The ergo that changes everything. (LAMZU Thorn Review)

Correction. There is grips in the box and I'm just blind!

[@maltakar9879]

Wth, this is one of the best reviews Ive seen ever… for any product. Love how you emphasize every little detail about the shape and grip. Was thinking about buying a Thorn and this review convinced me. Cheers mate!

[@Raynoxfps]

this review makes me feel really good, because i preordered before watching it

[@absolutelyaverageaudioreviews]

I was looking for a detailed shape explanation, especially in regards to the EC2, and you did that in a very understandable manner. Thanks alot for that!

[@its_yifang]

No worries! Hope you enjoyed!

[@sEaNoYeAh]

Purchased on the basis of this review as a Vaxee Outset user (which will be hard to beat long term for me personally). One thing I'll add is that its a widespread community misconception that the EC shape was designed for palm grip, the curvature is actually primarily intended to tilt the wrist away from flat as this increases wrist range of motion and reduces compression of nerves and tendons. The human wrist is not evolved to be rotated with the palm flat downwards, your natural wrist resting position has your hand in vertical alignment. Tilt grip mouse designs speak to this and are therefore both more ergonomic and more suitable for any degree of wrist aiming, not just for wrist health but for function too. That the EC allows people with smaller hands to fully place their whole hand and palm on the mouse body is incidental. There is some documentation about this out there, and in Vaxee's introduction video about the Outset they speak about how previously they had designed a tilt grip mouse (i.e the EC). Also old versions of the Zowie site always mentioned wrist aim and wrist range of motion on the EC page, and didn't mention palm grip at all. It's only since the community has come to consider it and related shapes as "palm grip" mice that Zowie has started selling the EC that way. Relaxed tilt grip claw is basically exactly what this family of shapes are made for.

[@haydenkormait]

How is it. I dont know whether to get this or the outset ax 4k.

[@8020Alive]

Love the high profile of this. Might consider it myself. 🤔

[@its_yifang]

The high profile is magic for large hands

glad to see the emphasis you put on sensor placement. It is one of my biggest pet peeves with mice. Far too many mice have the sensor further aft than it should be.

Great review. I like your explanation and demonstration of the palm and relaxed claw grip styles. I'm looking for an ergo mouse because I'll be using it for long hours (work, everyday computer, and casual gaming). I ended up buying the Thorn for now, and waiting for the Pulsar Xlite V3 (size 2) to become available on Amazon.

[@its_yifang]

Definitely an Xlite V3 angle for more relaxed usage, and appreciate your feedback! Hope you like both the mice and the video was of help, I just reviewed the Xlite V3 as well!

[@lmf22]

@@its_yifang I do like the sound of a more relaxed usage, because I'm on the computer more than 10 hours a day. I have a relaxed grip style as well. I switch between palm and relaxed claw; definitely not aggressive claw. I just watched your Xlite V3 video and about to leave a comment and questions there.

Looks good! What’s your hand size for comparisons sake? Also, how is the coating? I was leaning towards the xm2we for its great coating but I think the shape of this mouse might fit my hand better.

[@its_yifang]

21x12 hand size. XM2we has better coating than this but both work fine imo, I'd put grips on them all regardless and shape definitely a more important factor.

Unfortunately not a G703 clone and I'd say it is more or less its own thing. There are similarities but overall nah...

[@giow.9517]

Oh yea btw i was thinking about getting the white color. Do u think the coating can get discoloring over time for the white?

[@its_yifang]

Probably, all mice with white coating can get that eventually if you don't care for it. However if you take care of it, my superlight has been with me since it initially released and still hasn't discoloured yet!

[@Gingercs]

does lamzu thorn have on board memory?

[@EnnTomi1]

kinda bit contrary to what fresh review said. He doesnt like the size being slightly wider and bigger, limits a bit vertical movement. also he doesnt like the clicks, saying too much pre and post travel.

[@its_yifang]

Funny enough I think vertical movement is perfect on this mouse and I love the clicks. Fresh's opinions are... well... sometimes questionable is all I can say 😅

[@СексиКун]

Whats your hand size and do you think it’s a good fit for small hands?

[@its_yifang]

Unfortunately this one probably isn't ideal for small hands. I'm 21x12 I feel like this would be for minimum 18x8 hand size. With my hand size I still wish for slightly larger, so I'd assume something around 19x10 would be perfect match for this.

[@СексиКун]

@@its_yifang got it, thanks g, great review btw

[@ChessBoxin]

Does the 2 circle dot skates added give it a slower or faster feeling? I just got mine and by default they're off. Rather not add/remove if someone knows based on experience. Also, I just downloaded the app and it has something called "Peak performance". I don't remember having that option on the lamzu mini or motion sync capabilities to remove it or not. I think I read that motion sync adds input lag. Peak performance is that meant to be similar to what Vaxee promotes on their mouse?

[@its_yifang]

My skates were on by default and more skates will feel less fast. I'm not sure what peak performance is but I assume it should be a competitive firmware and better to keep it on. I also leave motion sync on all my mice, not sure about adding latency this is the first I've heard of it...

[@pureau6383]

@@its_yifang I believe that motion sync only causes latency when there is bad firmware. From memory there was latency with the compex 3395, because of poor implementation. There should be no latency from motion sync with the nordic chips

[@HeizTony]

How does this compare to a deatheradder v3?

[@its_yifang]

I like this significantly more than the DAV3 and think it is better in pretty much all aspects for my preferences aside from tech specs which are objective...

[@its_yifang]

@@hi3u164 Atlantis Mini is an aggressive claw mouse so you'll have to be really locked in at all times, but sizing wise it should fit you.

[@its_yifang]

This mouse is definitely bigger. I don't have an NP-01s on me to directly compare unfortunately and I have a different grip when I tried the NP-01s, but it also has to do with your hand size. Relaxed claw VS aggressive claw also varies.

[@fpsLyle]

@@its_yifang it seems like this shape could a midpoint between np-01 & np-01s which would fit me perfect for relaxed claw. Excited to try it

@@fpsLyle NP-01 series will have lower profile, I think this would be more similar to an Outset AX than NP-01. It's extremely good for relaxed claw regardless however!

[@glashausAimz2]

why dont they make the whole bottom a skate?

[@its_yifang]

Weight...

[@glashausAimz2]

@@its_yifang i am just wondering if this would make a significant difference. maybe the weight would be justified and even if it would cost like 10 grams, on a 50g mouse that still wouldn't make it heavy in my book.

[@its_yifang]

@@glashausAimz2 Update from Lamzu themselves, it was moreso to make it more aesthetic and unique, keeping in theme with "Thorn". They could've made a solid a solid shell without really influencing weight much, but it was also because they wanted the PCB and internals to be visible. They could've made a large solid base and reduced the size of the PCB internally since you wouldn't see it, but because they wanted it to be visible, the PCB is large while the base isn't solid.

[@glashausAimz2]

@@its_yifang i didn't mean to complain about the holes. i had an xlite v2 and no issues with them. i am wondering why no one makes the whole bottom of the mouse a solid PTFE plate/skate and if there would be any advantages in doing so. maybe added stability and a more even feeling on xsoft pads. sometimes i feel like only the left front foot sinks in on my venus pro and it's kinda annoying. i am guessing we will reach soon 40g mice, maybe it would be worthwhile to add this. think of a lower center of gravity.

[@its_yifang]

@@glashausAimz2 I definitely agree with you here in preferring larger skate area. I am also an xsoft pad user and have experienced baseplate scratching on smaller skates... Terrible feeling!

[@I3asyl]

Overall does it feel bigger than the ec2? My hands are 20 x 10cm and just worried its abit short n buttons would hang in my relaxed claw. X2h medium is my go too n perfect size atm

This size would be perfect for you.

[@I3asyl]

@@its_yifang Just curious is it still ur main after trying the x2h? I absolutely love the x2h but i know the thorn will bring a slightly diff feel since the hump isnt in the back and more gradual. Also, curious what ur thoughts are on using smaller/thinner mice and getting used to them. I found my micro adjustments are better on the x2h mini but i lose some of that stability and consistency. It's just weird cuz i can feel a higher ceiling with the mini.

[@its_yifang]

@@I3asyl Nay I am back to the HTS+ 4K. I just play the best on that mouse for whatever reason... The higher ceiling is definitely true to an extent, probably why I'm playing so well HTS+ 4K too since I'm at a higher level.
