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.
