Amazingly, today marks 7 years since I first uploaded on the Rocket Jump Ninja channel...
I went from player to reviewer to mouse designer. And now the

Insanely low weight wireless; as a mouse enthusiast, I can't wait to see how good my aim is with them.

I know these are almost identical but thought it was worth a comparison. The one on the right is a bit more comfortable to hold but it's also a bit heavier, so we can use them to debate shape VS weight.
What's more important to you, shape or weight?
Hope you enjoyed that review, it's my last full review, wanted to make it special.
I'll try to keep the site updated with small videos but otherwise I'm moving into mouse design and getting back to writing novels.
Thanks for all the support! The best is yet to come. Stay tuned!
I asked a 7 year old what they would tell the world if they could.
They said
-To be kind to each other
-Work together for a better future and
-Stop over designing mice and keep them under 85g, also use soft flexible cables, + optical
The purity of a child's mind, so beautiful.
The most beautiful mice somehow just got an even bigger wow factor. RGB adds weight, we're ok with that. Diamonds add weight too. Would you be ok with that?
Congrats, Tfue! Looks awesome.
My review is coming next, hopefully testing one with diamonds and one without.😊

Razer Copperhead + Mantis VS Razer Viper + Goliathus. Really happy to see them back on top with the Viper Ultimate.

follows me on Twitter. Kind of proud TBH.
I don't want anyone losing sleep, so I'll give you at least 9 hours notice by a tweet before my mouse could be shown, ok?
I know the "hype factor" is meant to be all mysterious but nah, your sleep and mental health is more important.
Sleep well!
The
@finalmouse
UltralightX arrived and got me thinking... imagine if this was released in 2015, when I started reviewing.
Great shape, basically perfect optical sensor, well built, extremely low latency, WIRELESS... medium size and only 38 grams?
Amazing how far we've come.
You know the craziest thing about this photo?
It's not even all of them. There's a whole other computer case box full of them, plus ones that are not in retail packaging.
4 years 4 months of reviewing gaming mice.
My take after about 2.5k hours ... everything about Apex Legends is insulting. If it wasn't for the underlying core gameplay, it would actually be the worst game ever made.
The developer is essentially a player with aim assist, they can make bad decisions and still win.
21 years ago I started playing
@Quake
(anniversary month).
That means if you're under 20, I've played Quake longer than you've been alive.
Let that sink in.
😂
Two things you may have missed... the little RJN logo in front of the thumb. And there are no holes where I grip the mouse. So yeah it has holes, can't feel them though. 😊

mice. Top tier specs on wireless mice under 46 grams each. Love them. Definitely worth checking out!
No discount code, no affiliation, just awesome mice. Follow Finalmouse for drop details!
I understand that
@Finalmouse
said the Air58 was their final mouse. But due to incessant nagging on my behalf, they are making one more. I accept the anger and criticism for the confusion this may have caused. You're welcome.
50 grams now feels like a brick. Good job,
@finalmouse
.
After using the Legendaries, I think we could go even lighter and it would still be better for aim. 10 gram mice when?
Sometimes to be your best, you have to be prepared to throw everything away, start from zero and change your entire world view.
That's why you should try a mouse that is lighter than the Logitech G502.
Random but thought I'd share ... crazy guy just ran after me down the beach and punched me in the back of the head, got in front of me and punched me in the mouth.
Unprovoked. He was insane/on drugs. Police were there for him already but he got away and attacked me.
You can have all the potential in the world and it will mean nothing if you don't use it.
People with less talent will beat you because they put more effort in. How are you using your time right now?
Get back to being you. Not the excuses and laziness. The real you.
Redoing the Mouse Wall, it's really hard to fit so many different sized boxes together but it's a lot better this time.
Xtrfy mice aren't up because I'm about to film the M4 Wireless review.
To be honest ... after using the Finalmouse Ultralight 2, Razer Viper/Ultimate, Glorious Model O-/O and Cooler Master MM710 ... I really don't have the motivation to review any of the other mice.
Sorry. I mean they're great but ... the top mice are just amazing. Spoiled.
For people who aren't interested in the new Finalmouse, don't worry, there's still the Super Secret mouse announcement coming in the next few months.
It's my new main. 😊
I played Overwatch earlier and after each round, they started insulting each other about who was trash.
Sorry but until any of you get good at Quake, you're all trash.
😂
Jokes aside where's the sportsmanship? I guess it's normal in popular games. Quake is quite peaceful.
It's been fun reading all the guesses for which company is making my mouse design a reality ... some of you are pretty smart, maybe too smart. And some of you are right. 👌
You'll know if you got it right in a couple of days when they do the official announcement!
So people don't panic and lose sleep ... you won't miss out on buying it if you miss the announcement.
But you might miss the fun of the first look! I'm really not ok with people losing sleep hah worst hype man ever.
WHO'S UP IN THE CLUB?!!!
Well you shouldn't be, go to bed.
Really we want either wireless or a nice soft braided cable and holes all over the mouse shell to reduce the weight as much as possible, but I chose a Zowie mouse because they are the most plain of all top mice. Had to hit the point home.
Ridiculous Mouse VS Gaming Mouse.
How many differences can you spot? Tip: lots. 😊
Saw a few people comparing them, but this is a new shape. I think of it as the conclusion to this era, using all the best design principles (imo) and blending them into a new mouse. Next mouse I make won't be so "safe". 😉
Imagine if the people designing mouse boxes actually understood how to treat cables.
Stop folding them. Stop bending them. Stop treating them like they're unbreakable.
Sincerely,
Everyone who doesn't want their cable to be faulty
For the record ...
@Razer
hasn't given me any money, their mice are up top because they're great. They put in a lot of work, listened to the community and created top tier products.
And no, my mouse design isn't through them, Finalmouse, Cooler Master or ASUS. Can't say who yet.
It's day 8 of testing
@finalmouse
Starlight-12 Legendaries and I still haven't charged them since day one.
The battery is still in the green on both too. Impressive.
Putting a lot of work into the review, but I'll be publishing it a day before they go on sale (maybe earlier).
I've been giving Apex Legends a proper try and ... I actually really like it. First time I've really taken to a game in years, decades even.
So, do I become Punch Jump Ninja now? 🤔
So the shape is a G Pro Wireless clone? Shape is king, and that's a good one, yeah, but it isn't the best imo. Plus we have plenty of clones of it already.
@TenZOfficial
I'd love to see something new, unique or just your original ideas for what could help improve aim potential.
Hello everyone,
First off I just want to genuinely apologize on the latest launch of my new mouse.
I completely understand the negative comments that are being made towards the project, and everything is completely warranted.
This model for making a mouse from scratch and
I need to follow more pros/competitive players that are into finding the best mice, anyone following me that I've missed?
Or is there anyone you follow that is into mice?
Funny story: A company sent a mouse to me and it was held in quarantine. Apparently they thought it was a live mouse. I told them it was a computer mouse and they cleared it for delivery. Just happened again.
So yeah, make sure your label says "computer mouse" if you post it. 😂
Just warming up with the
@finalmouse
Ares (red, Ultralight 2 size), not in practice yet, we'll see what I can do after a week of play.
I love these mice.
Hi, I'm Zy and I review gaming mice and tech but I still use a brick to crack open macadamia nuts instead of a nutcracker.
I guess I could use a G502. 🤔
If World War 3 starts, just know I have nothing against any of you (from any country). If you see me on the battlefield, come talk about mice and stuff.
We'll let everyone else vent their frustration on each other and then go back to gaming once they're done.
Razer Viper Mini is a small 60g mouse with a top optical sensor, optical switches (to avoid double clicks), soft flexible cable, pretty much top tier features but ... apparently only $39? Crazy.
Review:
Note to the left handers ... sorry to disappoint but my mouse will be for right hand.
Making mice is really expensive so while I'd love to make a mouse for everyone, unfortunately sales just aren't enough for left handers to cover the costs at this point. Maybe some day!
Lowering weight with holes? Game changer.
Paracord type cable on a mouse out of the box? Game changer.
Lowering weight with more holes? Game changer.
Legitimately "small" gaming mouse? Game changer.
Thanks for helping push the industry
@finalmouse
, love what you did for us. <3
No code or affiliate this time around, but I do have my own mouse coming out with another brand ... obviously we didn't get my mouse weight down that much, so it'll be interesting to see which I prefer...
Insanely light weight wireless or a shell I designed?
🤔
To give some more insight: I've noticed with certain mice I consistently hit really precise flicks and my aim just levels up. Even if I'm out of practice, I'll just hit these crazy shots. Especially on my own mouse pad.
Oh yeah I have a mouse pad coming too. The combo is real!
"Shape is king. But a lot of the mice we get these days are just mirror images. We need new designs. So I decided to test some theories of what would make the best mouse. And thankfully, the theories were right. I've never aimed better."

Ok good news, here's a list of the mice I'll be reviewing over the next month (not in order):
1. SteelSeries Sensei Ten
2. Xtrfy M4
3. Logitech G604
4. Logitech G703 Hero
5. Microsoft Pro Intellimouse
New website hit a block but we have a solution now so that's progressing too.
Trusted by major tech reviewers—our Razer Viper ambidextrous line of gaming mice pack heavyweight performance into a lightweight form factor, giving absolute advantage for the highest level of competitive play. Learn more about the Razer Viper range here:
Hey Quake Live community, I hear you're still kicking new players?
Here's a tip: If you kick new players, you won't have people learning the game. If new people don't learn the game, eventually everyone will move on and you'll have no one to play. Game dies.
Don't kick newbs.
Turns out he hit me in the side of the head, got a lump there. All happened so fast, didn't really know what happened. No concussion symptoms. He also chipped my teeth a bit. Gonna press charges. Doc, dentist and police tomorrow. Yay.
How I would play on a straight desk: Chair arm only slightly lower than desk. Elbow rested. Sport sleeve for consistent low friction.
Gaming chairs need to be able to move the arm rests back enough so that we can get close to the desk while resting our elbows.
The feet on the
@finalmouse
Ultralight 2 are so underrated.
After testing 15 or so mouse pads lately, I realized I had to re-test them all because the Fianlmouse feet were making them feel better than they actually are.
This is not an ad. Just observation.
What low ping gaming looked like, 2001.
That's me in white, 3 years Quake experience, using the original Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer and barely any room to move it.
Had to play high sensitivity, it was the original optical sensor, spun out heaps.
Good times, man.
I had 3 keyboards and was explaining how the 2 non-RGB ones were way better than the RGB one, which was actually a really bad keyboard to type on. They still chose the RGB one.
It was at that moment I decided my mouse needed RGB. Plus the 10% accuracy increase of course.
Congrats to

#1
mouse of 2019, the Viper Ultimate! Light weight wireless, optical switches, top optical sensor, charging dock, long battery life, so many features, absolute top tier mouse. Love what they've done this year.

Kids these days complaining about "stiff cables" don't know how good they have it.
Back in my day we made our cables out of wood, clay and bits of scrap metal we found at the tip, and you didn't hear a peep out of us!
Not sure if people were joking but I have spoken about health a fair bit so maybe they were serious... do you actually want to see what I cook and learn how to do it?
If this gets enough likes I might put a video like that on the to-do list.
INTRODUCING CYBER TANK MOUSE.
The worlds heaviest gaming mouse 🤖
Releasing soon. Watch this space.
🚨CAUTION: This mouse is most effective when used by gamers who are ripped.
Hilarious if this is true.
I hope it was worded like "Having trouble deciding which mouse to buy? Worried about warranty claims? Can't afford Viper Ult? Don't stress! We have you covered. With this one simple hack, you will be out aiming all your enemies, even without a mouse!"
When you're trying to get to the top, you feel that drive to always improve. When you get to the top, you either stop or go down. It's the end.
This is why it's all about the journey. Don't stress results too much, because your brain is wired to live, not end.
Create a new top.
After testing a lot of mouse pads (20 new ones) ... pad definitely matters. I've been getting consistent high scores with a few. None of them were the Artisans I have.
Will be doing more videos on them soon.
What's your current pad and do you prefer speed or control?
Games should not feel like work.
If they do, you should either be getting paid for it at some point or you need to take a break. Remember to have fun.
I'm ok with people rage quitting out of games if it means they go work on themselves or have more fun some other way.
It's interesting to see how many people are saying "palm grip is better because that's what pros use" without considering "maybe they could be even better with a different grip and smaller mouse".
Being pro doesn't mean they're at their peak. Just means they're better than most.
They're putting a railgun into Overwatch 2 ... nice, now give that hero a rocket launcher and lightning gun, enable rocket jumping and strafe jumping, and I'm there!
Does anyone know why people want a Playstation 5 so badly?
From what I can see there are almost no games released yet. Does it have some other advantage? Can we install Windows 10 on it and use it as a PC? That's the only reason I'd be even remotely excited about one.
What do you need to do to get

We have a lot of influence & reach, yet neither have the tick on here?
G Wolves said they sent out their mice to me, going to take that opportunity to show I can still be unbiased in reviews and rankings.
Although I am thinking I'll just put my mice in a separate list, make it clear and easy. Xtrfy still get on the Top Mice page but no actual rank.
It's really interesting to see the differences between how people looked with that
#2009vs2019
tag, some people change a lot, some barely at all. I could show you mine but how my set up has changed since reviewing tech is far more interesting.
Still play Quake Live though.
This is one of those things I wished I could talk about months ago but wasn't allowed. Every time someone said "when is the FK2 going to get a 3360 sensor?" or "where's the FK series update"?
Right here.
We have launched the DIVINA special edition FK-B Series. It is equipped with the 3360 sensor and has a symmetrical right-handed design.
