with the amount of mice you've reviewed this year to think a mouse that just came out of the blue and one that a lot of people thought was a scam (beastx) would end up being a mainstay is WILD
Its been a joy watching your content for 2023, imo im definitely keeping my eye if beast x + that 4114 aero mousepad comes to local stores, hope to see more content next year, keep up the amazing work you're doing, cheers!
GOAT reviewer. Got the xenns top after your recommandation, SMSL C200 and ulx on the most recent drop. Always satisfied with the products and your reviews are accurate and detailed. Keep on the good work.
I’d move the liquid cooler to the back panel and set to intake along with the bottom fans. Too much negative pressure. Cheers to next year brother, hope we see some AI nonsense with our mice dialing in our perfect dpi or something.
Thanks for sharing your opinion on the new mice this past year. Looking forward to your other keeper vids and your reviews next year. (If your growing family allows you the time...hehe). Happy Holidays my friend...and to all you other fans out there. WOOF! 😊 ❤
I was thinking about getting the large ulx but i don't want to get the first batch, I don't want to be a beta tester like people with the medium edition so i will wait until march
Great year of videos Fresh thanks from the community. It was a good year for releases, as a dirty palm gripper the Thorn replaced the DAVE for me and the 4114 pad finally got my Zero off my desk which was starting to slow down anyway from use. I'll be trying the Xlite V3 Size 3 Large when it drops. We appreciate the grind, you giving us direction on (sometimes) pricey items that most of us just can't walk into a store and pick up is important.
It was a pretty good year for hardware imo. This is how I faired. I've had my NV5 setting in a box with all the fans everse fans I need to install! This entire line seems awesome. The new NV9 will be fun to see people building. I have all the glass mousepads and my favorite was easily TJExclusives finally beating out my SkyPad 3. It's end game for me. Still trying to wrap my head around "speed with control" and it legit is. Loving the Beast X though I prefer the shape of the Atlantis Mini. Hoping WLMouse doesn't start jacking up the prices. I had way too many weird things with the Lamzu to grab the Maya. Worst website ever. The newly announced BeastX mini\small version sounds pretty awesome.
Sup Fresh. I've had a hell of a time trying to get a Xenns Top. My order was canceled because of a shady 3rd party seller so I'm now leaning towards the Canon ii for the tuneable aspect. Im still within my return window for the EM6L, how much of an upgrade is the Canon ii to it?
The Em6l performs great in game, but it’s more than just gaming at a certain point. Overall enjoyment etc. The canon 2 performs better in game has a nicer fit nicer build and nice tuning for almost everything
Crazy to see that it is hard to find a top 5 vid or a preferred mice video without the Lamzu Thorn in it, since it did not seem that hyped upon release.
@@jonathantran5821 thorn is still coming. Post office taking its time to deliver. The stormbreaker is a good mouse but I don't play that well with it. Might be a little bit too small for me. I'll let you know once the thorn arrives.
Thanks fresh for reviewing this much mice. Its really hard to find someone so articulate with their reviews and meanwhile having credibility of being a cracked fps playe.
which mouse should i get ? i am upgrading from a old ass g pro wireless and I'm contemplating over the wl beastx mouse and superlight 2. What concerns me is whether i will be comfortable with the wl beastx design but then at the same time the mouse is cheaper than superlight2 and is lighter. I'm using a relaxed claw grip any suggestions ?
If I manage to get a refund from Razer with FedEx not delivering my Replacement mouse, then I might pick the Beast X as my primary, they came out of nowhere and are doing a great job with the mice
No EC3-CW ? I currently have one due to your review and love it but I am now looking at the Vaxee Outset AX wireless . Between these two which had better M1/2 button implementation
My Zaopin Z1 no longer works because the battery wont take a charge. I preformed so well with it. Such a shame, it's my grown to be my favorite mouse and now it only works in wired mode which doesn't work with my setup :/ Tried contacting manufacturer and they don't sell replacement batteries. The seller on AliExpress said he couldn't help either, and the factory said they wouldn't issue replacements even to vendors. If you're getting rid of yours maybe I can scrape together a little cash and take it off your hands?
WLmouse just announced the mini version of the beast x. It will be releasing on the 8th of january and weigh 34 grams. Will you get one of those or do you think youre going to pass since the standard model is already so good?
Surprised the Fantech aria didn’t get a mention since it was your summer budget pick (unless I missed it) do you have another preference for a claw grip?
Hey Fresh, this is kind of unrelated but I just recently purchased a iFi Zen Dac v2 and was on the edge one whether or not to go with the Zen or the Topping DX3 Pro+. I see that you have the iFi Zen Dac v2 as your top pick over the DX3 Pro+ and was wondering what makes it better?
which amp/dac would you recommend for the dt 990 pro 250 for gaming? i play stuff like pubg apex, ive been looking for something that will keep the sound of my headphones without changing the sound to be different
@@FreshReviewsYT oh sorry i didnt mention that my price point is like high 250 would be fine going with 300, so i was looking at the jds atom stack and the dx3 pro
Hi fresh, do you think its worth to buy the E6ML iem to get an improvement on imaging and soundstage compared to my headphone?(i just need them for gaming on warzone, im not a bass lover, i just want more detail),I own a 560s. Could u suggest me another one if those are not good enough?
Do you think there's any difference between the beast x purple mouse and the gold-black one besides the color? I'm looking forward to buying one but can't seem to make up my mind.😅
I have a boatload of mice just like you, but what surprises me is that neither you or others including Boardzy are running modded GPX Superlights. The GPX out of the box has awful skates, a mediocre encoder and so-so switches. Now if you suck with soldering and a lot of people do then I would look at something like a hot swappable PCB to replace the stock PCB on the GPX. Personally, my favorite encoder is the TTC Silver with TTC Dustproof Gold 60M (if I had to pick one) and Tiger ICE skates (the original ones). Listen if you can change your skates then you share the hell can change your PCB, remove the skates with the screws beneath them, open and disconnect the two connectors, remove the battery and the screws underneath are for the right and left paddles, remove the few screws of the PCB with the switches, disconnect it's ribbon cable .. reverse with the new PCB and whatever switches. Put all the screws back in place and replace the skates and voila you have a modded mouse to your specs. The PCB costs about $40 depending upon where you buy them. There are also are modded body parts that will significantly reduce the weight.
@@Gidrah .. All that I've ever seen Boardzy do is like you some paint and skates, and taking that round plate off of a GPX doesn't count. As far as weight mods, changing the encoder, changing the switches, I haven't seen anything like that from Boardzy. I've seen him with pre-purchased 3D printed completed mice, but that's about it.
@@Gidrah .. changing mouse's skates LMAO is not under my or anyone's definition of "modding." It's like saying I modded my remote control by changing it with a new brand of batteries. 🤣
Where do you get rid of your mice? I live rurally in Ireland and I have about 5 mice I want to sell but no gamers around so was wondering if you sell via reddit/websites?
Shape is King 👑 .. and your grip dictates the preferred shape which is Queen 👸. It's the reason that I don't take reviews seriously by anybody. Unless they have the same grip style as you.
@@MastRYTshape is king though. A shape that suits you but is slightly heavier will likely lend itself to better results overall. I use the MZ1 because of the shape. There are lighter mice but 60g is perfect for me.

Still testing

Hey if you’re getting rid of the final mouse Tenz I’ll take it. Lol

A sprime has spawned

Does the Thorn feel more like the EC series where it doesn’t fill your palm too much or like the outset or G703 where it fills up your palm a lot?
More filling
Is that the x2h
Bro I want that Fantech so bad!
Thanks fresh for reviewing this much mice. Its really hard to find someone so articulate with their reviews and meanwhile having credibility of being a cracked fps playe.
honestly would you recommend the x2h mini versus the x2v2 mini? i'm probably going for the x2h mini
I like the x2h mini over the x2v2 mini
