Verdict

The Xtrfy M4 is an ultra-lightweight, ergonomic right-handed gaming mouse featuring a distinctive perforated honeycomb shell to achieve a weight of 69g (wired) or 71g (wireless). It is equipped with a high-end Pixart sensor—the 3389 for the wired version (16,000 CPI, 400 IPS) and the 3370 for the wireless model (19,000 CPI)—alongside durable Omron or Kailh GM 8.0 switches and 100% PTFE skates for a smooth glide. Main pros include its unique, comfortable 'ergo-ambi hybrid' shape, high-quality stock feet, and a plug-and-play design that allows for full RGB and performance adjustments directly on the device without needing software. However, notable cons include the lack of official software for fine-tuned customization or macro programming, a somewhat stiff 'EZcord' cable on the wired model, and occasional reports of minor shell creaking or button pre-travel in earlier production batches.

What customers like about Xtrfy M4?

Unique right-handed ergonomic shape that many find comfortable for palm and claw grips
Ultra-lightweight design (approx. 69g) without sacrificing overall shell sturdiness
High-performance PixArt PMW3389 optical sensor providing accurate tracking and low click latency
Excellent stock mouse feet made of 100% PTFE for a smooth glide
True plug-and-play experience with all settings (DPI, polling rate, RGB) adjustable directly on the mouse
Crisp and tactile primary buttons using Omron 20M switches
High-quality scroll wheel with a grippy rubber texture and distinct steps

What customers dislike about Xtrfy M4?

The 'EZcord' cable is often cited as being stiffer and less flexible than competitor paracord-style cables
Aggressive ergonomic shape with a back-left flare may be polarising and uncomfortable for some hand sizes or fingertip grippers
Complete lack of software means no macro support or ability to set custom DPI/RGB profiles
Notable pre-travel and post-travel issues on the side buttons in some units
Quality control inconsistencies, with some users reporting shell creaking or minor button play
Absence of adjustable lift-off distance (LOD) settings
