Really great review. I like how you go about the your reviews and go into detail about shape and grips. I'm currently using the XM2we and I really enjoy it for my claw grip, but I really want something a bit smaller. I'm considering the OP1w but I'm afraid the it's going to be too thin and small. Maybe the Zowie U2 is a better option?
Thank you for the kind words 🙏 The U2 and the OP1 are pretty similar grip width wise at the front of the mouse, but the U2 has ALOT more shape to the sides than the OP1. The U2 is also fatter in the hips at the back, and more rounded in the hump compared to the OP1. I'd consider the U2 to be a specialised claw grip mouse (that you can palm too) and the OP1 to be a bit more of a jack of all trades mouse (that you cant palm). Hopefully that helps?
Your video was the last straw, Log. I just bought myself an OP1 8k after watching this video, special thanks to you for comparing with Atlantis and Sora v2. This mouse will arrive to me around March 18-20 and I am 100% sure that it will completely replace my Atlantis mini. Thank you for such a timely video, love you
🤣🤣 The Sora was the first version, but I hope it demonstrated how thin this mouse is. I'm excited for your mouse to arrive, let me know how you get on with it 😁
ENDGAMEGEAR has a lot of goated products at a much lower price tag with crazy quality! Their wooting clone is fantastic, and before I switched to glass I used to swear by their pads
ENDGAMEGEAR has been my favorite brand by far these last few years they made so many great products im glad they're still out there creating new things, i loved them since the first xm1 came out i think i used that mouse for like 3 years lmao
Yea I agree, I'm pretty new to the EGG hype train, but I'm very happy with the OP1 and I'm looking greedily at the XM2we currently 🤣 I'd love an XM1we, hope they release it soon!
xm2 we used to be my main, i really liek it but i prefer my za13c; i have medium/small ish hands and za13 just feels so good + i love the clicks @@Log_Pile
hey man, your videos are great - would you recommend this over the X2H Mini? I have small hands (17 x 10.5cm) and tend to claw grip but not aggressively.
Thanks bro 🙏 Honestly I would recommend the OP1 (either the 8k or we) over the x2h, the OP1 is widely regarded as a brilliant mouse, and the x2h is a little less safe. I was using my OP1we this evening actually (testing the plastix skates) and it was beautiful
@@Log_Pile top man, thanks for the quick reply. I'll try the wireless version can't cope with a wire (major 1st world problem haha). Nice to see a fellow brit doing these kind of reviews and you cut through the bullshit which is really refreshing - keep it up!
@HealthTruthMovement Hahaha thanks man, I appreciate the kind words. and I honestly cant deal with a wire these days either! especially if i have the option to choose. I have a really cool wired mouse on the way, I hope the wire doesnt ruin it for me 😅
"I can hold in it quite a few different ways. I won't go through all of them in great detail" - Why? That's exactly the information that mouse enthusiasts are looking for when watching reviews and considering that's generally one of the vague parts of selecting a new mouse to add to your collection, having that information available would be incredibly useful! It would also help diversify your channel from those not willing to provide that information.
Great video as always, do you have any opinions on the xm2we? I currenty have the Atlantis 4k and im torn between buying the np-01s or the xm2we (i play claw with my left two knuckles touching the hump)
Hey Jack, I'm actually resisting the urge to buy the xm2we right now 🤣 it looks similar to the atlantis but I havent experienced it myself, yet. What is your hand size?
@@Log_Pile my hand size is 19x10. Me too its been in my basket for a couple days now. I love the atlantis but im looking for a more sharp hump and a little bit more of a comfort grove on the outside of the mouse. Been looking at np-01/s, xm2we, and sora 4k/v2 (i think v2 might be too light as i play mainly tac fps)
@jackmmmmmmm My recommendation would be to go for the NP01, I'm not sure what you mean by a sharp hump?? you mean at the top in terms of height or profile? Judging by your hand size (width) the np01s will be too small for that grip, the NP01 is a banger (my favourite mouse ever) and seems to answer the issue you have with the atlantis. BUT, I haven't used the xm2we so it may also be epic.
@@Log_Pile im not sure why i chose to word it as sharp hump xd, but i mean i like it when the hump is towards the back and has a higher profile and isnt as flat as the atlantis, id like it to taper a bit more off to the sides. Ive been thinking about the np-01 a lot but currently its sold out they say restock is on 15th. But im really looking for that higher hump at the back of the mouse which is drawing me more towards the xm2 and the sora's
Highly agree with you, with the OP1 8K I can definitely agree it is a high quality mice with a budget price, and everything about it is just perfect, I´d just didn´t want to pick the WE because of the heavy clicks, so I am having the one on the cable, but it´s fine, I barely notice the cable is there
Hey man can we have time stamps in future videos? I know it takes time but it’s so nice being able to flick straight to the part I’m most interested in
the op1 8k edition is the fastest mouse on the market by far, best latency, insane coating, 50g weight, hotswap switches, if you have a mouse bungee it's the best mouse on the market 100% especially for the $75 price.
Don’t stress by editing out what you consider “bullocks” when people what a mouse review they want to hear as much as they can to help them make an informed decision.
Im aware you did that but im saying it was all unnecessary, the review would have felt just as if not more genuine without you taking it out and then putting at the end. Im not trying to be critical. Awesome review as always just some advice my friend ☺️
Hello I have a bit of an off topic question, I wanna buy a new mousepad but im completely lost on where and what to research I've been using an artisan hien in soft for a couple years atp and I would like something : just a tad bit slower then the hien firmer than the artisan soft pads with a less abrasive texture compared to the hien as my arm (not sweaty, baby smooth skin if that matters) gets stuck very often with it around the same size as the Hien large (42cm by 33cm I think) (Optional) Available in black Budget is unlimited, what would you recommend for me to buy?
Hey 😊 I'd recommend checking out the subreddit r/mousepadreview . you could ask your question and I'm sire someone would be able to help you. I havent used a hien myself. I'm sorry I can't give you a better answer!!
@@Log_PileYeah man! I am maining the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro rn as my daily for work/rpggaming but am trying to get a light weight mouse for pure fps games. Basilisk went for like 300 cad with the dock and even with a discount so now I am broke looking for a budget fps mouse lol.

I appreciate the feedback Steven 🙏
100% agreed about the click on a hard pad it feels kinda strange thats mostly why i use ZA13c still , i love the clicks even on glass
Za13 has such a hard-core fan base, I'd love to see a wireless version one day

Hey man can we have time stamps in future videos? I know it takes time but it’s so nice being able to flick straight to the part I’m most interested in
Hey Reece, yes of course,I think this is the only video I havent time stamped recently! Apologies and thanks for asking
Love this mouse! Its always been a little narrow for me but I’m going to keep brute forcing it until i can use it 😤
It's definitely narrow! if a mouse is narrow, I typically fingertip, or make as much contact with it as possible with my hand 🤣 theres no inbetween
the op1 8k edition is the fastest mouse on the market by far, best latency, insane coating, 50g weight, hotswap switches, if you have a mouse bungee it's the best mouse on the market 100% especially for the $75 price.
I think of a mouse, log pile releases a video on it. How does he know 😮
🤔 we are like minded people brother 😁
Don’t stress by editing out what you consider “bullocks” when people what a mouse review they want to hear as much as they can to help them make an informed decision.
Hey Anberlin, I put the "bollocks" at the end of the video 😂 O wasn't very clear in my editing, hope you're well brother

Hello I have a bit of an off topic question, I wanna buy a new mousepad but im completely lost on where and what to research
I've been using an artisan hien in soft for a couple years atp and I would like something :
just a tad bit slower then the hien
firmer than the artisan soft pads
with a less abrasive texture compared to the hien as my arm (not sweaty, baby smooth skin if that matters) gets stuck very often with it
around the same size as the Hien large (42cm by 33cm I think)
(Optional) Available in black
Budget is unlimited, what would you recommend for me to buy?
Hey 😊 I'd recommend checking out the subreddit r/mousepadreview . you could ask your question and I'm sire someone would be able to help you. I havent used a hien myself. I'm sorry I can't give you a better answer!!
Hayate Otsu fits all the criteria, I use it myself, I’ve never seen anything better on my desk, and it can be black
@@Log_Pile thank you !!!
The 8K seems quite good except its wired and i will never go back to a wired mouse.
My thoughts exactly 🤣
You could be related to michael bisping. lol
@ThePlantedTankTV Not heard that comparison before 🤣 I look like a lot of people apparently haha I love your channel BTW. Thanks for stopping by dude
@@Log_Pile aww thanks man I appreciate that!! 💚 keep doing your thing!!! Watched a few of your videos now! 😅🙏
115 cad for me :(
That sucks dude, Canadian gamers have it rough for buying peripherals 🫣

nah the best mouse under 100 dollars is vxe r1 pro
I've heard a lot of good things about that mouse, but haven't tried it myself 👀
razor deathadder is still the king of shape, not this mouse
It's ok to have an opinion 😁 I've heard good things about the deathadder.
