About this deal

With that out of the way we can go to my first impressions. To be honest, my real first impression was ‘ again?’This is the fourth version of this mouse that I’m reviewing, but I don’t think that that’s necessarily a bad thing. This company listens to its customers, and those customers asked for an RGB version(which they delivered some time ago) and have mentioned a couple of updates they’d like to see over the past few months. All of that culminates into this mouse, which is the new flagship XM1 and as such will replace the older versions. I know that some people will be a bit miffed: ‘ I justbought the XM1 and now they come out with a new version already?‘ is a comment I can basically already hear some people type, but I think that’s the wrong way to look at it. The XM1r is a refresh of the XM1 Gaming Mouse. Available in an additional two editions, it has an updated PixArt PAW3370 optical sensor and custom-sorted Kailh GM 8.0 switches. It also sports a hybrid skate design and all new firmware and software developed in Germany. In case the flashing process fails with the XM1 being unresponsive and both LEDs blinking Red, hit the "Update Firmware" button once again using the keyboard or a second mouse, that is not an XM1 (otherwise The XM1r is a refresh of the popular XM1 series of gaming mice and the latest innovation from Endgame Gear. The XM1r offers user-requested features and improvements and is engineered for maximum performance to ensure an utmost accurate and responsive gaming experience. You said you prefer the VAXEE ZYGEN NP-01 over the g pro wireless, even though you like it being wireless.

The User may terminate the Agreement by deleting the Software or by declaring the termination towards PGW. As I mentioned earlier, the XM1 series has kind of made a name for itself as the ideal claw gripmouse. I agree. The shape seems to be tailormade for people who operate with a claw grip (or use a hybrid that’s predominantly claw) but if you have larger hands you can definitely use this as a fingertip mouse, and it is also great as a palm mouse for people with smaller hands. Thanks to its safe shape (as long as you don’t mind the wide tail end) this will suit a big variety of grip types, in other words. A contributory negligence on the part of the User will be of consideration when assessing PGW’s liability. Contributory negligence on the part of the User according to this Agreement shall be assumed in the case of non-compliance with the User’s rights and obligations. MPC and MPX are both speed oriented pads with surfaces made from Cordura fiber. MPC features a natural rubber base and the MPX comes with a silicone base. Cordura is a very durable material with water and dirt repellent properties.

On the bottom you originally find four small feet, but there is room (and cutouts) for two larger ones as well. I almost immediately went with those, as I personally prefer the glide feeling of larger feet, but it’s nice to see that neither set was treated as an afterthought. As you can see in the picture of the feet there are cutouts for both types, meaning that you don’t have to awkwardly slap one set onto the bottom plate somewhere for it to work out.

Make sure your Endgame Gear XM1r is connected, in case you have more than one, only connect one of them The cable has seen a bit of a change. According to Endgame Gear they’ve now made it more durable which, if you know your cables, means that it’ll be stiffer. When comparing this cord to the one that you get on the XM1 v2 it indeed feels a bit stiffer, but even so it’s still one of the best cables on the market. It aces the old ‘flexibility test’ (whereby you move the cable all around and see if the mouse moves much) and some people would even argue that a tiny bit of added rigidity is a welcome addition to this cable, seeing as some had issues with the more flexible cable ending up underneath their mouse after an aggressive and large swipe.

As far as the software goes: this wasn’t available when I was doing my testing so I can’t get into it too much. Endgame Gear did tell me that it’s going to have all the bells and whistles such as LoDadjustment, the ability to create macros, and so on, and on top of that you’ll be able to separately tweak the X and Y sens, enable angle snapping, and what not. I will update this section once I’ve gotten to test the new software program.

It is a bit of a shame that I don’t get to test the new side buttons though. Build Quality and Cable

In case the flashing process fails with the XM1 RGB being unresponsive and both LEDs blinking Red, hit the "Update Firmware" button once again using the keyboard or a second mouse, that is not an XM1 RGB (otherwise it will more or less randomly flash one of them, but not necessarily the one you wanted to flash). In even rarer cases, un-plugging and re-plugging the XM1 RGB from the USB port is needed to run the flashing process again after it failed. it will more or less randomly flash one of them, but not necessarily the one you wanted to flash).

I don’t have any scientific equipment to test these ‘behind the comma’ differences in reaction speeds, so for me personally there’s not a lot of difference between the actual ingame performance of the XM1rand the regular version. This might be different if you use an XM1 as your main mouse (and you’re, as such, more accustomed to how it feels and performs after using it for hundreds of hours) but I have a really hard time believing that the average user will notice any perceptible difference.
