Review on 🖱️ EVGA X17 Gaming Mouse: Wired, Black | Customizable, 16,000 DPI | 5 Profiles, 10 Buttons | Ergonomic 903-W1-17BK-KR by Ahmed Rowe

I've seen many reviewers and online commentators criticizing the mouse for its "2010 look" and for not being in line with today's ultra-lightweight mouse trend, which is downright stupid. Are you going to own or want one of those "gaming chairs" that look like race car seats (designed solely for drivers who sit closer to the ground and at an angle rather than sitting squarely in the office or at home) and spit on them? Live mouse looks very good, especially in gray with a matte texture that is pleasant to the touch. The texture of the rubber on the sides is soft and smooth, and I could barely tell there were indentations on the surface for good grip. Overall, it looks personable from the back (where you see it most often) and like a gamer from the front. Clicks are responsive and pleasant, the average mouse is fairly stiff and doesn't dangle, you can tilt by clicking left and right. The software is basic, must be able to delete a profile as it was a bit of a hassle to go through all 5 profiles to set the same dpi and also set all 3 color options to the same so I didn't make a mistake. As for the cons, the sniper button location is useless to me as someone who holds on with a large, long-fingered hand. This is an awkward position. If you grab the palm, there are no problems. My thumb also rests and puts some pressure on the back/forward button through the claw grip, but after unpinning the game it wasn't an issue and just took some getting used to. There's also a reflective rubber feel on the bottom edges. a bit sticky after a longer exposure time. Yes the mouse weighs over 120g but my previous mouse which I have been using for over 5 years is the G502 Proteus Spectrum so this is not a problem for me. People say lightness = automatically better, but I disagree. While it's simple physics that lighter = better on paper, preference and muscle memory play a much bigger role than contest weight. For those who are used to and play with a 120g+ mouse, switching to a 40-60g mouse will not "automatically" make you better, it's just common sense. The only fair point is that if you have a bad wrist problem, a lighter mouse would probably be better. But I doubt this is a problem for most people. I play 4-8 hours a day when I'm off and haven't had any wrist strain for the last 5 years. I mainly play FPS (today Warzone) and occasionally RTS/RPG. Will I notice a difference after switching from G502 to 8k HZ X17? Yes. It's noticeably softer. I'm glad EVGA's entry into the gaming peripheral market isn't just about uselessly high DPI that 99.9% of people would never use, especially in competitive FPS, but also about some real competitive improvements and game-changing 8000Hz Mice with Razer. I look forward to the day when technology will allow us to have 1ms 8kHz wireless mice. Update 01/06/2021: The mice are generally very satisfied, but the middle mouse button mechanism is loose and the swipe scrolling no longer works. Press/hold to scroll still works. Dust and dirt easily collect around the rubberized gripping surface on both sides, requiring frequent cleaning. TIP: Use a toothbrush.
