mention at all the dragonfly.

[@jakeufps]

Well, it's my personal Top 5 and I really don't enjoy the insane comfort grooves on the Dragonfly, therefore I didn't mention it. Was a close one, though!

[@MoeezandSoulAli]

strong lineup! 🔥

[@Delthfaithe]

Best reviewer of all time 😊

the return

[@majortom6177]

Love the roundup! I personally haven’t been able to break away from my NP-01S wireless since I got it

[@AS_Krnage]

Incredible video as always. Very nice to see you back! Be careful you put #3 on the top left of the screen for the HTX

[@jakeufps]

Thanks! Glad to be back as well. Yeah, I saw it when placing ads 💀didn't feel like rendering everything a third time and uploading again, so I'll have to deal with it

[@Varbil]

HES BACK

[@itxchi_trplsix]

bro talking about writing a script and long taking edit, follows it up with tiktok meme and fortnite edit. what a goat

[@jakeufps]

🗿🔥

[@FasoESO]

good video. i have also been hts+ pilled for awhile now. I have 19x10 hands as well, and I can't find a better mouse for claw. tried around 15-20 mice - it is just the goat shape for me. great performance too - and a solid shell. cant rly be beat

[@arkii8540]

i have same handsize and grip ive been debating HEAVILY about whether i get an hts+ or an x2h mini, have you ever tried the x2h mini? just trying to collect some thoughts

[@JustShootToKill]

@@arkii8540I know this is a late reply, but I have both the X2H Mini and HTS+ 4K. My hand size is a 18.5 x 9 so take that at face value. I personally choose the X2H Mini, for best performance and why I say that is the HTS+ 4K or let’s just say most of the G-Wolves “WIRELESS” mice can be quite finicky. I’ve gone through my fair share of G-Wolves mice and yes I do agree the shape is great, but just not worth it if you are gonna run into issues a month down the line. I will say I used to main the X2 Mini and all the pulsar products that I’ve bought are the “Special Editions” so like for example I have the FE versions of the X2s so I don’t have the same QC issues as some have had you’d say. I liked the shape so much that I bought 2 FEs of the same mouse just in case if after a year the mouse got mushy. Which I’ll say the switches didn’t get mushy. I would recommend the supergrip tape after about 6 month mark for me in my opinion. You know the coatings of mice can only be so well for so long. Don’t get me wrong if you have money to blow get a G-Wolves mouse. I love the shape of the mouse but boy is that mouse stuttery and glitchy. Hell you can even see in Shopify Rebellions match for Valorant that the MVP Flor was using an HTX but it stopped working so she had to switch to her X2H mini. If I were you, I’d go can grab the FE one off their website for preorder right now. I just love the forest green color and it also comes with the 4K dongle included within it so you don’t have to buy it separately. But go check eloshapes on what you favor and see what mouse grip you like. I personally play an aggressive to relaxed claw grip so X2H MiNi is the perfect one for me because there was just something missing in the X2 mini that I couldn’t put my finger on.

[@casull2041]

do you think the ace(the holed version) is atill a good option? the plus is incredibly hard to find in my country and the only offerings are the wireless ace version

[@zugzwang8761]

looking forward to the op1we review!

[@hitta6213]

finally u r back bro, miss u

[@jakeufps]

missed y'all as well, glad to be back!

[@tampwn]

seeing all the hts plus mains in the comments makes me smile. I've bought a dozen mice since I copped mine and keep going back to it even though I never turn it off because the stick thing is too much of a nuisance. looking forward to more reviews to see if something can top it! personally I think I would like something with slightly less pronounced grooves on the right like the np01s

[@gamist8166]

I been on the HSK Pro for over a year now, and I picked it up off of the Hati-S inspiring me. My friend had it so I never bought another G-Wolves. I cant really be bothered to try with G-Wolves again tbh, swapping to normal mouse shapes, or at least attempting to soon, and I can't spend that much money. Going with Lamzu. Their mice look really clean, and charge like 50% less than G-Wolves. I loved the Energon pad and the sapphire skates I tried on my HSK before (the lamzu atlantis mini skates fit gr8)

[@johannfindeis4421]

i got bored of the market after the Atlantis OG hahaha, then i got a op1we and i love this mouse (on my skill level even not having a mousepad works), nice to see you back

[@jakeufps]

Glad to hear that you're enjoying it as well! Really love it, can't wait for the wired version, will probably get and mod that one. Glad to be back as well!

[@r2pair]

[@zaaturn]

Nice video, Darmoshark M3s and Pulsar XH2 are the best 4 me!

[@jakeufps]

Thank you! Glad that you've found something you enjoy!

[@backupjester3520]

The HELIOS II PRO XD3 V3 is also a strong competitor in my opinion. 4K for 85 dollars included. the gold ttc switches and solid pixel pixart sensor.

[@MrJKMCPE]

i love my hati unfortunately their qc imo is not that good that it turns me away from buying their other mice

[@jakeufps]

It definitely seems to be very hit or miss for some people, sorry to hear that. I'll make sure to let more people know next time I recommend their mice, made sure to edit my pinned comment as well. Worst part about G-Wolves is the support, and that alone is reason enough for many to not make a purchase.

[@Butter007]

That intro :'), that crackhead had me dying.

[@linegrinder]

Awesome Roundup. I do agree that the HTS 4k+ has also been my favourite Mouse so far in terms of shape and feel. I do have to mention that the software is absolutely atrocious and the way you constantly needed to update the Firmware in that very cheaply made window 98, just seemed very questionable. With my copy unfortunately even after the supposed firmware fixes, the mouse would still occasionally just turn off or go into sleep mode until I plugged it in again. Also plugging it in over and over actually broke the micro usb connection inside the dongle so that is broken now XD. So I have the mouse laying around but can't use it anymore because of the faulty dongle. Quite a let-down. Also the 4k hz drained the battery waaay to quick in order for me to use it a lot. Those are the negative sides. I'm basically waiting for the hts 4k+ V2 and that will be my endgame =)

[@jakeufps]

Thank you! Yeah, G-Wolves definitely have their own issues and I will definitely point everything out in a full review once the time has come. Thank your comment, good to hear what issues people are having since I've been quite lucky with my copies.

[@listen2yourheart]

Would a vgn f1 moba fit in there?

[@jakeufps]

well, it's not in the vid... but then again, it's MY personal Top 5

[@lnbabz]

Yoooo Jakeu! Great to see yet another video.... Did you order the Maya? Mine just shipped.

[@lnbabz]

HTS+ shape is definitely great for claw, even ftip imo. I personally like the zippy switches they use. Personally I've been enjoying the XE shape a lot! Feels super good in my hand (after trying MANY shapes). And I know Vaxee is cooking up some XE S potentially in 2024. I will weight mod my XE soon (3D printed base and smaller battery) and after that it will most definitely stay on my desk... However, waiting for that Maya to see how it feels. Noticeably lighter weight for sure. Heard DiamonLobby say it ressembles a XE mini in some ways which is super interesting.

[@jakeufps]

Review unit for the Maya is on the way! Don't know when it will arrive, though. XE is a great shape as well, but I can't get over the weight difference. XE S could be insane, and I hope they'll go all out. Haven't watched any Maya videos since I don't want to spoil myself, been looking forward to it ever since the first leaks and announcements.

[@nautrin1733]

Currently maining the Endgame Gear XM2we. The coating is so nice and the shape is goated.

[@wrongplacerighttime]

lol i almost ended the video when you said winner is the GP-sike. thank goodness

[@steveshin820]

My mouse of the year was for sure the NP-01s wireless. Best shape I've tried last year by far

[@kurttomlinsoncompositions1067]

I have same hand size. Is the Thorn as bulky and awkward to micro adjust with like some reviewers say?

[@jakeufps]

It can be, but I found it mostly fine for my grip and hand size. Not the easiest recommendation if you're looking for something very manoeuvrable, though.

[@DimaQxt]

Wie immer sehr gutes Video, es freut mich sehr dass du back bist! Btw, weißt du vtll wo man aus Deutschland aus am besten die Delux kaufen kann? Auch wenn du jetzt nicht direkt aus Deutschland bist obviously

[@jakeufps]

Danke! Bin auch selbst mega happy zum wieder da sein. Link ist in der Description, würde die auf AliExpress kaufen!

[@DimaQxt]

@@jakeufps Bei mir ist da aber schon seit Wochen das Problem, dass die einzigen Delux Mäuse die ich da finden kann nur die M800 Pro und die normale verkabelte M800 sind, die Ultra konnte ich bisher nur im Mechkey Shop finden aber die sind ja aus der US :/

[@BiggyJimm]

Htx 4k is my number one right now. Ruby Red looks sick too

[@_paczki]

I’m stuck on the HTS Plus too 🤣👍 I got two and now I want the transparent black 😭

[@jakeufps]

Well, we definitely are in the same boat there

[@RobiLemos10]

VGN Dragongly MOBA is the eco GOAT

[@jakeufps]

Definitely one of them 🔥

[@_Khalmyr_]

Phylina gang, rise up

[@enronko]

lamzu atlantis mini is goated

[@jakeufps]

I sadly hate the shape, find it really uncomfortable over time. It's very much a hit or miss shape, you either love it or hate it, just like the X2H MINI.

[@enronko]

@@jakeufps its a hit for me

[@hinley2615]

no razer???

[@Sayurman]

such a good content! i do agree the hts+4k is the winner, rock solid mouse the performance wise, is that corepad mousefeet jak?

[@jakeufps]

Thank you so much! I'm actually rocking Hyperglides on my HTS+, got some of the last ones existing on earth that I slapped on it. God I missed them...

[@Sayurman]

@@jakeufps thanks for the reply jakeu, lmao i might go get some hyperglides skates too, rn im rocking with dot jades after watching your video "best dot skates" haha

[@lyere]

love the roundup. is it possible for you to explain the phylina mods in detail? i'm planning on modding the mouse myself and im not sure where to start...

[@Van_Edor]

Why German music @ the beginning haha, cool video🔥 thank you❤

[@jakeufps]

HAHAHA I felt like it, listen to a lot of underground German stuff cus' it's my main language. Thanks dude!!

[@illumi7699]

what skates are you using on your g-wolves htx? I'm looking into skates but I'm unsure of which ones are good as using for the mouse

[@jakeufps]

They're actually RVMSE skates, got them off AliExpress. You could probably just get some RVMSE corepads now.

[@asd123465jkl]

Hi jake do you think there are any differences in build quality or anything between the white and black variants of hts plus 4k?

[@jakeufps]

nope

[@roboticbum]

im torn between the htx and hts+. My handsize is 19x9 and I main valorant. I claw and fingertip depending on mouse. Any advice?

[@arkii8540]

havent tried either but ive heard the hts+ covers and fills your palm more since it has a high-profile hump, while the htx+ is very low (around 4mm lower than the hts+) so it wont fill your palm as much which is suited for fingertip

[@MuscleFuelInsider]

Wich one would you say is better? the Darmoshark M3s or the Phylina S450

[@tetoqx]

nice that you have the same pad as me

[@m4g153]

Thoughts on the Lamzu Atlantis with a 4k dongle? ive been thinking about getting it, people say its great but nobody puts it in their top 5 for some reason. Any thoughts on why, or if there are similar better options? (Using the superlight currently, but i dont like the mushy side buttons, mb4 is broken, the battery came loose within a week of use, the middle mouse button is broken and the skates on it are worn out. also it has recently started bugging out randomly, and will make me look directly vertical out of nowhere mid use)

[@manictv4130]

I got the lamzu atlantis mini 4k and i love it, havent tried many mice but i cant imagine that any mouse could be any better. I use claw btw

[@Mullaa-uj4kg]

Hi Jake, do you recommend the viper v2 pro?

[@Mikaaaaayswan]

Thoughts on Lamzu Maya?

[@landon8676]

ULX where?

[@jakeufps]

only two reviewers have it so far, first batch is being shipped out soon™

[@DawnK204]

Did you test the Sora 4k ?

[@jakeufps]

Sadly they never answered, wish I did. Would probably have been in my personal Top 5 if it were solid and I owned it.

[@fabian3112]

Hello what would be a good upgrade from the Deathadder Elite? I hold it in Palm Grip and my hand is 18cm x 11cm Lamzu Thorn XLite V3 (which size?) Or any other?

I wish so too, but VAXEE didn't send out units to small reviewers back when I asked for it, sadly.

Nope.

are u gonna review the new finalmouse ultralight x soon?

[@Virgil_TF2]

We need the broke version

[@jakeufps]

VERY good idea, will think about it.

[@Nunoxo2]

So I have a HTS PLUS 4k and I feel like the software is just awful or maybe I dont understand how to use the mouse but it stops tracking and it also stutters a lot on 4k and 1k Hz I bought another one and I have the same issue I updated the firmware on it and also did the parring since the mouse stopped working wireless. I really love the shape of that mouse but I just cant use it because it seems that it does not want to work with me even on the 2nd copy.

[@agentsparky8010]

What about the vxe dragonfly r1 pro?

[@nolimitsREAL]

Similar shape for a g703 but a light weight version ? anyone knows ?

GPX2? ahh🧐 one of the worst (overrated) mouse I've ever tried

[@jakeufps]

It's OK, but it's just so overpriced for what you get with other mice these days, especially considering the fact that there are TONS of mice out there that are focused on specific grip styles instead of trying to suit them all.

[@2GreeDie]

It's kind of a yappaton city of video, really.

[@maliz]

[@jakeufps]

💀 it really is my favourite shape, though, and $10 off is $10 off 🗿

i’ve been followin you on twitter for awhile now, didn’t know you had a youtube channel, SUBBIN 🔥🔥🙏

[@MustyPickle87]

How well can you make innerhand movements with the HTS+? I got the Lamzu Thorn and felt really restricted when aiming downwards.

[@jakeufps]

HTS+ is a lot better for inner-hand movements, but there are also even less restrictive shapes out there, for sure. If your main issue is restricted movement up and down, maybe it could be interested for you to switch to a fingertip grip!
