I was kind of hoping for a list of the top 5 skilled rodent gamers.
That’s tomorrow
lol
Is Stuart little a gamer?
I was looking for who asked
Can’t wait for this vid to finally drop.. I heard master splinters been really putting in the hours this off season
Really cool that you invited some other tech creators and mice specialists like Haus or Optimum.
Really liked the collaboration, nice one!
ngl this is one of the best reviews i have heard from youtubers.I recently purchased the gpx2 and he described it perfectly
i love the colabs!!! PLS DO more :)
Dope collab!
Nothing like a Frank video comparing gaming peripherals. Long time fan, love your videos Frank. Just wanted to let you know I appreciate them
I’ve been enjoying my ULX nice weight change compared to my Starlight Pro both have very nice build quality
Got the moonlight rog harp ace, aside from the armoury crate, it is amazing. I use it for gaming and work, the bluetooth connection for my work laptop. Upgraded from g302 wireless, and I must say, I cant go back to a heavier mice. Also, a clean looking mice and has rgb if you want it.
Still rocking an X2 mini, its been so perfect for me that I stopped my crazed mouse buying tendencies after buying it a year ago and haven't once felt the need to even consider upgrading... but here I am learning about the current market eheheh
A little bit different question. Would you recommend buying the stream deck mk.2?
Great video! Love the collaboration
Just what I wanted to see! You should do one for mousepads and headphones!
Please also make a list of mice that are also using for productivity usage, and have side scrolling feature as well. especially in mid-budget tier
I've had the ROG harpe ace for like a month now, and I must say I really love it and would recommend. Only issue is the horrible Armory create software, but you can live with that
i had the harpe ace cause my pulsar ergo broke but i just couldn't keep it, cause the qc is just laughable. I got 2 replacements, so 3 in total and all of them had some kind of problem sadly. Other than that, i really liked that thing.
so far everything fine for me, I hope it will also stay that way
@@nukky2796 hope that too for you bro. i am thinking about getting a white one but there are no glass skates for the harpe ace. that's a deal breaker.
I'm also a huge fan but I just don't like the texture it's like Razers Deathadder V3 pro it's just not nice to hold in the hand because of the surface feel. The regular V3 wired has a much better coating
@@MrMaxim my previous mouse was Corsair M65 that had this "sand paperish" coating on the sides and I really liked and got used to it, so I enjoy the textured coating on the rog harpe as well. But it's totally up to personal preference, and I can see why some people don't like it. (btw. I truly enjoy your CS content, been subscriber for years, keep it up.)
I love my ROG harpe ace paired with the hone ace mouse pad using the calibration setting in the Armory crate software has provided some of the best/smoothest tracking and aim ive ever had in COD and CS. I got it for $88 on Amazon Prime day.
I love the cobra pro. I know it's not the viper mini, but I loved the shape of the viper mini and like more RGB so it was perfect for me.
Love the og equate Desk Pad in the B roll. Man has good taste
LOVE my superlight. Not picking up this refresh but am definitely keeping my eye on Logitech mice going forward.
R a z e r. V i p e r. V 2. P r o
What about razer Viper v3 pro?@@erjohn5404
With the Hyper Polling Dongle update, the Cobra Pro can now run at 8k Polling when paired.
i tested nearly every mouse that came up in the past few years and i have to say the lamzu mini has the best shape of them all. the click feeling is also super nice. price is extremely fair and it supports 4k. i use it with pulsars grip tape (the best on the market right now) and im performing better than ever. i bought the ULX but it didnt arrive yet. definately hyped for that one
Have you tried the Ninjutso Sora? I'm deciding between that and the Lamzu, what are your thoughts?
how much is it? and does it have 2 extra buttons
@@ANAS-ty6rnthe atlantis mini 4k has two thumb buttons and is available for 90€+shipping on max gaming at the moment. its still not an extrem low budget mouse but still a better price then all of the mice in this video
yes i tried the sora. but the old one. there is not much difference shape wise if i remember right. but i have a more premium feel with the lamzu mini@@brzt4256
@@ANAS-ty6rn100. and yes
Great list, can't wait for my UltralateX 🤣🤣
So cool you have Haus on this channel, he deserves this!
i cant believe that i missed this vid, but i love the format! ive been maining the pulsar superglide pad with the beastx, and i just switched to optimum tech's modkit for the viper v2 pro, and i hit my first 110,000 in sixshot!
Loving my harpe ace. Underrated mouse
just in time, my scroll wheel broke and was so happy to see u posted.
I like logitech mice but my pro wireless and hero both suffered the double click issues. Optical switches will hopefully limit that problem
wait im confused are you supposed to use the wire when connecting the dongle like that or can i just directly plug it into my pc
Do I buy the g502 x plus or the Logitech g pro x superlight 2
Can you send the link of the weight machine you use for weighing gadgets? BTW, love your videos! Also, I wanted to know the name of your gold chain that you wear.
Gonna get my hands on that X2H, kinda wanting an upgrade to my wired mm710 I've been using for the past few years.
I'm not able to use my right hand for anything since I'm slightly disabled. Is there any newer mice alternatives out there than my current Razer Viper Ultimate? That mouse has come in super clutch since the 4 marcro's on the sides has enabled me to play games like "normal".
Would it be possible to get the desktop wallpaper you used in your video reacting to linus reviewing your mouse? Ive tried to find it to no avail.
Still rocking a Zowie EC2-A and it was an incredible mouse for the many years I've had it. Only looking to upgrade to get rid of the wires but their wireless version is a bit expensive
what kind of switch is that to the left of your keyboard that is attached to the keyboard?
I'm here because when I turn my mouse fast in FPS games, my whole screen just stops moving. Someone told me it might be my mouses sensor, would getting once of these mice fix that issue?
Is the gpro x superlight 2 good for people with large hands
yo the collab is dope
Which is the best ergo small wireless mouse?
model o 2 pro or superlight 2?
Your videos helped me suggest a keyboard for my late 60's gaming mom. Now I'm here looking for a new mouse for myself!
Made the switch from superlight 1 to ultralight x and it's a pretty great upgrade in my opinion - the weight difference is insane!
so is the price diff
razer cobra can go up to 8khz with the hyperpolling now. they released a update to the software last week i believe.
loved the canucks and optimum cameo's
Agree with the X2H - however I'm kind of torn on the optical switches....Huano Blue Shell / Pink Dot are just so good. I have their new Xlite V3 eS coming today...hopefully I can see if the optical switch feel has changed at all.
How is the Xlite V3 es ergo shape?
@@unholydonuts Nearly identical to the Xlite V2. It's a middle ground between my EC2 and DAV3 and only feels heavy compared to ambi shapes.
I love my GPX SL 2, coming from the original It just made me love it more. I use it probably 30% of the time. I find it hard to stop using the master 3s for most things lol,
Is the model d much worse than the d2pro? what are the differences
shouldn't atlantis mini 4k be in this tierlist?
You should try the wlmouse beastX! A lot of people are saying its a top 3 mouse for 2023 and a very good competitor to both the ULX and the razer viper sig. Would be curious to see your review
I already reviewed it…
@@randomfrankp oh i didnt know. I'll have to go watch that
the viper mini SE and ULX are really cooll but to perform my best I do use the gpx
The cobra being on this list is crazy and having the gpx 2 at number one ? I use to watch this channel but clearly his ranking/reviews are coaxed by the company. 💵
i had the viper SE but was waaay too small and made my hand hurt, so back to my dav3, just ordered the lightweight mod for it
Anyone know what keyboard at the 16:40 mark and keycaps frank was using?
I love the superlights by logi, however, my superlight 1 is breaking and side buttons barely work properly after barely 2 years of use.
Ah. Thank goodness I saw this. I was considering getting the superlight 2, but my G703 lightspeed also got problems quickly. Maybe I should refrain from getting a logitech again then... but no idea what to buy instead. I had to get used to the shape and now that I'm used to it it'll be annoying to get used to yet another one again
@@DiaborMagics the ULX is worth it, people shit on razer but I’ve honestly never had an issue w their mice 🤷
I was hoping to see some of the Benq mice I love my EC2 Wireless idk if they came out in 2023 though
I got in on that 1st run of the new Finalmouse, but I'm STILL waiting on my delivery. Guess all the 1st batches went to the reviewers. Maybe I'll get it by Christmas...
Loved the collab style, im craving for your old style pubg gameplay videos❤
I'm so confused... So the ultrax or w.e is the lightest mouse with the lowest response time (Latency) but somehow the superlight 2 is better? Someone explain... am I missing something? I just want best gaming performance
Would it be possible to make a list of vertical mice?
Idk just love razer Naga for the interchangeable side buttons sometimes all u need is 7 sometime 12 sometimes 2 but I usually stick with 7
Any info on the keycaps pls ?
Try lightweight mice if your arm sits higher on your desk and it ends up hurting a lot i recently got the deathadder after having an aerox 5 for about a year already the differences are completely different lol deathadder is a great lightweight mouse but probably not the best one around lol good vid
In the Philippines and in south east asia we have Rakk Gahum for roughly only $40 in my opinion is a great value. I have been using it for a year and I love it.
did you tried Xlite V3 / V3 ES ? it's just released and everyone liked it already
I bought a Steelseries Aerox 5 wireless and was VERY disappointed. I'm returning it tomorrow. Luckily I kept my 3 year old superlight x pro. I had to charge the aerox at least once per week to keep it at 50%. When I got my superlight, I think I didn't charge it for almost two months (playing 2-3 hours maximum per day) only charging to 60% every time. Now I charge it more often, maybe every few weeks or so. The aerox also had trouble with wake up time, up to 2 seconds most often, also trouble connecting in general. The dongle is right in front of the mouse and it still doesn't connect sometimes. The superlight had a much longer way to connect to the 1/4 size dongle, but still connected faster and more reliably. Sad.
What about beastX, Lamzu etc..? :)
Frank, how's Cobra Pro on this list? You totally missed some good stuff, Maya, BeastX, etc.
Exactly. I understand not including the BeastX, it's literally brand new and I think there are better options, but to not include anything from Lamzu is crazy, like, not even a mention?
no atlantis mini 4k?
I’ve been using my Final mouse ULX for a week now and it’s awesome.
We need a review on the AttackShark x3 mouse, it's storming the market with the price they're giving especially these days on sale. Only 22$ i guess on aliexpress.
Been meaning to get my hands on the ROG Harpe Ace even though I heard the software is horrible. The collaboration was a nice touch
I got the Harpe Ace and I'm using it for 11 days. And it is sooooo good! Before purchasing the mouse, I'm also worried about the software. So when i got the mouse I use it without the software. And after 11 days of using it (Heavy usage + rgb on) that's the time I need to charge it. So I found out that there's a software for the mouse called "Armoury crate gear" (Not the full Armoury Crate that has many negative reviews, I think) it is software for the mouse itself. So i download it and set the mouse (RGB off, etc.) and uninstall it right away without any issues. Now I am testing the battery life of the mouse without rgb. :D
@@noisenoys Ay, that’s awesome and good to know! Thanks for the comment 🫡
I would love a MMO mouse round up. For us people that want 3 to 6 or even more buttons on a mouse. Great video!
Sadly there isn't really much out there that has been updated in the last several years. Realistically only the Naga is relatively using new tech.
@@isaacclarke2072 ahh oké, sad times. Ooh well! Guess I'll have to do with what is out now
Yo! Great video. AI has come as LONG way. The way the avatar in this video speaks and looks-- it's almost convincing!
In me Top 5 is cleary th VGN Dragonfly F1 , insane performance for just 60€.
Lamzu maya is good?
Ive been a fan of the G pro superlight for a while now, im not sure if its worth upgrading to the superlight 2 or try another.
for the price, i feel like it’s just not worth it. try something new!
Defo not worth it. Identify your grip style and try a new mouse that’s designed specifically for that, and you’re gonna be a lot happier. In my case, I switched from the Superlight to the Lamzu Atlantis Mini 4K, and I can never go back. The Lamzu feels so nice and intuitive in my hand, whereas the Superlight just feels like an awkward chunk of plastic now.
Have you made a video covering the turquoise keyboard in the background?
I still have a Logitech G703 Lightspeed and I've had so many issues with the scroll wheel and some minor other things, that I'm honestly hesitant about getting another one. I have seen quite some complaints about the one I've got, but also with as sidenote that it seems to be a model more prone to problems. If anyone reads this and has experience with the G Pro X Superlight 2 (and other logitech mice), do you have any issues? How big is the risk? --rant below, no need to read it All peripherals I have bought the last few years have given me problems where my older stuff that simply died of old age did not. My old Mad Catz mouse worked well for years and years, so did my old turtle beach headset. But this logitech mouse and a new turtle beach headset both had issues really quickly after purchasing them and I already replaced that turtle beach headset again with a steelseries, which isnt cheap and while the software is mostly fine now that I'm used to it, the headset itself still just randomly shuts down about once a day, maybe once every 2 days. It's gotten to the point where I'm just hesitant to buy anything anymore >.< I do research, but every product will have complaints about it somewhere. Eventually you have to pick. And 3 suboptimal purchases in a row now really blows. But I NEED to replace this mouse again because the scroll wheel is driving me nuts, as well as since a few weeks that holding the left mouse button down just doesn't always work. I'll be dragging a file or a cell in a sheet and it will just let go before it should, while I'm still holding the LMB down. All fixes I have seen for the scroll wheel that I could do aside from taking it apart didn't work. Getting it repaired will cost me at least almost as much as a new mouse, too.
i refuse to ever use a logitech mouse simply because every single one of their mouses has some sort of issue whether it be the software, not actually clicking, or some other nonsense. Specifically with the superlight 2 i heard they removed the dpi and cpo sensors just to make the mouse even lighter and that it's the exactly the same if not worse than the original superlight which is considerably cheaper than the superlight 2
wdy think abt hyperxpuslefire haste 2 ?
love the way you put other youtubers in this..... 🙂
Ready to buy the superligth 2
Lamzo Atlantis and Thorn probably deserved a spot, at least in honorable mentions
We gotta wait for the viper v3 pro to release
X2H Mini is The best mouse i've ever used, coming from a X2 Medium the shape feels much better in hand, strongly recommend it
IMO Lamzu Thorn is one of the best to release bottom line.
what about Logitech G502 Wireless Lightspeed is it good
Love my logitech but damn the clicks feels so damn loud and heavy compared to my old glorious model o
Gpx 2 at number 1 is wild when pulsar and lamzu exist at a fraction of the cost.
Logitech's brand awareness and sponsorship definitely carried the Superlight 2 to this number one spot.
Daddy appreciate you for this. I’ve been looking around for a new mouse. Good to see there’s more options. Can we get a $50 or under category?
attack shark x3, darmoshark m3
vgn dragonfly
Roccat kone pro air is a really good mouse. It's 29 dollar for black Monday.
Im rather surprised that the Pwnage Stormbreaker wasn't even mentioned in the honorable mentions, i get that its basically just an ergonomic superligth, but its unique, new, and doesnt feel all that bad from the consumer standpoint, most things bad about are blown out of proportion or were on earlier releases/models of the mouse
Exactly 💯💯
My exact thoughts
where can i look at the cobra, the link takes me to the naga??
I strongly disagree with the superlight 2 as Number 1, its a slight upgrade that doesnt add additional extra features. I use the aim lab asus mouse and that supports 1 dongle pair with the 96% wireless keyboard and offers bluetooth. Logitech need to step it up because the competition is doing much better.
Couldn't have said it better 😂
Don’t forget my DAV3 now supports 8hz with the hyperpolling dongle and Logitech JUST entered the 2k polling rate.
Honestly Logitech is becoming what razer was 2y ago, and razer is just becoming more.... razery. Logitech's value has been increasingly laughable recently, the prices are just unjustified.
I agree.
every gpro i've had from the original to the x, has broken. Either the mouse clicks go mush, or the side buttons break.
Wow. Not a single mention of lamzu Atlantis mini. It has been my replacement for the superlight. Also better value.
how is the superlight 2 on #1 tho when basically any other mouse on the list beats it in every way.
bruh try out the ragnok 2 gun mouse...like more opinions on this one
Missed out on Lamzu mices
Looking for a good wireless mouse but after watching some of these reviews I'm a bit confused... if you are going to be clipping a dongle to your mouse pad, why not just use a wired mouse? Main reason I'm looking for wireless is to clean up my desk of wires.
Where is Lamzu Atlantis OG v2 or Thorn?
Can you do gaming laptop next?
Yoo i used to watch you when i was around 8 i just found your channel again keep up the good work!
