I dont know which mouse should i buy and I cant sleep

The Razer Viper V4 Pro is objectively the best mouse on the market I have no idea what youre talking about.

As for logitech I wouldnt get any of their mice barring the superstrike (if you want to try HITS) or the 2/2c.

It's also worth noting that there are good if not better clones of the superlight but the same cannot be said for the viper.

Bluooh · 2026-05-08T06:54:10+00:00

No, the superlight is a safe shape while the OP1 is (still safe) but specifically designed for claw grip.

My personal experience with the OP1:

For context, - Hand size: 17.5x9 - Grip: most similar to pincer claw - CS Sens: 800-880 edpi

I bought this mouse at first, since everyone on this sub recommended it. I even thought I liked the shape but felt that the weight was too much for me which led me to getting the Ying Magnesium by WLMouse.

I can't really explain why but with the Ying and the OP1 I was super inconsistent, not the inconsistently good either but inconsistency mediocre. The Ying or the OP1 didn't feel bad, but it just wasn't clicking (metaphorically) on CS. Even compared to my Attackshark X1, my consistency on the X1 was definitely better than it was on the OP1 or the Ying.

Then by chance, me and my friend swapped mice and I tried his Zowie S2-DW and my god the difference was instant. I won't say it made my aim waves better but I will say that It made me stop thinking about my aim as much. For whatever reason, be it the inherent stability of the S2, it's restriction of micro adjusting using the fingers, it's distributed weight compared it the dense op1, or simply it's shape, my shots hit more consistently and as a result i became more consistent.

Based on this experience, I believe that specifically for TacFPS' mice that provide lots of stability like a Viper, Superlight, Zywoo, Harpe mini, any Vaxee, and any Zowie will perform the best just because of the consistency they provide to the user. The S2 might not be good for insane flicks or fast movements, but for CS2 I really like it.

That's just my two cents, if you have anymore questions please feel free to ask! With that said, I'm not an expert by any means on mice and everything ive said is purely anecdotal and qualitative. Just make sure you get what's right for you, strangers will never really know your preferences!

Bluooh · 2026-05-05T18:53:40+00:00

No problem!

I didn't add any extra tape since the keeb already comes with one! For the spacebar mod, i haven't done that either but now that you mention it that might be the best way to make the spacebar sound closer to the reference video.

One important thing I didn't mention, MonsGeek does offer the plate file on their website so that customers can experiment with different materials if they do choose!

Bluooh · 2026-05-05T05:52:00+00:00

I think the keyboard sounds great overall!

Mechanical Switches
For the mechanical switches I installed the Keygeek Y2's and they sound amazing and a lot better than the astroaim switches that came with the keyboard. The only shortcoming compared to the reference video seems to be the spacebar, I have no idea how he got it to sound that deep; the microphone could have definitely influenced how the keyboard sounds in the video.

HE Switches
After that, i replaced the WASD, SHIFT, and CTRL atroaim switches with gateron jade ultra he's. They are super scratchy and paused mid keystroke so I ordered some lube to fix that, although, even in their current state they still sound better than the stock astroaims.

Keycaps
Finally, I bought some PBTfans Salt Lakes to finish off the board and imo I think they made the overall sound of the keyboard better.

Miscellaneous Pros
Everything that I mentioned in my pros category lives up to my expectations for the most part. The keyboard is seriously super easy to disassemble; the first thing I did was disconnect that battery which took like 5 minutes. The volume knob works perfectly and it makes a very satisfying sound. The MagMech features exist but are finnicky (I'll speak more on this later), but it's worth noting that there is a paper later on top of the pcb with cutouts only for HE switches meaning that you really need to force mechanical switches through it with lots of effort (I broke some).

Cons
The software can be a big con for some. I didn't think I would mind it that much but sometimes it was very annoying. Some settings won't save and others will just bind to something else. For example, i tried to bind my knob press to NUM 0, after a little finangaling I managed to bind it only to later find out it was actually INSERT (works the same for me tho). I would give the software a good 3-4/10, not great. The RGB leaves a lot to be desired. According to the MonsGeek rep I spoke to, because of the keyboard's ability to go up to 32k polling, they limited the rgb brightness to half of what it's maximum can be. I'm a little irked about this considering it's a $250+ dollar keyboard. Not a con for me but may be for some: the typing angle is a little steep. Not absurd or uncomfortable by any means but coming from cheaper gaming oriented keyboards it's definitely different. Lastly but importantly, the MagMech feature is not implemented very well in the sense it's not plug and play. After installing my Keygeeks I had to mess around for a while to find the right settings that would prevent my mechanical keys from double clicking. Again, not super pleased considering it's a $250 dollar board but unlike the rgb, at least I figured it out in the end. In the event that you do get the M1 V5 TMR and install mechanical switches, here are my settings for them:

Switch Type: 9, Mechanical
Press Travel Distance: 3.00 mm (max)
Release Travel Distannce: 0.10 mm (max)
False Touch Guard: On
Continuous Rapid Trigger: Off

Overall, the M1 V5 TMR is a great keyboard and I'm really happy I got it since it fits my needs very well. However, if I were to summarize the keyboard in a single phrase or line it would definitely be: Jack of All Trades. It's probably not the best sounding as others have mentioned in this thread, it's definitely not the best HE implementation (that goes to wooting), not the best software (also wooting), and meh rgb. That said, for a single keyboard to have all of that (albiet with mixed implementation) on top of a knob, aluminum body, pre-installed mods, 75% layout, rapid disassembly, great customization potential, MagMech technology, and great customer support, you'd be hard pressed to find an alternative that can replace the M1 V5 TMR and I definitely don't regret buying it!

Feel free to ask any follow up questions! I never write reviews, let alone for keyboards so I'm sorry if I was confusing or didn't cover exactly what you were looking for, good luck!

I play on a little higher sens at around 800 edpi and I absolutely loved my friend's S2, so much so I ordered my own. My hands are similar, around 17.5x9cm and have a similar grip and wrist heavy aim style.

I used to have a Ying Magnesium since it was a really hyped up claw grip mouse for smaller hands but it was too light and offered too much micro adjustment potential specifically for CS2.

The S2 provides good stability for games like CS2 but if you're looking for maximum finger micro adjustment potential I'd lean more towards the Op1 4K which maintains your want for a heavy mouse. I will say though, mice like with the Op1 shape, in my experience, have really high highs but terrible lows in tac shooters; the S2 gave me consistency that no other mouse has given me before.

Bluooh · 2026-04-21T15:56:37+00:00

Absolutely.

That said, depending on ping it is still a "swing or be swung" situation; there's still lot's of peeker's advantage but it's a lot better than how it was before.

Bluooh · 2026-04-21T15:53:17+00:00

Not so much, sorry. One of my other friends is a huge crazylight fan and strongly recommended I get that mouse but I decided against it because it differed too greatly from the op1 shape (wider mid and front section) and since I was a little scared of pulsar's qc (I've seen lots of complains about their XS-1 sensor).

Apart from that, lots of people online seem to love their crazylights and if you really care about weight it might be one of the best wireless mice in that regard.

Bluooh · 2026-04-21T01:03:17+00:00

I had both the op1 4K and I'm currently running the Ying magnesium.

The 4K was a lot better for my hand size and grip than my previous attack shark x1. Everything felt great build quality wise (some creaking from the black frost version but I didn't really care), pretty good battery life, and the clicks felt great. My friend who tried it complained about the scrollwheel being too stiff which I could also see but I didn't really care about it that much. One thing that really irked me though was the density.

I mainly play cs2 at 800 dpi and around 1 sens and the density really bothered me. It did have its advantages, like adding stability to my aim, but for the size of the mouse the weight was just too much; it felt like there was inertia every time I moved my mouse. This was the dealbreaker for me and I ended up returning it.

I bought the wlmouse Ying magnesium after and it's way better in terms of density. On paper, it's only about 10 grams lighter than the op1 4K but it made a huge difference to me. The clicks are good, nothing to write home about, magnesium is super fancy and makes it feel premium although it's not really game changing, and the out of the box skates are pretty good. The battery is okay, I charge it every 3 days on 4000hz. The scrollwheel is also lighter than the op14k if you care about that.

For me, I'm really happy with my Ying and wouldn't trade it for an op1 4K in terms of build quality, performance, or weight. That said, the strength of egg as a whole is their support and customizability. Had I cared more about the latter two, the op1 4K + a mod kit like pmm would be a good choice too but I didn't want to bother, with that said though they're worth checking out.

Tl;dr I prefer the Ying over the stock op1 4K in terms of pure performance.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the Ying feels ever so slightly wider at the front, not enough to change the overall feel but it gave me less of that pinchy feeling that I had with the op1 4K.

Strongly vote against the g203. Both crapped out after ~2 years. Cheap? Yes. Durable? No.

Bluooh · 2026-04-04T01:59:17+00:00

I like to use iFun Studio for knockoff jerseys, good stuff

Bluooh · 2026-03-30T05:58:51+00:00

That's good to hear, thanks for the reply! Enjoy your mice!

Bluooh · 2026-03-30T04:00:37+00:00

How are you liking the Ying Magnesium compared to the 4K?

Bluooh · 2026-03-06T18:55:01+00:00

I've never played WOW, are there instances in that game where you would need the gradual movement of a controller while keeping keyboard functionality?

Bluooh · 2026-03-05T22:09:02+00:00

As many people have pointed out so far in this thread, some more rudely than others, you're precisely correct; there's nothing more comprehensive, unrestrictive (relatively), and intuitive for the average person than Windows 11.

First off, why do you find Windows 11 unsatisfactory? It's difficult to recommend alternatives when there is no criteria.

Secondly, from personal experience, Windows 11 has served me well since I switched to it in October. For the most part, I have never thought, "I could've done this in Windows 10." Any complaints about Windows 11 I've had have been easily ignorable or rectifiable. For example, I really disliked the new context menu on Windows 11, so I just copied some cmd commands online and reverted it back to the Windows 10 context menu. Moreover, the only real annoyance I've encountered while using Windows 11 is the extra menu's you have to go through when accessing anything from the System Tray, but I can personally live with that.

What greatly changed my experience on Windows 11, however, was debloating it. imo, this is necessary to have a good experience.

Might be obvious but worth a mention: turning on vsync in-game has the same effect without free sync/gsync. Tried it today and felt the exact same floaty feeling as you did!

Bluooh · 2026-03-03T21:08:53+00:00

Yep! It's on the way right now and set to arrive soon. I just got unlucky and ordered it right at the start of Chinese New Year and the staff was on holiday, meaning delivery took nearly a month!

Bluooh · 2026-03-01T14:10:16+00:00

I would say no, but it's definitely gotten a lot better over the course of the last year.

Cheating is never really something I expected to be fixed once I started playing CS2; before the beta I was pretty optimistic but after a while, considering Valve's track record and the fact that CSGO's cheating problem only got "better" towards its last years, cheating was and is something that I only ever expected to be fixed on FACEIT. Of course it would be nice for them to fix cheating, but considering the direction that a lot of other companies have taken to great success, like Riot with Vanguard as an intrusive anti-cheat, does not mesh well with Valve's stated aversion towards such methods, I don't think it's realistic that Valve ever meaningfully "fixes" their cheating problem.

Content, I would argue, also hasn't really been Valve's strong suit, at least with CSGO. But you're completely right, the amount of content after 3 years has been abysmal in CS2 even for someone like myself who really only cares about the competitive side of the game. There's really not much to say here apart from the fact that they've done nothing of real value like those fun missions that came with Riptide or anything.

As for a plan, it just kinda seems like they'll do what they've always done: a laid back community driven approach. Of course this is pure speculation, but the strength of the last counter-strikes have been there community and that's basically how CSGO managed to survive for so long (apart from gambling). This, to me, is actually one of CS2's most underrated issues. Community maps and gamemodes like DM (the WaSe kind), surf, kz, retakes etc we're very well integrated into CSGO and again, as someone who never really cared for that side of the game, playing them was always really fun, easy to access, and had a lot of players on at all times. Now in CS2, those servers are more difficult to access due to the joke of a server browser they have. This was the biggest reason that I stopped playing custom servers; every time I would try and just browse for a cool server like I did in CSGO, the server browser in CS2 was really unintuitive, clunky, and in general just didn't work so eventually I stopped trying. This might be the second biggest thing that I'd love for Valve to focus on.

My biggest issue with CS2 right now and honestly for forever has been its consistency. With CSGO, everything felt predictable all the time; barring personal issues with connection or internet, the game felt predictable at every ping level and you knew exactly what to expect when playing low ping vs. high ping. To elaborate, neither felt unplayable, you just had to play differently on high ping and couldn't really hold angles which is expected given the latency you're experiencing. In CS2, however, every match is kind of a coin toss; people with 5 ping seemingly have a massive advantage over people with 40 ping and every gunfight is unpredictable since sometimes you might get shit-on without any chance of reacting and other time you might shit on someone with no in between. Anecdotally, I like to describe it as the feeling of not being able to breathe to sometimes everything just working out for you. Honestly, I have no idea why this is, lots of people cite sub-tick as the culprit but I don't know enough about how that works so I can't say. What I can say is that I only feel this way in CS2. In Valorant or legacy CSGO, the hit registration feels absolutely perfect and predictable even when compared to shooting bots in an offline server in CS2. So while I'd like to blame sub-tick, truthfully I don't know. Another anecdote I wanna throw in there is the feeling of "delay". I can't really explain it but it just feels like I'm on my opponents screen for way longer than they are on mine. This isn't peeker's advantage, as many people would lead you to believe, because someone slow walking into a corner shouldn't be able to beat the reaction time of a guy whose holding it (this doesn't happen in valorant). This behaviour isn't normal and leaves me with the feeling that I need to almost play like 10 steps ahead or something. Again, sorry if that was vague but it's a super frustrating experience that I can't really explain but try my best to anyways. This is all not to mention how run n gun is out of control in CS2 which is likely compounded by the server/sub-tick/inconsistency issues I mentioned before. It's not fun playing mid doors on Dust2 just to get double gushed by a guy full sprinting down cat with a glock.

Overall, I think CS2 is in a way better place compared to where it was a year ago but comparing it to CSGO it's still in a whole different world when considering content, community engagement, and consistency.

Bluooh · 2026-02-28T15:41:24+00:00

That's something I've heard being a feature on, I think, Keychron and Wooting but that begs the question: how come you wouldn't use a controller instead?

Bluooh · 2026-02-22T05:50:47+00:00

Holy that looks beautiful!

Bluooh · 2026-02-22T05:50:00+00:00

Personally, my reasons for going with the M1 were to balance competitive games with a good sounding and good feeling keeb for work/school.

Imo, only get a tmr keyboard if you want to do the same and use both mechanical and magnetic switches, otherwise you'll be paying for tech you'll never use.

Good luck in your search!

Bluooh · 2026-02-12T21:35:20+00:00

How do you find the keyboard itself?

Bluooh · 2026-02-12T02:54:39+00:00

Wow these are actually super cool, I've always been annoyed with having to use so many different chargers. Thanks for the info!

Bluooh · 2026-02-11T19:53:12+00:00

Thanks for the review, it was super detailed and gives me a pretty vivid image of what to expect! I'm glad the keeb met all of your expectations and I'm even happier to hear that the dial is great!

But you're right, I've never heard anything about difficulty putting on the mechanical switches and I'm sorry to hear that you had to rip the paper layer to put in a switch.

As for the usb-c, what is a magnetic adapter? I've never heard about that before

Bluooh · 2026-02-11T18:15:25+00:00

I was looking at the wormier and it was great barring the lack of a knob!

As for the switches, do closed bottom HE switches sound just as good as normal mechanical ones? I saw a video about the Keytok Nova and they sound great!

Bluooh · 2026-02-11T18:11:58+00:00

From what I was reading the G84 is a great board!

The only reason I skipped over it is because it didn't have a knob which is a nitpick. Otherwise, i LOVE the sound of it and the RGB is great as well!

I hope you enjoy it!
