Full reviews on the Xlite v3 ES, Sprime PM1 and outset AX coming in the next 1-2 weeks 😱Just wanted to ergopost since I have so many on my desk currently
This is where it goes interesting because I had a dav3 pro and didn't like it, it was too bulky for me (21x11cms). I like a bit smaller mice more, but not too small. Like the Thorn is perfect for me. I play immo 3 in Val and top fragged a lot lately with the Thorn. If you know Jampii, team liquid player and #1 EU in ranked in Valorant, he is using an outset AX and he is like a very tall guy like me 191-195 cms(6ft 3 - 6ft 5), so that means he has huge hands as well and he still uses the outset ax and can freaking end up #1 in EU ranked list.
I tried bunch of ergos and outset is the best if you have slightly larger hands. I switched to outset from ec2 and before I was using DAV3 with 4k dongle. Shape, click feel and coating are way more important than 4k. This whole 4k, ultra low weight is just a gimmick used by these companies to keep the people buying new mice.
Vaxee uses 3395 for their wireless implementations. They also mentioned releasing an update for 4K polling where it would just be an update not a whole mouse/dongle
The amount of QC issues on the Stormbreaker is unreal too, between people on their discord and my own personal copy creaking and flexing on the shell and support being nonexistent for the company and saying these things are normal is another strike against Pwnage I'd say
These are some very good mice that you have rounded up, but I was wondering if the Waizowl OGM Pro was close to making it. I got a copy and reviewed it, and I have to say the build quality is exceptional on it, and the sensor seems to be top tier preformance.
What I'd love to see is an Ambidextrous Top 5 or 10. Specifically mice that are better or compete with Logitech GPX Superlight. I'm tired of wasting my $$$ buying small & ergo mice.
@@singleyfps .. I already have three copies of the Logitech GPX all with different skates, switches and encoders. Everyone's always looking for the next best thing...

Even though I have big hands I’ve been loving my thorn it really works with my particular claw grip, my only major problem is the main clicks, I really wish they just kept using the clicks from the Atlantis
What about the Cooler Master MM720? Blows my mind it's not more popular. I have large hands but the ergos for fingertip grip gaming and immaculate. Ultra light too.
Im looking forward to the sprime pm1 review. A lot of the lighter weight options leave a lot to be desired when it comes to their structural integrity. I hope the carbon composite, solid shell of the pm1 can prove otherwise.
loving my wired Outset AX to death. This is the most comfortable mouse I ever had and to whichever mouse I changed, I always came back to it. So of course, a lot of people actually like and use this mouse wired.
Hey buddy can i ask your hand size and grip style? I need an ergo mouse for cs2 which i can relaxed palm, and if needed claw gripping. My hands are 18.5x10 and i tend to like smaller, more nimble mice.
@@quinoxzgdzlla499 Hey another lucky dude with medium sized hands here (18x10, relax claw) If you want an ergo for claw grip, look at the Vaxee Outset AX Wireless or the Lamzu Thorn. With these mice your palm will have a better contact with the back of the mice but these mice are medium sized. So maybe you also look for an asymetrical mice if you like ergo but want a smaller mice, the Vaxee NP-01s Wireless might be what you are looking for :) Or you can buy a small ergo with less palm support at the back like the majority of ergo on the market (Zowie EC3-CW or Pulsar Xlite V3 small) but for claw the majority of people (including me) prefer a mice with a better palm support so... maybe not the best choice. There is not many ergo / asym on the market so the choice is yours (and it's not too complicated to choose compared to a symetrical mice, ngl).
Been using the dav3 for ages and my copy also has tons of flex. I have a thorn on the way but its being shipped from maxgaming in Europe so I still don't have it. I use a relaxed claw/palm hybrid type of grip so hoping its not too small for me.
I spend way too much time looking at mouse related content compared to the number of mice I own. Deathadder 2013 wired - > Viper ultimate -> Superlight 1 -> ????? I think I'm gonna go for a bang for buck ergo next
I have all the DeathAdders and the DeathAdder V3 Pro is not what I would deem as per se "DeathAdder" mouse. It just doesn't feel right compared to the others. I would much prefer a
What is the closest shape to the Finalmouse Classic Ergo in your opinion ? I've tried the EC2 and the Deathadder but they are way too different for my liking
I've really been trying to adjust to the wired DaV3 for about a month now but I still feel it's a little to big for my hand and grip (18x10 / relaxed claw and palm) I am going to look into the ec2 / xlite v3. I've grown fond of optical switches since they don't double click but haven't really ever heard anything bad about the switches zowie use either so not sure which route i'm going to go. Sucks that your dav3 copy developed issues, it really is a fantastic mouse if the shape works for you otherwise.
Same here. DAV3 Shape is not working for me. I was using the EC2 CW until last weekend, now I am using the Xlite V3 ES. The hump is a little bit different to the EC2 CW. But the Xlite clicks for me.
It is 100% using the 3395 sensor, Vaxee also announced they're working on 4khz wireless polling for their 3395 sensor mice as well. Boardzy was mistaken.
Hey boardzy, your video on "The BEST Ergonomic Gaming Mice in 2024" was an absolute game-changer for me! I was dealing with serious wrist pain from extended gaming sessions, and your recommendations not only improved my gameplay but also saved me from excruciating discomfort. Now I can enjoy gaming without worrying about wrist strain. You've literally saved my gaming life and by extension, my family is grateful too - no more grumpy, pain-ridden gamer in the house! Kudos to you for such valuable content! 🙌🎮
I have a question for this community, I want my mouse buttons to be lower near the mousepad, is there any good modern mice that has lower buttons than per say a GPW, my thumb touches the pad while I aim, i want the top of it to be touching the buttons to where I have to make minimal movements to press them. if not how realistic is creating some sort of adjustment
But the best mouse is Razer Basilisk V3 Pro and its not even mentioned. What kind of video is that? I've tried them all but returned to Basilisk as my main because its the best ergonomic mouse today. It's optical, 8K and great mouse for all kind of games.
@@boardzy I play FPS particularly. But not the competitive one. I found Basilisk to be a great mouse for FPS. I was using Logitech Superlight 2 before as my mainly but it was uncomfortable as hell. Well the weight is something we can discuss a lot but light mouse is not easy to control.
I agree, tried most of them (except the Sprime PM1, never heard of it) and hands down, I went maining from a dav3 pro to a Thorn Fnatic LE and I freaking love it!!! Edit: I have even bigger hands than Boardzy, (21x11cms) and unlike Boardzy says "I don't know if they actually have it and they are using it or not" I'm immortal 3 in Valorant and have been top fragging a lot lately with the Thorn. So, yeah... I think he has some weird hands :D
@@Azrael32the post travrl and pre travel is fixed with the fnatic version, and for the click i think it needs a little bit of improvement on the placing cus the clicks are snappy and light imo
@@im.deh11 you keep telling yourself that, lamzu's clicks are tactical but not spammable. You should try a mouse with omron opticals like the sora 4k and you will know the difference.
Boardzy, recently I bought a zowie ec2cw for 150 aud which is like 90 US dollar, would this be the solid option for me since I love the shape and I really love zowie products
Thorn is more smooth. Dav3 is more like a brick, I used it 1year and it’s like full fitting the hand. While thorn have more space to move with palm and fingertip.
Wow Bro immo 3. I am fighting dia3 to asc. Yes agree bigger hands have the chance to half palm and fingertip the Lantau thorn cuz it’s shorter 💪 I did try the xlite v3 es. And I need to say thorn did me more fun and accuracy
i bought a razer Deathadder v3 Pro with the dongle for 8000hz ,the ergonomics is really perfect for my hand I am very satisfied ,but I'll definitely try other mice too, i want to try lamzu,Vaxee and finalmouse ultralight(hoping it comes back because is sold out )
@@hohaiphong6225 hi the character is Rory Mercury from the anime GATE Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri is my favorite female character from that anime
hay guys ive mained the g403 since it ever came out. throughout the years its changed slightly and now the latest one i have (g403 hero v2 with plastic cord) has stiffer clicks than its predecessors. the shape is great for me but i really miss the really light snappy clicks. how do the clicks compare on these ergo's and which is the lightest of em all and closest shape to the g403 if thats what im used to?
1 have been trying to find another great gaming mouse(or mouse for gaming) i used Rapoo MT550 (when it works n dont break its a great size). But The Rapoo MT550 i have bought is hard to 1st of all get a 100% working one from stores(either the rubber have peeled of within a few months to a couple of weeks+Scroll button on it have been less then working perfect on 2 of 4(mayby 5)so why is it a problem w that brand or is it just me) Bought a logitech G305 that everybody recomended for a budget mouse(but problem is i get cramps n stiff fingers and im have reuhmatism unfortunatly since i was a teenager(so less then fun infront of pc gaming more then 1 hour w new mouse) If anybody have a good brand n cordless ergonomic mouse that is the same size as the Rapoo MT550 (it needs 5buttons+dpi button ofcourse for different settings) All help would be great for me.... Thanks 4 video
My razer Deathadder V3 pro not only creaks but has their infamous scroll wheel issue that I also had on the viper v2 pro. That being said I’m never buying razer mice again
My Pwnage Stormbreaker has an issue where the scrollwheel will counterscroll in the opposite direction. I got a replacement and the same problem developed 4-6 months later. Anyone else have this issue?
Darmoshark m3s (40$) or dareu a950 pro plastic with 4k (53$), dragonfly f1 pro 4k (73$). Which one should get and the prices are from my country? specifically use claw grip. Also we get quite a few sales for mouse so the dragonfly might drop to 60$ next year.
m3 is insane for its price, the only sh*tty thing about it is the software (as if goes for all Chinese mice) which I don't even use that much since it has DPI and Polling Rate buttons on the botton. Dragonfly also looks very promising but for claw i'd go for the darmoshark
Look at the dimensions of the ec3, it is actually wider than an ec2, it is just slightly shorter. I prefer it to the ec2 size and i have larger hands. The ec3 is pretty much a ec2.5.
@@boardzy If it was easy to RMA it, then maybe i would of done. Seems to be too much of an hassle and waiting to get a new one. I currently have 2 x DAV3 PROs and both have creacking (white edt and faker edt). Time to try something new i guess
My main currently is still the Deathadder V3 Pro and i really love it since day one, but i wanna try out some other ergo mice too. Really interested in the Xlite V3 (both ver) and Lamzu Thorn, does these 2 have a similar shape to the DAv3 Pro? On EloShapes the Thorn looks quite small, and the Xlite is very close to the DAv3 Pro, so im leaning towards the Xlite.
Don't buy any new ones, you have the best one already, trust me. I have other ergos. Only one that is worth a look is the outset AX. Other than that the DAV3 is all u need. Don't waste money.
@@danlesak00 damn straight to the point, thanks! I just wanna see what's the hype around those mice about, but yeah the price is not that cheap either. i just used that money to upgrade my monitor from 24" 1080p 144hz to a 27" 1440p 170hz, and im happy with my purchase
@@danlesak00Do you mean together with the QC issues or without the QC issues, I went through 3 copies of the deathadder and all of them had creaking so I gave up on them.
@@Nathan-cx1ks That's why i rec' the only brands that make quality mice, which are zowie and vaxee or endgame gear atm. You will get that with every mouse eventually that is "light-weight". IDK why a lot of ppl count out those brands for their weight. Vaxee especially, they're getting the high polling rate dongle out soon, so the only complaint you could have for them is the weight. But that weight comes with immense quality. I have had numerous QC issues with Razer and Logitech, yet people still buy those for the most part. Don't even get started with the QC issues on all the other mice, and they have shit warranties. At least logi and razer have good customer service.
I'm an ergo appreciator but I feel like ergo mice lack ingenuity. Most ergos are a straight up clone or heavily inspired by the EC series in one way or another. Any shape that deviates from the EC clone just feels off to me. Ergos are unfortunately a one trick pony. Fortunately, there's a lot of creativity in the symmetrical market.
Are there any extra large gaming mice? Things like the DA are maybe a mm or two bigger than other ones. If my hand is 6 cm bigger than the average hand 3 mm doesn’t really help me much. Mx 518 was the only mouse my hand ever felt even somewhat comfortable with. Nothing from Logi, Razer, even comes close to a truly XL mouse. Please help me. My hand is hurting so bad.
Well the dav3 is 3mm shorter and 5mm thinner compared to the MX518 so you're still dealing with millimeters. Zowie FK1+ is huge but low profile. Just learn to fingertip and your problem is solved
@@boardzy appreciate the feedback. What I found so much nicer with mx is that the right click button is so much higher up than the DA right button. My hand is too large for my middle finger to be that low to the table. Max size to max size Mx518 isn’t that much larger than DA. But average sizes across the whole spectrum is much larger. Even then that was the bare minimum to be acceptable. I’m considering some of the mouse mods from ntech you did a review about on Halloween. Maybe with some 3d printing I can get something more accommodating. I finger tip grip already. My hand is very large but it’s not anything absurd. I’m surprised more people don’t run into this problem. I can palm a basketball 0 problems.
the only readily available mice out of the entire list is the DAv3 pro and model d 2 pro which is sad. youd think at some point these smaller companies would wise up and plug a distribution deal so you can actually buy shit. Even lamzu bypasses every single FCC law gives zero fucks and spam ships to amazon warehouses to get into the game
Would love to see an xlite review. I'm on the Xlite wireless V1 and wanted the deathadder v3 pro but it's too expensive. If the xlite v3 is good I'll probably just get it.
