What customers like about Fantech Helios UX3V2

  • Lightweight design at approximately 69g
  • Excellent symmetrical shape based on the popular Zowie S2
  • High-performance PixArt PMW3389 sensor with up to 16,000 DPI
  • Tactile and spammable main clicks using Kailh GM 8.0 switches

What customers don't like about Fantech Helios UX3V2

  • Lift-off distance (LOD) issues reported by some users, including tracking skips at the lowest setting
  • Side buttons often described as 'mushy', 'cheap', or 'hollow' sounding
  • The scroll wheel can feel too smooth or lack enough grip and tactile definition
  • The coating can become slippery for users with sweaty hands and is a fingerprint magnet
  • Occasional software bugs where the device is not immediately recognised
  • Minor shell creaking reported when applying high pressure

Verdict

The Fantech Helios UX3V2 is a high-performance wired gaming mouse featuring the industry-standard PixArt PMW 3389 optical sensor, offering up to 16,000 DPI, 400 IPS tracking, and 50G acceleration. This lightweight 69-gram mouse is equipped with tactile Kailh GM 8.0 switches rated for 80 million clicks and a 1.8-meter flexible paracord cable. Its symmetrical shape, inspired by the Zowie S2, makes it ideal for claw and fingertip grips, while its PTFE skates ensure smooth gliding. Main advantages include exceptional click feel, accurate sensor performance, and adjustable Lift-Off Distance (LOD). However, some users have noted cons such as a slippery coating for sweaty hands, a less tactile scroll wheel, and side buttons that can feel cheaper compared to the main switches.
