Great point about the sensor placement. More forward sensor placement would give the flexibility of fingertip grip whilst keeping the stability of claw grip.
Corepads makes a skate pad for the HTX now and it fits the entire front and back lip as well as the sides so I don't get scratching during lift off. My favorite shape thus far.
Intuitively, you'd expect mouse designers to put the sensor directly below where your fingertips rest. So even farther forward: probably where that central skate is.
I honestly wouldn't even mind trying a mouse designed like that but there probably is a point of being too far forward.The important thing you have to consider is the physical size of the PCB as well as switches/clicks being mounted, relative to the position of the mouse. I wouldn't say its impossible given how G-Wolves HSK proved you can build the smallest PCB and switches being mounted, but perhaps it is harder than imagined?
@@its_yifang I suspect it's just been overlooked. You're probably too young to have ever used pre-optical mice, but they used to have a trackball at the bottom. The position of the optical sensor is a legacy from the much larger trackball assemblies from the days of yore.
Yo i have a question. Does the main clicks feel weird to you when you press the tip of both clicks? I just got mine and I also have larger hands. I love the shape but by how my hands are positioned I struggle to right click sometimes because my index finger hits the tip. Want to know if this only applies to my unit or if that’s just how it’s made. Great vid btw!
Yoo nice and detailed review again bro, I'll give HTX a try but my HTS 4K had major problems.. Whenever i click i feel like mouse is breaking apart from the inside, too much creaking in general that my other friends didnt have. I wanted to ask you why you prefer fast pad with low sens/control feet? Thanks :)
I feel more in control this way, as any input is therefore dictate by my human range of motion and input. If I need to make big movements, I swing my arm around, if I need to make micro-adjustments, my fingers and wrist do the motion which generally doesn't generate a lot of force and therefore a faster pad makes it so much easier. I use P-51 not just because fast but also because smooth, which means I have unrestricted range of motion at any time. Lots of people play higher sens without realising they can't play low sens because their arm gets stuck trying to move around on the mousepad. Instead, my aim now is far more controlled via my human input, with various range of motion, versus relying on smaller range of motion and therefore what feels like less fine-tune ability and relies only a multiplier (sensitivity).
21 x 12? that's pretty big mate (I'm 23 x 13 LOL ) It looks like a great and interesting mouse but I'm into ergo mice with high/big humps and typically aggressive claw/palm grip so this is probably not for me...
Do you think this fits or its big i play relaxed fingertip i extend my finger to front of mouse my hand size is 17*9.5cm or i get the hts plus becuse its shorter ?
@@its_yifangyeah I’ve been trying to find out what mouses fit me I have around I’m 16 and have around 9 inch hands and I’ve been mailing the xm1r and I’ve been wanting to upgrade
There's supposedly HTX dedicated skates now, otherwise I'm pretty sure the Viper Mini and Pulsar X2 skates work as well. I generally only use Corepadz.
Slightly less weight, doesn't really affect build quality because the exterior of the shell is the last thing that'll break, but solid does have more dust and sweat resistance obviously. Internals are all IP rated though so it shouldn't be an issue, solid shell if you're someone who's more concious over these things.
does anyone know how to adjust the settings for the mouse on a MacBook? waiting for my pc to ship and I just wanna use it in the meantime but none of the software is Mac compatible

Just better micros all round
And thanks scouy for the extra vouch nudge x) Looking forward to testing mine when it arrives =)

@@obscur_artiste I've used trackball mice before but this was long before I ever touched games that needed anything to do with it!
Amazing vid as usual king

I fuck love that intro I was sent back to 2012 🤩🤩🤩

My HTX 4K (ruby red honeycomb) dongle also have type-C on it (rectangle-shaped one).

@@its_yifang thanks for explaining, you are like 60cm 360 right? I am sitting on 50cm with saturn pro, HTS4K and corepad
@@gillik7801 I play 43cm in Overwatch/Apex and 71cm in VALORANT.

Jeez you're huge! Lamzu Thorn probably is the only thing I can recommend to you but even then...
Do you think this fits or its big i play relaxed fingertip i extend my finger to front of mouse my hand size is 17*9.5cm or i get the hts plus becuse its shorter ?
Hmm this might be a big long..
Would you choose this, the xmw2e, ninjutsu sora 4K or lamzu Atlantis mini 4K
For my personal use? XM2We is the only mouse of the bunch I can actually fit.
@@its_yifangyeah I’ve been trying to find out what mouses fit me I have around I’m 16 and have around 9 inch hands and I’ve been mailing the xm1r and I’ve been wanting to upgrade
I heard htx now comes with a usb-c receiver for people ordering from their live chat
Not sure...
@its_yifang Im thinking about ordering one soon to try out, so if it does, I'll edit the comment
@@a6m41 Let us know!
What skates did you put on them want to order them before my gwolves arrive😅

Viper Mini working insanely well with the mouse to my experience (by BT.L)@@its_yifang
this or atlantis mini
I'd pick ATL Mini
does anyone know if the honeycomb version is worth considering? like does it affect the build qaulity or comfort?

@@its_yifanghey I’ve been seeing so much reviews, what would you choose the htx 4K, lamzu Atlantis mini 4K or the ninjutsu sora 4K (I main the xm1r)
Lamzu Atlantis if you enjoy the XM1r, everything else is quite different.
storm review wen!?!!
No idea... 😂
Are you still using the P51?
Yes!
250 AUD 🥱
Pretty expensive...
does anyone know how to adjust the settings for the mouse on a MacBook? waiting for my pc to ship and I just wanna use it in the meantime but none of the software is Mac compatible
Unfortunately idk bout this one but ify ou find a Windows pc and adjust it, the settings are saved even on Mac.
