My mouse collection. May add my actual daily driver setup eventually.

[feral lily]

This is sick

[buoyant mantle]

its a waste of money lol my wife hates it

[feral lily]

Is that the pulsar xm2we?

[buoyant mantle]

yes

End Game Gear xm2we*

this will also be outdated next week. I have a WLMouse SwordX in transit

[quaint scroll]

wtf this is an army, not a collection

you should rename yourself to the pied piper

how do you even begin to collect all those lol. Impressive

[buoyant mantle]

buying them at release usually lol and disposable income

that second one helps alot

[quaint scroll]

yeah i guess you really like having different mice

just curious, do you have Zy's rail by Xtrify? I always wondered how that mouse felt

namely because Zy seemed to have a very dead-set love for a specific shape but it really didn't feel great to me

[buoyant mantle]

no actually... xtrify is actually a brand as a whole I havent tried. They just dont seem to be up there in quality to me

[quaint scroll]

visually

oh

[buoyant mantle]

they seem to rely on gimmicks to sell more than actually making good mice

[quaint scroll]

well that makes sense, I was just wondering about that particular model, I'm a bit reluctant to go for that kind of shape that goes like... downwards?

[buoyant mantle]

legitimatly the only mice I would steer people away from in that pic are the glorious ones... and the fingertip "mouse"

and xtrify doesnt seem to meet that bar from what I have seen of them

[quaint scroll]

thank you! someone who isn't a sucker for model o

oh what I had to go through back in at the time

[buoyant mantle]

the reason the model o wireless isnt here is becasue I went thru 3 rma units before they refunded me and told me my "standards were too high" lol

[quaint scroll]

what the actual... lmao

anothe brand goes to the list

what happened, you expected a mouse taht would work for 6 MONTHS?! STRAIGHT!?!?!?

[wanton nova]

No 502x?

[buoyant mantle]

no. I have no real use for another mouse above 100grams

let alone the 2 that are there

[wanton nova]

Ah, so you are a super light type of guy?

Yes, but not the newer x models

[buoyant mantle]

like I said, there just isnt anything about it that appeals to me. I usually use the Beast X Max or the GPX2. Those combined weight the same as the 502x

[wanton nova]

👍

[little urchin]

What's the mouse that's just the guts in the bottom right?

[buoyant mantle]

that used to be a viper v2 pro, but has been converted into optimum techs fintertip mouse

you basically only hold it with your fingertips and cut away as much weight as possible but its a PITA to use

It weights 29 grams

[wanton nova]

Lol. Hope your HVAC unit doesn't blow it off your desk

[quasi rivet]

bottom row 4th from the left lamzu maya?

[buoyant mantle]

lamzu thorn

[quasi rivet]

dope

[ivory oxide]

What would a good upgrade from g502 hero be?

[buoyant mantle]

only thing that comes to mind would be the 502X. all but 2 mice in that pic have zero in common with the 502 hero

I dont really use mice that heavy with that many buttons

[ivory oxide]

Ok, i was just wondering because you looked like an expert

[buoyant mantle]

well the issue is the 502 is kind of an outlier in the current market. its its own thing. nothing really like it except the updated one and razers copy of it

[ivory oxide]

Yeah, but i kinda meant like something that would be good for someone who uses a g502 hero

[buoyant mantle]

yea, there is nothing like the 502 hero on the market other than the new 502X. no one is making mice with that many buttons other than that

literally everything popular is lightweight wireless mice with only 5 buttons and a scroll wheel

[undone cloak]

Wow so many!

[topaz olive]

covering a mousepad is wild

[idle portal]

Bro can’t find his perfect mouse

[elder iris]

ooo myyy

you got the collection

[night ridge]

YOU GOT ZEROMOUSE????? I WAS TRYNA BUY IT BUT ITS ALWAYS OFF SALE

[buoyant mantle]

hes been doing limited releases. This is the older one, I think the plan is to keep them in stock for a bit after all he has it the way he wants it

[night ridge]

yep, but even when he releases a bunch of them i still can't find one, next time he releases im sniping 2 for me and... for me

im even thinking about doing it myself

but im not experienced

not do i got a 3d printer

[buoyant mantle]

lots of people have, the issue is having access to the right printer to make it and have it not be terrible

[night ridge]

yeah and the material of it too

[buoyant mantle]

there are services out there that can be hired out, but its certainly more expensive than if you have a printer already

[night ridge]

wait i didnt count the mice because zero mouse caught my eye, how many u got?

[buoyant mantle]

30 in my possesion now, 2 more showed up after this pic, but ive given some older gpx1s away to friends

[night ridge]

thats so nice of u

im thinking of buying finalmouse UX when i get my next pay check but i might stick with my gpx2s

[buoyant mantle]

good luck. only way to get a ulx right now is thru ebay or stock X, or some other reseller

[night ridge]

i sometimes like to handicap myself and play on a very old office mouse sometimes

when im playing againts my you ger sibling

[night ridge]

i got a friend who i can buy it from

[buoyant mantle]

personally, I think the WLMouse stuff is more worth the money than the ULX

[night ridge]

it was an i quote "way too light man"

[night ridge]

well you'd know because you got 30 mice

i only got gpx2s and g502 X cuz they're the "best" ones

never tried any other brand other than logitech

for mice at least

[buoyant mantle]

I still prefer the gpx 2 over everything but its a shpae thing for me

I have one of my gpx2 modded down to like 50grams tho

[night ridge]

my main mouse gpx2 as well

but i like the feel of the g502x more

maybe im just old

[buoyant mantle]

my 502X (which is a recent addition) is basically for stuff like diablo 4

still super solid, just not what I want when playing fps games

[night ridge]

it just feels better as far as my knowledge goes

i havent done fps in it tho

on it*

it was a nice chit chat, see you later my friend

if you got a good comfortable mouse recommendations please dm me thank you

[lyric sigil]

Give me...

[kindred grove]

How does that feel comfortability wise?

Kinda looks painful. optimum did say it was comfortable for the games he played which I do t believe

[buoyant mantle]

It's terrible for me but the spacing and layout is all wro g for my grip so it just doesn't fit. I'm sure it's amazing if your grip fits with it tho

[kindred grove]

It’s a hit or miss. Would be great if you were able to try it before buying (it’s impossible to do that)

[buoyant mantle]

It's a 3d printed frame so I could probably find one or make one that fits better but it's not my grip style so it's not worth experimenting with. I knew it was just going to be a fun experiment to try when I got it.

Viper v2 that was ripped apart wasn't doing anything anyway

[kindred grove]

Only makes sense if you have an extra v2 lying around

And it seems that you did lol

[buoyant mantle]

It wasn't extra, I just hate the shape and coating it had so it was just sitting in storage. At least this gave it something more interesting to do

[kindred grove]

What mouse do you recommend me? I’m with the gpx sl but the 1st edition

One of the guys that I was talking to recommended the beast x mini from wlmouse

Looks amazing and it’s 34g

[buoyant mantle]

Sure but if it's too small for your grip, doesn't matter how light it is if it's uncomfortable to use

[kindred grove]

You tried it before?

I just don’t know how to find a mouse when the best ones aren’t in stores to test

[buoyant mantle]

I have the max, and a ulx medium. The medium ulx is small enough to tell me that anything smaller would be unusable to me

[kindred grove]

It looks like I can crush it..

[buoyant mantle]

The max is the same design, I'm familiar with it. It's not plastic...

[kindred grove]

That one is just called the beast x, no mini or xl is that what you were talking about medium?

[buoyant mantle]

Yes that's the medium. I have the finalmouse ulx medium, not the beast x one but they are the same shape and have the same sizes.

[kindred grove]

Is the medium comfortable for u

[buoyant mantle]

It's a little small and gets uncomfortable after a while but for the most part it's fine.

[kindred grove]

What’s your main mouse and is the all time favourite

[buoyant mantle]

Superlight 2 is my main just because the shape is better for me than anything else I've used. My favorite is the red superlight 1. If they ever released a gpx2 in red, I'll buy it day 1

Only mice I've tried that come close are the viper v3 pro and zowie u2

[kindred grove]

I saw some guy paint the 2 in that nice red Color.

Gotta figure out a way to get that nice texture coat back after that though

[buoyant mantle]

Paint adds weight too

[kindred grove]

I guess powder coating would be the least weight method to paint one then

That’s costly ass

[buoyant mantle]

Not sure a plastic mouse would keep it's shape too well being powder coated.

Start to melt

If you could even get it to stick

[kindred grove]

Plastic holds up to powder coating well. Just gotta find the perfect temperature

[kindred grove]

Sticks to all plastic

It’s not just for metal

[buoyant mantle]

Right but it still needs baked and a thin walled plastic mouse may not hold up so great

[kindred grove]

If you have a metal mold that the plastic can sit on top off making sure it can’t sag could be a possibility

But no point for one dam mouse

[buoyant mantle]

Sounds like a lot of expense and hassle

[kindred grove]

Fr

[clever yarrow]

you cant

its solid

i have the mini

feels much better than a gpx 2 in terms of quality

(and its a much better mouse)

[buoyant mantle]

well... I did have to take mine apart to replace the padding that was falling off and making the clicks stick so I dont know about all that.... but it is good

[clever yarrow]

mine doesnt have qc issues

[buoyant mantle]

it all annecdotal and luck of the draw. none of the superlights I have had really had any issues. Beast X had that padding fall off. Sword X has been fine

one off claims of something being good or bad are mostly useless

unlless it gets to the situation of the viper v3 pro where every sensor had tracking issues and needed a firmware update to fix

[clever yarrow]

get a ulx if youre afraid of qc issues

logitech just sucks

used to be good

but now

...

[buoyant mantle]

I have 2. both have issues

[clever yarrow]

lol

rip

[buoyant mantle]

one even went back to FM for repair and came back with the same problem

[clever yarrow]

is it bad qc issues?

[clever yarrow]

wow

[buoyant mantle]

the only worse QC ive had with a mouse were gen 1 Pulsar X2s that had the Khail 8.0 switches that were prone to double clicking. went thru like 3 of them I think

so my advice is to avoid Final-meme at all costs

[clever yarrow]

6 mice and the only issues i had is a cooked vv2p pcb

cant use my zeromouse on anything softer than a glass pad

[buoyant mantle]

I saw boardzy just had his viper v3pro have the wireless die on him so razer may be in the midst of a nose-dive

[clever yarrow]

wasnt that the pokemon vv3p he got from aliexpress?

[buoyant mantle]

that was a death adder he imported from china that had creaking. in one of his newer vids he said he can only use the VV3P wired now

[clever yarrow]

oh yea

im trippin

lol

[buoyant mantle]

I dont use mine enough for it to die lol shape isnt all that great for me

[clever yarrow]

the beast x mini's shape is pretty much perfect

for me

[buoyant mantle]

see thats the superlight for me. beast X max is the right size, but its too flat and gets uncomfortable after a while

I got the Max after I got the ULX large and found out I should have not gotten the ULX medium lol not a cheap mistake

[clever yarrow]

rip

[buoyant mantle]

I could probably sell them if I want but I like having them around to compare other things to

[clever yarrow]

do you main that hien?

[buoyant mantle]

thats not a hien. thats a LGG saturn Pro

[clever yarrow]

oh 💀

bro

theres the logo

under the zeromouse

trippin badly

[buoyant mantle]

yep. I have a hien, its a darker red but the texture bugs me

[clever yarrow]

texture looks like a hien tho

[clever yarrow]

i have a raiden

[buoyant mantle]

I have a couple zeros in different softnesses and I like those too.

saturn pro and zero are my go tos

[clever yarrow]

i simply cant use slow pads

raiden feels kinda slow too

or like

i feel like i wanna get smth thats even faster

[buoyant mantle]

yea, thats why they make so many different kinds tho. lots of different preferances out there

[clever yarrow]

the better your mouse control is the faster you should go

not always the case tho

[buoyant mantle]

people are going to buy what they prefer and thats how ill keep buying mine

[clever yarrow]

yea

i shouldve said "can" instead of "should"

sorry

[buoyant mantle]

all good

im probably past the age of going fast anyway lol

[kindred grove]

I have a gpx 1.. lol

[clever yarrow]

Youve got the same mouse basically

[buoyant mantle]

Same build and shape. Only changes were under the hood to bring paper specs to current standards.

[night ridge]

ultra light

[buoyant mantle]

there are 2 of them. they both suck

[night ridge]

dont look comfy

[hushed lodge]

sheeeesh impressive

[ivory dove]

whats your opinion on the orbital works pathfinder

[buoyant mantle]

it needs to actually release first. sending carefully handled prototypes to youtubers is one thing... mass producing them is something totally different. Its a cool idea, but kickstarter is full of failed good ideas

[ivory dove]

i think the look of it is pretty cool and the sensors good im hoping it does release

[buoyant mantle]

I dont doubt if it will release, but the shells were 3d printed in all the vidoes and thats not what they are selling. so there is a lot of room for things to go wrong there. The sensor is good, but they are only advertising a 3395 with a 3950 to be used if its available so they arent guaranteeing the newest one. I understand why its $190 for all the stuff you get, but thats still a high price to also not get the best sensor on the market

[ivory dove]

yeah i fully agree the sensor thing is iffy but thankfully its still solid, the whole 3d printed stuff is abit rubbish for reviews but im just happy theres another ambidextrous mouse on the market

[buoyant mantle]

ambi mice are a dime a dozen anymore, I think this is more for if you want to experiment and havent quite found something that feels right yet

[ivory dove]

ive used alot of steelseries mouses and the logitech mouses and out of the ones ive used i main a 903 and a rival 600 atm

and i still dont think they are it so hopefully there will be some solid reviews and i might pick it up

[buoyant mantle]

there are 7 or 8 other ambi mice just in my collection alone that are nothing like the shapes steelseries and Logi offer so there certainly isnt a lack of options. if this thing was just releasing as another ambi mouse , I dont think it would stand a chance. it needs that swappable piece gimmick to get attention in the current market

and there are a bunch of ambi shapes out there that I dont have

[ivory dove]

i feel like some of the ambi mouses are pretty heavy with my experience using some but with that i havent had much choices at what others are on the market

[buoyant mantle]

yea I think thts down to what youve tried. These days, if an ambi mouse releases above 60-70 grams people lose their minds. Steelseries and Corsair (and a few logi mice other than the pro line) are really the only ones making those kind of mice at those weights anymore

[ivory dove]

yeah definitely ive used some light mices and enjoyed but they gotta have the holes in them and it throws me off a lil tbh kinda sucks

[buoyant mantle]

pulsar, lamzu, vaxee, zowie, razer, and logitech all have ambi mice 60 grams or less with no holes, I think G Wolves even has one now

[ivory dove]

yeah ive been eyeing up the lamzu and pulsar boys they do looks really nice

damm i was just about to mention gwolves

[buoyant mantle]

Id suggest lamzu over pulsar personally... pulsar still seems spotty with QC

[ivory dove]

damm really

do u have both ?

and if you do which do u prefer

[buoyant mantle]

I have multiple pulsar mice and a lamzu thorn. the thorn has been better

[ivory dove]

the lamzu mice are really clean no rgb and little branding thats another good plus imo

[buoyant mantle]

none of the lightweight stuff has rgb anymore lol

[ivory dove]

damm okay the thorn is nice to be fair is it comfy on palm grip

[buoyant mantle]

if your hand size works for that grip with it ye aitll be good for palm, I use claw tho even on ergo mice

[ivory dove]

how did u find the software

[buoyant mantle]

for lamzu?

[ivory dove]

yes

[buoyant mantle]

they have a download tab on their website but it looks like theyve changed it a bit since I downloaded it

[ivory dove]

ah okay really appreciate your knowledge on this btw

[grizzled orbit]

the amount of superlights is crazy

[buoyant mantle]

2 or them are gpx1s and 2 of them are gpx2 so not technically the same but close enough

[worldly zodiac]

my soul feels fear.

[vague sable]

Crazy
