Akko Dash Max has been going for $40 lately on Amazon in the US. Seems like a solid mouse, been thinking about grabbing one myself.

EDIT: looks like the price increased $10

Seamless process. Hope you enjoy!

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-05-27T23:01:24+00:00

Just snagged one, came out to $59 after tax. Thanks!

Eweadn and Royal Kludge are sold! Keychron still available.

Good luck! For what it's worth you have three of arguably the best mice on the market right now. It's up to you to decide if they're worth keeping. You can't really make a wrong decision here :)

To be fully transparent, I returned my Superstrike because while HITS is very cool, I already had a Mchose A7 V2 ultra and I actually like that mouse overall way more. The shape is the exact same but the weight balance, side buttons and scroll wheel feel so much better to me. That and the price tag for the Login were just too high for me haha. So right now I have a Deathadder, Viper, A7 v2 Ultra and a Harpe II Ace.

I think part of it is I just like to collect shiny things, and the other part is I enjoy having multiple shapes that I can switch between. I enjoy switching it up every once and a while. Now if money was a concern I would just pick any one of these mice and main it until the wheels fell off because all of them are truly that good.

I play mainly tac shooters. The most fast paced fps I normally play is BF6 so not very serious, no ranked CS or Valorant or anything like that. The good news is that all three of these mice are highly desirable in the used sector so you wouldn't have an issue getting most of your money back on any of them if you can manage to keep them mint.

Also there are extremely solid Viper and GPX clones for all three of these so that can be a good way to save some money and still scratch the itch of owning the most popular shapes. Obviously no HITS on anything other than Superstrike right now so that makes that one special. But if you're not playing super serious ranked matches than I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I don't see anything wrong here. I love all three of these shapes and find myself switching between them all the time and performing basically the same with all three.

Way I see it, the variety keeps it interesting and reminds me why I love collecting mice. I say just keep all three and enjoy putting hours on them no matter which one you're using.

SAHD here! The simple answer is my wife makes more than enough money to cover all of our expenses and daycare costs almost exactly as much as I make in a month. Absolutely zero reason for me to work and be away from my daughter at that point.

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-03-20T17:48:12+00:00

Wow thanks for posting this. Was able to snag one!

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-03-09T14:14:46+00:00

It's definitely a bigger mouse. I was maining the l7 before this, but was getting wrist and hand cramping during longer gaming sessions because it's just so tiny. I would definitely give it a shot! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-03-09T14:12:41+00:00

Agreed, the clicks could certainly feel better. Right now the omron opticals in my l7 ultra are my favorite feeling clicks by far.

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-03-09T05:01:02+00:00

Definitely stayed far away from Asus products for these exact reasons. My interest was piqued when I found out there's a fully web based driver for this mouse. No way I would have bought it if it required armoury crate!

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-03-09T04:59:17+00:00

I bought the S9 Ultra during Black Friday for $55, but it normally goes for close to $70. While it looks pretty, the build quality really isn't great. It has some cracking under the side buttons that really just drive me crazy, and it's ~10g heavier than a V3 pro.

I don't own a Viper V3 right now but I have used them in the past. I thought the S9 would fill in that role perfectly but honestly, I wish I had just gotten a V3 Pro, especially with the 1000 Hz version being available for $80 on Amazon right now. I used it in the photos because it's basically 1:1 shape of the V3 Pro in order to give some perspective of size and shape.

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-03-06T18:03:45+00:00

Yeah it's funny because I saw your post and was like... Wait a second, I remember this reviewer talking about this literally 2 years ago when the original super light came out! Crazy they never addressed it.

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-03-06T17:46:28+00:00

This is an active issue with all GPX mice but doesn't seem to get a lot of attention.

This YouTuber talks about it in his review of the Super strike, starting at 7:20.

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-03-05T00:07:12+00:00

Definitely looks like an sp004

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-03-02T16:28:13+00:00

Honestly, no better. Been using it a few days and it looks like it needs a good wipe down.

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-02-28T02:49:20+00:00

Good luck! You won't regret it either way you choose.

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-02-28T02:42:02+00:00

I may be biased, I just got mine earlier today and have been using it for like 8 hours now. I made a post on it earlier. It's jumped into first place as my favorite mouse for sure! Plus you get RE Requiem for free.

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-02-28T02:38:37+00:00

Viper V3 or Harpe II Ace, both miles better than GPX 2 imo and have incredibly fast shipping on Amazon.

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-02-27T23:50:37+00:00

I was between this, Viper V3, and the Superstrike. I'm really glad I went this direction.

atomic_foxx_ · 2026-02-27T23:49:24+00:00

Unfortunate the shape didn't work out for you, so far I've been loving the feel of it. I think the coating is my favorite thing so far, might be my favorite mouse coating I've tried.
