Hey everyone, mel0n here welcome back to another episode of The mel0n Review! Today we're wrapping up part two of my review of the Ninjutso Sora V2! Now this mouse was a rather surprising mouse, being the 2nd polycarbonate shell mouse we've seen hit the market I was very interested to see how it'd compair to the Sprime PM1. But it turns out that the Sora V2 and the Sprime PM1 are almost identical in terms of their polycarbonate shell & their internal specs! On top of the other similarities both the Sora V2 and the Sprime PM1 also share the same exceptional performance so the Sora V2 despite it's small appearance this mouse packs a punch! I hope you all enjoy the review as always I'll have a teardown of the Sora V2 coming out shortly after this video goes live so be sure to get subscribed so you don't miss that!

u are the god send of youtube as of late covering everything i’m interested in, thank you for making this style of informative content for us !!!
Glad you're enjoying the videos!
Thank you for this review! I actually just sold one today since I'm more of a palm grip user, but I really enjoyed the mouse while I had it. Your reviews are super in-depth and thoughtful, I'm looking forward to seeing this channel continue.
Thank you so much 💜
Can't wait for the tear down video, parts could be very similar with my Sprime PM1 but am just curious and its gonna be fun.
It'll be out on Friday!
Great in-detail review! im thinking of upgrading from the original G Pro wireless. do you feel that it would be worth it to upgrade?
Hey! It'd be a better mouse in terms of weight but the shape is pretty different, specifically towards the front of the mouse. If you have medium size hands and claw grip the Sora V2 will be great but it'll heavily depend on your hand size.
great video, when do u think the teardown will be uploaded? also in the teardown videos could u way the different parts like the base and shell and stuff? that would be a nice addition
Hey! Unfortunately the teardown is already recorded, it'll be going live tomorrow morning. But I'll look into weighing the different pieces for future teardowns!
@@mel0nFPS thank you! :) u could also do something similar to the diagram u put in i think the waizowl cloud review with each parts weight, amazing content really appreciate your work
Nice video! I shaved down my Vaxee cable to fit my sora because it just feels like a nicer cable.
I was gonna try that but I don't trust myself to sand the cable properly 😂
@@mel0nFPS Sliced it down with a knife.. but I did have an extra just in case I botched it lol
Nice review! I just bought one. What skates can u recommend for me using a AQII pad?
Hey, what pad are you referring to? I'm assuming its the Aqua Control II but I wanted to confirm
@@mel0nFPS Aqua Control II is indeed the pad I am talking about :)
@@lucaha9859 Personally I love the Jade/Obsidian donuts skates, I actually used the jade donuts on my Sora V2 for most of this review and they preformed really well!
@@mel0nFPS Allright thanks a lot :)
I bought it. I love it. Don’t care in the slightest about anything above 1K polling. Not to mention it’s 50-90 US cheaper than the higher polling mice. I like it more than the Final Mouse as well (I have a batch 2 ULX). Mice at this level is highly subjective. Try things till you love one.
informative video, How much time does it take to ship? As I ordered on 1st April and I'm still waiting.
Hey, no idea sadly. Last time I looked it said early April but no specific dates.
I ordered mine on March 27. When I asked them, if I could get an estimate, they said it should ship late April because of some delays.
I hope the Ninjutso mousepads are good enough to purchase this mouse, got to make it compatible.
Make sure not to change your skates 😭
Otherwise it's GG 😢
does the sora v2 skates fit the sprime pm1? edit: wanna get some full sized obsidians/the sensor ring
I believe they're the same but I didn't test them myself. To be on the safe-side get Obsidian Pre-Cuts for the PM1 instead of the Sora V2 incase there's a slight difference with the skate sizing.
@@mel0nFPS haven't seen any aftermarket PM1 skates other than corepads in stock yet. guess I'll wait a little more
@@WaduBen You could always get the Obsidian Donuts!
What game is that towards the start of the video? Also great in depth review!
Bad Business, it's in Roblox
Overwatch 2 & Roblox Bad Business!
Wow! Thats 0:45 thats a nice tracking there
Followed up directly by me missing a whole mag 😂
thanks for the indepth review
No worries!
seems like a very nice mouse, i've heard the battery life isnt the best though (on higher polling rates) and that the dongle only comes with 1k polling and that you will have to buy a separate dongle for the highest polling rate advertized
Yeah the battery life on 4/8k polling is gonna be like sub 20 hours depending on the implementation. To be fair most 9k polling mice that are wireless have pretty poor battery life but the Sora V2 will be the worst due to the 250 mAh battery.
When does the dongle come out?
No idea, been waiting for both Ninjutso and Sprime to say when its releasing but they've been radio silent. I assume there's an issue with the part so it's been delayed but I don't know for sure.
melon have you ever heard about the vgn dragonfly?
I have! Been trying to get my hands on their mice but haven't had a chance too yet :(
the sora v2 slaps
Zowie u2 or the zora v2?
For small-med hands I'd go with the Sora V2, larger hands can work with the Sora V2 but you'd have to fingertip. I'd avoid the U2 as a whole, mouse isn't that good honestly.
Heard lots of good things about this
❤❤
Eles não são iguais !!! São fabricados na mesma fabrica - Sora v2 e SPRIME PM1 - mas tem varias diferenças, eu fiz a revisão dos dois. E são parecidos, MAS não iguais. AMBOS as minha unidades estavam perfeitas... Sora v2 é um dos melhores mouses da atualidade.... Sprime eu adorei, é muito bom, mas como eu prefiro simétrico menores, minha avaliação pessoal, eu gostei mais do SORA v2
I just wish there was medium sized ergo mice. Soooooo I just bought a sprime PM1
Great choice! Honestly the Sora V2 and the PM1 are essentially the same, the only difference is ones a symm and ones and ergo!
Sora V2 or Lamzu Maya?
Unfortinately I haven't used any of LAMZU's mice yet, been trying to get my hands on them but no luck so far so I can't really say which is better sadly.
So are Ninjutso and Sprime the same company? Like I get that they're both made at the same factory, but the mice are sooo similar.
We have no confirmation but since they're so similar there's no way these mice could legally exist so I'm like 99% sure Ninjutso ownes Sprime and us using them to test experimental shaps. But regardless of who owns who both mice are exceptional.
Tell this to shroud. 😂
That can’t be a good mouse - Shrawd
Shroud is full logi pilled 😭
Should I purchase a mouse misrepresented by manufacturer: 8k polling rate while mouse currently is 1k, 39 grams while mouse is 41 gram?! No thank you!!! I am not going to blindly reward their dishonesty….
It all says in the text that dongle sold separately and the weight can vary within +- 2 grams
And on top of that 2k and 4k polling is coming out with a firmware update. Only 8k is a new dongle
@arc4863 you sure? About update 2k 4k? source?
@@kmktnn1801 yea confirmed by sora. A ton of content creators have said so
Weight is pre-padded mouse - x-ray pads are plastic composite and will weigh a gram or so for a full set, the white is also stated to be 40g and not 39g Polling rate is also noted on all documents that it will need the dongle, again this was disclosed
