for 160 dollars i think a mouse should be perfect at that point. when i got my copy of this mouse I had inconsistent clicks, bad rattling inside, clicking grinding, and this flex issue you mentioned. i even had some molding deformity on the scroll wheel lol there was a bit of rubber that wasnt cut properly so it was sticking out. i was disappointed
I used the Rival 310 for years, which has the best ergo shape for large hands imo. As my current mouse was faulty it was time to find a new one and I have been trying a LOT of mice. But I ended up with the EC1-C, which is my new favorite mouse. It really has a superb shape for large hands and is a true replacement for the no longer produced 310.
My E1 disconnects randomly from the 4k receiver that came with it. I have yet to really troubleshoot that issue, but I will say my white copy has zero issues with build quality
I had the same initial impression with the Vaxee x Sora collab mouse I got. The "logitech" effect on the mouse buttons was definitely a surprise to me, because literally everything else on my unit is absolutely perfect. The clicks are super spam-able, all the buttons feel amazing, the wireless tech feels spot on, coating, the list goes on. But yeah picking up and moving the mouse around, it constantly makes that plastic-y rattly noise every time you put your mouse back down on your pad. That and the middle mouse wheel button being super hard to press on the left side vs. the right side of the wheel and the encoder they used feels pretty meh to me. It's kinda like a more scratchy Zowie encoder with less mechanical feedback as well as feeling super hollow. Kinda odd. Other than that though, I absolutely enjoy everything else about the mouse personally. It's basically exactly what I was looking for for so many years. Despite those small issues I have with it, it's absolutely still my main mouse. I agree with you though specifically for this shape of mouse. The pulsar option is a much better deal and it doesn't make sense really to go with the Vaxee for so much more money.
Watching this video and reading the comments is making me lean towards not buying the E1 and save some cash by buying a DAV3 Hyperspeed or Thorn 4k instead 🤔🤔🤔🤔
bro the e1 is by far the most insane feeling ec shape on the market right now even fortnite zoomer nation boardzy is saying that. techne is just a sad old man at this point
Yeah I had the same experience with many other vaxee mice, but this one ehhhh not so much. I would love to say “it’s just mine” but I got a retail copy not an early copy and it’s just bad.
he def gets pissed if he doesnt get payed or at least get the products for free and made it insanely obvious with this one. its almost sad to see how such a old dude is falling apart in front of our eyes and doing pathetic shit like that. i dont even need to get into the details about the mouse cause is such a joke at this point :D
Pulsar is Korean though, but I get what you mean. Pulsar hasnt been perfect but my copies have been flawless ever since the X2v2 and Xlite V3 generation. Though right now, the EC clone market is so saturated that you can just go on Eloshapes, pick one with the minor adjustments that you think might fit your hands the most from a decently known brand and it would still probably be just fine quality wise, preference factors like clicks and coating aside.
@@whatanoob96 it’s a cheaply made clone that sort of has a reputation for poor quality. Pulsar is fine, but to sit here and literally pretend that Vaxee mice are somehow cheaply put together and rushed is next level asinine. Also saying that Vaxee’s click implementation is awful is all I needed to hear to know that this guy doesn’t know shit about gaming mice. Vaxee clicks are the gold standard. This guy is next level hating.
@@MrGiggles2196 click feeling is preference though. I do agree that its outrageously dumb to say it was cheaply put together and that it feels like a Chinese clone. But I do think recommending the Xlite is fair as it's probably the cheapest mouse that won't have plastic degradation and a good coating in the EC clone market, while also giving size options and a competitive price. I've been inside a few of them and they definitely aren't cheaply made. Good PCB reinforcement, strong clips and internal structure. The plastic is nice and thick and coating is 1:1 with Razer Black coating and Logitech white coating.

I'll hold out and grab the Pulsar X3

When 2025 comes are you going to do a full re review of the audeze Maxwell (are they still worth it in 2025 and how your sound adjusted) video idea.

That monitor is sweet! I love my g pro too much that watching this review feels like cheating
At first glance almost had a stroke - thought it is my Lamzu Thorn, hehehe but it is not, so W. Not so good for E1 though. 😉

@@uwetriceps3036man why are u in this comment section just dissing?
Please bring your negativity to elsewhere
idk man, vaxee has the best clicks on the market by far and my e1 feels amazing. very light, sturdy, and crispy clicks.

First again
“Feels like a Chinese knock off” and then recommends the Chinese knock off lol.
Lost any and all credibility with this one.

Because anything made in Asia is a "Chinese knock off"... I'm sure he'll be devastated to have lost credibility from someone who thinks that way.
