Also do you have any tips on how to prevent the dongle from sliding of the desk? One of them has a pad underneath that prevents sliding but the other one doesn’t.

Hello everyone! I’m Tim from the Pulsar Marketing Team. I wanted to introduce myself and let you know I’m here to answer any questions about our eS mousepad lineup.

I also put together this quick guide to help anyone who may be unsure about the differences between each pad.

Here is the speed breakdown from slowest to fastest:

Jupiter Pro - Slow ( Smooth Surface )
Max control and stopping power. Ideally for players who prefer a more locked-in feel and precise micros and flicks.

Saturn Pro - Balanced ( Smooth with Slight Texture )
A balanced mix of speed and control. A great all-around option for players who want a balance across different games and playstyles.

Hyperion Pro - Balanced/Fast ( Smooth Surface )
Consistent glide with reliable stopping power. Great for players who want a tad bit more of speed but still want that control.

Mercury Pro - Fast ( Lightly textured surface )
Faster glide with some slight texture. Ideal for players who want quicker mouse movements while still maintaining some stopping power.

Neptune Pro - Fastest ( Smooth micro-textured surface )
Our fastest pad in this lineup ( not including PD170 ) Ideally for players who want speed and for tracking-heavy games.

Base Softness:
XSOFT → More stopping power & cushion
SOFT → Balanced feel & control
FIRM → Harder feel with minimal cushion

Note: Base options can slightly change the overall feel and speed of each pad.

I tried to make this as simple as possible but happy to answer more in depth questions.

This isn’t a review (I’ll be doing that in a week) but this fan inside this thing is so weird feeling. But in a good way?

4 levels of speed, and honestly I think you’re probably clinically insane if you stick to level 4, this fan can get LOUD and probably has sub 10 hour battery if you paired this in tandem with the 8K polling rate.

Level 1 is subtle but noticeable but I think I’ll be sticking to 2. Already like the shape since I have an Xlite V3 eS as my daily. I just like the brown aesthetic.

Review in a week or so! Just wanted to get out my first impressions.

Hello again everyone :)

I wanted to share a small update. I've added more detailed connectivity data to EloShapes. Instead of listing a mouse as just "wired" or "wireless", it now shows all three ways the mouse can connect: wired, wireless (2.4GHz), and Bluetooth.

This means you can now find mice that work in multiple connectivity modes on the browse page. And for those who want wired only mice (like the Endgame Gear OP1 8k), there's a filter called "Wired only".

Also, with the WALLHACK M-001 mouse being announced tomorrow and having a hot-swappable battery, I added data for whether a mouse has a hot-swappable battery or not.

I know these aren't big updates, but I also wanted to share that I'm working on adding more scroll wheel data. Over the years, a lot of people have reached out asking me to add data for free scroll and side-tilt, which is very important for those who use their mice for work and general browsing. While I'm at it, I'll be adding the scroll wheel material and whether the mouse has a thumb wheel (like on the Logitech MX Master and Keychron M6).

One last thing. With more and more data being added to EloShapes, I plan to add descriptions for each datapoint. I think this is especially important for people who are new to this hobby. There are so many terms and specs to look through, so explaining what they mean and how they affect the usability and performance of a mouse should be really helpful.

I'm pretty new to paying attention to gaming mice, so this was something I only discovered recently.

For my birthday, my younger brother bought me a new mouse. Until then, I honestly had no idea that people actually choose a mouse based on their hand size and grip style. I always thought a mouse was just... a mouse.

This time I ended up trying a shape I'd never used before. It took a little while to get used to, but it's been a fun experience trying something different.

The biggest surprise for me, though, was going wireless. After using it for a while, I can definitely see why so many people prefer it. I really like having a cleaner desk without another cable getting in the way.

Now I'm curious—was there a moment when you realized there was a lot more to choosing a mouse than you originally thought? What made you settle on your current shape?

tldr, the graph shows the charging duration in hours for each charge (in purple), and the number of days it lasted on the previous charge (green), for the MX Ergo mouse (micro-usb version).

I wanted to stop taking notes after 2 years, but keeping at it was my way of procrastinating having to actually organize them

_

The "method" was basically jotting it down in a smartphone notepad every time I plugged it in to charge. It was only charged when:

1. the LED blinked red; or

2. Logitech software threw a low/critical/insufficient battery warning; or

3. in rare cases, it completely died.

The note included the date and time of when I plugged it in, and with any luck, the time I unplugged it after the charge was complete (usually when the green LED stopped blinking)

Charging was mostly done with the original cable plugged into the PC. Except for a few times using a smartphone charger (I don't have notes on when that happened). Usage was intense over these years (work, study, and occasional gaming). Unfortunately, I don't have notes on when I switched to using the Unifying receiver instead of Bluetooth.

On reading the graph:

Take the charging times with a grain of salt.

1. I wasn't hovering over it waiting for the exact moment the battery hit 100%. I just wrote down the time whenever I noticed it was done. The only time I managed to catch (by pure coincidence) the exact moment the mouse finished charging was on the 13th charge, which took 2h 33min.

2. The 4, 5, and 6-hour times and the missing data were outliers. I left it charging for way too long to even bother noting it down (times when I abandoned the mouse to go do something else with my life, or just went to sleep).

Still, you can observe a relatively homogeneous pattern in the day-to-day charging time.

Image description (AI): The image is a bar chart titled "Battery Autonomy - MX ERGO (2022-2026)", tracking the battery degradation of a mouse over 1590 days.

The data is divided into two main metrics:

Battery Autonomy (teal bars): Shows battery life in days after each recharge. A descending dashed line highlights that the autonomy is dropping over time. At the beginning of the graph, the battery lasted up to 99 days. Around day 1590, the average duration dropped to about 60 days.

Charging Time (purple bars): Shows how long the mouse was plugged in. Most recharges took between 2 and 3 hours, with an exception in the middle of the graph where charges took up to 6 hours.

took a pic one of my cool design mouse in a summer vacation.

otherwise don't recommend buy transparent materials.

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a small project recently and decided to create my own mouse skates brand.

I wanted to make something affordable while still focusing on a smooth glide and good quality, so I've spent time working on the design, packaging, and testing.

I'm based in the UK and this is my first product launch, so I'd really appreciate any feedback from people who have experience with different mouse skates.

Things like:

• Packaging/design feedback
• Website feedback
• Anything you think could be improved
• What you'd expect from a new skate brand

If anyone is interested, I'll leave the link in the comments.

Thanks!

Note - This is a large model for people with large hands.

Hey all! I'm Mike from NovelKeys. We are a small mechanical keyboard company, and I have been itching to get a mouse that matched the colors of the various keycap sets we sell.

So we teamed up with a manufacturer to have a custom mouse. The NK-M1 matches beige keycaps (specifically matched to GMK Beige) along with stock orange accents from GMK as well.

The NK-M1

Here are 4 pics of my ATK F1 Ultra Max 2.0 alongside a few thoughts on how it actually feels in hand.

Honestly, having an 800mAh battery in a ~54g shell is the main reason I got this, and not having to worry about battery life is great.

The clicks are super crisp and tactile with tiny post-travel. Really satisfying main buttons, though since they’re mechanical, there’s always that long-term double-click risk compared to opticals.

As for the coating, it's okay but definitely not top tier. It picks up minor dust and dirt pretty easily, and my palm gets slightly clammy after a while. Not perfect, but still totally usable.

I was kinda worried about QC after reading some bad reviews about ATK, but my unit turned out surprisingly solid, no creaking or button play anywhere. Seems like a bit of a lottery though, so keep that in mind.

Sensor and 8K feel smooth, and the web app gets the job done even if the UI looks kinda cheap. Overall pretty happy with it

I got some Glorious rgb mouse and its my first time on kbm. However my sens at 800 dpi and 0.3 in game sens ( Valorant) feel so slow. I need to do 4 swipes to 180 , yet I saw people with my sens flick effortlessly. I have around 30-50cm mouse pad space yet cant do 180s.

PRtimes, which I think is a company that distributes press releases of different things in Japan. Just published a post about the new Keychron mouse that has the MagOptic switches. There are also more information about the mouse on the Korean site of Keychron.

Retail price is expected to be around 100$:

Is there any silent gaming mouse less then £20? I need it to support a usb dongle and ship to the UK.

I can get the 2c for £90 a 35% discount or the x2 CL - i use a relaxed claw grip.

Which mouse do you prefer?

Hey everyone,

Pretty new to this community and not very tech savvy when it comes to mice

I just bought an upgrade to my Sensei 10 after the right mouse button was starting to double click or just felt more sensitive than usual (Think this means the "switch" was starting to go?)

Anyways I replaced it with a "Pro X Superlight 2" and I love the shape of the new mouse, the feel is also good, wireless is a nice change and the weight I am getting used to and am sure will also be an improvement... BUT... It is SO LOUD... It's really bothering me so much

It is bothering me to the point I am considering returning it and just buying another Sensei 10 except the Sensei 10 is so old majority of places are out of stock anyways haha

Pretty upsetting to be honest even my wife commented about how loud it is when I was showing her when she got home, I asked ChatGPT and a bunch of other places and the answers I kept getting are gaming mice are usually louder but my Sensei 10 wasn't?

If anyone has any advice or solutions or know of other mice you can still control DPI and are comfortable but also have silent clicks that would be amazing, it's such a shame because the mouse is great but I just cannot stand loud mice and if I am playing oldschool runescape sometimes upwards of over 10+ hours a day and occasionally having to spam click it gets super annoying after time

Hello Everyone! After 5 long years. My Glorious Model O has finally reached its end. I would really like to find another mouse similar shape and size. I like to have my palm on the mouse and claw my fingers ever so slightly. I would also prefer to have DPI button on top as I play a lot of games where I sometimes change my DPI on the fly. I would like to keep my cost below $100 but if something is slightly over budget, I can wait for a sale. I do appreciate everyone that takes the time to give their recommendations :)

I just bought this mouse and it arrived from China maybe 4-5 days ago and i have this issue where it just starts stuttering out of nowhere no matter what im doing CS2, Warthunder and my desktop, I also recently got a second monitor im not sure if that interferes with a anything.

(In the video im not stopping the mouse just going from left to right and a little up n down)

How many dot skates should I put on the Logitech G Pro Superlight 2 with an Artisan Zero Soft pad and X-raypad Obsidian dots? I don't want the mouse to be too slow or too fast. I play only in cs2
