Verdict

The Endgame Gear XM1 RGB is a high-performance wired gaming mouse featuring an ambidextrous, low-profile design (122.14 x 65.81 x 38.26 mm) that weighs 82g and is specifically optimized for claw grip users. It is equipped with the flagship PixArt PMW3389 optical sensor, offering a sensitivity of up to 16,000 CPI, 450 IPS tracking speed, and 50G acceleration, alongside custom-sorted Kailh GM 4.0 switches rated for 60 million clicks. Main pros include its patented analog technology for sub-1ms click latency, a highly flexible 1.85m 'Flex Cord' cable, and large 0.8mm PTFE skates that provide a smooth glide. Its primary characteristics are its three-zone RGB lighting with 14 LEDs and a durable 'Dry Grip' matte coating. Notable cons include a slight weight increase over the original non-RGB model, a basic software interface with limited button remapping, and a coating that can easily attract fingerprints and oils.

What customers dislike about Endgame Gear XM1 RGB?

  • Notable weight increase to 82g compared to the 70g original model, which some enthusiasts find too heavy
  • RGB lighting effects can appear 'jerky' or have unsmooth color transitions at certain settings
  • Middle mouse button (scroll click) can feel too easy to actuate, leading to accidental clicks
  • The matte coating, while grippy, easily attracts fingerprints and skin oils
  • Basic software functionality lacks advanced features like deep macro support
  • Reports of double-clicking issues surfacing after long-term use (e.g., 14 months)
  • Not ideal for dedicated palm grip users due to the specific rear hump design
