Endgame Gear XM2 8K - Black

The Pixart PAW3395 sensor of the XM2 8K reaches 26,000 DPI, and at 8000 Hz it reports your position eight times more often than a standard 1000 Hz mouse. Every micro-correction lands on screen without the stutter you can feel on fast tracking. If you'd rather balance responsiveness and system load, the polling rate drops to 4000, 2000 or 1000 Hz in a click.

The XM2 8K keeps a symmetrical shape with its side buttons on the left, sized at 122 x 66 x 38 mm and tuned for claw grip. Its full shell skips the holes entirely, yet the mouse stays at 52 g. The hybrid skate design lets you choose your glide, with small skates pre-installed and larger ones in the box when you want more stability!

GX switches use an SPDT design with a top and a bottom contact, so a click registers as soon as the top contact releases instead of waiting for the bottom one to close. This lowers click latency and acts as extra hardware debouncing against unwanted double-clicks. Behind it, a Nuvoton M483 MCU handles the high-speed USB link that makes 8000 Hz possible, and the mouse is configured in a lightweight tool with nothing to install.

Endgame Gear made its name with the XM1, its first mouse, and the XM line has stayed its reference for claw players. The XM2 8K shares its hardware and firmware with the OP1 8K, so choosing between them comes down to one question: which shape suits your hand. Pick the larger XM body here, or the more compact OP1, and the performance stays identical!
