Review on XM1 RGB Gaming Mouse by ENDGAME GEAR - High-Precision PMW3389 Sensor, Vibrant RGB Mouse Lighting, Adjustable 50 to 16,000 CPI, Programmable Side Buttons, Durable 60M Click Switches, Lightweight 2.75 oz Design - Dark Reflex by Kevin Hauck

The XM1 is an amazing mouse, I've had the V2 (the one with the black Endgame Gear logo in the photo I posted) for a little over 6 months and she's still going strong. When Endgame decided to release a revision in XM1r, I had to revert it (an excuse for me to have a second XM1). All changes listed in the product description make the top of the XM1 as a wired mouse. I think the move to the more energy efficient 3370 sensor is a sign that Endgame has plans for a wireless model on the horizon, which is very interesting. Thanks to German engineers. XM1r appears to be more advanced overall compared to V2. The clicks are cleaner and the move from Omron switches to Kailh 8.0 should mean the double click issue should be a lot less of an issue. The side buttons have a firmer feel and less travel than before, making them more tactile. And the scroll wheel has a bit more resistance out of the box and feels more solid (which can be good or bad depending on the person, I personally like it). The scroll wheel button itself feels about the same, which is fine, I only use it to ping in games so it's not an issue. The standard feet also glide very well with little break-in time (plus you get a second pair of feet). Thankfully, what I initially liked about the XM1 has stayed the same. These include the incredibly grippy finish, the shape, the 70g weight and finally the understated aesthetic. It's nice that Endgame kept the mouse's MSRP at $59.99 before tax, which is a really good deal for a model like this. well designed mouse. If you can buy the V2 at a discount somewhere do it as it's still very good (I suspect retailers are now trying to ditch their V2 stocks) but the XM1r with all the upgrades is worth it. I'm glad I have two of these in case something happens to either of them as it's been my favorite mouse gaming experience so far. Looking forward to a wireless model (hopefully with USB-C). Things to note: At the time of this review, no customization software was available, so you'll be stuck with the default DPI settings of 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 respectively (this can be changed using the button under the mouse). Stocks aren't the best either, this mouse is usually hard to find in stock so I'd check here and elsewhere regularly to see if you're trying to get your hands on one. That's understandable when you think about it though, given that Endgame Gear is a relatively small peripherals company compared to Logitech or Razer.
