Buy this if...

  • You like an 80g+ mouse and want upgraded Kailh switches and wider skates
  • You use a claw or relaxed-claw grip and want a shape often compared to the Rival 110 or G900
  • You want RGB accenting without an aggressive 'unicorn puke' look

What users love

Skip this if...

  • You're chasing sub-70g weight, since the RGB version sits around 82-83g
  • You full-palm grip, as several users found it uncomfortable for that style
  • You specifically want a wireless mouse, since many are holding out for that instead

Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The shape and switches win people over instantly. Commenters repeatedly praise the XM1 RGB's shape, comparing it favorably to the Steelseries Rival 110 and Logitech G900/903, and call the new Kailh switches crisp with impressive build quality in how buttons are held in place. Fans of the original XM1 describe upgrading as an easy buy, and some call it one of the most comfortable mice they've used, though it clearly favors claw and relaxed-claw grips over full palm.

The weight bump splits the fanbase down the middle. Users note the mouse landed around 82-83g versus the original's roughly 70g, attributing the increase to beefier feet, a new microcontroller, and revised PCB rather than RGB alone. Some heavier-mouse users appreciate the extra heft and stability, while others who've grown used to sub-70g mice say the weight is a dealbreaker and wish for a lighter version with the same upgrades.

RGB itself is the most divisive feature, and wireless is the most requested. Many longtime XM1 owners explicitly say they don't care for RGB and would prefer a version with just the new switches and feet minus the lighting, viewing Endgame's minimalist look as the series' appeal. Simultaneously, a recurring wish across many comments is for a wireless XM1, with several saying that would make it their permanent 'endgame' mouse over any RGB addition.
