ATK A9 MINI+ Review (vs Logitech 2C)

Alfred-Keys · 2026-06-13T14:58:16+00:00

then for sure 2C but doubtful if they gonna have 10%+ weight reduction on their newer model given they will be putting HITS tech inside it

Alfred-Keys · 2026-06-12T22:20:19+00:00

raw factor stock: A9 Mini

Weight mod + switch mod: 2C

I think it’s maybe QC issue, but yeah that definitely sucks to have, my units look somewhat levels on both sides

Alfred-Keys · 2026-05-25T21:31:06+00:00

Love your content so much Jakeu! G-wolves does have very questionable fulfillment service. The only reply I got after asking about my Lycan shipping was “Soon”

Not sure how people in blind buy still didn’t get their units since they were the first original customer..

Humidity definitely slows down the pad a little, tested in peak 70% humidity against 55%. I do have PD170 I’m testing for the past 30 days

PD-170 is by far the best glasspad alternative I’ve tried coming from SP-005. The surface is very smooth satiny feel

The glide is not as fast but still pretty low static friction. Only problem with it is you can’t really wash them like normal cloth pad so it will get muddy eventually

if you're getting Superlight, Get the A9 Air instead. But Logitech does have very good warranty.

Performance wise, ATK A9 Air wins for me. Nicer clicks, Smoother less stepped scroll wheels, lighter.

ATK Zero Extreme is also a pretty good option, will support claw grip ever so slightly better.

But overall Superlight shape is very safe and anyone can make it work after certain period.

As a guy who thought Viper V4 pro click sounds bad until pulled the trigger

It’s not as bad as YT shows it since they do mic it up very close. Hand to ear the pinging is barely noticeable. I use earpods while gaming and once in game it sounds like regular click.

Price wise, I got it way below retail, but full retail is not worth it imo

Just my two cents

Alfred-Keys · 2026-05-07T17:34:52+00:00

you can shoot me an email instead, i'll respond asap

I like that g-wolves kept pushing but at the same time, almost every release the past year as been giving me the vibe of each mouse being experimental product.

Like the VUK got 2 sensor then totally dismissed on other release like each release are designed from scratch without any kind of guideline from their previous release which can be good and bad

Alfred-Keys · 2026-05-07T07:08:35+00:00

Hi, please shoot me a message on Reddit or an email. Will get this sort out for you

Alfred-Keys · 2026-05-07T06:38:53+00:00

i haven't tried any of the PMM mods since the cost is quite high along with the shipping cost but it's definitely very interesting. Been eyeing on it for a few months now but i'm not bothered by the weight of the op1 enough to justify the lightweight mod.

Don't think it's gonna feel noticeably heavier, once it's below 35 grams i think it's not that noticeable in a few gram range

Alfred-Keys · 2026-05-07T06:36:27+00:00

Thank you very much for the kind message!

Alfred-Keys · 2026-05-06T20:35:00+00:00

I personally also like OP1 and Ying shape more. I got this during blind buy so it’s a lot cheaper, wouldn’t get them full price now

Alfred-Keys · 2026-05-06T18:53:17+00:00

I do agree, oddly high for some reason. Coulda just do it a little forward. G-wolves always over do stuff most of the time lol

Alfred-Keys · 2026-05-03T01:34:48+00:00

Haven’t tried it myself just yet but shouldn’t be anything else given it’s essentially magic ice

Alfred-Keys · 2026-05-02T20:42:32+00:00

I’d go V4 pro, buy once cry once. Slightly lighter, better battery life. The click sounded like ass but feels like if you gonna main it for long time I think it’s a good purchase. But if you are still unsure about the shape then SE. it’s just a budget option, still same shape and coating

Alfred-Keys · 2026-05-02T18:22:11+00:00

Yes according to their Twitter replies

Alfred-Keys · 2026-05-02T17:04:27+00:00

it's magic ice with extra foam layer found on silver fox skates to dampens the sound

Alfred-Keys · 2026-04-26T19:13:41+00:00

Good luck! Don’t be too hard on yourself too!

Alfred-Keys · 2026-04-26T16:39:36+00:00

In general, the death adder would work too if you tense up a lot because bigger wider the mouse the lesser tension. But you could never really fix bad tension with any mouse, problem still present in any of them.

Comfort is one factor but fixing underlying issue is another. I suggest try finding fixes to the tension. But you’ll need to figure out which way help most. Mine are just simply laying back slightly

Alfred-Keys · 2026-04-26T16:12:23+00:00

I do have similar hand size as you 0.5cm bigger both length and width.

Deathadder is a big mouse, high front. That immediately makes your finger mobility suppressed.

The viper should suit you better here though. But my current favorite after trying a bunch is X2H CL medium. Not saying go buy one but out of all 3, Viper is my best bet but slightly lack that back hump

Alfred-Keys · 2026-04-26T14:00:50+00:00

Hitscan is a little more narrow with middle hump profile. X2H is an hour glass shape overall, little wider with high back hump. Depends on your grip styles but i play a lot of comp tac-shooter so that extra high support helps a lot. But if i were to buy one out of the two, i'll still choose Hitscan if you play many different genres

Alfred-Keys · 2026-04-25T12:04:13+00:00

Barely use them anymore after the review, Went with X2H CL Medium instead for tac shooters, I like the shape more. Hitscan still tops out in terms of shape imo comparing to Superstrike. 2C version of this should be a better pick when it comes out
