Top 10 Gaming Mice of 2024!

[@ToMmY-lt7dw]

There are sooo many mice being released these times, that the most important thing to look for in a mouse rn is 100% the shape. They are all getting 4k, 8khz and the best specs now, that the shape, and build quality, should really be the only thing that decides our buying decision.

[@dustinmihalcheon5013]

Most sensors and switches are similar or the same so I picked on shape and convenience. A local store let me try out the Zowie U2 to see how it fit my hand. Like a glove apparently lol. And the included charging dock/receiver sold me. It’s only 1k but I felt no real difference with the 4K ULX I used to have. I had the Sora V2 for a long time and it was great but my hand doesn’t miss it.

[@MaisonMargielaaLive]

Could not agree more!

[@Dan-Simms]

You would be surprised how bad some sensors are when tested with robots.

[@dustinmihalcheon5013]

@ Probably lol. I’ve had a lot of luck with them and just settled on what felt the best. I never did try Pulsar. Will likely get their current newest one when my Zowie breaks.

[@banana_bread_at_work]

Software or lack of needing software is also important to me. IIRC the Pulsar doesn't need software?

[@ashy3340]

We still acting like 8k polling is worth it??

[@korrakinTech]

Yeah 8k is definitely gimmicky. I think the sweet spot is 1-4k polling hz depending on the dpi you use. I use 400 dpi and it barely even reaches 1k most times. I think someone who used 800-1600dpi should be going for a 2-4k polling hz mouse.

[@353darkesthour]

Unless you’re playing 3200 dpi on a 480hz+ monitor, 8k is pointless. Even at that echelon, the additional smoothness is marginal.

[@JambiVX]

In a way. Even if you use low sensitivity, having a higher poll rate does help if you have to flick your mouse every so often. The fast movements take advantage of the poll rate

[@Zer0TF2Gaming]

1k is the sweetspot according to optimum. Only thing you're getting by going higher than that is less battery life. ​@@korrakinTech

[@ACTIVlS.1]

It lowk is

[@Krymms]

Think EGG XM2 8k also deserved a mention in the OP1 8k segment for people who want a bit wider mouse.

[@korrakinTech]

I agree. I own an Endgame gear OP1 8k and it would definitely be way too skinny for a good amount of people I think. I have quite small hands with not very long fingers so the mouse works well for me. Another thing someone considering buying a mouse above 1k polling hz is the game they play and how new it is. I know when I tried playing Fortnite with a buddy of mine, using anything above 1k polling would cause insane stutters in game when moving the mouse left and right quickly. My pc is pretty good so I figure it can run higher polling rates (I have a Ryzen 9 7950x and Rtx 3080)

[@aloysiusyudistianto3611]

Used the previous video in this series for my mouse purchase, happy to see this series of yearly mouse recommendations continue.

[@isaacwong2450]

I think the pulsar X2V2 & X2H are highly underrated. The only bad things about them both is QC issues and (on the black model) smudge issues on the coating.

[@randomfrankp]

I love them too, but they came out in 2023.

[@kyrylobordiuh3996]

​@@randomfrankp x2h v3 came out this year?

[@Pistaciio]

Holy crap my boys got featured!

[@djnohands3632]

What about the endgame xmw2 4k?

[@TKJLIVE]

It weighs 60 grams and people are crying about it😂

[@Jezee213]

Great overhead shots and B-roll man. Nice touch matching the colours and stuff 👏🏻

[@Bizarro1606]

One rumour about scyrox ive heard that its lamzu in disguise...

[@borcio02]

What about new xm2w 4k from endgame?

[@jR0xas]

OP1 8k for me. I much prefer how mechanical switches feel compared to opticals. The shape is also exactly what I was looking for in a mouse being similar to my favourite fingertip shape the X2V2 Mini which I also still use.

[@o9omc]

I bought an OP1 8k and swapped to the XM2w 4k mainly because of the shape being a little too small for my hands. Still a great mouse though and with a bungee it feels almost wireless.

[@jR0xas]

@@o9omc Yeah the XM2w 4k or XM2 8k is amazing too, same specs and everything just different shape and no hot swapping unfortunately! There's just something about mechanical switches, they feel way better than any opticals. I have small hands and like to claw/fingertip my mice so the X2 and OP1 shapes are perfect for me.

[@Dan-Simms]

I've been looking for a good vertical mouse that i can actually game on, but they all seem to suck, horrible sensors. And im poor so i cant just buy and try all of them, would love to see some of my favorite tech channels test some, hint hint.

[@anthonydiana7297]

Literally just thinking yesterday that I wanted this video from you. Thank you!!

[@PAX1DEI]

Not me literally looking for blackfriday deals and bro just uploaded this vid

[@Kaiyening]

I’m so happy to see the Hitscan Hyperlight here 😄 I’ll buy myself soon too, I think. It will fight for my main with a ULX Competition. I do have mostly a fingertip grip, though. Tbh as a readily available everywhere larger safer mouse is easier to recommend to an average Joe so I understand why Viper topped the list here and not the Hyperlight. Hitscan seemed like really cool people when I emailed them, btw.

[@IntenseSlacker]

Fnatic maya x is my choice. Feels great, good price, and completely solid mouse overall.

[@TREPLE]

Idk what to choose I’m debating between Pulsar X2H Mini & Scyrox V8, can someone tell me what’s the best out of these (price doesn’t matter, I like small & fast mices)

[@rakuzan7467]

im using pulsar x2h mini atm and honestly im thinking to buy op1 cuz im also into small mouses and x2h mini is not a perfectly small mouse , is literally as wide as some medium/big mouses

[@TREPLE]

@ I just searched about OP1, it looks good but unfortunately it’s wired only I forgot to mention that I wanted wireless mouse it just feels more comfortable to me without wires unless I’m not gaming

[@rakuzan7467]

@@TREPLE they have wireless aswell

[@TREPLE]

@@rakuzan7467 oh cool will check it out

[@jR0xas]

X2H better clicks, better build quality. Scyrox lighter weight and 8k polling. It's just a clone of the X2H.

[@Vzh_]

Op1 8k or g pro x superlight 1? Both are 80eur or hitscan hyperlight for 97eur shipped without dongle. I play with 800dpi i dont think i need more than 4k polling

[@iginow2218]

Should I get Ninjutso Sora V2 or Lamzu Fnatic Maya 8K?

Fnatic x Lamzu MAYA 8K for sure

Hi Frank. I just subscribed and look forward to your videos. Paul from Paul's Hardware says Hi.

[@JaMonCete2009]

Not sure if it is in the comments, too many :D Is it any list specific for left hand players? Only VAXEE has one for left hands (it is fine any like the Logitech with exchange buttons) Great thanks for all the videos.

[@rmgw226]

What do you think of the Razer Viper V3 Hyperspeed, as a bit of a cheaper choice?

[@Oascany]

I would go with the discounted Viper V2 Pro at that point. It's going for about $99 now. I'm planning to go pick it up tomorrow lol my G305 has the double-click issue.

[@rmgw226]

@ I’m jus a bit broke and i can find a v3 hyperspeed for ~£45

[@Fastway640]

What’s the keyboard?

[@Kazz881]

GX Speed mode on or off for the OP1 8k latency test?

[@ferusic2463]

Must be off since it doesn't make sense at all that it isn't faster than Maya X. Although the test result seem to be off no matter what since OP1 8k should have same click latency on 1k and 8k.

[@stefanpapdi5151]

can do latency test with gx speed

[@Frozoken]

​@ferusic2463 it could make sense seeing his latency includes pre travel and the maya x has an extremley little amount of it but who knows

[@mikerzisu9508]

What scale are you using?

[@cosmicvcosmic]

Do mousepads matter? Or is there no noticeable difference

[@hainguyen-z1z6k]

It matters. Better material = better experience and you get to choose the speed of them as well

[@eakmadashma]

Hitscan hyperlight and op1 8k are the bangers for me. OP1 click polling at 8k even if sensor is 1k along with the faster click tech make it worth the wire and the hitscan hyperlight has been my viper mini replacement being close enough and wireless 40g

[@liorsavion9313]

what do you think about the wlmouse sword x?

[@mashedtomatoes1180]

Hell yeah ive been waiting for this to come out

[@syedrehanfida]

I have the Viper Mini and would like to get the DAV3H, but I have never used that shape. How much do the shapes differ?

[@mikerzisu9508]

Completely different.

[@ferusic2463]

Dav3 (no matter what version unless it's the bad mini) will feel way larger and annoyingly bulky in all likelihood.
