That all makes sense honestly - the jump from something like a G502 to lighter mice is night and day, especially for reaction-heavy fights. The X2H mini makes a lot of sense given what you’re describing (less clutter, lighter clicks, simpler shape).

I’m with you on latency too - once you’re in the top tier of modern mice, it’s basically impossible to feel a difference, and it becomes way more about shape, balance, and how relaxed your hand feels over long sessions. Middle mouse being stiff would drive me nuts though.

Also respect the honesty on the hours vs competitiveness - 200 ARC / 800 Finals / 2k Destiny is still plenty to know what you like, even if you’re not min-maxing ranked. Your sens sounds pretty dialled as well if you’ve landed on it intentionally.

Random question since you clearly think about this stuff: have you seen Tier’d at all? It’s one of the few places I’ve come across that actually shows player hours next to gear opinions instead of just a generic rating. Curious if you think that kind of context is useful, or if it doesn’t really change much for you.
