the shell has "strategic flex points" to make it light. Supposedly they made it flex in spots where people don't put pressure on so it doesn't affect performance. They said something about the shell will always snap back and not break, assuming you aren't gripping it that hard like that
i have no issues with my model no flex everything feels perfect dont see any visual flaws
I don't think Optimum even tried squeezing his copy to see if there is any flex
Because it would have snapped? :D
Yeah that man would have squished it with two fingers lol
brother you realistically will never be death squeezing your mouse or squeezing it in places that do actually flex
people just keep whining because their 38 gram mouse has a slight dent in the shell or creaks slightly when death gripping lmao
dam why does this 30g mouse flex more than my 60g mouse when I death grip it on weird spots where ur not actually holding the mouse
Next: My mouse flexes when I hammer it. Bad!
After owning 3 finalmouse and with a ULX on the way, their batteries never really have problems staying down and thats with intense use over about a year and a half of every day usage. Also i think one thing everyone should consider whilst buying a finalmouse is the resell value, if you manage to pick one up in a drop and find out its not really for you, most of the time youre able to get more than your money back through ebay or stockx. If you end up enjoying the mouse even better.
can u set polling rate and dpi for certain game/app like logitech mice can? this can really increase battery life. for example using 4khz for fps and then 125hz for browser
i hope they will add that if its not already possible because i love that mouse and im willing to buy it
@@ILWES i honestly dont even believe finalmouse needs to have something like this. Their batteries far outperform any from logitech or other leading brands, sure it could be something to secure their lead but battery is never a factor i worry about when getting a finalmouse as they really do last as long as or even longer than advertised
Promoting scalping what a guy you are
@@wahidtrynaheghugh260 this is not promoting scalping at all, im not saying only buy the mouse to resell for a quick profit. Im saying IF you do not like the mouse you COULD resell it, i think anyone after trying the mouse will thoroughly enjoy it and want to keep it. But if you have doubts and just want to try it you can definitely keep it in mind.
looks like the mouse industry is trying to copy game industry, launch it in the worst state possible and then fix it with patches
i hope i can download better build quality in the next patch, do you think the patch sizes would be 50gb as well? that'd be neato
I just got a used batch 1 ULX and honestly it's perfect, not a single panel gap, chassi flex or mouse click issue. Maybe I just got lucky though
My copy M2 button has a huge issue where i think the plunger or whatever mechanism has moved or misaligned because the clicks are very inconsistent now. Very spongey. Its been a week since i sent support a message and no one has gotten back yet. Definitely my final finalmouse
boardzy also mentioned a grinding mouse click on his Batch 1 ULX.
Can you maybe try to figure out from what batch your ULX is from? I think Batch 1 vs Batch 2 are major difference (sadly!)
The batches always get better as they go on. I would definitely prefer a batch 4 or 5 over a batch one by that point they have ironed out most of the kinks that people found
I bought a ULX cheetah. After seeing all of the issues and doing research on their past, I can comfortably say this will in fact be my first and final, final mouse.
I bought a tiger and a cheetah because the Starlight-12 small was my best shape and I wanted to go back to it, if I have problems, I will just have to move on
i prefer medium weight mice like pulsar xlite es and just use a faster pad, these mouse with exposed internals are just horrible for me, how do u even clean it.... Some droplets of water and u might mess up the battery... Much prefer the standard shells which do cover and protect the internals.
its like a lottery. If you get a good QC mouse its amazing.
i'm not aware of the qc issues of the ulx cheetah and tiger, but i do know that most of the issues with batch 1 of ulx lion have been resolved with batch 2
this might not be the case for for the cheetah and tiger though, as finalmouse's history shows they sometimes don't resolve qc issues very well (for example, the last batch of the starlight, the last legend, still has some qc issues like misaligned back hump and crooked scroll wheel)
either way, lesson learnt should be to never buy the first batch of any mouse, ever
@@ultra_01 to my knowledge the biggest issue was the side flex. Besides that the biggest issue is probably switch grinding or mouse button wobble. Tbh I have a copy that has like no qc issues and it's an amazing mouse if you love the shape. Just wish the coating was better. It's slippery for me when my hands get sweaty
Ive got mine a few days ago ( 2nd batch ) and im totaly happy rn. I used the superlight before and wanted to try a smaller mouse cause i like fingertip grip, so i bought the small ( cheetah ) version.
didnt checked the exact weight but i instantly noticed the big weight difference between my superlight and the ulx. i dont have a problem with flex parts of the mous and overall i have to say, the mouse feels great for me.
Bought myself the ULX and it's a perfect mouse for me. Tried over 100 mice before.
I've heard a lot of good things about the BeastX mouse, so much so that it seems like an even better mouse than this one. And that's wild considering BeastX is the first mouse from an previously unknown company(WLMouse).
Personally I don't want to spend so much on a mouse, whether I can afford it or not. I'm using the Zaopin Z1 pro on 4k and its so good that I haven't considering switching, and if I do it definitely wont be a finalmouse. The BeastX seems much more appealing for less money.
Yeah the beastx is great i got it yesterday and im loving it
Got my beastX a couple of weeks back. Best mouse I ever used. Really really good.
I also have the Beast X, in silver colorway and my backbars are plagued with creaking/flex
@@nathannguyen7972 Lol pointless to even note no? Who grips the mouse that far back
Best mouse I’ve bought, I got mine to use on and off w my ultralight but ended up just using my wlmouse
This was my first finalmouse, and although I like it, it definitely does not FEEL like a mouse at the it's price point. The Mouse1/2 buttons are very unstable and shift back and forth.. the wheel has a cheap springy feel to it that I don't enjoy.. however I do like the shape, and the weight.. I'll continue using it, but I might just resell it and use the X2v2 instead, or try a BeastX
are you going to review the Zowie U2?
How long battery Life on 2000 hz ?)
did you get a pm1 review unit? would like to hear your thoughts on it since you were a g703 enjoyer aswell
I actually really like mine (batch 3). Have to say, the internal side grips are a must for comfort.
I have a ULX cheetah and a WLMouse BeastX Mini coming soon. This will be my decider if I'm finally done with finalmouse. Unfortunately, the starlight small shape is my absolute favorite for fingertip grip.
Let us know how the BeastX Mini compares when you get it. Also trying to make a decision for myself.
try a real fingertip mouse like Zaunkoenig or HSK
I've tried both HSKs and I have the optimum zeromouse. Ftip mice just feel weird for me, i like the weight balancing to feel further back. @@Spuffy1
I had to replace my Superlight 1 under warranty twice. My Superlight 2 is only 3-4 months old I got it on release and it already needs to be replaced due to scroll wheel issues. Not even Logitech gets it right these days.
Hi, if you haven't already, you should try out the WLMouse Beast X - I'd say it's a very competitive mouse vs the ULX
Beast X or Beast X mini?
@@flarierza33 Beast X - similar size to standard ULX. Mini version is essentially the same but smaller afaik
Do review on beast x. Got my copy, cool mouse. But can't get used to almost no hump. So probably for me it would stay as decorative mouse on my shell :c
WTF WARHURYEAH?! I thought I was having a doppelganger moment but it's really you holy shit
I got a good copy but I just want to set my own dpi. I don't understand why I can't
I would never buy this at full price, but I managed to get a deal for one at $120 CAD or $90 USD. the original buyer bought like 2 of each size or something insane like that. its on its way now and I'm excited to try it given how much I paid.
Potpvp people commenting on not potpvp videos are so wild to me
ikr@@keeloman6085
What size did you get?
my only issues are the shipping times & there being no macro support
most of the issues you've listed other than fingerblasting the palm area of the mouse are being fixed in batch 2
I do own a ULX, and it has really bad side flex (just resting my pnky on it causes flex). I have a shipping label to send it back, but haven't gone that route yet. Mine weighs 38.5g. My Beast X however, is rock solid, and weighs 39g. There is no reason that they had to go with carbon at that weight. For .5g they could have still had magnesium and not had to worry about all the growing pains. If someone were to ask me, I would always direct them to the Beast X over the ULX, it's just not worth it.
Dave, you're not being fair. They had a great reason why they needed to go with 'carbon (plastic)' instead of magnesium; carbon fiber is so much cheaper as a material and to machine compared to magnesium. It's a budget 190 USD gaming mouse.
Please understand.
@@Rainsoakedcoat i see what you did there lol
Idk, I have no problems with mine. It's rock solid. Idk how everyone else is having problems. Had it for a few weeks now and it's been great.
Yeah it being a "carbon fibre composite" and being praised for being so revolutionary materials wise means nothing. It's not an actual full carbon fibre weave. Carbon fibre composite just means its a polymer with some carbon fibre sprinkled in. How much? How strong is it compared to regular un reinforced polymers? noone knows. Seeing how other manufacturers have gotten really close in weight by using regular plastics, I doubt it is that special
Except the holes are much larger on the beast x. The ulx feels way better in hand.
I was in the first batch, I've had no problems with mine. I don't really agree with the title, because I've had nothing but a good experience using the ULX. Like the way it looks, feels, and performs. I can see how if you didn't get a good copy than it's warranted, but they also said you can RMA it if unhappy with your copy. In my opinion this video comes across as nitpicking. Just my opinion, but I would definitely get another.
Same I've had 0 problems. Mine is rock solid no flex, amazing mouse. Definitely the best mouse I've had.
I think the point isn't that these were major issues, but rather these issues should not be present on a mouse of this price. $190 is beyond extreme for a mouse.
QC strikes hard I guess? mine has no flexing, friend has rubberlike flex lol
maybe Ill try beastX when they release larger size
7:38 if you get lucky enough and waited from august to December, went through all 'on track's and delays for info that 'we cant ship to your country', thing that they knew from day one, you can ask for batch 2 unit and wait two more months!
This sounds very humorous if it really occurred to someone lol
Used the air58 ninja for a while and loved it. Clicks were not the best, and the scroll wheel was trash, and the ninja branding was cringe, but the ergonomics and weight felt amazing. The holes also helped a ton with sweaty hands- I didn’t get them anymore. My partner uses it now and it’s still great.
Recommended the ULX to his brother, and he’s had it since February and absolutely loves it. No issues. Maybe both of us are extremely lucky, but we like these mice.
Didn’t optimum tech review this mouse and said it was sturdy?
+1. my first and finalmouse from them. they took a month to finally send me a message, cause my copy had noticeable flexing issues on the sides. it feels great and light, but i should've listened to people saying that this company has QC issues all the time.
i have patch 2 of this mouse and it has 0 flex, idk how your one bends like that lol
I ordered one. But it’s taking so long I’ve gotten a Vaxee mouse instead. It’s a very nice looking mouse. Might throw it on the shelf as a display. lol
vaxee are the best for build quality imo. i hope they manage to make something a bit lighter in the future though.
Great review. Seems like fm will get there eventually. Cancelled my fm order and got the ninjusto sora 4K. What a banger of a mouse and cheaper as well.
You should review the WLMouse BeastX. I got it and it’s insanely good!
Yep I also got it, it's ROCK SOLID
Absolutely banger mouse fr
Cant wait for my mini beast to come!!
@@lonrea2886 let us know if it’s good
its very gud just front heavy
im from the first batch of the ulx drop, my mouse felt perfect out the box, over the week it had developed a terribly loud creaking and sideflexing, reached out to finalmouse, think it took a day or so for them to get back, said it was under warranty, gave my info, got back to me in a few hours with a label, sent it off next day, had it back in like 4 days, the sideflex is gone, it does still have flex in the shell on the back and by the triggers but the mouse feels solid for me and im avging jade on voltaic with it. so far im happy it was kinda shit at first but this mouse performs great, battery lasts forever and i use it 24/7, its lighter than my v2 pro even with weight mods on it, i feel like the triggers could be a tad lighter and crisper for the weight. but yeah over all im satisfied.
they paid for all the return shipping and sending it back to me too! for the price i was kinda angry when i took it out the box and started checking it for QC, but they fixed it, and i like the upgrades from it compared to the v2 pro, it feels much better to hold for my hand size than the g pro x, v2 pro, and the mz1(RJN), the only mouse that felt good to hold was the glorious o-, but that mouse had a ton of other issues besides shape.
my biggest complaint is the tape for the battery catching hair, i have a skypad and when that single strand of hair get under the pad its like nails on a chalkboard i stg, and then im having to pick hair out and trying to clean the pads, i have a microfiber cloth i keep near and i just wipe it every now and then to keep it all buttery smooth
Is the finalmouse starlight 12 better?
Too many QC issues on the starlight 12s. I have a Phantom but I use it as paperweight now because the scroll wheel is unusable for gaming and even worse for daily use. From day 1 the scroll wheel was heavily misaligned and within a month it developed issues with scrolling, when I scroll down it goes up every 3 or 4 scrolls down. From what I've searched Finalmouse blames user error despite having terrible quality control. Not to mention the 500hz polling rate. I really wish I didn't sell my Superlight to buy the Finalmouse. Never buy a finalmouse please.
Totally agree about the price. If you’re going to charge a premium price, supply a finished, premium product. It feels rushed.
with finalmouse its awlays a gamble i own a perfect starlight and i might get this new mouse but ive been happy with my lamzu so far fits better in my hand
Is there any brand that make it cheaper and SOLID - without damn holes?
I don't care about weight that much - ~40-50g would be fine. But size is perfect.
Awesome video, have you tried the WLMouse Beast x or X mini?? I would love to watch a review about it
I reached out to them earlier. They might be sending me something to review :D
The only thing thats a problem with the beast X series is battery life in 4k its real bad but from a quality standpoint its amazing
@@xythiera7255 Okay actually not thinking on going to 4k think it's a leap not worth taking right now, 1k good implementations still better than 4k without taking a hit on battery but thanks for the comment, I appreciate it. What's the battery life on 1k 2k and 4k of the mouse do you know?
Honestly just bought the ULX Tiger to have a lighter mouse that actually fits my hand and partially just to finally own a final mouse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But lately I've been using the Beast X mouse and I've really been enjoying it.
Don't know when batch 3 of the small is coming in but if its ass I'm reselling it for $300 lmao
still waiting for the beast x review...
the holiday rush is real
U testing beast x mouse? Is actually rock solid
rock solid review
something the mouse doesnt have
@@realHyp3rLaps3 Idk why this guy's mouse is flexing so much, mine is literal steel lol. No flexing whatsoever. I've had 0 problems with my ulx.
@@glad_exe probly cause urs is newer
Good useful criticisms. Thanks for not just repeating what other reviewers said
Idk man this shape has been the only shape I've ever truly loved.
Ring finger goes on the side, it's a claw grip mouse not palm kek
have 0 issues with my ULX lion, love it
I was so close to buying one of these, thank god i saw multiple reviews and did some research because i would have been very upset for spending 200$ on this. One of my friends bought one and he says it would have been overpriced at 100$ lol
Well I'm just about buying there ultralight board and making it a 35g viper mini shell 😂
The brand of the NPCs..
Thanks for providing the origin story of FinalMouse shape at 0:38 I was looking for it.
I'll be the 10th person to recommend the Beast X. It's... a beast.
i think your mouse was heavier because it had extra electricity in it which explains the insane battery life
7:46 100% agree
I’ve owned a white black and pink superlight they all had problems with lose battery, double click, and side buttons getting stuck in the shell. I have a viper v2 with the 4k dongle it has spin outs. All mice have qc issues I have never owned a final mouse but I don’t understand all the hate they get all mice company’s have qc issues.
My superlight began to double click, along with my g915. I'm done with Logitech now, once my go to.. they've just dropped the ball. Today I got my ULX, let's see how this goes.
@@xzivizx i just received my ulx about a month ago its the best mouse ive owned by far. ZERO QC issues it feels perfect in every way
bro learned how the world works via a gaming mouse
Wlmouse beastX might just be better than the ulx
Idk why so many people are trying to squeeze these mice for a test. Like if you’re death gripping a mouse you shouldn’t be buying one that is more holes than body. Plus why such a hard grip? If you want to death grip a mouse get something like the razer basilisk x hyperspeed….
I thought this is a magnesium. mouse how can it flex like that. Is it plastic?
this is a carbon fiber composite
Great vid man, nailed it 👍
i got no problem with mine, plus i feel like this is the best mouse i have used so far
it was the only honest review that i saw
Fantech mousepad?
yes
I wanted a Starlight TenZ to compliment my custom keyboard, but as it was out of stock, I got myself a 180 degree turn and went with the Dareu A950 Pro Al-Mg and it's the Bugatti of mice.
I've had 4 Logitech Superlights, 3 of them the battery came unstuck and rattles around.
So far the Superlight V2 is fine, but yeah, it's a problem on these mice.
I have ordered the Cheetah version of this. Seeing how split the community is on this mouse being great, okay(?), and straight bad is surprising because it's almost never consistent with any opinion and almost seeming like a lottery in terms of QC of this mouse. I am hopeful my copy will be one of those grails but if it's not, considering the price this will be my first and last copy from final mouse until the future promises a consistent QC.
PROBLEM WAS JUST THE BUILD QUALITY!!! I had two exchanges/repairs and I ended up getting a full return.
this mouse looks like a $30 mouse at best, what is up with the build quality
i got superlight 2 i love it
This mouse was so unusable for me without grips, and the slipperyness of the mouse made me put it up on my stand 1 hour of playing
I dunno if its just me but im sad
That's absolutely disgusting. I was just looking at the price of them here in Australia, the cheapest is $480aud with the most expensive at $615aud, depending on where you get it from. For reference, Razer has always been the king of overpriced PC peripherals and they're most expensive mice are the Deathadder V3 Pro at $270, Basilisk V3 at $300. The Viper Signature was around $360aud I believe, still not even close to the minimum price of an Ultralight X.
Using a g502x on a skypad, I’m good
waiting since 4 month that they get stock back damn is really anoying i wanna have a driverless mouse
final mouse is the audiophile equivalent snakeoil brand. I cannot believe they made it this far but FOMO is one hell of a drug
this was my very first finalmouse and to say Im kinda disappointed as its said to be hard and well built while my copy broke from not even 3 feet and with not much force other than gravity. Theres a hole on the fromt of the mouse and
not sure what to say. My finalmouse has been great since i got it. Maybe im lucky.
Same no problems, absolutely love it, and was worth the price
If you actually do this to your mouse... 5:32 ... there is something wrong with you.
Still gonna buy. I like light mice enough to deal with anything.
It's worth it 100%. These reviews are kinda meh and rlly nit picky. Also my ulx is rock solid, I've had 0 issues. Been using it for a couple weeks now(I upgraded from razer viper) and it's SO nice.
@@glad_exe just wish I could get my hands on a cheetah. Maybe on the next drop. Final Mouse is the only brand that makes a mouse small enough to comfortably palm grip.
who needs mouse to have 30g? isnt 50 already light enough?
Tried lots of mice you can feel the difference like after getting used to one feel the lighter one feels like your hand is finally free but somehow no mouse will survive for a long time (mouse wheels get fucked all the time)
Thank you for always having the most based reviews.
at this rate GPX1 might be the GOAT mouse
my gpx1 has quite a few issues, its def not perfect
Wl beast x review ?
soon (tm)
Yeah I'll stick with the g pro x 2.
Honestly this reveiw is "Rock Solid" - Optimal Tech
No shill detected.
Bro you're not going to hold your mouse on the top anyways. Why does it matter if it flexes there? They also did that to lose the weight. It's a good decision. It only rlly needs to be rock solid on the sides tbh. I've been using mine for a few weeks and I've had 0 issues. This is such a nit picky review. Like it's a 38g mouse they obv need to make some kind of optimization to achieve that kind of weight. This is by far the best mouse I've used. I hit higher scores in Kovaak's immediately after getting this mouse and my aim feels much crispier. It was 100% worth it. If you're rlly trying to go for build quality then go buy a gpro or viper. An ultralight mouse is just not going to be for u.
I own 30-40 mice or so, and I have always said never buy finalmouse, or at the very least; never buy them on release. Their QC is garbage, my starlight phantom feels like it is made of glue balsa wood.
ive had this mouse for a week now and its nice but the only problem i have with it is the battery life, had to charge it twice this week
Rock solid review. ❤
Finalmouse is an uncredible company. The pricing is high but it's still so similar to a superlight x, the ulx is still better then a superlight even with those issue. I hope they get resolved in the future. I think the company really screwed up the marketing this time
How is it better than the superlight x? Because it's weighs less?
@even1313 yeah and the carbon fiber feels a little bit better in the hand but it's not really important
the superlight is better than the ulx for durability for sure
@even1313 the weight is also not really important for me unless I want to fingertip I guess
it's just a small difference
Congrats. We have early access products even in mouse sector.
I thought it was well understood withing the community that you should never buy the first edition of finalmouse
WTF ?!! That flex is craaaaaazy
In my country, this mouse cost $341.
😅
Okay, but it's my best shape
But.. it is sold out. Not continuous production. Cant buy it. So they lied
thats the final mouse,,,,final....mouse.....after seeing that flex
First, I THOUGHT ULX is from DELUX tbh
