Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The shape and coating win over a lot of long-time XM1 fans. Commenters repeatedly call the XM1 shape one of the best available, describing switching from mice like the GPW, Pulsefire Haste, Viper Mini and HATI S and preferring the XM1r afterward. The coating and grip are singled out as excellent even with sweaty or dirty hands, staying reliable through use. For claw grip users especially, the shape is described as still king despite trying other flagship mice.

Updated internals bring real, if incremental, improvements. Users note the switch to the 3389 sensor lowered error rate and latency versus the older 3370, and the new Kailh 8.0 switches along with revised skates improved feel over earlier XM1 versions, especially the once-firm scroll wheel click. Some feel the changes are minor compared to XM1 v2, but agree the mouse now rivals pricier competitors on performance for its price.

Cable durability and hardware QC are the clearest weak points. Multiple commenters report the cable breaking or causing intermittent disconnects after 4-6 months of heavy use, sometimes needing replugging repeatedly; Endgame Gear was praised for freely replacing cables or mice. Other isolated QC complaints include a scroll wheel breaking within six months and one side of the mouse feeling different from the other, suggesting occasional inconsistency.
