Brands with driverless, on-device controls
Like Zowie, these manufacturers design their mice for a pure "plug-and-play" experience, allowing you to change settings like DPI and polling rate by holding specific button combinations directly on the mouse.
Vaxee: Known for making high-quality, competition-grade mice, Vaxee is frequently mentioned alongside Zowie. Its mice use hardware-based controls for all adjustments.
Xtrfy: This brand offers a true plug-and-play experience, with all settings like DPI, polling rate, and RGB lighting controlled by button combinations on the mouse itself.
Endgame Gear: Many of their mice, like the XM2we, are designed to be configured without software. You can change settings via the mouse's built-in controls.
Ducky: Some Ducky mice, such as the Feather, are known for having all settings controlled directly on the device, with no additional software needed.
