WLmouse released the Beast X gaming mouse, a direct competitor to the likes of the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition and the Finalmouse Starlight. But how does it stack up for half the price??? Let's find out.

Addressing the feedback - Yes this is seemingly more of a Finalmouse clone instead of the RVMSE. I do not have a Finalmouse unit and my first reaction to seeing this back in July was a Razer copy. All the Reddit threads seem to confirm that as well, but I guess I missed the mark. However, as you can see by their comparison at the 2:59 mark it's a very very very similar mouse, hence my initial thought to compare them in this video. For the people claiming I'm picking "small issues just to see this fail," that makes no sense because I said multiple times in this video that for this price, it's still a good option. Just proves people comment before watching the video. Also, I do not think wildly loose side buttons and metallic clinking during use are "small" issues because it shows there are internal problems with the mouse that I wanted to bring up because it was annoying - this is a review of my experience. For those claiming my cutouts complaint is BS, okay? It doesn't feel pleasant in the hand and the grooves are noticeably leaving pressure marks against my hand vs the Viper Mini SE - which is why I commented on the machining. Again, this is a review of my experience.
Agreed
Yes, going by the reviews this is indeed closer to the Finalmouse Starlight Medium than Razer Viper Mini. I am going to give QC a pass here since it's not overly a deal breaker for most people,at the price they're paying for it. For 140 USD what you're getting here is seriously great value: a bundled 4k reciever, 4 sets of skates(2 sets of glass btw), included grip tape...That's all you would ever need for a mouse. As far as the side cutouts go, that's nothing some grip tape can't fix. As for the rattle, people have been fixing it with 1-2 layers of teflon tape applied to the underside of the clicks. They should fix it soon enough. This weighs the same as G-Wolves HTX, is made of magnesium and costs 30 bucks less. Absolute steal.
@@kunalshrivastava6398 Seems to be more of a Hybrid between Final mouse and the Razer Mini. I really dont know why people are leaning towards only one of the two
honestly i think the bulky receiver is an innovative play - most that are buying this kind of mouse are very much involved in the tech community and so most would care about their desk aesthetics and design it can very much be considered a desk ornament/decoration compared to the generic dongle look of other mice - am a big fan
It probably adds $60 to the overall price. Would rather just have the mouse and the typical dongle.
Definitely looks awesome imo and a selling point.
@@TheBrandonAFalso dealbreaker
i think a good way to fix the metal on metal sound is add a very thin layer of cloth or a soft material in between the contact points and it should fix the noise problem
If it's the same as storm break they use a little piece of neoprene even simple tape would take it away.
yay mouse tape mod
I don't think the mouse noise is much of an issue. Most people play with a headset and simply won't hear it. Now that reciever is another thing. That power port is a in a bad location. I'd have to buy a 90deg wire. At thate price it becomes an interesting option.
just unsub from this trash channel this was just a trash review nothing of value here
the razer riding in this video is wild lmao
His complaints are mind numbingly dumb. I've seen a ton of objective and technical tests, even have the mouse myself lol.... Oof this guy
Is the mouse worth it? I was thinking of getting one myself @@watchulookinat23
I like that they didn’t put any skates on & let you decide so you’re not wasting a perfectly good set ripping them off.
Facts
Am i to understand your inner tiger doesn't sniff THE rose? (I'm legit in tears laughing. Thanks Frank)
Would it be possible to get the desktop wallpaper you had in your video of Linus reviewing your mouse? I tried to find it but had no luck.
Hello sir and thanks for the review. I'm using razer deathadder V3 Pro but top side and length is feels big for me lately. My hand size 185x105mm and using palm and relaxed claw grip. Is it worth to get this over? Thanks in advance.
Just got one myself this morning. The quality on mine felt amazing, no wobbling on any of the buttons. But I did have the problem where placing it down would make a metallic sound, so that might be a common problem.
How's eloshapes v2 doing?
@@liamobrien9451 going well, thanks for asking! I've not had a ton of time to work on it the past couple weeks due to exams and my jobs. Last exam is in early December, so I'll start working a lot more on EloShapes 2.0 once I'm that is over :)
i think the metallic clink sound is because the R/L mouse buttons are a single piece of metal that is screwed into the shell. So when you place the mouse down, they bounce and hit the top of the mag shell. They could mitigate it by putting a very very thin layer of plastic on the shell to dampen the sound.
did u test our the sora 4k or the Lamzu mini? if so how do they clicks compare to them?
@@hayves for EloShapes 2.0, this is something I want to add in the future but It would require a ton of work and research for all the mice, so I cannot promise anything right now.
Not using the new ice key caps?
before gaming mouse is about how heavy they are, so you can add additional weight on to them if you like a more heavy feel, now gaming mice are getting thinner and lighter
Is the wl beast x ir the ukx better
they also have an exclusive colour for Taobao that says the tiger sniffing quote on the mouse 1 lmao if I didn't have a Starlight-12 already I'd probably cop one of these
The shell design is similar to the razer viper mini signature, but the overall shape is most similar to a starlight 12 medium or ulx lion.
Wow! I wasn't expecting a Beast X review by Randomfrankp! This is great!
Have you reviewed pwnage's mouse? They have one just like this
can you make a video about some of the beyerdynamic headphones?
I want to buy it but the website won’t open :(
thinking about picking up the purple edition. Sucker does look pretty slick.
I cancel my
@@rasenganshimada208 They taking too long?
Please someone help me I just got mine today and tried to update and the receiver turned off and won't turn on
great video but i definitely feel all the comparisons you made towards razer are definitely more applicable towards finalmouse. it’s the exact same shape as the finalmouse, not the razer, it competes in weight with the ulx, unusual material composition, etc.
One very friendly design they made is that although it use 5-pin optical switches but they left the 3-pin mechanical switch solder points on the PCB if we want to replace it
the problem is you are calling it a clone when its not, thats false and you should correct.
I just want a damn viper mini wireless why is it so hard to just get a perfect proper viper mini wireless
I wonder if any the issues he mentions have been fixed since this video.
For the minor issues you mentioned regarding the Beast X, I would still prefer it over the Viper Mini SigEd. I've been using the Viper Ultimate (OG) for years and I love it and I was looking forward to get a mini wireless version, except the Synapse software will still manage to ruin the experience. There's not much to complain about with either mouse, except for the high price tag of the latter.
When it popped and he just whispered "jesus" had me rolling lol
title: "Viper Mini SE clone" actual shape: different lol
pwnage stormbreaker review?
what would be really interesting, is designing a custom made 3d printed inner palm pad/grip that can click/snap into the holes in the back of the mouse for a custom fit
Bro i was watching the sound test and bumped up the volume and when it finished, i got blasted by an uber ad. Mouse looks cool tho. Nice vid
10:04 Like you said, it's also half the price.
Looks like someone didn't get the Finalmouse ULX...
Not Frank reviewing the WL Mouse 😭
I’ve been using dareu a950pro magnesium for a month and thankfully it doesn’t have such annoying noises. Really solidly build and the coating is nice to the touch and grippy. Oh and Keychron coming out with their M3 Mini metal (magnesium alloy version), available to order from Nov 14. It’s heavier at 64g but really cheap at $99 for a magnesium alloy mouse
54g* I'm liking mine but I prefer my m800 Ultra for sure. I'm hoping my Beast X is solid!
@@M2habibiit’s definitely 64g my friend
Great stuff Franky P
Why would you compare it to a mouse made by a billion dollar company that’s 2x the price and you can’t even buy instead of something already on the market? Seems like you wanted to see it lose
Because why not
Because it’s the obvious competitor. They almost look the exact same
@@dwayithit’s not tho… it’s literally a final mouse SL-12 clone. Not even remotely the same shape as viper mini SE.
@@richboii6597 by “looks the exact same” hes talking about the cutouts they look fairly similar
@@richboii6597nah it’s a razer viper mini clone you can see the exact same shape and framework lol
You must've read my mind cuz I was literally looking at this mouse yesterday
Am I the only one that noticed the back of it looks like a bottle cap opener?
Nice, use it to open your beer when gaming.
when comparing these two i think you also forget that the razer sig ed. is also limited stock and aftermarket pricing of the mouse is absolutely absurd. people are selling that mouse for $400, the wlmouse beast x is $140... ill take the wlmouse, its lighter, CONSIDERABLY CHEAPER, and pretty much does the same exact things that the razer mouse does
Comparing a 139$ mouse to a 279$ mouse on nitpicking seems abit ehh, like i get it the razer has a smoother finnish around the edges (beastX comes with griptape so?), arguably better specs with optical switches ect (shit you cant notice) but at the end of the day i have been wanting a razer viper mini wireless for ages since its hands down my favorite shape ever but i cant stand using a cord anymore and no wireless mouse has quite hit the spot for me (i have used alot).. but im not paying that much for a mouse, no way in hell.. ordered my beast X and lowkey excited for it to arrive
Let us know how it is please 🙏
@@ryanknight4952by far my top mouse now with the griptapes on, used ALOT of mice and this is by far my favorite that can get the closest to a lightweight viper mini shape, not the exact same shape but close enough
The Tiger sniff the rose! My god!
with solid sides I actually would consider this.
can we just appreciate the quality of franks videos, he even does an audio transition to get us used to the audio difference coming from the silence great vid also.
m8 ordered a while ago ,and he still not received .....
Nice design!
The shape is exactly like the Starlight 12. Same dimensions so you should’ve made a comparison to that
frank i watched the whatnot stream. you gotta sell some beard hairs soon. they are in high demand.
Idk what to get g pro x superlight 2 or Wlmouse Edit: I got the Vxe Dragonfly R1 se 2000hz for $40
beastx hands down, its understated here just how good this is
I have a sl2 and will be getting the beast x in a week or so. But based on weight alone, I'd go with beast x or if you have the $, the finalmouse ultralight x.
@@OGSuperDirty my dad won’t let me get the ULX
@@doj1ma513and he saved you a ton of peace in your life. Using beastX and ULX and my ULX has qc issues with really bad flex and scroll wheel
Do you still need a account for razer products? It's a no-go for me
Mrbeast had been real quiet lately ever since this dropped off
LMAO "no?" never laughed so hard at a rfp clip
ok I really want to buy this mouse now
A great name would been razer viper skeleton with looks like that
The closest i have gotten to a wireless viper mini other than the Viper Mini SE. Is the Iron Cat Mini Pro on Mech Keys. 3395 sensor, decent feet, type c charger. But weighs 72grams. It is one of my favorite and worth the checkout. $80. Not including shipping.
Next on my list is the Monka G995W
too heavy. just get a glorious model one pro or something like the lamzu maya
@@Evan-xs8ts 72 grams isn't at all. Lol What?
@TheRedMarauder it is for a mouse that small. The viper mini is 58g. 60g or less is better.
@Evan-xs8ts but in reality it's not that heavy for a mouse and you are comparing a magnesium and composite material mouse that has odd shaped holes cut out of it and is $300 USD. One of the best out there compared to the original viper mini shell and shape is that mouse. But the comparison doesn't make sense since it's literally a different material and specialty mouse with the one you brought up, and you are choosing a different shape than a viper mini shape originally for your first point and comparison is all I'm saying my G. Lol
frank, this is a finalmouse starlight medium shape clone
obviously its a finalmouse clone but its razer that paid him lmao
the mini is coming out very soon so I would wait for that
excited for this one! ordered mine on white already!
Whats the game at 6:45?
looks like a battlefield game
Unfortunately that is BF 2042. You’ve been warned 😏
Razer: wait for our drops please. Other Mice Manufacturers: nope
waited years for a damn Viper mini wireless and they release a fucking 300 dollars mouse.. ye fuck off razer 🖕not waiting another 5 years for a reasonable priced viper mini wireless 😂
I hate drops so fucking much
My Beast X's build quality is excellent. All the QC issues you are facing are non-existent in my copy. This mouse is meant to be held fingertip style. How hard are you holding on to the mouse??
I wouldn’t mind a plastic version of this mouse if I could get it for $50 lol
Would snap
you have to be the only person to compare it to the vmse and not Finalmouse
This seemed more of a razer ad thank a mouse review
Lighter, half the price, and still grates cheese!
Dude literally nitpicked the smallest things and wrote the mouse off lol.
Nitpicked the "smallest" things? Loose side buttons, metal clinking during use, rough cutouts? Sit this one out.
@@OGSuperDirtyspot on, this guy has been down the drain for quite some time now. Talking about irrelevant points and issues, doing comparisons that doesn't make sense and nobody asked for. I still remember his disastrous viper v2 review in which he said it should be called the v2x(their budget lineup) and it would not sell at all lmao. Every comment that pointed out that the review was whack, he went ahead and replied to them with childish insults. Can't believe this guy is a grown ass man.
@@OGSuperDirtywait what’s the big flaw that he missed?
While I think the dongle is definitely too big and makes no sense to have the wire coming out of the top, having the battery life display on it is brilliant. Hell even if it was just 4 LED lights and it displayed the battery via that like a battery bank is how they all should be by now.
the mr beast mouse goes crazy
I really don’t see a problem with the mouse besides the flex even though that won’t affect me. I think it’s better than the razer not just because of the price but the weight too.
for that price, if you accept the creakiness and other noises it shouldn't make, you are naive...
@@Ernesto-ir8ds the “problems” it has don’t affect me. It’s the cheapest lightweight mouse so I think it’s worth.
@@user-te8mf5te8b bro I had a 30 dollar mouse that didn't creak or make any other unwanted noises... a 100+ mouse that creaks and clacks is simply trash...
As someone that own one the flex is a problem and the metal sounds when shaking I think is only on some. There is some wobble on the side buttons. The complains about the loud mouse get suppressed by my headphones so that not a problem.
Also the flex is only on the bottom and some of the size near the palming section for me
The “Jesus” in the sound test sent me 😂
Let's be real here. Razer's software is the most invasive, annoying and often buggy POS mouse software out there. That said, the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition is impossible to purchase MSRP. Personally, I'm skipping on both of the mice because they're both too small, I prefer a GPX sized mouse. The Finalmouse ULX Tiger (large) is the next mouse I'm going to buy or I should say try. I get them in my cart all the time, it's the checking out. 🥵
I agree. I did the same. The finalmouse ULX large is still in stock.
@@Madhawk1995 .. Yeah I ordered mine, the large, last night easily. Surprised the hell out of me. However, it's about the same size as a GPX so we'll see.
medium is closer to GPX size large is closer to deathadder v3 pro I have both so I'll keep whatever feels more comfortable@@DJaquithFL
@@Madhawk1995 .. No, both the Finalmouse Starlight-12 (medium) and Finalmouse ULX Lion (medium) are the same size as each other 121x57x37, but smaller than the GPX Superlight 125x64x40 Even the Finalmouse Tiger (Large) is smaller 126x59x38 than the GPX Superlight especially -work accounts- (especially where it counts) .. the width and the rear hump going into your palm -or- are smaller on the Finalmouse. I ordered mine last night and while I'm hoping it will work, I'm not completely overwhelmingly confident that it'll be an acceptable size for my palm grip. Prior to this ULX I also have the Poseidon -and- (in) medium. Poseidon is just too small. (Speech to text errors)
@@Madhawk1995 .. What you might want to do is to check out 'eloshapes' it'll at least give you the top and left side outlines to compare.
I need a new mouse to replace my red dragon that they no longer make. Who is the go to for cheap gaming mouse these days?
Something like a VGN Dragonfly or Ajazz AJ199 would be the cheapest decent mice you can get
Aj199 or aj139 pro, depends on your hand size
I have had the Redragon M601-3 CENTROPHORUS for year but it’s definitely on its way out
aj199 and 139 are simply overhyped get vgn dragonfly or m800 ultra
He's such a baby now. That's the youtube privilege for you. "IT'S toO LoUd"
It's true, your mom does call me baby.
@@randomfrankp no way you seen this 😅 I take it back!
Nice
It’s not a viper mini SE competitor. You spend the whole video comparing them and somehow never realize that they’re not the same shape. It’s a final mouse SL-12/ULX clone. Kind of blows my mind that a reviewer who owns all of these mice couldn’t figure that out. It’s legit like a .9999:1 clone
Cool video but I’m still going with the razor viper mini SE I need a light mouse but not like too light you know, that’s my preference
it looks cool
This is the kind of content that goes viral.
i'm surprised the lamzu base didn't flex.. it just crack T^T jkjk didnt crack mine
oh wow this is unexpected
100 dpi 2k? No way he’s really using 100dpl?
Well you can’t buy the viper mini se. So yea people have to copy it
I am really sorry but Razer actually copied the magnesium alloy and cutouts from other company, wlmouse does not copy Razer it copies final mouse …
Still waiting RVM non SE Edition (cheap)
As far as I know, that was the Cobra 😔
You know if you don’t want the mouse you can give it to me 😅😂 I really need a mouse rn
I would urge everyone to just wait for a cheap Chinese knockoff, which I guarantee will be coming shortly.
yup and I bet it'll have the same performance for cheap
This mouse is the knockoff
LOL. This is not the cheap Chinese knockoff? :)
@@doge8153Wait for the knockoff of the knockoff :)
He’s talking abt the chinese knockoff of the chinese knockoff. Wait a few more months we’ll get the chinese knockoff of that chinese knockoff
Cool
What the tiger doin?
Why does youtube never recommend your videos to me anymore.
In me the tiger sniffs the rose😤😤😤
i like how nobody seem to know that finalmouse did this style first.
My mouse 78g and .... Who know why 1g one day
I could barely hear the mouse clicks. Please have it closer next time.
That was the point. They’re quiet.
…must be your ears because I also pointed out how quiet they are. Also, I increased the volume during the sound test as shown on screen by “+5db” Pay closer attention.
I hear em just fine lol
If you compare it to razer then it’s just wrong, You should’ve compared it with Logitech Superlight 2, Much cheaper but this WL mouse absolutely beat the shit out of Logitech fanboy
and this razer glazing is exactly why you dont listen to the "popular" tech reviews. He is bought lmao. Every single other review ive seen either says that the mouse preforms better / identical to the fm ulx, and that the razer vms is outclassed. Lmao
for starters, I'm pretty sure they're copying Finalmouse not Razer. It's the same shape as the S12. Bit of a dodgy review, the flexing and metallic noises when you slam it is really not that big of a deal. I'd pick the BeastX over the SE.
140 dollars is still crazy for a gaming mouse
Nah anything under 150 is good.
@@juanmanuel-vl2nj Nope.... but you don`t have info on production cost for these devices... :)
