Absolutely love the customization with the buttons and the deep click comes in clutch too!
It was worth taking the time adapting to the form factor. I like being able to perform actions without lifting my fingers off the WASD keys.
This mouse is incredible for productivity. Trigger push + mouse movement to scroll through tabs and windows, trigger pull to close tabs and windows, deep click to save, bottom edge for enter, top edge for escape, fingertip buttons for left and right, the macros you can put on keys and use even on locked down work computers, rumble to give you feedback for when all of this is happening. It's great and I feel handicapped when I go back to even a 5 button mouse.
That said, for games, I don't think it's really necessary. Games have gotten a lot better about keybinds, and I rarely find a use for the fingertip buttons and triggers nowadays. The edge buttons are very useful though, as are the thumb buttons, which is a given. I don't use gyro for anything in game. I also never map the buttons to joystick buttons. I do really appreciate the auto profile switching, as well as the fact that you can manually switch profiles with auto mode on. The OLED screen is also great for dialing in dpi settings in game. The scroll wheel is weak and in games I augment it with rumble to give a more definite feel to a single scroll.
The mouse is very heavy, and it's back heavy. You can't get a good grip on the heaviest part of the mouse. I've been using a 100g mouse, and it feels so much better, it's not even funny. I will say that even though the mouse is huge, and my hands are small, it fits my hand really well. I have no problem reaching all of the buttons, which was not the case on a lot of mouses with their out of reach dpi switch buttons. It helps that it comes with options for button attachments. Oh, speaking of attachments, the trigger attachments break. The top rips off of the stem over time pulling the triggers. Maybe they fixed that with the Z2 or Z3.
As a productivity mouse, it gets five stars, easily. It's invaluable. I love it so much. As a gaming mouse, I give it four stars. The gestures and deep click are basically useless in game, as are the triggers. It's very usable, but I don't love it nearly as much for games, which is funny considering the way it's marketed.
I love the Z2 mouse, truly amazing, but I am kind of miffed at the fact that almost literally just after i buy my mouse and I waited to buy the mouse for about a year you guys came out with the wireless edition 😅
One of the best mouses I've owned
They are for sure for bigger hands/not resting your wrist on the desk so I've had to adjust my style a bit to fit it but the function slaps all other mice out of the conpetition
Anyone might be say that a mouse isn't worth what this one costs. They'd be wrong. It is a tool that is limited only by the user's imagination.
Swapped my G502X Pro out, and let me tell you this is something else!
So happy with it. Probably my best buy in, dare I say.. 10 years?
I still use the first mouse you did on Kickstarter. Right click is starting to double-click, so time for the replacement. Good value for money, lasting all these years.
Pretty crazy mouse I really like it tho. The little thing that sticks out on the right side for your pinky and ring finger to rest on rocks.
I absolutely love use and customizing the mouse! Was worth the price! Only suggestion would be to introduce the option to switch modes on the mousewheel (ratched vs. freespin mode). Super precise, super comfortable instrument.
This is a great mouse that has great features, the one suggestion i have would be an extended pink rest.
Very good mouse, premium quality and no issues so far. The buttons are very useful and using a normal mouse feels weird now. Excited to see the Z3
Put in a order as a Christmas gift, and it was delayed for almost a month, after contacting support, Aidan determined that the shipper had lost the package but had not put forth any updates. He went ahead and sent me a new mouse using a different shipping company and it came quickly and offered a discount. Sadly I couldn't get the limited mouse pouch that came with the Z2 due to limited stock, but happy with Aidan's quick and helpful responses to resolve my issue. My friend really enjoys the mouse and told me to get myself one, I may bite the bullet to get myself a Swiftpoint V2 once my current mouse finally dies.
Perfect for me, I'm sure I use a 1/10 of its capabilities. And know about half but as a daily gamer I'm in love with it !
Title says it all. I'm an old gamer and have went through just about every gaming (and ergonomic) mouse you can think of -- the Z2 is better.
The construction feels solid, the clicks are responsive and satisfying. The software to configure is straightforward and it is HIGHLY customizable.
Nothing is perfect -- let me give you every complaint I can make about the newcomer experience -- these are all very minor, but:
1. I can't figure out forward/backward tilting. Side to side works fine.
2. I don't understand the point of the joystick adapter piece. Maybe I'm not the target audience?
3. I would like an easy way to show the click/mouse actions in the side LCD to make binding/debugging easier (there is a settings you can download that does this, but I think it should be a built-in option in the configuration app).
4. I just got the Z2 and now they have announced the Z3!
That's it. If I was forced to complain about this mouse, that's all I've got.
It's damn near perfect.
... found this mouse on an instagram add. Normally I am very sceptical about those adds. But my 2nd mouse from a big brand lastet only 4 years so I thought I give a smaller brand a try.
Can't say much about long term durability yet. But everything else has inpressed me so far.
First thing I noticed that the gliders work very well on my wooden desk. So Indon't need a mousepad that just catches dust and dirt.
On first touch I thought it is top flat for ma hand. I have big hands, mostly because of long fingers. So my palm does not rest entirely on the bulge of the mouse body. It didn't felt good at he first 1 or 2 hours of use. But after a few weeks in (and intensly playing Arc Raiders) I must say, no problems at all. I love all the buttons! One of the main reasons I bought it actually. I love that I can have alot of functions at my fingertips. Its quick and easy. You just habe to asign some keys you don't need often on the keyboard to the extra buttons and windows and games have no Problem to asign them. Works flawlessly. Setting it up didn't take much fiddeling.
And I found that because I use all these buttons regularly the position of my hand is not that static during long play sessions and in return is more relaxed in griping the mouse. Much less fatigue there.
So for now I am very well a fan.
Thank you!
My son is enjoying this mouse. He says it's very comfortable. He also says it's the best mouse he's ever had. Thank you!
I have an original Z I backed on Kickstarter. Ever since, it has been my mouse I use almost every day. Like most of the others, my scroll wheel stopped working well, and the middle click full-on stopped working.
Thankfully, I found out Swiftpoint actually sells spare parts! I ordered this PCB as it has both the scroll and middle-click, installed it, and my mouse works like new!
I have a Z2 for work (because this is the best mouse I've ever used), and I am so glad I was able to restore my original!
The Z2 has ruined every mouse I have ever used, I’m bit of a mouse snob and like trying out different mouse and the Z2 is by far the best mouse I have used, it reminds me of the old G700s. The only complaint id say is teh software takes so time getting used to.
