Since ancient times, it was foretold that the XM1 would be reforged in the heart of Germany. So here we are in 2024, the XM2w 4k is here and it's pretty dang nice.
Oh dang for real!? That's really encouraging to hear. Happy I could help, and surprised to hear ai is recommending my content! Ain't complaining though haha.
Just found your channel, your reviews are outstanding! Thanks so much for the video :) I completely agree on how awesome this mouse/shape is. Never got to use the XM1 shape back in the day, so it’s my first time trying the shape, but wow. Almost makes me wanna try a Zowie ZA13 to get an even higher back hump now. But yeah I’ve had it for about a week now, and haven’t touched my Viper V3, Maya X, or ULX. Just an outstanding mouse. And the value like you said is crazy. This is gonna be my first recommend to friends with M/L hands who want a new wireless mouse
Some of my favorites are Genji, Lucio and Kiriko. I like the wall crawlers. No particular reason… And than randomly Ram. OP1 8k is also pretty insane performance to value. Really excited for the OP1w 4k, probably gonna try and get the white frost once it drops.
Skates are a very subjective thing. Really you can pick any that you like, the skates for the XM2we should fit fine on this one as well since a lot of companies haven’t made dedicated XM2w 4k skates yet. I prefer ptfe skates over glass skates for their flexibility. Xraypad jade and obsidian skates are favorites of mine. Plastix skates are an interesting one I’ve fiddled with a bit, significantly more durable but slower than ptfe.
@@GekkoTechGaming ok thanks. I'm trying to decide between the OP1 or XM2. My hands are 20 x 10 cm so I feel like the XM2 is a better size/shape for me, but I really like the option to experiment with different switches on the OP1. I'm surprised because I thought they shared identical hardware
DAV3 Pro. But... been using the Hyperspeed and it's pretty dang close. Way better deal, to the point that I'd probably recommend the Hyperspeed to most people before the Pro. I'll probably do a comparison review between the models sometime soon.
@ Thank you. Pulled the trigger on the Hyperspeed, when it released out of no where and for that price. Made me realize preferred ergos, all this time. Packed up all my symmetrical mice. One nitpick is the front flare, bothers my ring finger. Still would like trying more ergos Xlite V4, EC2-DW, & EGG Ergo. Didn't like Thorn (tall) & Xlite V2 Mini (small).
I got myself a XM2w 4K (black) and I am sad to say, that its perceived build quality is a whole level below a Razer Viper v3 Pro (this mouse makes not a single noise that is not supposed to do): My particular problem here is that I have slightly sweaty fingers and I use one of the side buttons for "push to talk" in Discord. However, when releasing either side of the two side buttons quickly with a even only damp thumb then there is a VERY cheap feeling/sounding sound of plastic vibrating. (a kind of a "sproing") Since I will use this button extremely often, this is a hard pass for me, because this annoyed me from the start and is only going to get worse (the annoyance, not the sound) and it just makes the whole mouse experience feel cheap.
@@v0aks This is exactly what I do, because I do mind not to annoy other participants, mate. ;) (Voice activation is for singles who dont eat while at the PC or assholes)
@@tehcod6157 I am not talking about the QC (=quality control), I am talking about the real life quality of both units on my desk. And the Razer Viper V3 Pro is in another league compared to the EGG XM2w 4K. You can laugh as much as you want. They are both here.
That is a huge bummer to hear. I use the side buttons for crouching and melee in OW2, so bad side buttons are a deal breaker for me as well. Mine work great though. Surprised, I've had like 5 or 6 EGG mice including this one and none of them ever had any problems with quality control or build quality. I think it's also worth mentioning that almost none of my reviews (including this one) are using review units, and I've never been sponsored. However this is one of the units that shipped out early because of the pre-order vouchers, so it's certainly possible they picked the best of the bunch for the pre-order purchasers. Still seems out of place for EGG. Have you contacted their customer support? Or heck, if you got it on Amazon it's pretty easy to just return and replace/get a refund
Got both Maya X and XM2W, and the XM2 feels better. However Maya X also is insaley good, I just prefer the XM2 shape. Getting better Latency + better Shape is worth it over lower weigth.
@@reecep4016 i have both mice and i can tell you the lamzu doesn't creak like an old barn door with slight pressure under the thumb buttons. the frost brick from EGG does and i am trying to sell it now for 50% off and no one i show the video with the creaking issue wants to buy it anymore. note, the EGG did that out of the box and is less than a week old. so no, lamzu is the opposite of dog water.
I'll put my two cents in: I have a white op1we and purple frost op1 8k, the coating on the frost feels dry-ish while the default coating feels wet (your fingers are more slippery on the latter) but the original shell should be way better in terms of QC (my purple frost came in with a ton of issues and since I had to pay $140 for the mouse and shipment to my country I feel so dissapointed but you might have a better luck and get a perfect copy of the mouse)
i asked chatgpt to help me chose between the 2 different coatings, and it linked me your video :D amazing!

Gekko Genji! Gotta love it! I haven't been able to put down the OP1 8k since I got it. Might have to pick one of these up as well

I love my Dark Frost version, sucks I had to warranty it due to major creaking and flexing issues. Seems to be an issue with all Frost colorways.
I’m hearing that a lot. Huge bummer. Hopefully they can iron that out in future batches but it could just be something with the translucent material.
What skates should I buy with this?
Skates are a very subjective thing. Really you can pick any that you like, the skates for the XM2we should fit fine on this one as well since a lot of companies haven’t made dedicated XM2w 4k skates yet.

For CS players, which one is better, Viper V3 Pro or XM2W4K
xm2
Xm2
Hi, are you able to change the switches like you can on the OP1?
@@yogatriathlete Unfortunately no. The switch packs are only for the OP1 mice.

Go with this mouse trust me hand comfort is more important if you play alot of fps
