From what Ive heard, the previous director of Lamzu, hired one of the engineers of Lamzu and made Scyrox, the engineer's name is Ahyam La Ying.

[@mjrmonkey]

@@DeadEyeScope-LTD ah okay yeah i had been hearing a bunch of stuff, super interesting though

[@kronos2550]

What mic are you using? Sounds crispy

[@mjrmonkey]

@@kronos2550 thank you! 🙏🏼 i’m using the DJI Mic 2 with the Rode Lavalier 2 attached to the receiver

[@Xevo234]

I am torn in between getting Scyrox v8 or spending more for Lamzu Maya X. I know these are pretty different in shape but I dont know which I like more. The price difference is pretty saginificant and I dont know if I can justify getting Maya here or maybe I dont see something

[@mjrmonkey]

@@Xevo234 yeah definitely two different mice when it comes to shape and on top of that almost double the cost of the Scyrox. Me personally especially if you’re like me and enjoy claw grip the V8 is a no brainer

[@Raven_614]

Just based off a theme I'm seeing with these Chinese mice, I'd turn down the polling rate from 8kz cuz you're probably not actually getting 8k. Mad R Major is supposedly 8k but its more like 5.5k. and yes I have tried it at 3200 dpi and 1600 dpi and 3200 reads around 4.9 - 5.1 on average. So it's just wasting resources for no reason. 2k usually seems to be spot on though.

[@mjrmonkey]

@@Raven_614 hmm interesting, imma try that today and see what I get!

[@chrisschenkel323]

Nice review. Does it have onboard memory and the settings automatically will be saved?

[@mjrmonkey]

@@chrisschenkel323 yes the changes you make from its Web Based Hub save on the mouse once you make a change

[@chrisschenkel323]

@@mjrmonkey thank you sir

[@immortalsteel631]

Looking forward to more reviews

[@mjrmonkey]

@@immortalsteel631 thank you! I have a couple other new ones if you'd like to check them out 🫡

[@ArnoldSmithFergusson]

Need more B-roll that focused on the products rather than your setup. Btw great mic

[@mjrmonkey]

@@ArnoldSmithFergusson everyone does that already, purposely went away from that so i’m not just another cinematic b roll reviewer lol, will think of some things to fill the video with though thank you 🙏🏼

[@Xevo234]

what skates would you recommend for scyrox as I didnt see any custom ones that are desinged for this mouse. So I can probably only use dots or donuts?

[@mjrmonkey]

@@Xevo234 for customs i’m not sure which brands are offering large ones that fit, but dot skates and anything small like that are universal so it should be fine 👍🏼

[@asddfjkkl]

Hey man, are the sides flatter than the sora v2 or the same?

[@mjrmonkey]

@@asddfjkkl hmmm holding both right now and honestly they’re very very similar, the sora is SLIGHTLY longer so it may feel a little flatter than the V8 but man we’re talking SLIGHTLY

[@asddfjkkl]

@@mjrmonkey didn't see the reply, still got the v8 due to your video lol, sides are flatter than sora v2 (for me). But yeah the sora has the flatter hump. they are similar but the tiny differences change a lot in how each mice feels. cheers!

[@mjrmonkey]

@@asddfjkkl ah that’s amazing! Yeah it’s so hard when people ask about the differences become everything doesn’t matter until you’re able to get your own hands on it you know? Stoked you went with the V8 and personally believe you made the better choice in the long run

[@collins5647]

Does 8khz work wired?

[@shansation3972]

How's the battery life on your Scyrox with your settings?

[@mjrmonkey]

@@shansation3972 as I mentioned in the video i haven’t personally had any issues with the battery life. I think I haven’t charged it in like 3 days and still don’t need to. I should also preface that I turn it off as soon as I’m done with it.

[@shansation3972]

@@mjrmonkey hmm, I don't turn mine off, expecting it to go to sleep so I'm still testing the battery life on mine (game mode on, 2000hz, motion sync) it drains like 25% in approx 2 hours of light use (work, zoom, 20 minutes of gameplay) and 5 hours of standby. So just trying to figure out if mine has a dud battery. With somewhat similar settings my mouse died on the 2nd day of not charging the day before on pretty much the same use case. over a 48 hour period.

[@mjrmonkey]

@@shansation3972 got it, what I can do is I’ll check it out for the next couple of days and see what I get since i’ll be paying close attention to it and can let you know 👍🏼 With budget mice like this I don’t really ever expect the battery to be long lasting in terms of duration

[@Juantexe]

For fortnite and calw grip do you recomend this or Op1 8k?

[@mjrmonkey]

@@Juantexe hmm for something like fortnite, that game can have its chaotic moments where you’re having to whip your camera very fast, depending on your sens the wire can be an issue if the whip in direction is too far in movement. Plus with the preference of claw grip I think both are stellar for that grip but with the V8 having more of an aggressive back hump you may prefer it over the OP1 8k’s less aggressive hump

[@mjrmonkey]

@@Juantexe the OP1 8k though is an absolutely nuts mouse so if you have the chance to grab it from something like amazon or somewhere that offers a simple and easy return option I think it’s still definitely worth a try. But yeah if not an option than what I said above about the V8 would be best

[@fortniteaccount1999]

I also bought this mouse, but I can't connect it in wireless mode. Even if I press the right, left and middle clicks, it doesn't light up yellow.

[@mjrmonkey]

@@fortniteaccount1999 hmm sorry to hear that, I highly recommend you go to Scyrox’s website and email their support. Hopefully they can help 🫡

[@nemo-]

what headphones are you using ?

[@mjrmonkey]

@@nemo- in terms of headphones I use the Edition XS from Hifiman and for IEMs I use the Hype 4 from Thieaudio!

[@elvismuharemovic5634]

Which one is better for relaxed claw ? Scyrox or mad major

[@mjrmonkey]

@@elvismuharemovic5634 hmm hard to say, would you rather have the mouse have its hump pushed further back on the mouse?

[@elvismuharemovic5634]

@@mjrmonkey I have mad major + already and Sora v2, looking to sell sora, thing that coating on Scyrox is better (have Scyrox on the way).. Mad major is like safe shape I think, I like the mice with better shapes and coating.. op1 8k is also Option cause of best coating..

[@mjrmonkey]

@@elvismuharemovic5634 for me personally i’d choose the Scyrox over the Mad R Major, the OP1 8k is a stellar mouse can’t wait to get the purple frost version of it

[@elvismuharemovic5634]

@@mjrmonkey agree I had op18k but sold it. It was the best mouse I had. Scyrox seems a bit bigger and wireless op1, might be even better cause it’s tiny bigger and weights less. Am gonna return the major and choose between Scyrox and op18k. Which one is better for you?

[@mjrmonkey]

@@elvismuharemovic5634 hmm between the two i’d probably choose the Scyrox but that’s just because the shape is perfect for my hand, but the OP1 8K is so goos

[@Ruly_73]

You think i could use with my ps5?

[@mjrmonkey]

@@Ruly_73 hmm well I know you can plug a keyboard and mouse into a console so I don’t see why not. Using it in 8k though i’m not sure. If the question is simply can i just use it overall than yeah I think so, if the question is specifically using the mouse in 8k than i don’t know

[@Ruly_73]

@@mjrmonkey nah I just meant for general gaming, without the 8k and such on a PS5 since I wanna use it for both PC and ps5

[@mjrmonkey]

@@Ruly_73 Yeah it’s just like any other mouse so since consoles have support for keyboard and mouse I think it would have no issues. Now i’m not sure if every console game supports M&K so you’ll have to look up the games specifically and see if they support that kind of thing

@@Ruly_73 thank you for checking out the vid and if you choose to get the mouse, hope you enjoy it man 🫡🤙🏼

[@Mog780]

From what ive seen, there are QC issues on the clicks, and tbh i dont think $80 is a budget option, not when you have attack shark, and VXE in the mix.

[@mjrmonkey]

@@Mog780 i mean budget mice are always going to have QC issues, speaking of VXE i just got my replacement for the Mad R Major lol but again that’s also a budget mouse.

[@Mog780]

@@mjrmonkey Yeah it seems that its mostly coinflips as to the quality on an individual level. I have both a VXE R1 Pro Max and a Mad R and both are as good as my Lamzu or EGG mice.

[@mjrmonkey]

@@Mog780 yeah just kinda comes with the territory of budget mice, it’s always a risk especially when ordering from the first initial batches. Kinda feels like the first batch is like an Open Beta for a game, you find the issues and when the second batch (full game) comes out it’ll be smoother

could get it at $40 in south east asia

do you problem on the click that it wiggles or slides

@@dummyacc6288 there is a little bit of side wobble on the main clicks, but if i’m being completely honest I guess it’s a bit expected with it being a budget chinese mouse. Not once has that bit of side wobble ever felt like it negatively impacted my experience.
