The XM1r is a refresh of the popular XM1 series of gaming mice from Endgame gear. Endgame gear took into account the reviews and feedback from the original design and made improvements with new features and performance-focused updates.
Improved Specifications:
Updates include the PixArt PAW3370 optical sensor, custom-sorted Kailh GM 8.0 switches, new side and middle mouse button switches, a hybrid skate design and completely re-written performance-focused firmware and software developed in Germany.
- New Sensor: The Pixart PAW3370 has been developed and tweaked to give gamers the best performance. This means low input lag, no smoothing and no power-saving states.
- High CPI: 50-19000 CPI (adjustable steps of 50 CPI for 50 to 10000 CPI, steps of 100 CPI from 10000 to 19000 CPI) The sensitivity of this sensor can be easily adjusted easily and there’s no averaging or interpolating so the tracking data follows every move you make precisely.
- Fast Tracking speed: 400 IPS. IPS stands for Inches per second and the high number means that the XM1R is capable of tracking mouse movement at extremely high speed. This is perfect for the fast reaction speed needed for gaming.
- Low Liftoff distance: 1mm (2mm via software). A low liftoff distance prevents your mouse cursor jumping around or reading incorrectly when picking it up and moving the XM1R rapidly while gaming.
- Unbeatable Polling rates: 125Hz, 500Hz and 1000 Hz (1000Hz by default). A fast 1000Hz polling rate means the USB connection between the XM1R and PC never slows you down.
- Reliable Main button switches: Kailh GM 8.0. These mechanical switches have been specially developed with a low click force of just 55-60gf. This means they are light, fast and satisfying to press. They’re also durable with an 80 million actuation lifespan. That’s a lot of headshots!
- Tactile Middle mouse button: The XM1R retains the popular tactile Japanese ALPS wheel encoder used in the original XM1 mouse. Each scroll is distinctive and precise. The middle click is also a Kailh tactile switch.
- Hybrid skate design: The XM1R glides freely and the package includes both large and small skates which can be easily swapped depending on your preference.
- Braided Flex cable: New more durable design that will handle hours of use while still maintaining high flexibility to prevent snagging. Designed to feel like a wireless mouse.
Redesigned Software with more functionality:
The XM1r has incredible new hardware and the redesigned software ensures the XM1r is a complete package to suit every user. The personalisation options are extensive and gamers can now adjust every setting on the XM1R.
- The scroll wheel directions can be bound seperately.
- Angle snapping and ripple control options have been added.
- Adjust the X and Y axis CPI settings independently
- New firmware and software can be set to update automatically so you can spend more time gaming.
- Bind multimedia keys to your mouse to have control over your audio.
Choose from a selection of stand out XM1R designs:
The XM1R is available in a classic all black or all white design that’s perfect for any PC setup. There are now also two new unique transparent colours which display the inner workings of this performance-focused gaming mouse. Dark Frost has a dark semi-transparent shell and a matte finish. The Dark Reflex variant has a dark semi-transparent shell and a glossy finish.
