I disliked the "oh btw" fashion Ninjutso mentioned the dongle thing on their twitter. otherwise the mouse is a W.

Will hands close to the size of yours fit comfortably in relaxed claw on this mouse? Also, how close is the crucible to an artisan otsu in both speed and texture? Thanks

Hey Fresh. Im considering purchasing the HD 490 Pros. I currently own the HD 560 S, would you consider it a worth upgrade or no? Im not really sure if i should pull the trigger for the HD 490s.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I personally think so, especially if you can get a bit of dough for the 560s. Theyre both very good for gaming but the 490s sound better imo and way more comfy

Did you try to EQ them?

Glad you like them!

[@gingi_swagg9304]

Looking at your audio rankings, with the HD490Pro being an A+ but the Hype 4 being a B+, are they compared against each other or is that just within their respective categories (headphones vs headphones, IEMs vs IEMs)?

Did they change the level of inward slope on the sides?

[@har2252]

In terms of shape, do you prefer ergo ?

[@yaricoo]

sorry for my random question, but what do you prefer for gaming? iem? or headphones? i recently bought hd800s for gaming..i’m joking, for music listening, i am heavy music enthusiast, but not for gaming. for gaming, i just want to having fun, and immersive experience, that is all i want from game. and i also have ie200, which also bought for music listening, and i thought it sound pretty good for my ears. but since i watched your video about ie 200 and xenns mangird top, i got curious. if these two iems sound that much different, then should i buying mangird top for gaming and other purpose, like music listening? to be honest, pretty much every expensive iems i tried in my local headphone shop just not that great for me. ie600 and ie200 were the exception, but unlike hd800s, which eventually i bought, i didn’t think extra 400 usd is worth it, since ie 200 sound just good enough for me. i really want to know is there any iems that make me to think that much price is worth. sadly my local audio shop don’t have xenns mangird top, so i want to hear your opinion about this. thank you for read my long, rambling comment.

Nice review! After watching a handful of your videos settled on a Beast x for my new fingertip mouse. Been trying to RMA my viper mini SE and razer support giving me quite the run around..

[@nez5732]

currently looking for a replacement for my x2 mini, it had a good run but its now dying, i really hoped that the sora v2 came with that 8k dongle, sucks it doesnt, might give the x2h a chance since i palm grip, Great Vid btw, oh and, hope to see more iem vids, lots a bangers released this month, cheers!

[@ALostTerrapin]

Wdym by dying?

[@nez5732]

@@ALostTerrapin battery is dead, side buttons dont work since the connector somehow broke, and theres double clicking issues, i think i just got unlucky with unit variation.

[@iNasteable]

What about the battery life? I do own Sora 4K, and when i put 4000hz and peak performance in software, the mouse drops from 100% to 60% battery level in like 40-50min of gameplay. That is just so frustrating

[@Anon-ro2ip]

How does the shape compare to the EGG XM1? Currently on a 4 year old XM1, using an aggressive claw grip, and was wondering whether this is a worthy upgrade.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Hmmmm. It’s not going to feel as aggressively angled imo. But it’s nice and I think you’d like it

[@samtheham3187]

Hey dude! Great review. I've got a bit of a dilemma and I don't know how to decide. I really want to purchase an x2h mini (shinobu for better QC and everything since its a guaranteed new batch) but then I heard of all this sora v2 hype. How do the 2 compare? Are they very similar?? How do I decide which one to get besides the 4k compatibility, mainly just care about shape to be honest. Ive heard the sides of the sora v2 are pretty tapered, how would you compare the sides of the sora v2 and pulsar x2h mini? Like for example if pulsar x2h mini sides were 7/10 tapered what would sora v2 be? Thanks man

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Who said they were drastically tapered?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Also, you can check eloshapes for a general idea

[@samtheham3187]

@@FreshReviewsYT One guy i talked to on a mouse community discord server, said the sides were too aggressive for his liking

[@rat2128]

Any info about latency?

[@yamsu8975]

In your opinion, is there a big difference between sora 4k and sora v2. I can't decide. The weight is not a difference for me, I care about good side buttons, because I use them a lot.

[@MieziWithSunglxzz]

The 4K should be the better choice then, most people consider the 4k as one of the most flawless mice out there.

How would you compare the Padsmith Crucible to the Saturn Pro? better, worse?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Both great. Crucible is all speed tho

[@sincariucarturalbert1275]

Hello mister, I want to choose between AX and NP01, I have 20x11 hands somewhere there, I mained the deathadder and glorious model D in the past, Now I use the g303 shroud edition, I also used the hyperx Haste and all of these were pretty nice shapes. Shapes I used and didn't like: Viper mini, orochi v2, finalmouse ninja air58 clone (darmoshark m3). I can use almost all kind of gripstyles if the mouse is comfy (pincer claw, claw, relaxed claw, palm but not that much, fingertip-palm) so I would want to know which of these 2 Outset AX or NP01 would be better suited for me. Most likely if the the NP01 is a shape in-between deathadder/zowie ec/glorious model D (all almost same shapes) and a hyperx haste it would be a fantastic mouse for me. But the AX is a safer option considering my history with mice so I wanted your opinion.

@@FreshReviewsYT good to know. I just got the OP1 and it's too thin for me. Do you have any recommendations for something close enough to the Vaxee Xe but lighter? That is my goat but when I play with these lighter mice I can really feel the benefit of that lighter weight.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

@@mmayojr could try a gpx 2, which is slightly different of course and more neutral. The xe did just get the 4k dongle upgrade as well which could be very nice. The sora v2 would be worth a try but it will feel noticeable smaller. Not a bad option at all though

[@mmayojr]

@@FreshReviewsYT I copped that 4k dongle as soon as it came out. I was thinking of the GPX. I had it a few years ago but that was when I just switched to PC and wasn't really sure what was my grip style at the time. I play claw relaxed/aggressive depending on the scenario. I think I might get them both and give em a try.

[@histxmi9579]

when do you think razer is dropping a competitive mouse such as viper v2 pro/mini se?

Good question!

Idk what there doing. They know everyone wanted a viper mini wireless. They give everyone what they want but in small batches at high price. Idk what there problem is with just making a viper mini wireless considering they already have a base of the viper mini 8k.

I like the sora more just because it’s wider feeling so your hands likely won’t cramp as easy

[@lorenz7550]

Ordered it from ninjutso directly. Pretty excited to try such a light mouse. For productivity I have a mx master 3s and if I wanna do anything where a lighter mouse is nice, I have to unplug my G Pro X Superlight from my simulator and put it on my setup. Now I don‘t have to do that and the mouse will be lighter. So really looking forward to it when I‘ve received the mouse 👀. Was in between the beast x amd the sora but I was like: Fuck it, I‘ll go with the sora…

[@RideTheSkies]

Is the price going up after the pre-orders? Also, don't really care for 4k. Gamer Nexus has a good video on latency. Mouse latency is one of the smaller parts of latency. Unless you have a really good to great rig and have close to or the skill of a FPS pro, it's not going to matter much. Even then, 4k isn't a huge step up from 2k. Many still use Zowie EC2 or standard g-pro. Also, while you can improve to get close to the level of a pro, lets be real... a lot of it is genetic. You can have 12k hours in FPS games but that doesn't always mean you'll have better aim or faster twitch than a person with 1k hours.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Personally, if you have 12,000 hours in a video game and suck. You just need to evaluate why and change. A lot of it is genetics. A lot of it is mindset.

[@RideTheSkies]

​@@FreshReviewsYTOf course, never said you would suck. 12k hours and you would definitely be a lot better than your average player and should be very high ranked player. Shooters, while aim may transition quite a bit from game to game, you definitely still have a lot to learn. Mouse reviewer/great quake player Rocket Jump Ninja has great aim and is still finding ways to improve that. I love that mindset. He got into Apex which is a completely different genre of shooters and he still has a lot to learn and not close to a pro. If he aimed to be a pro, he may get there eventually but at his age, it's unlikely. The oldest pro I know of in that game is around 33-34 and he is a controller player which does quite a bit of the tracking for you and can have unreal reaction time. That input is known to be a lot better in close range encounters also in most games with crossplay because of the consistency it has in tracking at 15m or less. RJN also just doesn't have the free time to get there. lol. I will stand by my sentiment that a good rig is very important and if you're playing on a 1650 super, you're at a severe disadvantage even if there was a godly mouse that was perfect in every way. Sorry for the essay. lol TLDR; of course you wouldn't suck and should be a really good player by then. I agree mindset is very important in any game and there are always ways to improve. Aim can transition from game to game but you won't be great at said game without time put in. A good system is still more important than a mouse and you need to reevaluate your choices if you're a competitive mouse enthusiast and put more money in that than your rig itself. Love you channel btw

[@MaZEEZaM]

ANNOYINGLY as i bought this before i realised.. Given their last mouse was a 4K mouse, I anticipated it being a 4,000Hz dongle but NO, ITS ONLY 1,000Hz 🤬 and I had anticipated charging this on the same USB C cable I use for my phone and Logitech mouse but NO, they force a proprietary tight connection which ISN'T STANDARD 🤬 WHY Ninjutso. It Should have come with a 4,000Hz dongle and used a Standard USB C port and I would have been very happy with it as otherwise I really like this mouse. It's so light, I feel like I'm holding empty egg shell, the movement because of its tiny weight is So much easier and the clicks themselves are much easier to click fast than my Logitech G502 X. If it had 4k dongle, normal USB C on mouse connection and had a small sniper button which I use for discord team chat, plus Logitechs infinite scrollwheel with a tiny push button to switch between the current stepped scroll to infinite smooth spin, it would be my ideal mouse. Logitech's infinite scroll wheel and click to switch to stepped scroll is so great, I miss it when using the Sora V2 scrollwheel. As it currently is, its disappointing but has a lot of good aspects and a lot of potential. NINJUTSO Make these changes for Sora V3 and I would order it. Lastly, a slightly easier to switch power switch would also be nicer as its difficult to power on and off and as far as website software, please add info that flashes up beside options to explain what the modes do.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I do not know if it is true, but they had a twitter post that you will not need an additional dongle. They made it sound as though the 1k dongle will have an update to go higher.
