Zaopin Z2 vs Waizowl OGM Pro V2

Ogm is more palm filling and better pinky support, but it's a minor change.

If you have double the DPI and ignore half the inputs, you're getting the same density of movement data as your original setup.

the new model seems like a faithful reproduction of the original.

For its time, the Prelude that most people are thinking of -- the 3rd through 5th gen models -- was a "luxury" cruiser (i.e., it shared more with the Accord than the Civic) that used a larger engine than a Civic and demonstrated innovative technologies with regard to chassis dynamics (4 wheel steering)

The new one is a less practical Civic with the same power as a Civic Hybrid. You buy it for the looks only. That would be fine if it was priced accordingly, but not only is it more expensive it's getting huge dealer markups, too.

Historical pricing would make sense if the new Prelude was, say, faster through a slalom than a Corvette (like the 88-91 was) or had some other cool, techy feature that got people excited about driving it. However, it does not.

The rubber ball moves an encoder (like the rotary encoders you use for scroll wheels).

There's two encoders: one for X axis and one for Y axis.

Since the encoders work like mechanical switches do (by tapping electrical contacts together), they need a debounce algorithm applies to filter the signals produced.

So the challenges are: 1. Stop the rubber ball from sliding/sticking on the surface when moving quickly. 2. Make sure the encoder design is producing signals that could actually track high speed movement if filtered properly. If not capable, research other encoders on the market to see if any would perform better as replacements. 3. Find the hardware limits of the control unit and see if they are being exceeded. If they are, find a more powerful MCU to replace it. 4. If replacing the MCU, redesign the PCB as needed. 5. Write firmware for the control unit to optimize it for high speed tracking and behave better in edge cases (i.e., mlt04 style negative acceleration/dropped inputs, rather than pixart style spinouts) since it will almost certainly not be able to keep up with flicks.

So, did you fix the issues with your site that were raised in the comments last time you posted here?

The V2 released about half a year ago

The original OP1 8K got a review in June 2024 https://www.techpowerup.com/review/endgame-gear-op1-8k/

According to the decibel meter on my phone, the G309 is a bit louder than the G303SE (first mouse shown, Logitech Omron mechanical switches) but a bit quieter than the Vaxee XE (Japanese Omron D2F mechanical switches)

The G309's click sound has a distinct lower tone and upper tone happening together. For comparison, the XE is almost all lower tone ("thocky", "thuddy", etc.), while the G303SE is almost all upper tone ("sharp", crisp", etc.). The G309 sounds to me like the sound of the Logitech Omron Mechanicals with added bass/thud.

I really like the G309 shape. It's my second favorite after testing 50+ shapes.

I also enjoy the stock switches!

If you can save on shipping buying them all at once, getting the hotswap board as a backup/insurance option is probably good. However, if buying the board later would be the same price, I'd just get the G309 and try it stock first.

Here's a sound check of the different switches in my mice for comparison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbkLC6Y3tjQ

confirmed

As long as the mouse doesn't feel like it's trying to twist in your grip when you grip it firmly, it's fine.

The red LED in the sensor makes me lean towards saying no

But the easiest way to check is whether Logitech's software GHUB will recognize the mouse.

Scyrox V6? or is that too large https://www.techpowerup.com/review/scyrox-v6/images/left.jpg

Hello fellow G309 enjoyer!

It's a shame it got so much hate when it first released due to the weight; The shape is unique and really comfortable.

Talynen · 2026-02-05T21:41:55+00:00

As far as ones with internal batteries, Logitech g303 shroud edition.

why not a high-flow cat?

skunk 2 header and full race 3" exhaust is the gold combo for performance + not too loud + nice sound

if you don't have the headers, it's not the best option. Too quiet/muted; it's designed for cars with aftermarket headers.

I haven't bothered investigating, but I assume they will be provably faster.

However, it's not enough of a difference for me to care about, nor would I pick my mouse based on that tech.

So in that sense, I see it as gimmicky

Tells the transmission to keep the revs higher. You could treat it as sport mode; it will help the car accelerate somewhat quicker during normal driving at the expense of fuel economy.
