Update: To be clear, the limbo jumps don't happen too much with the gold version, but do on the blue, so after speaking with others and getting more feedback, seems it's a quality control issue on the blue, but the scroll is at normal levels for limbo jumps on the gold. Every wheel will have them from time to time, just how it is. I was worried because I had heaps on the blue copy, but it makes sense it's just a defective unit.
@@FcoEnriquePerez Every company has QC issues, nothing is perfect, not sure what you're trying to joke about here but it's pretty standard. If it becomes a known factor and a lot of wheels are like that, then yeah that's a problem, but if it's just a one off, then ... completely normal.
@@RocketJumpNinjahe's joking about how "notorious" finalmouse is with QC issues, without recognizing they are an extremely small company in comparison to many of the other mice companies.
I saw a different review of this mouse, and I was sure it was not 76g. The reveal of it being 2 units is kinda genius, it gives you a better comparison.
Remember guys, no need to fight over your FOMO with this mouse. Just keep waiting until you're comfortable to purchase. The longer you wait, the better the QC gets as they get more and more complaints and RMAs. There's usually a better chance that later batches will be even more consistent with their intended quality for mice. No guarantees on that matter tho, just pure speculation.

Nice review, just wanted to point out that the GPX is more comparable with the large ULX. (ULX: 126mm Length x 59mm Grip Width x 38.4mm Height vs. GPX: 125 mm Length x 63.5mm Width x 40mm Height)
I'm currently maining a pulsar x2 mini bruce lee edition, and the smallest version of the UltralightX is dimensionally only a little bit smaller than the x2 mini. I'm a pretty hardcore claw grip but im currently debating between either getting the small or medium size for the UltralightX. What an incredible mouse from the reviews ive seen so far!
19x10 claw gripper here, I can claw the small starlight. I think you should try the medium as it's gonna be to you first, and then refund it if you feel like you can go smaller. Alternatively you can buy the small and then go up once they're in continuous production
@@3ildcard thank you man I appreciate the tip, yeah I figure the small might be my best bet as the dimensions are most similar at least in terms of length and width. My main concern at the moment is the sides of the final mouse are slimmer than the x2 which I may have to try and adjust to and im ngl i love the shape of the x2 as its the mouse that has best supported my grip so far. honestly if I end up not finding the finalmouse not to be for me I was considering getting an x2h mini since the shape on that looks super appealing to my grip style. On a separate note in your experience with finalmouse what kind of mousepad did you find the most comfortable with it? Also if you did, what feet did you use or are the stock pretty good? I know its sort of a subjective question but i'm just curious from your experience. thanks!
Great video! Love how in depth you went on the important aspects of the shape, I feel like I got more out of this than some reviews talking 15 minutes about how every dimension of a mouse compares with other mice.
Day 1 MZ1 and MZ1 wireless buyer, knew it was my mouse the minute you announced them. I'll try the UltralightX, but I know where I'll probably end up - staying with the MZ1 ;) Much love Zy
thanks for adressing the issue with scrollwheels getting stuck mid step, this has been a major issue for me with the past few mice to the point where I just went with a EC2-CW which has the best scrollwheel for me, no issues.
The wheel is hard to get right. They're trying to keep weight down to an absolute minimum while also making something that will last a long time. Unfortunately I don't think they thoroughly tested for limbo jumps, but I've let them know now so hopefully future versions will be ok or improved. The gold copy wasn't too bad at least.
Hi. A comment regarding hump position. I have an MZ1 and it's great. It feels super stable with a fingertip grip. Like you I grip it with my fingers further forward on the mouse (maybe even slightly more forward: I have large palms and relatively short fingers). However I do prefer mice with a hump towards the middle. The reason for this is that I have a very light and relaxed grip with my fingers in a neutral position, and this fits with holding the mouse at an angle and not straight in the hand. I like to fit the mouse to my hand, not my hand to the mouse. Having a hump towards the back makes the mouse tend to rotate straighter against this position, trying to make the hump fit in the hollow of my palm, and fighting a little against my natural grip. Tho maybe this plus the comfort grooves is what gives the MZ1 its stability. Also interestingly despite this, it's the least fatiguing mouse I've used -- my hunch is that the small size and low button height keeps my hand tension low. Also, just btw, I like symmetrical mice more but I figured that the MZ1 was close enough to try out. I'm naturally right-handed but ambidextrous with mice, and I actually prefer gaming (FPS) with the MZ1 left-handed :D Mostly because my thumb feels better that way against the flatter side, rather than the other fingers. I've since padded out the other side a little with some tape to make it more symmetrical. Also, just for info, I main an M8, but the the MZ1, while feeling quite different, is a very close second. I love small and maneuverable mice.
I didn't know you designed the MZ1. I have been maining the MZ1 wireless for a little over a year now. I love the feel of it. The only thing is I wish they would come up with an update to help with the latency. All the other mice right now are getting really good with latency. I also rock glass skates on my mz1 and daily drive it all the time with the glass. It was a loooong time for me to get use to the 0 friction lol. I couldn't click anything for so long. I just kept dragging things around when trying to click on anything.
My biggest complaints so far with the MZ1 is just the tendency for the mouse to tip over on it sides. It doesn't like to stay very flat on the desk and I inadvertently tip it on its side sometimes making the sensor kinda go wack. Also the weight balance feels a little top heavy. Especially compared to a mouse like the MM712. On the MM712, it feels like the entire weight of the mouse is perfectly flat on the base. The last thing is just the switches the MZ1 uses. The initial click is good, but the rebound sometimes blends in a lot with the initial click and just feels a little off. It makes it harder to predict when you release the click. Would love some good optical switches on it. One thing I have to give credit for is xtrfys wireless tech is so much better than coolermasters. I can literally feel the jitteryness on my mm712 when tracking sometimes and I confirmed this looking at polling stability graphs. For some reason the coolermaster wireless tech is just really jittery and not super stable. On the MZ1 I haven't had a single drop out ever in the months and months of using it. And the mouse feel is super smooth and consistent. And the polling stability graphs reflect that as well.
@tiendatnguyenhua4283 yea it's actually one of the worst ones out of all other gamer mice. So basically at 240hz you have about 2 frames of latency for quick reference math lol.
It's a new encoder and most wheels have some limbo jumps, pretty standard, it's just I think the steps are too big or ... mechanical? Hard to describe, but these "click" into position, which you'd think would stop the limbo jumps, but actually makes them worse because there's enough tension to keep the wheel in place even between steps. It's a fine balance they have to find, I guess. They're aware of it now so we'll see how it goes. Again though, the gold copy wasn't too bad, just something that really hinders me these days when I play Apex.
Sounds good to me, let Xtrfy know there's extra demand out here and not just me asking for it! No RGB, maybe more holes, thinner walls; go extra extra light.
@@RocketJumpNinja I personally love the RBG in the corrent MZ1. I do think a pro version would be amazing. I would buy it as long as it kept the same feel as the MZ1!
Also for MZ1 - side buttons are mushy, change them for Kailh 8.0 and it's good. Then make M1 and M2 lighter clicks Omrons or TTC Golds....endgame mouse!! @@RocketJumpNinja
Can't wait for your review of small 29g one. Right now I'm using v2 pro with modded baseplate and it's 48g, but switching to 29g damn that should feel like feather :)
Damn, that thing looks good. I really love the accents on the mouse Buttons. The blue one would match my Shroud keyboard in Style, but would love to see them in deep orange. :)
I really wanted to wait for this mouse it looks great and sounds amazing but i decided to go with the Lamzu OG Atlantis V2 cause as you said size and shape is king and the width on it looks a lot better then the Final mouse and the GPX which is my daily driver right now
I still prefer mz1 shape overall (even though cable died) but let’s be honest. The built quality on ultralight is much better. Mz1 always felt cranky made sound if holding it tight. Not a huge problem. But it exists.
First off, thank you for the video. Second, I don’t want to be that guy, but I feel like I should mention this every time I see it, and for everyone who might read this. Final Mouse will NOT achieve their claim of continuous availability anytime soon. While the reviewers may not intend any harm on their part by mentioning this goal, it’s still hype and dishonesty with FM’s marketing, and I’m going to call it out. If I’m wrong later, I’m wrong. As it stands though, they have not even delivered the keyboard they made such a big deal out of to their customers, and they are struggling to deliver each batch (AKA “DROP”) of the ULX on time. As far as I can tell, they’re still doing the same old things and having extreme issues with their delivery windows, but glossing it up with better marketing and reviewer coverage. That all being said, I don’t hate FM and I plan to purchase the ULX from a friend who was able to buy them. I just believe there needs to be more transparency and less reliance on the whole “continuous availability” thing. This won’t happen for at least a year, if not more. In the meantime it will take you months to obtain one direct from FM at retail, AFTER you beat the bots, endure the shipping delays, and possibly QC issues. If you still want one, that’s alright; I just want you to know what you are signing up for. Thank you for reading. If I’m wrong later, let me know.
As a MZ1 main user I am wondering if you have plans to release an updated version of the MZ1 with smaller weight. A 15-20g decrease will makes this shape reclaim the top spot for the most recommended mice if we go by your principles. Finalmouse is leaving peoples in the dust with their progress of weight reduction, already moving beyond magnesium allow and look for carbon fiber mods. It is like a whole decade of potential products based on the magnesium has been skipped.
ive tried alot of different mice over the years from the g900, g502x plus , g pro, lamzu atlantis, glorious , razer death adder v3 pro , id say my fav mouse is the Razer basilisk v3 pro i just love the shape of that mouse the most comfortable mouse for my hand and i love having scroll wheel left and right click i think this should be a must for any mouse
Waiting for xlite v3 and v3 mini so much! I'm using lamzu atlantis mini for fingertip grip, but recently tried the DAv3 pro, it was so good, but was too big. Looking for xlite v3 mini reviews when it goes on sale 🙃
Sadly many units rn have bad flexing on the side and palm part , the specs and shape are insane , but something like that is not okay , also the shipping delay is a joke , from aug 1 to december ! They updated the shipping for batch 1 again to 2-3 weeks , and 2nd batch will launch in dec 10th They delayed the shipping for QC control , but even now many people who got it in the US complain about the flexing issue I srsly hope finalmouse can improve that stuff otherwise i think they get a huge backlash
Something else to point out about low weight: it's less strain. I've had major surgery in right shoulder. The shoulder will never be what it was, but I've recovered and enjoy a mostly standard quality of life with only very minor issues (for example: I can still handwrite but the quality is lower than it was). I can still game with a mouse and keyboard, but I require a light weight and a low resistance in order for it to not cause strain, especially over longer gaming sessions. I currently use a G Pro Superlight with a Logitech hard pad, and I can still get a good day of gaming in with only short breaks when I have the time. I'm very curious what Zy has to say about hard pads, as I'm considering upgrading to a glass pad soon, both for less resistance and also for longevity (the hard pad doesn't seem to last too long). I am worried about there being a point of negative returns, where there is so little resistance it causes more strain since I have to counter my own acceleration more as opposed to letting friction slow and/or stop the mouse. When I used to play on cloth with a heavier mouse, it was unbearable after an hour of use post-surgery. Things needed to change ASAP. I'm VERY interested in this new finalmouse.
Well, I own a skypad 3.0 xl and the major problem is that you speed run mouse feets/skates in months, so you have to be ready to buy a bunch of mouse feet or dots
Great review. Too bad about the scroll wheel. I've owned 3 different versions of the ultralight mice and hey all had bq issues. Is this one better than previous ones?
Def wanna hear your thoughts on all the new lightweight Chinese mice being released recently like the scyrox v8 and mad r major. How do they compare to other mice like the sora v2. Im also really interested in their latency numbers.
@@nykz2358 tbh, at some point you just draw the line, and usually it's not even about lack of money - more about diminishing returns. If you pay two times more for features you won't even fully utilize in the end, then there is no point to do so. Any mouse with weight around 60g is already good enough and if you play games casually you won't even notice the difference between switches and sensors.
I have had the MZ1 by Xtrfy for about a year now and can't go back. I need you to make your design but using Carbon Fiber or Magnesium like finalmouse and this will be a godsent.
Have you tried the Engame Op1we yet? I'm curious what you think about it. I have it now and have not to date, seen such solid build quality in a mouse and I''ve tried many of the ones on your list. Keep up the great videos!
after my GPX broke i decided to hold off on buying another mouse bc i specifically wanted to wait for the ULX, only to find out they’re STILL having scroll wheel issues in 2024. ggs
superlight, super cool, but, i cant use any of these mice as normal give me some crazy wrist pain. I'm stuck on my logi mx vertcial until some better options come along
Honestly I would use a MZ1 Wireless as I mained a wired MZ1 (cable died) but to get a wireless MZ1 in Canada, its ridiculously expensive compared to the wired version of the mouse.
Thanks for the review. My favorite mouse of all times was G303 Daedalus Apex, which has similar shape to G302. It has only one disadvantage: it's wired. Currently I use G305 and it's just meh.. The shape of G303 was so much better. As a man, that saw a lot of mices, could you advice a modern wireless mouse with the shape similar to G303? By "similar shape" I mostly mean 2 things: 1) its lengthwise profile (hump placement, side buttons placement), and 2) how it tapers to the end in top view
I also loved the first G303. After that I also switched to a G305 since I wanted a wireless mouse. Using it with Lithium batteries made it light weight enough. A year or so ago I switched the the G303 Shroud Edition, and have been super happy with that. The shape is very similar to the original G303, but it's more lightweight, modern sensor and of course fully wireless. Nowadays it's nowhere near the lightest (75g of weight) but still the shape makes it really good for me. I'm planning on ordering the small ULX though just to try out as it's over 2x lighter than the G303 SE. Definitely recommend trying the G303SE though, if you are looking for a similar shape to the G303.
@@HenrikLuukkonen btw, do you know, since when and who decided, than lighter = better? I remember my old G9, which had ADDITIONAL WEIGHTS to it xD, so one can make it heavier :D
@@archonoff I'm sure you'll be pleased with the G303SE! Haha I too remember those times, I also had a G500 with more weights to add if you needed. I think the "lightweightness" movement really caught on a few years ago, mainly with a lot of reviewers (such as RocketJumpNinja) preaching the advantages of a lightweight mouse but it's a personal preference for sure! Think of it like this: you have less weight to move around, making the mouse movement more effortless and natural. This can improve tracking, but also help with wrist sprain, etc. So your aiming can be more precise in competitive games, but it's only up to you if it's better for you or not. Once I get the Finalmouse ULX sometime next year will be fun to see if it really improves anything for me since I have no experience with super lightweight mouse.
I mean Rocket the MZ1 is YOUR mouse my guy. Why would you ever switch? I have an MZ1 and love it. However the polling rate will be a super advantage with the ULX. Because collecting mice myself. I feel the difference of 1000hz to 2000hz. However, I think there is a diminished return from 2000hz to 4000hz unless you have a monitor that can support it. Definitely want to get my hands on one of those 560hz monitors! 😆
It's honestly crazy that it only weighs 31 grams it's literally 30 grams lighter than the logitech g pro x superlight 2 which is insane and it's even lighter the finalmouse starlight-12 phantom
The ulx tiger is a lot more similar to the gpx in terms of shape and size than the ulx lion according to eloshapes. In fact, it seems to be smaller than the gpx so why do you think medium is more similar to the gpx?
I was basing it on the Ultralight Phantom size, which is more like an FK1+, which feel bigger than the GPX, so figured medium is closer to GPX out of the two, as generally I recommend GPX as a medium and the Ultralight Phantom size as large and even extra large FTIP grip. I guess we'll see when the large is actually out, I was told it's a bit smaller but by how much, not sure, so could be right that it's more like a GPX. We'll see!
Hey there, great video. I just bought the Sora because of your review on it. I absolutely love the Zowie S2 shape, used it forever. Is there any wireless and lightweight mice on the market the are pretty identical to the S2 shape? Thank you.
I got ability on the front MC1 side button, and I keep pushing the button without intending to. Hope for a version where it's a bit more difficult to do it by accident.
We need solid sides on the mz1. I love the mouse and feel like i aim best with it. However my pinky and thumb are lined up with the senser and my ring finger near the top. So bothe my pink wnd ring fall on the holes witch i dont like. I tried grips but most are to thick and changes the way the mouse feels. Only way i was able to fix this without changeing width was buy useing the ultra thin grips that came with the g pro superlight
Can you release the music in the background that always kicks in like in 4:50. I think it was made by you if I remember from back in the day but its so damn good I need to hear it
Yeah been using that song for years, used to use it in the headset reviews. I haven't released any of that because the bass is all out of whack, could blow up some people's speakers. I gotta learn to mix and master better. Also the other problem is if I release instrumentals, others could take it and cause me headaches with copyright (way of the world these days). So... I could probably put it in a highlights video in the background, so it'll have Quake sounds all through it. Would you be cool with that?
@@RocketJumpNinja yeah I remember a good old video of yours when you can hear it loud enough.

And the mouse feel is super smooth and consistent. And the polling stability graphs reflect that as well.
@@IStratz THIS, I also have issues with tilting it and loosing rhe sensors in intence fights
Wait, is there any latency on mz1 wireless!? I going to but hold on rn😅
@tiendatnguyenhua4283 yea it's actually one of the worst ones out of all other gamer mice. So basically at 240hz you have about 2 frames of latency for quick reference math lol.
@@caddy7779 thanks for your feed back, so what mouse using on 240hz smooth can i buy? Im considering vaxee wireless or gpl superlight 2 ?
coolest hand cam ever! Great review
Jesus is back 💛
Mice Daddy of UA-cam, The Dr-Mr.RJN!
I got a medium and it comes in tomorrow. Finally!!!
Just got mine today and it’s sick
Love the fact that this is recored in 21:9, makes it look so great on my ultrawide.
Same scroll wheel issue as my starlight, makes me weary of them ever fixing this...
It's a new encoder and most wheels have some limbo jumps, pretty standard, it's just I think the steps are too big or ... mechanical? Hard to describe, but these "click" into position, which you'd think would stop the limbo jumps, but actually makes them worse because there's enough tension to keep the wheel in place even between steps. It's a fine balance they have to find, I guess. They're aware of it now so we'll see how it goes. Again though, the gold copy wasn't too bad, just something that really hinders me these days when I play Apex.
We need an update mz1 pro, same shape with upgraded tech and maybe slightly lighter!
Personally a magnesium mz1 would be certified endgame for me
Sounds good to me, let Xtrfy know there's extra demand out here and not just me asking for it! No RGB, maybe more holes, thinner walls; go extra extra light.
@@RocketJumpNinja I personally love the RBG in the corrent MZ1. I do think a pro version would be amazing. I would buy it as long as it kept the same feel as the MZ1!
@@RocketJumpNinjamaybe skip the hull entirely and go for a fingertip only design like Optimum's mouse that just dropped. 28grams
Also for MZ1 - side buttons are mushy, change them for Kailh 8.0 and it's good. Then make M1 and M2 lighter clicks Omrons or TTC Golds....endgame mouse!! @@RocketJumpNinja
Mine comes in Saturday!
Mine just came in I can’t wait to use it
This new FM is a great, can't deny that, but the MZ1 is so fucking perfect that I cannot see myself using anything else.
Can't wait for your review of small 29g one. Right now I'm using v2 pro with modded baseplate and it's 48g, but switching to 29g damn that should feel like feather :)
lmao its gonna be 34grams minimum
@@whoisthatthingwhat did they confirm calculation bias? :)
@@XSFlanger 32=38, 29 = 34 im being generous
Nice video review, hopefully I will get my hands on one soon
Damn, that thing looks good. I really love the accents on the mouse Buttons. The blue one would match my Shroud keyboard in Style, but would love to see them in deep orange. :)
2x ULX weighing 10g less than a G302 really shows how far the mouse industry has come.
Great vid, still sticking to the Zy's Rail though :)..
very nice i will get one when more are available thank u brother
I really wanted to wait for this mouse it looks great and sounds amazing but i decided to go with the Lamzu OG Atlantis V2 cause as you said size and shape is king and the width on it looks a lot better then the Final mouse and the GPX which is my daily driver right now
I still prefer mz1 shape overall (even though cable died) but let’s be honest. The built quality on ultralight is much better. Mz1 always felt cranky made sound if holding it tight. Not a huge problem. But it exists.
First off, thank you for the video.
Second, I don’t want to be that guy, but I feel like I should mention this every time I see it, and for everyone who might read this.
Final Mouse will NOT achieve their claim of continuous availability anytime soon.
While the reviewers may not intend any harm on their part by mentioning this goal, it’s still hype and dishonesty with FM’s marketing, and I’m going to call it out. If I’m wrong later, I’m wrong. As it stands though, they have not even delivered the keyboard they made such a big deal out of to their customers, and they are struggling to deliver each batch (AKA “DROP”) of the ULX on time. As far as I can tell, they’re still doing the same old things and having extreme issues with their delivery windows, but glossing it up with better marketing and reviewer coverage.
That all being said, I don’t hate FM and I plan to purchase the ULX from a friend who was able to buy them. I just believe there needs to be more transparency and less reliance on the whole “continuous availability” thing. This won’t happen for at least a year, if not more. In the meantime it will take you months to obtain one direct from FM at retail, AFTER you beat the bots, endure the shipping delays, and possibly QC issues. If you still want one, that’s alright; I just want you to know what you are signing up for.
Thank you for reading. If I’m wrong later, let me know.
As a MZ1 main user I am wondering if you have plans to release an updated version of the MZ1 with smaller weight.
A 15-20g decrease will makes this shape reclaim the top spot for the most recommended mice if we go by your principles.
Finalmouse is leaving peoples in the dust with their progress of weight reduction, already moving beyond magnesium allow and look for carbon fiber mods.
It is like a whole decade of potential products based on the magnesium has been skipped.
ive tried alot of different mice over the years from the g900, g502x plus , g pro, lamzu atlantis, glorious , razer death adder v3 pro , id say my fav mouse is the Razer basilisk v3 pro i just love the shape of that mouse the most comfortable mouse for my hand and i love having scroll wheel left and right click i think this should be a must for any mouse
The mouse is too heavy. I'll give mine out in a heartbeat
MZ1 🔛🔝
Oh yes the supreme brand of mice
everyone knows that we're only waiting for an updated version of your MZ1 wireless
Thx for the review! Will u also make one for the Wlmouse beast x?
I was wondering that too even a mini review would be nice too as some of the internals is different
G302 still slaps to this day.
Xtrfy x Final Mouse Carbon MZ2+ when?
Waiting for xlite v3 and v3 mini so much! I'm using lamzu atlantis mini for fingertip grip, but recently tried the DAv3 pro, it was so good, but was too big. Looking for xlite v3 mini reviews when it goes on sale 🙃
Sadly many units rn have bad flexing on the side and palm part , the specs and shape are insane , but something like that is not okay , also the shipping delay is a joke , from aug 1 to december ! They updated the shipping for batch 1 again to 2-3 weeks , and 2nd batch will launch in dec 10th
They delayed the shipping for QC control , but even now many people who got it in the US complain about the flexing issue
I srsly hope finalmouse can improve that stuff otherwise i think they get a huge backlash
im still hoping for Microsoft to make a wireless Pro Intellimouse and make it around 70 grams or so. i think that would be a hit even today
Glad you stated that it's different for hard pads lol it definitely is.
Something else to point out about low weight: it's less strain. I've had major surgery in right shoulder. The shoulder will never be what it was, but I've recovered and enjoy a mostly standard quality of life with only very minor issues (for example: I can still handwrite but the quality is lower than it was). I can still game with a mouse and keyboard, but I require a light weight and a low resistance in order for it to not cause strain, especially over longer gaming sessions.
I currently use a G Pro Superlight with a Logitech hard pad, and I can still get a good day of gaming in with only short breaks when I have the time. I'm very curious what Zy has to say about hard pads, as I'm considering upgrading to a glass pad soon, both for less resistance and also for longevity (the hard pad doesn't seem to last too long). I am worried about there being a point of negative returns, where there is so little resistance it causes more strain since I have to counter my own acceleration more as opposed to letting friction slow and/or stop the mouse.
When I used to play on cloth with a heavier mouse, it was unbearable after an hour of use post-surgery. Things needed to change ASAP. I'm VERY interested in this new finalmouse.
Well, I own a skypad 3.0 xl and the major problem is that you speed run mouse feets/skates in months, so you have to be ready to buy a bunch of mouse feet or dots
That's what I can say, but yeah, wait till he drop the hard pad video
I hear ya. Check out keyboards with rapid trigger to help (apex mini, Wooting)
Great review! Can I buy your Phantom?
Great review. Too bad about the scroll wheel. I've owned 3 different versions of the ultralight mice and hey all had bq issues. Is this one better than previous ones?
So wait. Wait for more reviews. 40gram mice I'm using the pulsar x2 v2 mini and even though I'm large hands I still want smaller and lighter
Def wanna hear your thoughts on all the new lightweight Chinese mice being released recently like the scyrox v8 and mad r major. How do they compare to other mice like the sora v2. Im also really interested in their latency numbers.
always wanted to get a final mouse but its so damn expensive, same goes for the mz1
get money
@@nykz2358 tbh, at some point you just draw the line, and usually it's not even about lack of money - more about diminishing returns. If you pay two times more for features you won't even fully utilize in the end, then there is no point to do so. Any mouse with weight around 60g is already good enough and if you play games casually you won't even notice the difference between switches and sensors.
“$20 is $20”
Yeah $190 for non-solid sides, no side grips included and a fucked up wheel sounds crazy amarite
not being able to set my own dpi is an absolute deal breaker ima stick the the viper v2pro unless they change it
It wouldn't be a finalmouse without mouse wheel issues.
click latency on the ULX is (iirc) 2nd fastest, only beaten by the Zaunkoenig M2K (which is wired)
I have had the MZ1 by Xtrfy for about a year now and can't go back. I need you to make your design but using Carbon Fiber or Magnesium like finalmouse and this will be a godsent.
Have you tried the Engame Op1we yet? I'm curious what you think about it. I have it now and have not to date, seen such solid build quality in a mouse and I''ve tried many of the ones on your list. Keep up the great videos!
love your vids Zy, could you possibly make a vid on the WLmouse Beast X medium or mini?
after my GPX broke i decided to hold off on buying another mouse bc i specifically wanted to wait for the ULX, only to find out they’re STILL having scroll wheel issues in 2024. ggs
superlight, super cool, but, i cant use any of these mice as normal give me some crazy wrist pain. I'm stuck on my logi mx vertcial until some better options come along
Honestly I would use a MZ1 Wireless as I mained a wired MZ1 (cable died) but to get a wireless MZ1 in Canada, its ridiculously expensive compared to the wired version of the mouse.
It is the new RJN's top mice! Just WOW
When is Xtrfy gonna do a new release? Like I wanna see those nice shapes with no holes
I’m patiently waiting for the Cheetah (S) version to drop 🙃
Thanks for the review. My favorite mouse of all times was G303 Daedalus Apex, which has similar shape to G302. It has only one disadvantage: it's wired.
Currently I use G305 and it's just meh.. The shape of G303 was so much better.
As a man, that saw a lot of mices, could you advice a modern wireless mouse with the shape similar to G303? By "similar shape" I mostly mean 2 things: 1) its lengthwise profile (hump placement, side buttons placement), and 2) how it tapers to the end in top view
I also loved the first G303. After that I also switched to a G305 since I wanted a wireless mouse. Using it with Lithium batteries made it light weight enough. A year or so ago I switched the the G303 Shroud Edition, and have been super happy with that. The shape is very similar to the original G303, but it's more lightweight, modern sensor and of course fully wireless. Nowadays it's nowhere near the lightest (75g of weight) but still the shape makes it really good for me. I'm planning on ordering the small ULX though just to try out as it's over 2x lighter than the G303 SE. Definitely recommend trying the G303SE though, if you are looking for a similar shape to the G303.
@@HenrikLuukkonen thanks. Yesterday i already ordered the g303se. Hope it'll be good for me
@@HenrikLuukkonen btw, do you know, since when and who decided, than lighter = better? I remember my old G9, which had ADDITIONAL WEIGHTS to it xD, so one can make it heavier :D
@@archonoff I'm sure you'll be pleased with the G303SE! Haha I too remember those times, I also had a G500 with more weights to add if you needed. I think the "lightweightness" movement really caught on a few years ago, mainly with a lot of reviewers (such as RocketJumpNinja) preaching the advantages of a lightweight mouse but it's a personal preference for sure! Think of it like this: you have less weight to move around, making the mouse movement more effortless and natural. This can improve tracking, but also help with wrist sprain, etc. So your aiming can be more precise in competitive games, but it's only up to you if it's better for you or not. Once I get the Finalmouse ULX sometime next year will be fun to see if it really improves anything for me since I have no experience with super lightweight mouse.
but how do you buy this mouse? there's no option to pre order...
Hello RJN!
Hey, how are things?
I think I would love the smaller one as I'm on a Viper Mini now but for $190 this is not the mouse for me.
hold on i thought it was meant to be 29g?
The small is meant to be about that ... we'll see once it's out!
@@RocketJumpNinja they tweeted not too long ago that the weight is increased by like 3 grams or so than they originally planned.
thanks mate@@RocketJumpNinja
scammed@@2xenn
I mean Rocket the MZ1 is YOUR mouse my guy. Why would you ever switch? I have an MZ1 and love it.
However the polling rate will be a super advantage with the ULX. Because collecting mice myself.
I feel the difference of 1000hz to 2000hz. However, I think there is a diminished return from 2000hz to 4000hz unless you have a monitor that can support it. Definitely want to get my hands on one of those 560hz monitors! 😆
Solid shell MZ1w waiting room 💀
Can you review the budget wireless mouse ATTACK SHARK X3?
I like the price and availability
I would really like to know your opinion about the Gwolves HSK PRO 4K.
Will you do SPRIME PM1 review?
M3k review when it comes out?
so heavy keyboards and light mouse are the thing now?
the hairs stuck on the adhesive at the back though lol
Can you review the Sharkoon light200 ?
Hello, could you review some of the $40 chinese gaming mice with 3395 sensor? I'm really curious on how they compare to branded ones.
At this point, im just waiting for a company to make a gaming "glove" as a mouse
fantashtic... whats the price
It's honestly crazy that it only weighs 31 grams it's literally 30 grams lighter than the logitech g pro x superlight 2 which is insane and it's even lighter the finalmouse starlight-12 phantom
I ordered 2x mice for the price of this single one - Lamzu Thorn and Fantech Helios II Pro...
The ulx tiger is a lot more similar to the gpx in terms of shape and size than the ulx lion according to eloshapes. In fact, it seems to be smaller than the gpx so why do you think medium is more similar to the gpx?
I was basing it on the Ultralight Phantom size, which is more like an FK1+, which feel bigger than the GPX, so figured medium is closer to GPX out of the two, as generally I recommend GPX as a medium and the Ultralight Phantom size as large and even extra large FTIP grip. I guess we'll see when the large is actually out, I was told it's a bit smaller but by how much, not sure, so could be right that it's more like a GPX. We'll see!
and here I am fingertipping the m75 air while watching this video 😆
Isn't this roughly shaped like a Deathadder? Could be a replacement for it.
I just realised I don't even rest my hand on the mouse like one normally would, I barely touch it and rest it on the mousepad instead 😂
Hey there, great video. I just bought the Sora because of your review on it. I absolutely love the Zowie S2 shape, used it forever. Is there any wireless and lightweight mice on the market the are pretty identical to the S2 shape? Thank you.
I'll have a video for the Fantech Helios II soon, haven't compared it with the S2 yet but will do in the video, maybe wait for that...
@@RocketJumpNinja awesome, thank you!
I got ability on the front MC1 side button, and I keep pushing the button without intending to. Hope for a version where it's a bit more difficult to do it by accident.
We need solid sides on the mz1. I love the mouse and feel like i aim best with it. However my pinky and thumb are lined up with the senser and my ring finger near the top. So bothe my pink wnd ring fall on the holes witch i dont like. I tried grips but most are to thick and changes the way the mouse feels. Only way i was able to fix this without changeing width was buy useing the ultra thin grips that came with the g pro superlight
This is killing me because I love my mz1 wireless. Can we get an ultralight mz1 plz 🥺
Can I actually buy this one?
Can you release the music in the background that always kicks in like in 4:50. I think it was made by you if I remember from back in the day but its so damn good I need to hear it
Yeah been using that song for years, used to use it in the headset reviews. I haven't released any of that because the bass is all out of whack, could blow up some people's speakers. I gotta learn to mix and master better. Also the other problem is if I release instrumentals, others could take it and cause me headaches with copyright (way of the world these days). So... I could probably put it in a highlights video in the background, so it'll have Quake sounds all through it. Would you be cool with that?
@@RocketJumpNinja yeah I remember a good old video of yours when you can hear it loud enough. I have the Sennheisers HD800S and I really like the sound signature in this headphones compared to others.
I totally understand the copyright issue, I would do the same if I were you so no problem of me.
Watching your vids since 2016, really nice work mate!
