Superb, amazing, brilliant mouse. Got a Z2 to accompany by Z1 that's still running great. Recommended to anyone.
Fantastic bit of kit. The biggest challenge is muscle memory and remembering which button does what and to actually use it rather than long used keyboard defaults. The mouse feels accurate, the buttons are well placed to actually be usable, and the software is easy to learn and configure. Very occasionally it will fail to recognise a game launch, the app sits in the system tray, but, opening it up on the desktop fixes the issue.
Both of these next two are likely very personal and others will be thankful they don't exist. I wish that the scroll wheel had a more definitive click feel between incremental rotations, it's easy for me to spin past what I want (e.g. weapon swap, it feels like I end up with my primary every time as I go to far too fast).
I love mice that have placement for the fingers to rest on rather than dragging on the matt. The thumb has is own rest but the fingers on the right only a couple are supported and it would be nice if they all were. As I said, very personal wish list.
This is by far the best mouse I’ve ever used. It’s ergonomic (even if you have small fingers), it’s not too weighty, tons of advanced features, the software is easy to use. It’s the best mouse I’ve ever used by far.
This mouse is so packed with features that after hundreds of hours i’m still learning new things I can do with it. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It’s built like a tank and the company is fantastic to work with. None of the features are gimmicky. It’s a no bs, feature packed, ready to tackle any task from gaming to productivity. I wouldn’t trade buy again ten times over before going back to my previous mice.
It was clear that they were able to achieve their goal. Having the extra functionality all packed into the Z2 made this mouse a beast. It was also great to have the buttons being able to swap out into lower profile ones as I would accidentally click the default ones.
I could point out some stuff they could improve on:
-It'll be nice if it were to weigh less, but I do understand why it weighs quite a bit right now.
-Wireless/wired option
-Adding more to where the thumb grips. Right now there are two buttons stacked and it did feel awkward as I am more used to having the buttons in a front/back orientation.
In summary, its an amazing mouse with some minor issues that isn't worth costing a star. 5/5
My Scroolwheel was jumping all over the place and going up and down and some of my buttons only sometimes were responding.
Changing out the PCB board fixed all those issues on my creator mouse. Im thinking about getting another kit to fix my old Z mouse which had the same issues.
Since I have got the Swiftpoint Z2,
I never imagined that you could have so much in such densely packed mouse, it has features for days, for all sorts of applications and games, you can use the sensor to control an spacecraft or a helicopter, you can even set up the way you want to operate. The weight of the mouse while being filled to the brim, gives you an idea how much engineering the team has put with the Z2
I could never expect to see something this unique to feel also incredibly good in the hand. I honestly would get another one for other PC’s I have, working around, or browsing the web, or gaming around, you have endless choices…
I would absolutely and highly recommend this mouse, since you really get a lot on hand for the price, the way my hand sits on it feels incredibly satisfying, being able to change the parts has also been extremely easy, plus the cable you get despite being braided is so soft and flexible, you won’t even notice it that there is a braided cable.
All in all I really enjoy the purchase I made and if I could get another one on hand I would purchase again…
Truly magnificent
Have been enjoying my Z2 for more than a year. There is no other mouse like it and no mouse I'd replace it with other than another Z2. I liked it so much I bought a second just in case. Rock solid, fantastic for FPS and MOBAs. Really can't recommend it enough.
An excellent product with few, if any, shortcomings. I know I'm not using it to its full potential.
At 64 y/o I have purchased many different mouse models and thought the MX master was my favorite (and stillis one of my favorites). However after seeing the Z2 adds 2 weeks ago I had to try it. So far(it arrived yesterday) it is by far the most customizable I have owned. A bit of a learning curve but so far is not daunting, the software and many instruction videos help with personalization and will soon try out my first Mod. I am not a "gamer" by definition but play many different games. Using a mouse to play one handed is my goal to leave my other to drink a beverage is very appealing. I hope the mouse gets a lot of review and others continue to share there personalized mods for the rest of us. My only negative thought is my timing in purchasing... 3 days after placing my order the sale came out with $20 off and a free carrying case... could really have used the carring case! keep up the good work.

I've owned over 15 mice. The Swiftpoint Z2 is a top 2 mouse. What is keeping it from Top 1? Time: will this mouse last me more than 2 years?
Aside from durability concerns that are impossible to tell right now, this is one of the best software/hardware pairing I've ever used. It may seem a little hard to configure at first but it has every feature you can think of, and more.
I use the z2 all the time and it lives up to expectations! Of course with something so complex it starts to become worn after a long time, but still delivers incredible performance! 10/10
It's a real shame that a company such as yourselves has to compete with such a vast amount of scamware, cheap and faulty designs, which made it hard for me to take the dive when I kept seeing advertisements for the Z2 on Instagram. However, what I've found is such an awesome product that helps me tremendously. For context, I'm a cataloguer: we make detailed informational records for books, Audiobooks, movies, TV shows and even games and then supply it all to libraries across Australia, so having a unique mouse like this has helped make my workflow much more enjoyable. Part of me almost wants to grab another one just to play games at home, but I have small hands and it gets hard reaching over the fingertips to reach the mouse button without a big padded wrist rest like I have at work.
I used the Logitech as my main mouse, but the Swift Point is such a beautiful and well-designed mouse. I know I will use this as my main. So well designed. Definitely worth the price.
NOTHING to say exept....it's an AMAZING mouse!! love it!!
Here are the things I wished I would've learned before buying:
Cons:
The OLED stopped working pretty quickly into using it but talking with customer support they explain that it is a common issue that can be fixed. Yet if the OLED is still not functional it would be covered by it's warranty.
It's got an extremely steep learning curve, the first month of use I constantly kept misclicking. Due to the placement of the buttons I find that the most comfortable way to hold this mouse is claw grip which wasn't something I was used to.
It's incredibly difficult to use for any fps game. You will constantly misclick or can't hit a button fast enough. This took me at least a month to get over. The best solution to this is to either swap the buttons for the included low profile ones or to just remove the buttons all together.
The mouse has a lot of crevices where it can accumulate grime or dust. There are areas that are annoying to clean. You might think maybe the guy leaving this review is gross, no man, your fingers shed skin and if youre holding a mouse for a long time you're definitely going to notice the buildup.
Pros:
The swappable feet are cool and fun to play with in single player or adventure games. Although I can't say this would ever be useful in any sort of environment that isn't gaming.
I believe the software is probably the best thing this mouse has to offer. The amount of customizability it has is incredible. You get to make any button do anything you want. Additionally they provide two different interphases to the software depending on your use and intentions.
The amount of buttons is great, when I bought it I didn't know you could program a button to do more than one thing based on the amount of pressure. This was delightful to experiment with.
It's a big mouse. This mouse is CHUNKY, I have decently big hands and struggle finding a mouse where I can hold it and not feel like I'm working with a kids toy. This mouse has weight and size to it making it feel a lot better quality. Although heavy mouses might not be everyone's thing.
It's incredible for office work, once you get over the learning curve you really work significantly faster and touch a keyboard significantly less, I've used it working with Photoshop and different design softwares and its great.
It's good for games once you have actually gotten used to using it. I would mainly suggest it for very causal or single player games
Their customer support is also incredibly good and kind. They seem more than willing to find a solution to any problem you might be facing and prompt you to say what can change
Final thoughts:
This mouse is decent, it's a very good hybrid mouse. Yet the pricepoint, learning curve, and how uncomfortable it feels initially brought it down for me. I would recommend this if you work in a office environment and enjoy playing games casually.
I'm still getting used to all of the different things you can do with this mouse. There are so many options it's almost hard to wrap my head around all of the different things you can do. It's an amazing piece of tech.
I have run into problems with the program suddenly turning off buttons and I've had to go back into the setti as and "turn on" the buttons. I don't know if it's a button that I'm pressing or if it's another issue.
Pretty amazing functionality with so much customisation. It does take a bit of getting used to using everything in the mouse and can be tricky to map game controls correctly but when it works, it works well. It isn't cheap but has the most mapping you'll ever need. Definitely one that you get out what you put in.
