It would be better if this was on the top so you can adjust on the fly, but you’ll have to make do without. DPI uses the number of individual points present in series next to one another in the space of an inch. The coating stuck to our hands like glue during the sweatier matches, and we found ourselves gripping the mouse in a claw, which is where we felt most comfortable with it.

We’re actually a fan of how great this software is, it never really gets in the way of the rest of your setup, and it’s minimal enough and easy to use, meaning that there are no bigger headaches, or settings burning underneath layers of different menus. Endgame never explicitly says so, but the XM2we feels comfier with a palm grip than a fingertip pose, as the scroll wheel is small and placed far forward on the body. Well, I hope you’re decisive, because once you’ve made your choice, you’ll never find that option ever again. Whilst they have an optical barrier, the distinct actuation point has a feedback akin to mechanical switches, for a more familiar experience.Combined with the PixArt PAW3370 sensor running in corded mode, it guarantees optimal gaming performance. We also found the near 50-hour battery life of the mouse to be great, with a small LED sensor only ever popping up when the mouse needed to be charged.

Thanks to a hybrid design bottom shell, it's possible to easily install either large or small skates with the smaller skates fitted by default. With all smoothing and angle-snapping disabled, the tracking data from the sensor is as raw as it can be. It might not boast the most advanced sensors, or be flush with RGB lights, but it really doesn’t need it. The Pixart Wireless 3370 sensor might not be the newest thing in the world, but really what matters is its implementation. Further facilitating high performance, the Endgame Gear XM2we Gaming Mouse utilises premium Kailh switches across all of its buttons.
