This might sound weird, but the reason I would say this mouse is better than the OP1 8k is the easily replaceable scroll encoder. The OP1 8k had a pretty good encoder with the TTC silver, but unless you have some decent soldering skills and a soldering iron, you won't be able to fix the broken scroll encoder if/when it does eventually break. If they keep that scroll assembly design and put this same tech in an ergo shape similar to the DAV3, that would be, for me, the best mouse ever made, but for now, the XM2 8k is the best. Another funny thing I've always thought is that 8k polling rate was not necessary to lower sensor input latency. 1k polling rate provides plenty of room to improve latency. Most of the latency is in the sensor, MCU and especially the firmware. I was wondering when someone was going to get latency down without depending on 8k polling to prop up latency numbers. The MCU used on this (if it's the same as the OP1 8k) is awesome for latency and the firmware must also be masterfully written. Thanks for the thorough review and the view of the internals!
Copped the purple OP1 8k because I love small mice and the OP1 8k was already my favourite mouse. People who like bigger mice can finally get a taste EGG's brilliance.
don't even like the op1 shape but mained the op18k because the click and sensor were flawless, second mouse was lamzu alantis because of wireless xm1r shape since i hated the xm2we clicks. This is like my magnum opus, favourite shape of all time, favourite coating of all time and in my opinion the best sensor, happy days!
Liked and subscribed. Not just because of the great review, but because you're showing Apex gameplay at a high visual fidelity. Thank you. These things matter.
@@jerrorr does it have sloped or flat sides? i cant deal with the baseplate being smaller than the top of the clicks anymore. thats why i swapped off of the sora
It's nice but it really seems like they can't make a wireless mouse. After the xm2w disaster it's been all down hill. They tried at the last minute to sub in the xm2we but it was a disappointment atleast in comparison to what the xm2w was billed to be. If you like wired though this is a solid mouse.
Lord, I keep seeing such great things being said about this mouse that I want to try it but that cable, I know there’s a cable replacement but still idk 😖

Thanks for this comment! It was an interesting read

That purple is dope

This such an incredible product. No fancy shenanigans, just really well built mouse
Man they really gotta make an asymmetric mouse soon...
They are working on one!

EGG singlehandedly keeping wired mice viable
Just ordered white frost variant, super excited to try it, my first EGG mouse
Nice pick!
Where did you order it from?
@@Peripheral_Pro Amazon has them
@@Peripheral_Pro they have some links on twitter
you are masterpiece.
(and now I really want one of these too!!)
No u! And get!
hyped bout this mice, cant wait to get one
It’s amazing
This is crazy, even better than op1 8k
Performance is the same as op1 8k since same firmware, results show difference from the first fw on the op1. But shape is much better for me!

@@glashausAimz2 sloped, like on the sora
@@jerrorr damn, i guess i stick with the op1 then :/
@@glashausAimz2 yeah most of the recent claw grip mice are based on the xm shape, and have those sloped sides
Excellent review!!
Thank you so much!
helposti mun lempi tech review kanavaksi. hyvää työtä.
Kiitos!
i love my op1 8k
Its goated
I'm currently between this one and a dav3 hyperspeed. I've been maining the xm1r for the past 2yrs and I feel something is missing shape wise
Please let us know if you're able to compare the two!
why are the switches not hot swappable
my endgame gear xm1 had random double left clicks after few years
Normal mechanical switch weardown. You can solder in new switches or usually increase debounce time if possible on the mouse

What makes you want those mouse skates as opposed to the big full skates?
I needed to open this for latency measurements, bigger ones are on the way
@@jerrorr Very nice! I’m considering this mouse. I have a GPX and not a fan. It is very uncomfortable and not too sure why.
@@CptMalding what grip you use?
@@jerrorr i would say mostly claw. But my hand cramps doing that and so I go to relaxed claw or palm.
Lord, I keep seeing such great things being said about this mouse that I want to try it but that cable, I know there’s a cable replacement but still idk 😖
With a good dongle its rly hard to notice!
Are you going to review some ajazz mice?
Nah, reviewed one already
Would you recommend I buy this if I already main the op1 8k with a 20cmx10cm hand? (Claw ofc)
Depends how you feel about op1 shape
I just bought an old version 😭
is it worth it to upgrade from Razer viper v2 pro ?
Only if you don’t like that shape
damn... alright, heres my money :D
