Mice on your “To Try” List?

[fraps]

What are some of the mice you wish to try but haven’t been able to, either due to the fact that they don’t exist or other reasons?
For me the two on the top of my list are the Deathadder V4 Pro, due to the ridiculous price, and the Lamzu Thorn as I’m waiting for an updated version with omron opticals and a 3950 sensor or better.
A Vaxee NP01 V2 would also pique my interest but price and lack of existence prove to be quite the barrier.
What about everyone else?

 

[Yaayuh!]

I've had like, 3 mice in the past 15 years. All pretty much the same mouse.

I don't flip-flop, I got used to a style and size that felt comfortable and stuck with it. Same with Keyboards.

Fair play to you. I’ve tried a few mice and have never really had one where I’ve felt that it’s the perfect mouse for me. Still on that search.

Logitech G303 for life.

Turtle Beach suck absolute donkey shlong but the last mouse Roccat made before being completely absorbed by them is probably one of the best ever made.

G503/G700/etc type fans, anyone who like a few more buttons on a mouse than usual REALLY needs to try a Roccat Kone Xp(/Xp Air).
Crazy good mouse. Will be buying emergency backup versions of (as I did with the G700/s) in the not too distant.

I was eagerly awaiting the DAV4 Pro - BUT that price, it’s a no from me.

It’s $169 USD (£125.83) yet for UK they convert $ 1:1 to £169.99 It won’t take long to go on Sale IMO.

I’d look at getting a DAV3 Pro for £82 (Then hopefully one day, you have an issue, RMA it and end up with a DAV4 Pro )

I have been tempted to try the Lamzu Maya X but currently really happy with the Logitech G Pro Superlight 2.

Another one I would like is the Vaxee E1 - But again, I think it’s priced a little to high for what it is.

I have ALWAYS used Ergo Mice - Using what I believe to be a Palm Grip but since using the Superlight 2 - I now use more of a Relaxed Palm Hybrid Grip.

I've had a few G502 and the micro switches in the clicks keep failing. I've recently swapped to a G502 X that has optical micro switches instead - this one better last!

Still using my Logitech performance mouse for the last 13 years. I fancy trying out a more modern mouse but it's a bit like a pair of old slippers. Don't want to change just yet. Not until it falls apart completely. I suspect it'll last a few more years yet

Yeah the price is insane. Accounting for tax it’s $204 yet they charge $230. Sucks for us. I have heard good things about the Maya X, the skate shape look interesting and the weight is a plus too. But I think if I were going for a lamzu mouse it would be the thorn. I’ve seen quite a few people say it’s their favourite shape.

I can’t imagine it selling well at that Price Tag.

8K Polling, Light Weight, Optical Clicks etc is all now more common than not at a lesser price point.

£117 for Superlight 2
£129 for EC2 DW (Now Returned)

This is the upper end of my limit really, even the EC2 DW felt more “Worth it” as it included the following.

4k Receiver / Charing Dock
1k USB Dongle & Extender Cable
2 Sets of Replacement Mouse Skates (White PTFE & Black Control Skates)

I have the Lamzu Thorn 4K - It is fantastic

The Shape despite appearing subtle in Reviews/Photograph - Feels so different to the typical EC Clone Style, Small Mouse which feels fuller in the hand.

Great Clicks, Scroll Wheel and Skates - I actually really like the Rubberised Scroll Wheel with little to no tactility or noise during operation.

The Coating is quite basic, it feels like Ping Pong Ball material but I can’t say I dislike it as my copy feels solid and the coating difference was only noticed when using the EC2-DW which had a more rubberised tacky feel.

I think brands are starting to learn that they can price the first wave of products at any point and take as much as they want from their die hard fans. Then they can simply drop the price and present it as a discount.
I've been told that they have an upgraded coating on the Maya X, a friend said it's his favourite coating of any mouse. Another reason I have to hope for an updated version of the Thorn.

THAT's worth knowing. (Optical switches on the X).

The Roccat (now TB) Kone XP I'm recommending... that was a key selling point. No omron "eventually turns to jelly" microswitches.

But seriously, for the love of god, all the G502 lovers, you're missing out on a categorically better mouse. Had a couple of the G502's and they're wonderful. The Kone XP ABSOLUTELY beats it in every meaningful way (apart from it's now made by ****ing turtle beach). Definitely Roccat's "swan song".

To be clear too, not the AIMO, the Kone II, none of those. JUST the Kone XP.

 

[Gee]

Tried the Pulsar x Zywoo collab (extremely similar to Lamzu Thorn) - that's getting returned. Incredible shape, software is awful and the battery doesn't last at all.

Currently using DAv4 Pro - highly recommended for the battery alone.
