Not really surprising. XD3 and XD5 are both awesome products, specially for their price. XD5 might have the nicest GM 8.0 that I've used, and I've tested hundreds of mice through this years.
Orochi was a tad to small for my hands and preference so this this could easily be an instabuy providing that slightly bigger shape over the orochi, nice review as always bro
Well, this will be added to the list to buy. I still love the Orochi and the 303 Shroud. If this is the love child of these then I have to give it a spin. I'll insta buy the X2 and I'll probably still try out the XM2W, even though I say I may not need to, but who am I kidding. Kinda nice to see some mice to try, it was getting a little stale and this mouse is a nice curveball
Crazy timing...been back on the Orochi for the last two weeks...once adjusted back to the V2....I was beaming in Apex! If the Aria is that bit bigger then I might try this one out!
Does it have any delay / input lag? Since motion sync is turned on by default.. I asked since I have pulsar x2 mini and when I turned on the motion sync its very laggy and not smooth..
I'm not picking up one but both! RIP wallet. Love the Orochi shape and also play well with it but hate the weight hopefully the Aria fits well in hand. Also excited for the X2. Currently I main the Hati S.
Nice review! How does it compare to g303se? I got the orochi v2 but its too short so i bought g303se. Really wanna know is it as wide and long as g303se in palm.
I recently bought the Orochi V2 knowing it was small just mainly to try the shape. It was great but yeah deff too small for my hands. It's nice to see this one is a larger version but a 118mm or something like that to me would have been much better.
Honestly this seems amazing for me, I daily drive a g203 lightsync and have been looking for a wireless replacement and maybe a slightly different shape, so this is a really cool release.
Fantech has been stepping up, the Aria looks like a way more comfortable Orochi v2 for claw gripping. You should give the fantech agile mp453/903/904/905 mousepads a shot too. They're about as cheap as the ikea pad(in SEA, not sure about everywhere else) and honestly pretty solid for a balanced smooth speedy pad with easy microadjustments. Surprisingly low static friction for the amount of dynamic friction it has. Supposedly the dynamic friction increases after washing it while the static friction remains very low.
So glad I researched further before buying a gpx, the x2 mini and the aria seem like they could be even better for me, for cheaper. Out of the two, which do you think would be better? I use palm claw grip and I've got a smallish hand
Can you pretty please measure the dead center width of the pulsar x2 from the bottom side of the mouse (the thinnest point)? I'll love you foreverrrrr!
I have very similar hand size and have used plenty of mice recently: the viper v2, mz1, g303se, xlite V2 and xlite V2 mini, m42, xm1r, etc... I've never used the super light or orochi for extended periods. It seems the X2 might be more like what I'm used to but the aria might really surprise me. I definitely believe in what pulsar can do as a brand after the xlite V2 but I'm torn. Do you have any advice?
I changed to 303SE 2 months ago and its shape is perfect for me, but im just waiting for double clicking to start to change all switches and scroll encoder for TTC. BTW @Fresh Reviews you have new cheap (20$) competitor for gaming IEMs after last few reviews I read about 7hz Zero.
@@FreshReviewsYT Truthear zero is nice but its 50$ And 7hz Salnotes Zero is 20$. Look of it is dogshit but from what i read they have realy nice soundstage, imaging and detail so i think they may be new budget go to for gaming IEMs.
G303 SE has an optical encoder, which unfortunately means you cannot replace it. You can, however, drastically improve it by lightly lubing it with TriboSys 3203, it made it VERY smooth while the tactility is still there and perfectly medium!
@@Caution40404 Thanks mate i didnt even knew that logitech place that shit again :/ I havnt seen it inside yet so i think i will need to see Bearded Bob channel again to check it :P
I need this! you convinced me with the Orochi comparison. I loved the orochi egg shape but it was too short for me. Mouse enthusiasts are eating good this month. 👍
@@FreshReviewsYT This is awesome for fellas with large hands like you, so you can experience that awesome shape in claw not just fingertip! For me the Aria is too big as would lose so much inner hand mobility with my aggressive claw grip (19x10cm), but gotta love those split main buttons. That's what I miss the most as the clicks on my Orochi V2 have become lighter and inconsistent after 1 year of use, so i get miss-clicks now and then. I think it's because of the single top shell slightly warping with heavy use and changing the main clicks tensioning, i doubt it's the Kailh GM 4.0 themselves who are to blame. If with the Orochi V3 they could implement split main buttons and optical switches with the latest sensor it would be perfect for small and medium hand users. For large hand user the Fantech Aria is a must as the shape is so versatile!
Leaning towards this mouse. However I'm hesitant since my Helios XD3 V2's LMB started double clicking after 3 months and the RMB another 3 months later
Hey, i have a gpx with Tiger ice, but the shape is far from perfect, i AM trying to find a little smaller mouse for pincer claw/ finger tip grip. For hand 19x11, do you think aria would be a good choice? Surely an option to consider. Also without sacrifying quality?
XM1R, Pulsar x2 and g102 have back hump. It hurts my aim. But Orochi v2 is not like that. According to this way, does fantech aria like g012 or orochi style?
Hello relaxed finger gripper here with 19 x 10 cm hand . Have xtrfy m42 , mz1 , xlite v2 mini wireless , and bought recently the hsk plus thinking was the endgame for me .But there is something about the width where i put the pinky finger that throw me off, same thing with the mz1. Currently performing my best with the xlite. Should i try the aria or x2 mini. My second favourite shape is the m42.
banger review as always, now this makes it harder for me to choose between the X2 or the Aria lol also having Fantech Aria and Moondrop Aria as gaming setup would sound cool xD
hey fresh just a quick question about your grip with the aria. Do you make palm contact at all? it seems like the hump isnt as far back as the g305. Also, is you pink flat and touching the mousepad? like upfront with your ring finger or curled in the back.
Hey man, I have a medium to large hand (19 by 10.5 cm), but I prefer smaller mice. My current main is the xlite v2 mini. Do you recommend the x2 or x2 mini? Thanks a lot.
For someone with 21x10 hand size And for fingertip grip, Between these two mice which one do you think would be better? I absolutely liking both of the mice but am confused about which one to go with.
Riding along just for the notification, I have pretty much the same handsize and play mainly fingertip but sometimes mixed with claw. Also really interested in both of them but probably will only be able to try one this next month.

hey! bit of a specific question. I snagged the X2 mini because of your review but the stiff clicks are really putting me off. Are the fantech aria switches lighter or just as heavy in your opinion?
Hi ! I know this isn't exactly the topic of this video, but what would be, according to you, the best gaming IEMs ~200$ can buy ? I've been watching a lot of videos about it recently, mostly yours actually, and I've somewhat settled on the Moondrop Kato. What would you think of this choice ?
S tier video like always. Curious about a few things tho. You play with fingertip grip or claw? I’m trying to transition into fingertip grip but i don’t know if I should use the fingers all the time or only for micro adjustments.
I actually have a weird grip with a few of these mice and particularly the aria. The aria I feel I have a relaxed fingertip, and at times I do full palm it and at times I find myself almost clawing it. It’s a very hybrid grip that changes for different scenarios like for instance if I’m running around looting, sniping, or spraying. I would say primarily relaxed fingertip though
Please recommend me some mousepads for CSGO and Valorant. I want to switch from cloth pads to try something new but don't want to go for something too fast. (I would like that micro adjustments to be controllable).
Thank you for your reviews! They're really informative. After a few years on the logitech g pro, I'm in the market for a new mouse and you made it infinitely harder with your reviews and info. If you were to recommend one mouse for someone who finds the g pro too big, and is a fan of the g305, and g303 (non se) , would you recommend the g303 SE, x2 mini, aria, or mz1 wireless?
do you think the pulsar is what im looking for? i have a relaxed claw and the gpx just feels like there isnt support at the back and a bit of the mid palm, making me feel like im almost finger tipping the mouse at times, gripping the moise also feels inconsistent at times
Great to see more competition in the mouse market. Fantech coming through with a surprisingly solid release!
Not really surprising. XD3 and XD5 are both awesome products, specially for their price. XD5 might have the nicest GM 8.0 that I've used, and I've tested hundreds of mice through this years.
Honestly that Intellimouse Pro shape they made was perfect. Literally just scale up the size and it's a banger.
nice to see that my local brand Fantech is steeping up their game to be a real competitor! How is Aria's coating compared to the X2 and Superlight?
Not bad tbh
Superlight coating is honestly REALLY bad though. At least on black units.
You can always put grips on.
Orochi was a tad to small for my hands and preference so this this could easily be an instabuy providing that slightly bigger shape over the orochi, nice review as always bro
Ty!
The aria shape looks really good
im gonna be honest the hidden specs on the aria were making me

hey Fresh, love the review as always. I was wondering how the Pulsar X2 compares to the MM710/711 hump-feel-wise?
Very different. The mouse doesn’t feel like it has more butt. It’s more of a feeling as you get closer to the middle.
