[@paul2609]

Please pin this as a PSA. The switches here are hotswappable without soldering as long they are Raesha optical switches, you just pull the switches out with your fingers/nail (I just saw another video of someone doing this to this same mouse), so you can put your Razer or Pulsar switches on these. Razer optical are my favourite kind of Raesha opticals, very tactile so I would swap for those.

[@kosie3897]

I find these switches loud and annoying, are there any Raesha optical switches that you know of that are quieter but still good? I have a Razer DeathAddder v2 and don't mind the sound of that switch (definitely not as loud as this one in my Keris II). Also do you have a link to that video where someone swaps the switches? I'm interested to have a look :) Thanks!

You said that improved "DPI deviation" will provide more consistency This perplexed me a bit because the only definition of "dpi deviation" I know of in gaming mice is a unit-to-unit deviation. For example: If you get two XM1rs and set them both go 400 DPI, one of them may have a real DPI of 395 while the other one may have a DPI of 412

[@DiamondLobbyReviews]

I'm just going by what they say in their press kit they sent. And also partially me over simplifying it to keep the section short. and also maybe me getting mixed up with polling rate stability

[@daniellozobia5386]

@@DiamondLobbyReviews Generally, what @d34thnote79 wrote is true. DPI deviation doesn't matter if it's consistent. However, there are scenarios where DPI may vary based on speed. That's the only thing I can really think of, especially once you get into the really high DPI range (which essentially nobody uses, but could have some theoretical benefit).

[@paul2609]

Not necessarily per unit deviation. DPI deviation usually mean how accurate their firmware handles the specified DPI (+/-). The distance of the mouse sensor is to the bottom plate of the mouse will have an influence on DPI, that's why changing mouse feet can affect the DPI of the same moue because your new skates might be thicker. That's why despite mice using the same sensor across many brands, there will always be deviation because of the distance of the sensor will vary per shell design, not necessarily because of unit by unit deviation though it is a factor but not that much. Good brands would see their 800 DPI is actually '821' on most of the units so they will probably bake some correction onto their firmware (like subtracting 2.5% across all DPI levels or something). The G Pro Superlight's DPI deviation is usually super accurate, 800 DPI is 800 (maybe +/- 2) while people always felt that Razer mice felt faster than specified which is common, Razer would have a DPI of 800 but actual is 832 for example.

Great review! I really can’t stand these Raesha opticals. I returned multiple Razer mice and the Lamzu Thorn hoping they would improve over the years, but they just feel and sound like a toy and also do not age well. It has to be either Omron opticals or mechanicals for me and literally no one comes close to Vaxee when it comes to switches.

Technically optical switches are hotswappable no? I swapped my Pulsar X2H switches with Razer ones without any issue.

They are if they are made by the same company. Pulsar X2H and Razer opticals are made by the same company (raesha). In theory you've just swapped the same switch over.

ASUS software is a deciding factor for me -- deal breaker -- I CRINGE at the thought of having SteelSeries, Razer, Logitech any more SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE of their giant multi-gigabyte driver monoliths. Best case you get near-daily updates, that prevent you from using years-old hardware while software is updated with beta-grade features for hardware you'll never own. Worst-case, like with my SteelSeries (realtek) audio hardware, Windows Update even pushed unwanted third-party software to people's computers that cannot be uninstalled even after the hardware's gone. I own two Ninjutso mice and, despite its weird inability to be resized to not take up your entire screen, their software is easily the best out there: only what you need and nothing you don't. They even have a separate copy for each SKU. I LOVE THAT.

[@damienriot]

Unless you use a potato, the barebone armory crate for keris 2 specially doesn't create any issue. Razer and Corsair's software are also nice. It's same as your ninjutsu mice. Separate armory crate for your mouse kb etc. the way some of you nitpick without even researching is kinda lame. Also, another point is if an Asus and Razer high end mouse can be found in 60 countries all over the world, ninjutsu will not even be found in 15. So buying a niche product without warranty is a bit no go. ROG hotswappable switch based mice at least last for years unlike many Logitech, razer, zowies. Swapping key switches are super easy

[@Proton_Decay]

@@damienriot Razer Chroma was one of the softwares that turned me onto Ninjutso lol. I don't deny that a company can turn around a cost center and release great accompanying software, but the last time I tried it was I think 2021 and it was relatively unchanged (this was shortly after the time of the scandal with the software giving admin access to PCs thanks to being installed via a push through Windows update - and it did get pushed to my PC via windows update when I plugged in a Razer mouse which is also a major turnoff for me).

[@megatf]

Rofl "quite abrasive" Has an arm sleeve. You know what abrasive means right? "1. (of a substance or material) capable of polishing or cleaning a hard surface by rubbing or grinding." How much did you get paid to say that the coating was quite abrasive? Like we are gonna destroy our hands gripping this mouse. Textured, the mouse is textured. You don't like how "textured" the mouse surface is. The difference between textured and abrasive is that texture is a preference. Abrasive is dangerous.
