Verdict

The Endgame Gear XM2w 4K (and the refreshed V2) is a high-performance wireless gaming mouse weighing approximately 61.5g to 63g, specifically engineered for claw grip users with its iconic symmetrical shape and supportive rear hump. It features a PixArt PAW3395 (or PAW3950 in the V2) optical sensor with up to 26,000–30,000 CPI, 650–750 IPS tracking, and 50G acceleration, all supported by a Nordic nRF52840 MCU and a dedicated 4K dongle for a true 4000Hz wireless polling rate. Key pros include industry-leading click latency of under 310 microseconds using custom pre-sorted Kailh GX SPDT switches, a durable dry-grip coating, and a hybrid skate design for customisable glide. However, some users note potential cons such as relatively short battery life when using the maximum 4K polling rate (approx. 30 hours), a very narrow charging port that may restrict third-party USB-C cables, and a weight that some might consider slightly high compared to modern ultra-lightweight competitors.

What customers like about Endgame Gear XM2W?

  • Industry-leading 'EGG' coating that provides exceptional grip without needing grip tape
  • Elite-tier click latency and sensor performance using SPDT switches and the PixArt 3395/3950 sensors
  • Iconic, comfortable symmetrical shape specifically optimized for claw grip users
  • High-quality, tactile scroll wheel and side buttons with minimal pre- or post-travel
  • Lightweight, non-bloated configuration software that doesn't require a constant background process
  • Solid overall build quality with minimal flexing in most standard units

What customers dislike about Endgame Gear XM2W?

  • Frequent reports of shell creaking, particularly in the 'Frost' (translucent) variants
  • Potential QC issues including scroll wheel rattling or main button side-to-side wobble on some units
  • Heavier than many recent flagship competitors, typically weighing around 60-63g
  • Aggressive side curvature may be uncomfortable for users who don't use a claw grip
  • Lack of productivity features such as Bluetooth support or horizontal scroll tilting
  • The white coating is reported to show dirt, oils, and grime more easily than the black version
