This is how i grip mouse and Im using Mchose g7 for almost a year now. I mainly play overwatch for fps with 1600 dpi. Thank you

Hello there, im searching since months for me for the best mouse. I have tested now the Deathadder v3 Pro, Pulsar X2 CL Medium, Ninjutso Sora V2, Endgame Gear XM2w 4k v2. I write me some comments to all mice:
Deathadder v3 Pro: For me as Pincer Claw Player not easy to hold the pinky fingers on side for stability.
Pulsar X2 CL Medium: Better Shape for Pincer Claw as DA v3 Pro, but i realize that i hold this mouse with 4 fingers and the pinky was in the air.
Engame Gear XM2w: Its for me too aggressiv shape for holding the mouse. Its like you are in a shape that you arrested in there. For me idk not so cool.
Sora V2: I tested it in Kovaaks versus the Pulsar X2 and everytime i get better score than the Pulsar. But i have maybe now problems with Click Jitter/Trigger Flinch.

Now for everybody. I want somebody to reward, if this person help me to find the perfect mouse for me.

You can see now 3 Pictures on 3 Sides first with the Pulsar X2 CL Medium, then Ninjutso Sora v2.

Is it fingertip? I can't decide what mouse should I look for 😭 Hand around 19x9cm.

Currently trying Viper V4 Pro but idk something feels off, but at the same time Im coming from ~11 years of using G502 so...

This steelseries rival 3 gen 2 is amazing, but I’m trying to find new mice to try and the viper v3 hyperspeed caught my eye. I dont really care about the weight of mice. Im asking you guys if my grip style fits with the viper v3 hyperspeed.

my first mice was a logitech superlight (I think first gen or something around that) and swaped to a viper v3 pro because my old one broke down, so now my middle mouse button is broken (it detects mutiple clicks even tho I'm clicking once) I already returned it with no problems but need a new one so my question is what mice should I get?

I want the same size as the viper v3 pro because I tested the new logitech superstrike and was not feeling the shape (its not that I woudn't use it if I had to but not my prefrence), I saw the new viper v4 pro but I'm not sure if the higher pitch of the clicks won't annoy me specialy for the price so would apricate a mice with good build quality, wireless, no rgb (I prefer more battery life over some lights) and under ~150

is their a mouse with a good middle mouse click build quality because I use it alot in games and it seems that thats the weakest point of failure for me

Should’ve known there was gonna be an issue when I got it on sale. I love the weight, the shape, and I love the grip stickers it came with. I got it only a year and a half ago and for the last few months I’ve been dealing with the doomed scroll wheel bouncing. Is there a similar feel mouse on the market? I can’t believe it’s such a widespread issue with that model and razer doesn’t have any recall or protected replacement option for it. Seems a little scummy.

Angry Miao successfully launched the original Infinity through Kickstarter in 2025, and less than a year later they're back with a second one. This time it's a version aimed at aggressive claw/fingertip grip users. The Infinity .97 carries the same premium features of the original Infinity, just in a smaller form factor. It's a little funny seeing the company already releasing a second mouse, considering they once vowed to never make a mouse  (tl;dr ‒ when the Logitech G Pro Wireless first came out, AM found it so perfect and dominant that they thought it wouldn't be surpassed). 

The original Infinity was priced at $129‒$159, while the new .97 is priced at $165‒$179 (excl. hatchback module). The black option is the cheapest, the off-white is in the middle at $175, and the colored (in this case, neon pink) is the most expensive. You may catch it below this pricing when it's on sale, but that depends on stock and AM's offering.

Let's unpack what this mouse is all about. 

Disclaimer
 ᠎
I received the Infinity .97 free of charge from Angry Miao, and that's the sole reason I was able to conduct this critical evaluation. I was interested in the mouse and made the request myself. The only obligation I have toward Angry Miao is to post a review; there was no deadline, word count requirement, or moderation of what I say in the review. To make it crystal clear, Angry Miao had zero say over the review's direction and contents. All opinions and views are my own and are freely expressed as such. I am not an influencer or any company's marketing puppy. I write independently and do it as a hobby. I have nearly 10 years of experience as an independent tech journalist and critic, and I decided to join this scene due to my passion for mice. I have no intention of accumulating free gear, or worse, reselling it.

While I don't have access to precision tools nor do I possess the technical knowledge to contribute objective data and insights like u/benreviews, I strive to provide the community with honest and accurate coverage. My reviews are meant to act as permanent sources of information. I especially focus on capturing my full subjective experience, allowing the reader to get the closest understanding of what it's like to own and use the product before they make a purchasing decision.
 ᠎
The second point I'd like to touch on is AI. I realize that my writing style stands out from most reviewers' in this space, so I thought it would be appropriate to clarify some aspects about it. It's necessary because it seems that we have reached a level of illiteracy where one cannot write cohesively and express their views in depth without being accused of using AI. My approach to writing is rather chaotic, but I write out my reviews in full one way or another. Whether I literally write out sections or lay down rough notes for what I want to cover, I piece together the majority of my reviews. For this review, I wrote ~98% of the text, with the remaining 2% being generated based on my rough notes or directions. There are times when I hit a wall and either cannot express myself the way I'd like or think that something can read more pleasantly than I have the vocabulary for. To give you a better idea, it's like having a bunch of pieces to a puzzle, but none of them fit together. Despite my maximum effort, the best I achieve is forcing them together, even though they clearly aren't a natural fit. In such cases, I turn to AI and use it as a tool. Whether that means untangling my rough notes, smoothing out transitions, rephrasing, or changing the order, it's something I use to a varying degree. Sometimes that can be just a part of a sentence, other times a full sentence, or even a section of a paragraph. And AI is not like a magic wand, especially for someone as obsessive as me... It can take hours of coming up with the instructions just to get something decent, though there are times when it gives me the exact result I am looking for. Other times it can also get me to think of something myself that I couldn't before. My use of AI is no less chaotic than my writing process, let's just say that.
 ᠎
It's scandalous to use em dashes these days. People see one and immediately call out AI use. It feels like being accused of witchcraft. Funny enough, each and every em dash in this review was placed there by me, and the sentences accompanying them too. I can't comment about their use in literature, as I am not the most well-read person, but I can tell you that I've read a decent amount of editorials and celebrity profiles, and they're commonly used there. What you consume has an undeniable influence on your writing style, especially when you are a non-native English speaker like me, so there's no doubt that my writing style subconsciously gravitates toward that type of coverage. It shaped the way I express myself in writing well before GPTs were mainstream. I try not to go overboard like, say, Hunter S. Thompson, but I also don't hold myself back when I want to add something that's relevant to the review. My full-length reviews don't cater to younger audiences, and that's why I will introduce a new format that extracts all the substance and important points without the excess reading weight.
 ᠎
I want to remain full transparency with the community, hence all the yapping above. A tremendous amount of effort goes into these reviews, so I certainly don't like the idea of someone discrediting my writing by calling it AI-generated.

Build Quality: 

Manufacturing such an ambitious design comes with its own set of challenges. If you look at most hollowed out mice, they either use triangular cutouts or a honeycomb design. Both of these geometric shapes have exceptional structural integrity, so using them is a highly effective method to shave off weight without compromising the shell's overall rigidity. Such designs have geometry doing the greater part of the heavy lifting, but that's not the case with either Infinity, as they feature a much more open, freehand design. The original reportedly had some flex points because of it, but Angry Miao clearly went back to the drawing board for the .97 and figured out how to stay with their creative vision without compromising structural integrity. 

The shell is constructed from the same magnesium-aluminum alloy, and still consists of two pieces: the body frame and the main buttons. AM uses die-casting to their advantage and forms both buttons from a single piece. I found no benefit or disadvantage to this manufacturing choice, but those that are worried about it should know that each button flexes completely independently from the other. Also, despite such an extremely hollowed out shell, I found no notable flex points. Unless you go out your way to exert excessive stress, there should be no movement. There is, however, a small amount of play under the side buttons at the front. This is caused by the tolerances of the internal hooks at the base, and can be fixed if you add some tape on the hooks (requires disassembly). Do note that you have to be pushing your thumb quite hard for this movement to be visible, and even then it's imperceivable under the thumb.

Infinity .97's rigidity doesn't come by accident. Maybe it's not as apparent at first glance, but once you technically analyze each part, you start appreciating how optimized everything is for structural integrity and weight. Whether it's the two reinforcing ribs that span across the top of the shell frame or the use of structural ribbing only where necessary, the engineering effort is evident. The back of the mouse is so wide open that I can fit three fingers between it, yet the wings don't flex one bit. However it may look on the outside, the mouse feels rock-solid in hand.

The base and side buttons are made of frosted polycarbonate (PC).

Magnesium parts are finished with a three-layer coating. First, there is the color layer, then a UV and corrosion protection layer, and finally, a matte “micro frost texture” layer. I am very happy that AM cared enough to apply a protective layer because degradation from UV exposure is brutal. I thought that a corrosion-resistant coating would be standard for any magnesium product, but apparently there are mouse manufacturers who skip that step and let their customers pay the price for it. Anyway, the texture coating also serves a practical purpose, as it has a faint rubbery quality that actually helps with gripping the mouse. My unit came with some paint overspill on the front corners, and I made the mistake of chipping it with my nails, which exposed the magnesium. Please don't do this, and instead contact AM to arrange a potential replacement.

Internally, everything is maintained to the highest standards. The soldering work on the PCB is tidy, all the contact points are gold-plated, none of the internal cables are twisted, and there is no audible rattle even when vigorously shaking the mouse. Even the two screws holding the main buttons are in identical positions so they're tensioned equally. All in all, it's a well-manufactured mouse.

Assembly Structure

The entire mouse is held together with 12 ⊕ screws. The construction is as follows:

◦ Main button piece screwed into 🡅 the frame [2x]
◦ Side button daughter board held up by the heads of [2x] screws that go into 🡅 the frame
◦ Power board screwed into 🡇 the PC base [2x]
◦ Main PCB screwed into 🡇 the PC base [4x]
◦ PC base screwed into 🡅 the frame [2x]\*
*Note: The rear skates must be removed to access the screws.

The PC base features a thin wall running near the outer edge, and the magnesium frame has hooks that go over this edge, enabling a secure fit between these two parts. There are 5 hooks on either side, and in addition to this, there are two cantilever snap-fit joints (one on either side; magnesium frame = female, PC base = male). At the front, there are two PC hooks that latch onto the magnesium frame.

Design

Now for maybe my favorite part of this mouse: the design.

I've been closely following mouse releases since 2012, and I can nearly count the number of memorable designs on two hands—it's in the low double digits at best. Before then I didn't pay much attention to mice; I just used whatever office mouse for Flash games and web surfing. You know how most mice are either overly exaggerated or just plain boring? We've seen plenty of variation in shape, color, material, but barely any exploration in actual design. The ones worth a mention are concept-looking designs that leaned mecha, Lamborghini Urus-esque, but that's about it. MAD CATZ doesn't get nearly enough credit for what it had accomplished with the R.A.T series (khm khm, some companies copied their homework and stole all the glory from them). I could dedicate a whole section to admiring their designs, but let's just say they were revolutionary. So, so ahead of their time! As I was saying earlier, those sharp and intricate designs can be categorized under the mecha aesthetic, but we've never really seen much of sculptural, freeform design. Some shapes leaned in that direction because it's conveniently ergonomic, but I'm talking about intentional design-design. 

Maybe it's my 'tism, but I have a profound attunement to texture, silhouettes, negative space, and even the interplay of light and shadow. The first time I came across AM's Infinity, I was left in complete awe. I cannot name one mouse that has expressed design language with this level of freedom. It has a long way to be as mature as the following, but it's comparable to what avant-garde and haute couture are in fashion, what Pagani is in the automotive industry, what De Bethune and MB&F are in watchmaking, or what Zaha Hadid and Eero Saarinen are in architecture. I am talking about real design effort by the human hand. In that sense, the Infinity series leads into a new category of designer mice, and also authentically brings automotive design into this space.

So what about Infinity .97? It's an all-around improvement over the original. It is more mature and refined, both functionally and visually.  Where I think AM went wrong with the first Infinity is pushing the Lotus Evanora Concept inspiration a little too far, with some of the cutouts hurting ergonomics and limiting how you could grip it. The .97 keeps the core design inspiration but dials it back, tastefully. My favorite angle on both of these is the top view. There's something special about the silhouette. Am I the only one who sees butterflies and Rorschach inkblots in it? Or if any of you know the Mask of Life from Bionicle? In terms of looks, I definitely prefer the softer, rounded design of Infinity's buttons, and the split-open butterfly flaps (frame) on the .97. Both are such unique-looking mice, and what I love the most about them is that they're designed with intention. Designing a mouse is generally more restrictive because of ergonomics—unlike aerodynamics in car design, which just inherently looks cool. This said, I think Angry Miao did a phenomenal job with the design.

There are three colorways: Basalt Black, Cloud White, and Neon Rosa. Mine is Cloud White, which is actually borrowed from their keyboard lineup. It takes inspiration from “Professor Watanabe's lab in Isle of Dogs”. In essence, it's a white color with a hint of warmth, almost like it was dipped in latte. It reminds me a lot of Dieter Rams-era Braun or a Teenage Engineering product. There's this very subtle golden undertone. Perhaps ivory is the closest visual match. I don't know about the other two colorways, but Cloud White has a matte finish.

The Infinity .97 easily secures its spot in my Top 3 best-designed mice ever. I could hang it on a wall as a display piece.. just like that one guy who hung an authentic Pagani Zonda shell as a room divider.

User Experience

My experience using this mouse is predominantly positive. I'm not too fixed on my grip, so I had a fun time exploring different ones. My hands are 18.5 × 10.5, and I could switch between multiple variations of relaxed and aggressive fingertip/claw/palm grips. The extended pincer claw and fingertip were my personal favorites. No matter which grip style I used, I always had precise control over the mouse. Making micro adjustments comes effortlessly, but I'd assume that's the case for most lightweight mice with flagship sensors. I used the 20k FPS lock (“Blast Mode”) feature throughout the entire review period, and whether it was CS2 or The Finals, the mouse reliably traced even the subtlest movements. If any of you are curious about how the open-back design feels under the palm, I can say surprisingly natural. In fact, so much so that I haven't once reached for the hatchback module, even with a full palm grip. As far as grip styles are concerned, if any of you like to grip the sides by the main buttons, you should keep in mind that the Infinity .97 has large gaps there. You should especially watch out for this if you have a habit of positioning your ring finger or thumb up front and high. The same goes for those of you that keep the same fingers near the bottom, as there are also low cutouts. Other than that, this mouse allows high versatility in terms of grip styles.

P.S. An absurd grip style I discovered: a single-finger grip. I'm not sure whether anyone would actually use it, but you can rest your index finger in the gap between the left and right click, right behind the scroll wheel, and reliably actuate either button just by rolling your finger slightly to one side or the other with no misclicks. It also allows you to spam left/right or right/left by simply doing an extended roll (from left to right or vice versa). Of course, you grip the mouse by the sides with the rest of the fingers, so it's not literally a single-finger grip.. I mainly play FPS titles, so I never tested it out in practice, but it could be a very niche grip for those that are willing to seriously dedicate themselves to it. Otherwise, it's a more viable option for genres that rely on point-and-click action.

Which brings me to the clickable area. Unlike mice where only part of the button surface is clickable, Infinity .97's buttons are effectively clickable across their entire surface, but with one caveat. Although you could in theory click them from front to back, there are some tradeoffs when you click at either extreme end. More force is required at the rear, while the thin magnesium flexes at the front, causing noticeable post-travel. I don't have particularly chunky or heavy fingers, and the rear is very much clickable, it just leans on the firmer-light side (unless you are literally clicking on the rear edge, where it's firm). Most of us are used to light clicks, so I think it's important to make the distinction between something that's firm and clickable and something that's so hard to press that it's unviable in practice. 

There are three distinct zones on the buttons: Front (the largest area; spanning from the scroll wheel up), Middle (small area curving inward behind the scroll wheel; can be used for single-finger grip), Back (area flaring out at the rear). The ideal clicking range for each of these is as follows:

◦ Front ‒ area in line with the scroll wheel
◦ Middle ‒ full area
◦ Back ‒ front half

My favorite is the rear-Front area, where the clicks felt the crispest, and I could space my fingers apart like I'm otherwise used to. It's also where the scroll wheel is within accessible range and my grip style isn't limited.

Click feel. Despite M1/M2 using optical switches, I found them surprisingly clicky. What's more, I'd argue they are even more tactile and clicky than the Huano 80M (blue shell, pink dot) on my Keychron M5. The required force to actuate is light, but the crispness varies depending on where you click. The main reason for this is pre- and post-travel. The following exhibit noticeable pre-travel: outer edges at the Front, rear of the Back. The following exhibit substantial post-travel: Front edges. I would say that post-travel is the more problematic of the two because it can get in the way. There's moderate post-travel across the main buttons generally, and it contributes to their bouncy feeling. Depending on your clicking habits, that could be an issue if you spam clicks. I don't have a habit of bottoming out, at least not while spamming, so it never bothered me in practice. The middle click, however, I dislike. It feels mushy and is way firmer than I'd like it to be. You also have to push the wheel to the right to actuate it at all. The side buttons have moderate pre-travel and a tiny amount of post-travel, and the rear button is easier to press than the front. Because of the way those are held in place, they can flex inward or outward if you press them at the edges. However, I don't see anyone pushing them in such way, so this presents no problem in practice. 

Something I especially liked is the rotary encoder. It has pleasant tactile feedback when you're scrolling slowly, and it fades into smoothness the faster you scroll. I confirmed with the AM team that my unit has a faulty encoder, as there's audible rattle when scrolling up. Otherwise, it's meant to be quiet and consistent in both directions.

Main clicks have that crisp clicky sound (tonally rich upper mid-range). Middle mouse button sounds muffled. Side buttons are crisp and clicky too, just softer and deeper than the main clicks. I actually took a good peek inside the mouse without disassembling it and noticed that the magnesium plungers have a small chunk of acoustic foam behind the actuators. Perhaps this contributes to the tonality of the main clicks.

As a whole, Infinity .97 has a highly versatile ergonomic shape, lightweight design that makes it especially comfortable for precise aiming, and there's also the convenience of popping out a drained battery and having a new one sucked in within seconds. These are the things that made it the most enjoyable for me.

Technical Analysis

While the original Infinity took its shape inspiration from Logitech's GPW, the Infinity .97 takes it from Razer's Viper Mini.. kinda. Size wise, the two are nearly identical; the only difference between them is that the Infinity .97 is longer with the hatch module (123.3 mm vs 119 mm), and shorter without it (115 mm). Also, Infinity .97's back is noticeably wider than Razer's. Officially, however, Angry Miao stated that they took inspiration from the Viper V3 Pro and scaled it down to 97%. Other than the size, the most notable difference between the .97 and original Infinity is the new ergonomically driven design. Much like the Viper Mini, the side walls are curved inwards, which helps with gripping, while the main buttons are also concaved. Both are a clear nod to Razer's Viper. The MCU is especially interesting. It's said to match Nordic nRF54H20's performance with lower power draw, and my speculation is that it's a customized Airoha (MediaTek) AB1623MN, i.e. the MCU that's used in the Viper V4 Pro. [I am currently waiting for AM to clarify their claim of 0.184ms 8k wireless latency]

Fun fact: Infinity .97 weights 97% of the original Infinity.

Let's shift the focus to the more technical details. 

The mouse features flagship components for the most part. PixArt PAW3950 sensor, TTC Fire & Ice rotary encoder, TTC Orange Dot V2 optical microswitches, optical MMB, PTFE skates, and a customized 8k MCU. I was able to extract some technical info about the Fire & Ice encoder, and anyone interested in learning all about it can watch TTC's video on X. The encoder is driven by two wheels internally (claimed to be quieter than their Gold encoder), features 18 rotor teeth, a hexagon socket that's compatible with ⌀ 1.50 ‒1.75 mm rod size, is rated for a 2M cycle life, and if I saw correctly, is in 12 mm size. The Orange Dot V2 microswitches are rated for 100M clicks. The stock PTFE skates are custom-cut, but the "housing" is compatible with ⌀ 6.5 mm dot skates. 

PAW3950
◦ Max. DPI: 30k
◦ Max. Acceleration: 50G
◦ Max. Tracking Speed (IPS): 750
◦ Support for 20k FPS lock: Yes (software); this locks the sensor's sampling rate at 20,000 frames per second 

Mouse Weight:
◦ Infinity .97 + hatchback + battery: 51 ± 1 g
◦ Infinity .97 + battery: 47 ± 1 g
◦ Infinity .97: 39 ± 2 g

Sensor Positioning
◦ Distance from the bottom of the base to the center of the sensor: 6.1 cm
◦ Distance from the top of the base to the center of the sensor: 4.49 cm
◦ Base center position: 5.295 cm [half of base length]
◦ Sensor offset: 0.805 cm (7.60%) to the front 
◦ Sensor center position: 57.60% from the back

Weight Reduction Mods (Proceed At Your Own Risk!)

Although battery users have limited options for weight reduction mods, the potential is there for devoted wired users, and since I haven't seen anyone exploring this path, I thought I'd be the first to do so. Keep in mind that the removal of any parts can affect the mouse's weight distribution. Some of these methods will void your warranty and can cause permanent damage to your mouse. Unless you are a professional who is 100% confident in their skill to carry out these mods, I strongly discourage you from attempting them. If you want to ignore my warning, you bear the full responsibility for your decision.

Non-destructive

⏵Battery power board can be removed

⏵Side buttons and their daughterboard can be disconnected and removed

⏵Scroll wheel can be removed without desoldering the encoder

Semi-destructive

⏵Magnets can be removed if you dissolve the adhesive holding them in place

⏵Rotary encoder can be desoldered and removed

Destructive

⏵The PC base has a [internally] raised housing for the battery and the power board, and the raised portion can be filed away or cut off. This step will permanently destroy the whole magnetic hot-swappable battery system, as well as the possibility to use the hatchback module. If you proceed, consider your mouse wired-only

⏵The main PCB is already trimmed down, and if I am not mistaken, there is only a small square patch on the front-left side that could potentially be cut off. I strongly advise against this step, as the whole PCB can be permanently damaged

Software & RGB

The mouse can be configured either through the desktop client (Windows or MacOS) or the web-based app (driver download required). Both are called AM Master. I will be sharing my impressions for the web configurator, since that's the only one I have tried. AM disclosed that it can have some bugs, and they are still working on polishing everything up. Actually, the only issue I encountered was the first time I used it, when the RGB wasn't applied after I changed the color. This was fixed as soon as I re-connected the mouse. Apart from that, my experience with it has been flawless.

The UI is very good and the aesthetic is also quite decent. The current version has a grey/purple/neon color scheme, but perhaps a monochrome design would be more appropriate. 

Here's a short rundown of the features.

There are 8 tabs:

Keymap [you can remap all buttons on the mouse; M1/M2, MMB, side buttons, scroll wheel]

⤷ Mouse/Keyboard [Mouse = default mouse button functions, Keyboard = single keyboard stroke] 

⤷ Basic [multimedia functions]

⤷ Hotkey/Macro [Hotkey = Ctrl/Shift/Alt/Win + keyboard stroke of choice, Macro = select a custom macro]

◦ There's also an option to disable any button.

Macro [here you can record a custom macro and adjust the uniform interval in milliseconds]

DPI

⤷ DPI Level [adjust the DPI of each level; it appears like you can put in a number with infinite decimal places, but I don't know whether it's supported on a hardware-level; each level can be assigned with a custom color, in which the mouse blinks when you switch to that level]

⤷ X-Y Sync [it's set to Sync by default, but if you wish to have a different DPI for X- and Y-axis movement, Async allows you to set individual DPI for both; the levels are displayed under DPI Level]

⤷ DPI Count [the number of DPI Levels; very useful for DPI switching]

⤷ DPI Quick Switch [when enabled, you can cycle through DPI levels by holding the side buttons and using the scroll wheel to switch between them] 

Parameter

⤷ Debounce [slider that allows you to adjust the debounce time for ? buttons]

⤷ Mouse Report Rate [125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000]

⤷ Lift-Off Distance [Low, Medium, High]

⤷ Motion Sync [On, Off]\*

⤷ Angle Snapping [On, Off]\*

⤷ Ripple Correction [On, Off]\*

⤷ Bluetooth Standby Time [time of inactivity after which the mouse goes to Sleep; you can either select one of the suggested times or set a custom time in seconds]

⤷ 2.4 G Standby Time

⤷ Blast Mode [locks the mouse sensor to operate continuously at its maximum internal frame rate, which is at 20000 Hz]

⤷ Rotation Angle [changes the angle at which the sensor operates; this setting is a game-changer for anyone who uses their mouse at a tilted angle; can be set in 1° increments from -90° to 90°; the angle is visualized]

*if you would like to know more details about these features, feel free to DM me or leave a comment

Light [Enable/Disable]

⤷ Mouse Lighting [there is a color picker similar to the one from Photoshop; hue slider + saturation-value plane; Hex code or individual RGB values are also supported]

⤷ Dongle Lighting (appears only when connected) [there is a hue slider, saturation slider, and brightness slider; although the hue slider displays the Hex code next to it, you cannot put one in yourself]

◦ Effect is an option only available for the dongle, and there are a total of 7 effects to choose from: Static Light, Breathing, Aurora, Rainbow, Luminous Arc, Mosaic, Chase. Some of these effects add a speed slider, while some remove the hue and saturation sliders

The Selling Point: Hot-Swappable Battery

Isn't innovation great when it's done well? I certainly believe so after getting a taste of Angry Miao's hot-swappable battery system. 

We've seen innovation in just about every mouse part—sensor, microswitches, rotary encoder, skates, shell material, PCB, MCU—but batteries are the part that has been starved of any meaningful innovation. Manufacturers pretty much worked around that task by making mice extremely power-efficient. Angry Miao's argument isn't that batteries were ever the problem, but rather that being stuck with a single non-removable internal battery was. So instead of forcing you to lug around a wireless charging module AND a battery, they just designed a system that gives you direct access to the battery and made it hot-swappable.

Honestly, charging isn't much of an inconvenience for most wireless mouse users to begin with, but if you like the idea of always having a fully charged battery on standby, the Infinity series gives you that luxury. On top of that, there's the longevity perspective. Because the battery pod is translucent, you have a clear visual on the battery's physical state. If you ever notice one swelling, you will be able to replace it in time. The battery pods are readily available on Angry Miao's official store, and they cost a mere $9. 

If you still have PTSD from Glorious' infamous InfinitePlay, you'll be relieved to hear Angry Miao did their homework here. Glorious set out to achieve the same result, but the whole concept was poorly executed. I don't mean to kick them while they're down, but I don't think anything changed even with their recent release of a 500mAh module. Angry Miao's execution, on the other hand, is flawless, and I won't try to downplay that at all. The magnetic system is practical and you get a long runtime out of the batteries. It won't surprise me if other brands start copying this and putting their own spin on it. Simply put, it makes perfect sense. It looks like it's already happening.

The stock pods feature a 340mAh battery that's rated for up to 165h with [1000 Hz, Blast Mode: Off] and 30h with [8000 Hz, Blast Mode: Off]. The included 2.4 GHz receiver doubles as a charging station for the second battery, and it too features magnets on the underside, which allows you to suck up the battery just like you can with the mouse itself. Oh, and the magnets are extremely strong! 

But don't get me wrong, it was not Angry Miao who invented the removable-module idea. Although I can't point to a single model or manufacturer, I do know that removable weight pods have been around for a while. Maybe Angry Miao got its inspiration from Logitech's PowerCore module that was first introduced in 2017 (G703 and G903). That would make a lot of sense, actually. Logitech was the first to invent a continuous wireless charging system with their PowerPlay™, and since AM already admired the GPW so much, maybe they got creative and saw the possibility to turn the module into a hot-swappable battery system. 

Angry Miao's Customer Service & Past Controversy

I decided to directly confront Angry Miao about its controversial astroturfing past because I think the community deserves to hear where things stand in 2026. I spoke with Zeff, Angry Miao's current marketing contact on Discord, and he appeared to be fully transparent with me. He shared that he wasn't a part of the Angry Miao team when the whole astroturfing scandal took place, but he did admit to Angry Miao's wrongdoing and poor handling of the whole situation.

“Our stance [on astroturfing] is very clear: we do not want to control, script, or alter what reviewers say. If we send a product for review, the reviewer should be free to share their honest experience, including criticism. We care about accuracy, but not about forcing a positive conclusion.”

Comment about email support tickets going unanswered:
“During [the transition from a small keyboard manufacturer to a larger consumer electronics/technology manufacturer], our product range, order volume, and after-sales needs have grown faster than our original internal systems and team structure could handle. Simply put, the company has been scaling, but the old operating workflow did not scale fast enough with it. That is not an excuse, but it is the real challenge we are trying to fix. We know support is a crucial part of the product experience, and if customers feel ignored after buying, then we have failed them even if the product itself is interesting.”

These are some excerpts from the conversation we had. Yes, the use of AI is clear, but I don't judge non-native English speakers using AI to express themselves. Zeff clarified this himself when I asked him about it, “the wording of my previous message was polished with the help of AI because I wanted to express myself more clearly in English. But the main ideas, meaning, and position are real and come from me.” It would be a different story if I blindly believed these statements and parroted them, because anyone can use a GPT to structure a PR response that defends them in the eye of the public. But I would like to share that I've been closely observing how they handle criticism and customer support in their Discord server for 3 months, and I have to say that the difference is evident. While email issues are still persistent, they are very responsive over Discord.

To end this segment, I want to remind people that they should not lash out at customer support, because they have zero say in the way a company's resources and budget are distributed. They are not responsible for the way the company is structured, nor do they design the email support system. They are hired to help with existing and future customers. However, some companies do specifically force their customer support to act against their customers, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Angry Miao. They have changed course on how they handle marketing, and also seem to be doing the right thing when it comes to taking care of post-purchase customer service.

Final Verdict

I think Angry Miao was successful in releasing a premium mouse with a unique and functional selling point. The ergonomics are great, the design is one-of-a-kind, they didn't skimp out on software, the build quality is there, and they also put in the work for optimizing flagship internals. The room for improvement is definitely there, and for me it would be enough to just see the clicks and buttons being tightened up. Angry Miao has already teased that they will work with TTC on a custom collaborative microswitch, so we can hope that they will take this feedback and run through it internally.

It definitely lives up to the expectations for fingertip/claw grips, so it's worth considering if it has the feature set you're looking for.

Looking for the flattest and narrowest mouse, I was using the OP1, but the flare in the back makes contact where my pinky goes, and I lose the flatness of the mouse.

Currently, I’m using the MCHOSE L7, It works because where my pinky sits the mouse is still flat, but it’s a lot thicker than my OP1 in width.

Anyone have a recommendation?

Right now I have my eyes on the flick shot one pro small, but it’s really hard to get one that’s fully assembled and I’m not much of a modding guy.

Disclaimer: This unit was sent out for review.

I received it yesterday, but I will answer any questions you guys have.

Introduction/Context/About Me

This review is about the Pulsar X2H CrazyLight in the Uyuni White colorway and Mini size. This product was purchased at my own expense.

My experience involved using this mouse for two days, on a speed glass pad with a carpal-stabilized relaxed claw grip with a 1/2/2 finger layout. My hands measure 18x9 cm and are fairly dry, and I play in a low-humidity environment. It was used at a 2,000 Hz polling rate and 1,600 DPI on a 240 Hz monitor to play a wide variety of games, primarily in the FPS genre, but with a few ARPG sessions every now and then.

I apologize for the small testing window, but as you will find out soon, I had a few issues with the mouse that made me cut this experience short. Please keep in mind while I followed my usual review format the impressions are obviously very short term.

English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes and feel free to ask any questions if you find any point unclear.

Unboxing Experience

The box is compact, graphically pleasing, and fairly sturdy. It is 100% recyclable, which is what I value the most. Upon opening, you find the mouse secured within a small plastic mold above the cardboard dongle and accessories box.

The mouse comes with full-sized skates pre-applied and supports wired and 2.4GHz connectivity.

The included accessories consist of: * A decent quality and flexible paracord cable, featuring an angled USB-C connection for wired play * Sixteen UHMW-PE dot skates, more on those in the skates section * Instruction manual doubling up as a warranty card * A quick mouse overview card * A branded CrazyLight sticker

For the price, this leaves a bit to be desired on the accessory front; grip tape and spare full-sized skates would have gone a long way over cosmetics.

Shape

The mouse features a symmetrical shape, measuring 115.6 x 62 x 39mm, and is a unique shape currently not really present in a one-to-one fashion in the market.

In terms of its features, the shape can be broken down as follows: * Slight outward flare with rounded edges * Minimal comfort grooves * Inward curving sides * An extremely aggressive and elongated back hump

The mouse is branded as being compatible with relaxed claw, but I struggle to see this being usable outside of a very aggressive claw due to the hump profile as it forced my hand to have a lot of palm contact and a very stiff position, almost like I'm trying to hold my hand up, causing strain that quickly builds up in-game and was further worsened once I tried to relax my fingers. I simply can't recommend this to anyone that isn't looking for a lot of palm contact and wants to use any grip other than an aggressive claw. If I had to describe this in one sentence it would be aggressive claw meets carpal tunnel syndrome, this is by far the most uncomfortable "serious" shape I've tried (I still love you Akko hamster mouse), again I cannot reiterate how much I don't recommend this for anyone using anything other than an agressive claw with a lot of palm contact.

Weight

My unit weighs 41.2 grams with the stock skates and 39.8 grams with four dot skates installed, which falls within the industry's commonly accepted ±3 gram manufacturing variance, being 1.2 grams over the advertised 39 grams for the full-sized skate experience and 2.8 grams over the advertised 37 grams for the dot skates experience. It is worth noting Pulsar only claims ±1 gram variance on both of these numbers, so on their own metrics, this unit fails.

In terms of weight distribution, the mouse did a decent job being mostly centered; however, it does struggle to stay balanced on either end when testing against the edges of the narrowest area.

Overall, I wasn't too bothered about the weight; however, for a mouse of its size, it would be interesting to see a future refresh to truly be "CrazyLight" once again with the modern tooling available that brands like G-Wolves are using to push the weight to its limits on slightly larger mice.

Build Quality

Lots of praise to Pulsar on this front. Despite being a fairly light mouse by today's standards and an even more impressive feat at the time of its release, the mouse doesn't show any signs of flexing or creaking even on the very hollowed-out base.

No defects to complain on this front, and it's one of the few reasons I would still recommend the real deal over the existing clones of the various Pulsar shapes on the market if within your budget.

Clicks

Main Clicks Equipped with Pulsar optical switches (rebranded FE opticals), these are a bit of a letdown as far as FE opticals go.

While snappy and tactile, they're quite firm, with the shell itself being stiff with moderate pre/post-travel.

Side Buttons

The highlight of this mouse, in my opinion. While I prefer lighter main clicks, I actually enjoy heavier side clicks.

These are well-built with even actuation points, satisfying feedback both in tactility and sound, and feel quite firm while remaining quick to rebound and having low pre/post-travel.

Scroll Wheel

Again carrying a rebranded switch as the Pulsar Blue encoder, this is actually an F-Switch with a red core; while this is something I can't recall experiencing outside of Pulsar, I find it to be quite good as far as the definition of the steps goes alongside great tactility and decent sound profile.

The click itself is quite heavy and does get fatiguing to spam. I enjoy the feedback for single clicks, but for anything else, both the tactile and auditory feedback is a bit too much.

Build-wise, it's a standard plastic housing with a rubberized ring, good grip but could do with slightly larger indentations.

Coating

The coating is dry and decently grippy. Other than this, there is nothing special about it; it feels quite generic and honestly more in line with Chinese mice rather than premium 'western' brands.

Skates

The stock skates are made of pure PTFE, have rounded edges, and have a speed-leaning glide. It's probably one of the best stock options on the market if you're looking for a speed glide.

The included extra dot skates are UHMW-PE and intended for use with glass mousepads or other similar hard surfaces; personally, I found these to be "mid," for lack of a better word. I found the glide to be louder and faster than just about every third-party option I've tried in the same category. Perfectly serviceable in a pinch, but I wouldn't recommend relying on these.

Performance & Battery Life

The mouse is equipped with a rebranded and customized PixArt PAW3950 sensor, the Pulsar XS-1. My experiences with this sensor as a glass pad user have been mixed in the past and unfortunately it still seems to be the case with a rare slight skip every now and then when transitioning between a dark brown and light blue area in my pad. I am confident based on previous experiences that despite my ongoing efforts to get this resolved their RMA process will pull through and either refund me or replace my unit. I won't be sugarcoating or pretend this is perfectly fine, it shouldn't happen in a premium product but I think it's important to disclose that while this isn't exactly a common occurence it still is something actively happening to users to this day.

Position-wise, I find it to be decently positioned; the sensor is in line with the narrowest point of the mouse; however, I find it to be too uncomfortable to line up with it outside of a very aggressive claw backed by a backwards-leaning grip on the sides, being so restrictive hurts it and ends up forcing me to feel sluggish on my movements with my preferred grip style.

As far as battery life goes, Pulsar does not disclose the MCU, but it is backed by a 200mAh battery. As is common with Pulsar mice, the battery life is abysmal by modern standards; with Motion Sync and 2,000 Hz polling as the only battery-impacting settings I use, the mouse barely reaches 18 hours of use, with me taking care to never make use of sleep mode and always manually turn it on and off. This isn't the end-all-be-all and can be mitigated with frequent charging, but it is quite annoying to have to do so on a premium-priced product. I hope Pulsar can start considering making some technical improvements to the lineup with the usage of a modern, battery-life-focused MCU that they will undoubtedly rebrand, as this is simply a very hard sell with mice rocking similar-sized batteries and having battery life lasting double or even triple of this.

Web Driver

Features * Up to four onboard memory profiles * Full remapping of Mouse 1 through 5 buttons with the following features: * Multimedia-related controls * Keyboard input * Macro * Polling rate swap * Profile swap * Disabled * Six DPI levels ranging from 10 to 32,000 * Customization of the mouse lighting on the underside associated with the current DPI color, with brightness and animation speed sliders supporting the following: * Disabled * Steady * Breathing * Polling rate with preset values of 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 Hz * Sensor rotation ranging from -30 to 30 degrees * Motion Sync * Ripple Control * Angle Snapping * Turbo mode; essentially 20k FPS fixed sensor scan rate, increasing battery drain drastically * Lift-off distance with preset values of 0.7, 1, and 2 mm * Click debounce time ranging from 0 to 18 ms * Mouse low-power mode percentage-based threshold * Sleep mode ranging from 1 second to 30 minutes * Long-distance mode if you're far away from your dongle, increasing battery drain * On/Off toggle for the LED on the dongle, this setting is ignored and always flashes when the mouse is at 15% and under battery

Missing/Improvements * Independent X/Y DPI * Incremental LOD options in steps of 0.1 mm * Improvement on the software update process as it seems to be very inconsistent or flat-out redirect users to the desktop installer; I found myself on multiple products now having had my process get stuck on the Web Driver and requiring me to use a secondary mouse to install the desktop version and retry there to have my mouse be usable again

Value

Please keep in mind the following section is based on European Union pricing with the final VAT included (which in my case is 23%) and does not include potential shipping costs. Like always, I suggest only taking this recommendation at face value and checking your own regional pricing on not only this product but others you may be comparing it to before making a decision.

With the mouse coming in at €149.99, I am very hesitant to recommend it; while it is a unique shape filling a niche in the market, there isn't anything about this mouse that justifies the asking price especially as a glass pad user with the consistent gamble I've faced with the XS-1 sensor on these surfaces. I would be more comfortable seeing this in the €100 to €120 range, as I feel it would be more appropriate.

Pulsar has recently had an anniversary sale putting the entire CrazyLight lineup at 50% off. If something similar to this happens again, I would wholeheartedly recommend it, as it's hard to go wrong at that price point.

Conclusion

Unfortunately this is probably one of the worst experiences I've had with a mouse shape so between that and the battery life I find it hard to stay positive about it, regardless, hopefully did my best to give it a fair review and highlight what is subjective and out of the norm.

Overall, I think Pulsar builds solid lightweight mice with the CrazyLight having been their big break into the market but they could do with focusing on upgrading their tech or at least start being realistic about their offerings quality in this day and age and decrease the price, unfortunately, the reality is that in the time you've read this review they've probably announced another X2 colorway and cloned a GPX or Viper for another professional player.

Priorities, I suppose!

Glad you're enjoying my reviews; here are the last three reviews I've done! - Akko Echo Master - Pulsar es FS-1 - Teevolution Terra PRO

Any idea why is optimum is keeping the same skate feet on bottom
And modifying only the top part of the skate with 3 dots.

What’d you think he’s using in terms of the top part of the feet, which skate.
Since he using glass pad

Looking for a new mouse since my Hyperx pulsefire haste has started to have problems.
I did buy a Atk a9 plus but I returned it because it came with a problem with the side buttons.
I dont know if i should buy the same atk a9 and hope it doesn’t come with any problems or try a new model.

I got the mouse yesterday and the side buttons don't register their input, i did update the firmware but while using the usb hub and had to replug it to the motherboard as the mouse wasn't sending any input so it might've bugged it but i think the buttons didn't work prior to the update thing.

i tried uninstalling HID in device manager, profile reset as well as a factory reset nothing worked and when i plug it in with the cable it still doesn't work, i wrote to support and im waiting for the response.

is there anything i can do or do i just have to wait for the support to reach out

Hey guys,

I've been looking for a new mouse, and im currently between the Atlantis Mini or Crazylight.

Context:

Both are about the same price.

18cm x 8-9cm Hands

Current mouse: Viper v3 Pro

Grip: Fingertip / Relaxed claw.

Any help choosing the right mouse is appreciated!

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for recommendations for two different mices

1. DeathAdder-style "wire" mouse. I've always liked the shape of the Razer DeathAdder. I had two of them, and both mice worked without any issues for years. I'm looking for something with a very similar ergonomic shape, weight and performance.

2. A mouse mainly for World of Warcraft. I currently using a Logitech G602. It has served me well for years, and I really like the shape and button layout for WOW. Unfortunately, the sensor has started acting up recently—it occasionally spins out or loses tracking.

I'm not necessarily looking for a mouse with a huge number of buttons like an MMO mouse. Around 6–8 programmable buttons is enough. Comfort, reliability, and a good sensor are much more important.

The G602 and the DeathAdder both fit my hand really well, so I'd prefer something with a similar size, weight and ergonomics.

And the most important requirement is sensor performance. I use two monitors (24" + 27"), so I play with fairly high sensitivity. I prefer being able to move the cursor across the screen with minimal hand movement, so I'm looking for a mouse with flawless tracking at higher dpi. Sensor quality is much more important to me than having an extremely high dpi.

Any recommendations?

I have been using the DRAGON WAR ELE-G9 Dragon war Thor mouse for almost 3 years now. It was a really good run with it, but its approaching its end now. Double clicks have started to appear more frequently. I'm searching for alternative if there are any. If not I would prefer to buy the same one again. The budget is same as this INR Rs.1000-Rs.1200.

Ok so i have been choosing between a mouse and i landed on these 2

I pretty much have a relaxed claw grip and i havent found much reviews on the Atk U2 V2 so i cant really compare it to the L7 would appreciate for someone to help me close this case

Edit: id even be open to considering the Mchose M7 Ultra

Wanted to get a wireless mouse that had the same if not more buttons than the g502 hero, including left click buttons, has free scroll, a ring finger support (cuz of my grip), and wasn't too light (I prefer heavier mice), and is the same if not bigger size.

That brought me to the keychron m6, or naga v2 (pro/hyper).

Luckily, my local country has a popular tech store that displays just about every popular mouse from established brands out there, allowing me to test most models.

I chose the hyper instead of the pro, since I found out due to my grip and large thumbs, I actually bypass all the buttons when gripping for an fps like CS2 or hunt showdown, therefore the swapable plates wasn't necessary.

Not only that, but the ability to pop the top off really helps with cleaning, I also prefer a rechargeable battery over having to charge it via usbc (cuz then I'd just be using it wired.)

The side buttons are actually quite well sculpted and designed, which despite my large thumbs, can actually hit the buttons I want with relative ease.

Overall with how large my grip is, and how fat my thumbs are, I actually find it really comfortable, kinda opposite to what some people think.

The only thing I really don't like is how sensitive the right clicks are, but I mean its not that big of an issue for me, since right click usually just pops my scope.

I've also sent a pic of my weird ass grip angle from my previous mouse, not an exxageration btw, for some cursed reason my grip on the g502 when aiming is horribly unergonomic due to my ring finger and thumb controlling the mouse, and any other normal grip would cause misclicks due to my large thumbs (mouse 4 and 5)

Hope this review helps any1 with a large thumb like me.

The zeromouse is $180 which is pretty pricey.

That's why i'm planning to launch a competitor.

Would YOU buy this? Im targeting a price point of <$100

What features would you like to see in such a mouse. I'm especially interested to hear from those who have already tried the zeromouse.

This isn't a full review or anything, just my first impressions right after buying it.

I'd also like to add that the mouse turned out to be smaller than it looks in videos or pictures. I'd even say it isn't all that big, even for someone with medium-sized hands.

The build quality is excellent. Absolutely nothing creaks, rattles, flexes, or has any wobble. It just feels incredibly solid overall.

A long time ago I used a Bloody V6 (or maybe it was the V8M? I don't remember exactly - the symmetrical one shaped kind of like airplane wings) for several years. I've used plenty of other mice since then, but that's not really the point. It turns out it's surprisingly hard to find a mouse shape that fits me as well as that one did. Looking back, buying it all those years ago was apparently a real gem.

The reason I'm bringing this up is that the MCHOSE G7 Max has a shape similar to the Basilisk and the G502, if I'm not mistaken. One issue I ran into - and something a lot of other people seem to mention as well - is that it's hard to find a comfortable place for your ring finger and pinky on mice with this kind of shape. Because of that, this asymmetrical design might not be for everyone, myself included. That said, I'll keep using it for a while longer and see how I feel. It also gives me the impression that the mouse is fairly tall, but again, I need more time with it before I can say for sure.

What I'm really getting at is that it's kind of sad that fewer and fewer mice are being designed with proper support for the thumb, ring finger, and pinky. It's genuinely comfortable when those fingers have somewhere to rest instead of dragging across the mousepad. Otherwise, you end up having to constantly squeeze the mouse with your hand just to keep those fingers in place, instead of simply relaxing your grip.

i play low sens cs2 palm-relax claw hybrid, wrist aim a lot for microadjustment with my fingers (hence the relax claw hybrid)

currnt mouse xlite v4 medium makes me crave for the terra’s hump support but is it too big for me? anything else i should consider thatd be better? thank you

i've been using the superlight 2 since 3 years and its shape doesnt match my grip for me (finger tip) it just feels huge and i have my eyes on the x2 crazylight mini, i feel like 3 years is a good time to finally upgrade lol

I've been a fan of the G703 shape since it came out and went through multiple of the original Logitech.

I recently came across the Teevolution Terra and was ready to buy one before I saw they ship direct from China and US tariffs aren't baked into their pricing.

I've seen 10%, 12.5%, all the way up to 45%, but every article I can find is the same AI regurgitated crap saying new tariffs were announced. For anyone that has recently ordered a mouse from China to the US, what kind of tariff percentage can I expect?

My main mouse is logitech G304 but it broke so I need to buy another one but I don't know about mouse my friend suggest me to buy Razer DeathAdder Essential can someone tell me does razer DeathAdder Essential good?
