Endgame Gear XM2 Mouse

The Endgame Gear XM2 Mouse is a lightweight, wired gaming mouse designed for players who prioritize fast, precise tracking and versatile grip options. Its symmetrical shape supports claw, palm, and fingertip grips, making it suitable for a wide range of hand sizes and playstyles. This mouse targets competitive gamers seeking high polling rates and adjustable sensitivity for responsive control.

Sensor & Tracking

Equipped with the Pixart PAW3395 optical sensor, the XM2 offers adjustable DPI from 50 to 26,000, allowing fine-tuned sensitivity for different games and tasks. The mouse supports polling rates up to 8000Hz, which means it can report movement to the computer up to 8000 times per second, resulting in smoother and more accurate cursor tracking. This high polling rate benefits users who need minimal input delay and precise aiming.

Shape & Ergonomics

The symmetrical design accommodates claw, palm, and fingertip grips, providing flexibility for various hand sizes and grip preferences. At 52 grams, the mouse is lightweight, which can reduce fatigue during extended gaming sessions. Included large and small PTFE skates improve glide on different surfaces, enhancing comfort and control.

Buttons & Switches

The mouse uses Kailh GX mechanical switches with both top and bottom contacts. Users can choose between GX Speed Mode for lower click latency or GX Safe Mode for more reliable actuation. This dual-mode switch design offers a balance between responsiveness and durability. The scroll wheel features a TTC silver encoder, contributing to precise scrolling.

Connectivity

The XM2 connects via a non-detachable 70-inch Flex Cord 6.0 with USB-A, providing a consistent wired connection with low latency. The cable is flexible to reduce drag, but its fixed length and non-detachable nature may limit customization or portability.

Trade-offs

While the mouse excels in responsiveness and lightweight design, it lacks wireless options, which may be a drawback for users seeking cable-free setups. The non-detachable cable could be less convenient for transport or replacement. Software customization details are unknown, which may limit advanced configuration for some users.
