About this deal

Having had some issues with creaking and shell flexing in the past with Xtrfy mice (most notably on the MZ1) I paid close attention to how the mouse felt when using it, but I have to give credit where credit is due: my copy is completely flawless when it comes to the build quality. Sensor and Everyday Performance After the M4, M42, and MZ1 Wireless, which merely made already established wired mice wireless, Xtrfy presents an entirely new shape with the M8 Wireless. It is not often that I struggle to find comparison mice for a review, but the M8 Wireless is such a case. The best comparison I can come up with is "sized-down Logitech G Pro X Superlight," although this is still more of an approximation than a description. Of particular note is the exceptionally low front, though I found that this has less of an impact than anticipated, as the fingers typically don't sit right at the front, and the main buttons sit significantly higher elsewhere. In any case, it is nice to see Xtrfy innovating and taking risks in the shape department. Aside from the odd charging port placement, there’s nothing that eye catching about the M8, and I mean that in a good way. Xtrfy has finally gone ‘full performance’ with their mice and ditched the RGB elements as well as the holes, and that’s a design choice that I can only applaud. I am pretty neutral about holes in a mouse myself (I’m not bothered by them unless the finishing is absolutely horrible) but I do know that a lot of people don’t like the feeling of a mouse with holes, so it’s good to see that Xtrfy are now showing that they can also produce lightweight mice without having to go for the cheese grater method. I wanted to give my impression on this mouse, but with one specific angle in mind : mice are tools.

Overall, we are always positive about changes and alternatives to familiar things – it is definitely worth a try. The charging port could be made a bit easier to access, but that is also rather a minor issue thanks to the quite long battery life. Professional gamers need products they can trust to perform at their peak. That's why Xtrfy has developed their wireless technology to be lag-free and built the M8 Gaming mouse with Pixart's most high-performance gaming sensor 3395. If that wasn't enough, the mouse lasts up to 75 hours on a single charge, which means you can play an entire lan event without recharging the mouse.Something that felt a bit less impactful to me than I perhaps first expected was the button height. I am someone who prefers to have his trigger fingers closer to the mousepad as opposed to further away from it, so I’m a big fan of the fact that this mouse allows you to basically place your fingers on the mousepad itself, but I found that my grip didn’t allow for that to happen unless I went full palm. I use a slightly tilted claw grip (and I have 18.5×10 cm hands, for reference) and for me the button height felt a little inconsequential. The buttons do make this mouse feel even safer when it comes to the shape, though. Basically the entire front portion of the mouse is made out of button, so you’re free to place your fingers anywhere you want to place them, making it so that you can use a wide variety of grip styles comfortably. The Xtrfy M8 Wireless Ultra-light Gaming Mouse is a top-class wireless gaming mouse that offers unbeatable performance and a unique, ergonomic shape. With its low front profile, the M8 Wireless provides better control and accuracy when playing. In addition, the button height is as low as 4 millimeters on the front, which allows the fingers to be placed closer to the mouse pad for more precise movements. The Cherry Xtrfy M8 Wireless is an all-around successful product. The materials are well chosen, the sensor is a high-end product, and the shape is innovative. Of course, some aspects are debatable – I personally could not share the feeling of being more precise because the front is deeper – however, other hand and grip shapes may fare differently.

PixArt’s 3395 optical sensor that’s used as the brains of the M8 is one of the latest and greatest sensors out there, and this one (predictably) performs flawlessly. It’s also implemented perfectly, so this mouse will perform exactly like you’d expect a gaming mouse in 2022 (and beyond) to perform. Xtrfy’s wireless implementation has been proven to be pretty much perfect in the past, and it’s the same here. I experienced no dropouts, no issues with the mouse going to sleep (or not waking up) at annoying moments, and the latency is on par with what you’d expect these days. This is Xtrfy’s first completely solid mouse, and with it coming in at a very light weight of 55 grams it’s built really well. The bottom plate flexes a bit when applying a lot of pressure to it (this part of the mouse never experiences that kind of pressure when using it normally though, so that’s of absolutely no concern) but other than that the M8 is completely solid. It’s also completely quiet when tapping or shaking the mouse. Tastatura mecanica gaming Xtrfy K5 Compact RGB Transparent White, US Layout, Kailh Red, K5-RGB-CPT-TPWHITE-R-US The first thing I thought when I unboxed the M8 was ‘where does the cable go’? The mouse is wireless, but even wireless mice need to be charged at times, and that’s usually done at the front. With a button height of just 4mm that’s obviously not an option, so the charging port has been moved to the side of the mouse. It’s a bit of a quirky thing to see, but I’ll speak more about my experiences with this new design later on in the review. To tie in with the last point, the “missing” software – personally we don’t find this wrong. In most scenarios, you configure the mouse once to your liking, then it remains in the configuration. Do you really need to load your PC with additional software for this? Sure, it might take a minute longer, but not having to allocate memory and computing capacity definitely has its charm.

Conclusion Rounding all of this off we see a scroll wheel that feels pretty much perfect: there’s a medium amount of tactility between steps, and the textured and rubberized wheel is quiet when using it and easy to press. Xtrfy has never been a brand that plays it safe when it comes to their mice. Rather than just copying whatever is the most popular shape on the market at any given time, the Swedish brand opts to go for original designs and follows its own path.

Speaking of, Xtrfy cites a battery life of 75 hours, which is the same as previous releases with the PAW3370. However, where previous models used a 500 mAh battery, the M8 Wireless is only using a 300 mAh one. Since the PAW3395 is only marginally more power-efficient than the PAW3370, there is no way the M8 Wireless could last the same 75 hours. Given the difference in battery size, I'd expect the M8 Wireless to clear the 50 hours mark, but not more. Charging at least is reasonably fast, and the charging cable is flexible enough to allow charging while playing. The only irritating part when doing so is the position of the USB connector on the mouse, which has been moved to the right side, as the very low front doesn't have enough space. Surprisingly enough, I got used to the uncommon position pretty fast, and didn't find myself bothered by it during play.

Cân của mình cho biết nó nặng đúng 55g, cân nặng được khẳng định bởi Xtrfy. Cho dù có cùng kích cỡ, có thể thấy M8 Wireless nhẹ hơn nhiều so với M42 Wireless. Thiết kế hình dáng của M8 The shape isn’t exactly what makes this mouse so good though. There are plenty of fantastic shapes out there. What makes this mouse good is the fact that the buttons are pretty much perfect, the scroll wheel feels great, the feet are very decent, and the whole thing is built like an absolute tank with no creaking or flexing, all while coming in at a mere 55 grams. Top that off with the inclusion of a 3395 sensor, flawless wireless performance, and that aforementioned safe shape and you’ve got a mouse that’s extremely respectable.
