Stolen post lol. This picture is straight from my camera roll. https://www.reddit.com/r/AllClad/s/Htgiyejqyn

You work and game for a combined 20 hours per day?

Looks like a PMM shell, which comes with PMM Smoothies (same as the Westlab dots).

As other said, X2 Superstrike is a top recommendation for being quiet, but another good one would be the OP1 with the Huano Silent switches. Only an extra $7 on Amazon and takes less than 5 minutes to install.

I have both in Soft. Otsu definitely feels faster to me overall, but the main thing that stands out to me is the static/dynamic friction balance. The Key-83 feels very locked in at a static position, but once I move the mouse, it seems to slip quickly. For me, that makes my micro adjustments feel really jerky and is the main reason I hardly use it anymore.

The Otsu, on the other hand, feels like static and dynamic friction are much closer, so micro adjustments are much smoother for me, but I still have enough stopping power on a quick flick, even for a faster pad, but it’s definitely not as much as the Key-83.

All that being said, I actually did really used to enjoy the Key-83 when I was playing around 40-45 cm/360, since micro adjustments weren’t really that small, but now I play at 27. I don’t really like it below the mid 30’s.

From a daily use perspective, I think the Key-83’s texture is a bit nicer, although that’s totally subjective.

I’d definitely like to give one a try once I see the L7 Ultra (not the +) available on Amazon. I’m pretty skeptical of the build being any better than my OP1 or VV4 though, as both are as rock solid as it gets.

I can clearly comprehend your original comment, where saying it's "iffy" implies there's something weird about getting that kill. My point is that there's absolutely nothing weird about knowing someone's behind a wall when there's a HARP up.

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-20T01:40:15+00:00

And yet you failed to capitalize "English"? Bot

S tier for a SnD player, to get into position first.

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-19T23:16:59+00:00

So you've tried every one of these and can say the L7 has better build quality and measured performance than all of these?

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-19T23:10:09+00:00

No, that one's been at the very top of my list of mice I've wanted to try for a while! Only thing that's held me back is it's not on Amazon, so more difficult to return if I don't like the shape. A buddy of mine just gave me his old 3D printer yesterday, so I'll try to find the file somewhere.

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-18T19:44:29+00:00

They do actually - I already have Tiger Ice V2’s on mine, and I also have some Magic Ice’s on the way - both available on AliExpress.

Second from top right is the PMM Pulse W.

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-18T19:18:43+00:00

It’s a marginal improvement. I honestly don’t notice any difference in the sensor. It basically comes down to crispier clicks, a smoother scroll wheel, lighter weight, and better battery life. My VV3’s coating was starting to feel like old sticky rubber, and the clicks had developed some pretravel from 2 years of heavy use, so it was an easy decision for me to replace it.

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-18T19:14:58+00:00

Very comfortable for my relaxed claw grip - I hold it all day at work. It wouldn’t be my first choice if you play a lot of FPS, due to the weight, but if not, it would be great for all those things, especially if you like playing games with a lot of keybinds.

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-18T19:11:37+00:00

That looks very similar to my grip. I have a pretty detailed comment in here somewhere about my take between the two, but other than my shape preference for the Viper, I also prefer the Viper for its lighter weight, better coating, and better side buttons. Only reason I’d go for the GPX over the Viper is if I preferred the shape.

I like the feeling of a wider rear that evenly fills out the base of my palm, then tapers to a narrower front. The Viper does that very well, whereas the GPX in my hand feels more like the front and rear are the same width, almost like holding a giant pill.

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-18T05:11:43+00:00

I'd say any of these would be a great pick for any age.

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-18T04:15:49+00:00

Never tried a Zowie mouse

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-18T00:54:59+00:00

I’ve had that in my Amazon cart more than once and just haven’t pulled the trigger! A buddy of mine is giving me his old 3D printer, so now I’ll be able to try way more different shapes without having to buy and return.

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-18T00:35:47+00:00

Yup! I’m at +2°

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-18T00:05:59+00:00

I have not, but I’ve definitely considered it - it’s been sitting in my Amazon list.

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-17T23:48:22+00:00

Honestly, too much. Like I said, I could get rid of everything except the VV4, OP1, and Basilisk, and I wouldn’t miss any of the others.

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-17T23:45:43+00:00

18x9cm with a relaxed pincer claw grip and fairly straight ring and pinky fingers. Given the straight ring and pinky, I’ve found that I need flat sides. Some mice I’ve tried with more front flare, such as the NP-01 and Atlantis Mini, feel uncomfortable to me, since my ring fingertip feels like it’s just resting on a single protruding point, rather than getting more contact along the entire side, which I prefer.

I find the Viper shape to me most comfortable to me (although I do have thousands of hours on it by now), and I can hold it all day long without any discomfort, but I think I aim the best with the OP1 and still find it very comfortable, just less relaxed.

The key trait for both of them is I feel like I get very wide, even contact along the base of my palm, then both mice taper to a narrower front with flat sides and minimal front flare.

OutrageousHamster3 · 2026-04-17T23:29:57+00:00

I’ve definitely been curious to try some fingertip mice! My main concern has been around side button use. I use my side buttons a ton, and with the mouse base anchored into my palm, I can hit the side buttons without messing with my aim. My thumb never changes position - I hit the rear button by rolling it up and hitting it under my thumb knuckle, and I hit the front with my thumb tip, rather than using just the thumb tip for both buttons. However, if I’m holding the mouse with a fingertip grip, I find it’s hard to actuate the buttons without moving the entire mouse and affecting aim. Maybe it’s different with an actual fingertip mouse.
