About this deal

Endgame Gear does provide software for this product, but it’s rudimentary at best. You can change the DPI of the different steps and also heighten the LODby one millimeter but that’s about it. During the full week I've been using this mouse, I have not encountered any bugs or quirks with either the mouse itself or the software. I was not sure if I'd like the mouse initially, the specs seemed good, but the design of it didn't gel with me when I saw the online images, it appeared boring, but that ended up being a positive! We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.5. This update adds a new Main Button test group, which provides button actuation data and switch information. We've also made minor changes to how we calculate the Office usage score. For more details, you can see our full changelog here. Inside the Endgame Gear XM1 you’ll encounter the 3389 sensor. That one is, as should reasonably be expected from any decent and recent gaming mouse, flawless in its performance. You’ll experience no angle snappingor accelerationhere and that’s just the way it should be. For reference, my experience with this mouse has been on an Alienware QD-OLED monitor running at 144Hz G-Sync Ultimate. It is important to note this because the performance of the display will factor into how any mouse input performance is perceived both in and outside of gaming. Construction and feel

This Agreement is effective from the date on which the Software is installed or from the date on which this Agreement is accepted and is concluded for an indefinite time period. The Agreement ends with its termination by either party. It’s pretty obvious that this mouse was meant as a mostly plug and play peripheral since you can change the polling rateand DPI (it comes with the usual 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 DPI steps by default) on the device itself and that’s fine with me. Something odd that I noticed is that when I rotated the mouse (this isn’t something that I usually test for; I caught this by accident) I can hear what I can only describe as some very small particles move around inside the shell. This is only audible when I hold the mouse right next to my ear so it’s not annoying and obviously the mouse performs fine on all fronts so perhaps some plastic shavings or something like that got caught inside my copy. In any case: no harm done. The plastic feels thin and very light, yet the surface finishing has a premium nature to it. Even though it is un-textured, it feels expensive. This is one area where I think other brands like Logitech could take note. Please read this End User License Agreement carefully before you complete the installation process and before you use the ENDGAME GEAR Configuration software for the first time. By using this software (including the installation process), you declare your consent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, you are not allowed to complete the installation or use the software. End User License Agreement

The User is permitted to save and use the Software on an end device (e.g. PC, laptop, mobile phone or tablet). The User is responsible for ensuring that the device meets the minimum requirements of the Software. The User ensures that the Software is only used in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.Turning the mouse around gives away that it’s not a regular office mouse; on the bottom you see the white PTFE feet along with DPI and polling rate indicator LEDs but aside from this the XM1 is as basic as it gets. That’s not a bad thing: simplicity is key when it comes to this type of performance mouse. The XM2we is ambidextrous, and because of that has a low profile in the palm. I found myself clawing the mouse more than MX Master 3 which is taller with my palm resting on top of it, but the added weight means movement takes more effort, especially in fast action areas of gaming. As these mice are all wireless, it's easy enough to have both productivity and gaming mice without adding cable clutter, and since they both charge via USB-C, a single cable can be hidden away and used when needed. Specifications Sensor In other cases, the place of jurisdiction for disputes arising from or in connection with this Agreement and the contractual relationship with PGW is the User’s domicile or general place of residence.

Since I had dabbled with gaming mice a few times over the years from both Zowie and Logitech G, I was quite excited to give this new one a go. I didn't initially see the appeal, gaming mice historically tended to have silly looking aesthetics that didn't seem too ergonomic. But things soon changed and we started to see more brands enter the market and competition heat up.My only wish would be that it would be nice to see some extra buttons either on top of the mouse or around the thumb area. These buttons can then be customised in the software and could be mapped to actions in specific games or apps.
