The Best Gaming Mice I've Ever Used

[@nedredguy]

[@schokoflogge6749]

When he said "I'm a pretty casual fps player" and has actually the best aim out of all the techtubers and reviewers out there lmao Ali is just to humble

[@TWJYILY]

Think Haus is better but that's cause he's an ex pro lol.

[@Kaes2]

@@TWJYILY haus is really only decent in csgo, his aim seems sub par on other game’s clips. Optimum aim looks good on Valo, Apex and OW. I also think haus has really questionable opinions on mice and mousepads.

[@methhead56]

@Gappy Haus is the better tac fps player while I’d say for apex, ow optimum beats him out. Haus always says in game performance is the most important so that’s why his opinions may seem different from others, which I respect

[@josearturo6169]

Surprised you didn't include the pwnage ultra custom symm 2(long name, I know) I bought it based on your recommendation and it's an excellent mouse for gaming and even production, as well as excellent value and build quality. Everyone should check it out I think.

[@Unitedairlinesx]

I also had the Pwnage Symm 2, honestly couldn't compare it to any of the 5 mice that was mentioned. I honestly think Symm 2 is overrated it feels very heavy, but I like the fact you can buy different shells.

Superbly agree on the MZ1 Wireless - The coating isn't pog, the weight is nuts for what it is (after my weight reduction mod I got it down to 40g and it's actually insane), lastly is the RGB...yeah it looks super sick, but holy shit does it eat into the battery life. Great video mate, love to see your personal 5!

Do you experience double click issue? I've been and it's so annoying

In the weight reduction u did, u keep the side buttons and the scrollwheel?? And if u do can yoy tell me how u did it (sorry for my bad english man)

[@dimwillow7113]

i dont get it.. used cabled MZ1 for over 1 year..coating is good... i modded mine though.. removed the back panel and all rgb so mine is sub 50g as well.. but yeah no problem with coating..must be different humidity or grip styles..

[@SP-jg2vl]

@@kozuta8858 Shape is great but VU has better sensor lower latency I can feel the difference. VU is more snappier.

[@simptrix007]

I prefer coating on the Razer Viper V2 Pro over Superlight over longer sessions. I got sweaty hands and Superlight feels too sticky. Based on the tech used for sensors and switches resistant to double clicking I would recommend everyone to try Viper V2 Pro and DA3 Pro before anything else. If you go for the shape first I prefer UL2 over anything else till my fingers start to hurt from honeycomb sides (Infinity skins dont last forever).

[@Slavolko]

My Deathadder Chroma gets sweaty as well. I don't know if you've had any experience with the older Deathadders, but if you have, do you know if the Viper V2 Pro's coating is an improvement?

The X2 is superb but Lamzu Atlantis def has an edge over the X2 imo. Optimum should check that out

[@anotherjustyy]

[@HaanSoIo]

You gotta remember Lamzu is claw mostly, x2 is fingertip which is what he uses + it's a lot bigger, and smaller mice are better for fingertip

Hey, great video as always. Wanted to lyk that g-wolves is coming out with an even newer version of the HSK, the HSK pro, which is like 28 grams wireless or something and also will support 4k - i feel like that could interest you more than the HSK+

[@nags5080]

I am surprised that Razer didn't make it to the list. Hopefully with razer viper mini wireless will make to the next list.

[@robotsix6268]

I don't think he likes the brand itself.

[@Definitely_Melnyx]

@@robotsix6268 The latency is strong, but the grips are different from what people like. Viper has no real backhump, so its flat and deathadder v3 is ergo, which is also heavily preference. Any other doesn’t make the cut and so I thinks it is understandable.

[@spammus1]

Finalmouse would be so good if they actually did something to avoid the crazy scalping and if they actually made their mice available to people. All they do is hype up those weird "limited launches" and then have absolutely NO bots protection or anti scalping measures whatsoever, and you'll often see people who bought like twenty different models in one go just to sell them on ebay the day after for three times the price. It would literally be enough if they just limited it to "one/two items per customer". No amount of quality justifies this kind of behaviour.

[@tehehe5929]

It would be quite a plot twist if they themselves sold these mice on ebay instead of the shop and this whole shop was just a smoke screen. Because why not get 3 times the money?

I think one thing that should be mentioned about the carbon fibre Zaunkoenig M2K is that it has no side buttons whatsoever. Which I would personally find quite irritating as I often use them both in games and for just general internet browsing.

Can't wait till you compare the 23g M2K to the 26g HSK ($109-$150).

[@kleinc2584]

You mentioned you ordered the HSK+ but I suggest preordering the new HSK 4k or HSK Pro. They made the shape smaller than the HSK+ and is more similar to the M2K in size. Wireless, 4k polling rate, and 25-29g. Might be an upgrade from the M2K since the specs on paper are so good.

[@nutella4eva]

Was super hoping he'd look at the HSK 4K/Ace. Side buttons look like their in the right place now, and they cut the weight down so much. Been tempted to just dive in myself but I'll wait for reviews.

[@kelownatechkid]

This mouse looks endgame, wow

[@parth7092]

HSK 4K or HSK Pro isn't close to the M2K in shape/size. It is way smaller, much more narrow, and much flatter.

[@VertigoX26]

Also check out the G-Wolves HSK Pro with PMW-3395! It comes in two varieties: Ace which is 1000 Hz and the 4K which is 4000 Hz. I currently have the Plus and love it, though think I'll prefer the button positioning on the Pro more.
