Swiftpoint Z2

I bought the Swiftpoint Z2 about a couple months ago, and it has not let me down. The features they advertise DO actually do exactly what you would expect. Nothing about this mouse feels half assed. When it comes to hardware and functionality, the Swiftpoint Z2 mouse has some novel features, but also some very useful features I take advantage of.

I would consider the more novel features of the mouse to be its built in display, deep click, haptics, and tilt settings. You may not get the most use out of these, but they are implemented very well. I have found niche uses for them in certain games, they are great talking points, and have prove useful in unique scenarios. For example, I had rarely used the tilt feature for many applications, but when I had taken it over to a friends house to use, the tilt + display let me adjust the DPI and see an exact readout of the setting it was on, just by tilting the mouse and scrolling the wheel. It made it extremely easy for me and my friend to switch between our desired DPI in a fun way without having to install the software for the mouse on my friends machine.

As for the more practical features, the button placement is very useful. I have found myself using the buttons inline with the left/right click very helpful for using a claw grip on the mouse, along with the buttons that can click both forward and backwards. The mouse wheel does not have the ability to perform separate left and right middle clicks. This is something I am actually perfectly fine with as it means I will not accidentally perform one of those actions when pushing the mouse wheel down. The mouse wheel also has the added benefit of perform a middle click when pushed from its left side, allowing you to middle click without lifting up your pointer finger.

When it comes to the actual mouse software, it is very straight forward and intuitive. I was previously a user of the Logitech G502 series of mice, but had felt let down by Logitech's mice quality and the egregiously bloated UI for their software, the latter being a major problem for me. It is MUCH easier to program the Swiftpoint Z2, and has the benefit of having an underlying advanced UI in order to program the more complex/advanced mouse macros.

The last thing I have to say about this mouse is that it feels a little more ergonomic than the previous gaming mice I have used. The way the left and right mouse buttons are on slightly different levels, has my wrist angled a little bit towards a more natural resting position that feels just a little bit better, but it is clear it was not a design focus of this mouse and is very similar with other mouse of its shape.

I am very happy with this mouse and the only thing I am unclear of when it comes to this mouse is how durable it will be in the long term of my ownership of it.

The mouse exceeded my expectations in terms of comfortability and utility. The X1 control panel vastly exceeded my expectations, as it proved to be very reliable, intuitive, and fleshed-out with all of the features I would ever want. The only downside i can think of is that the force sensors are a little inconsistent and the calibration is slightly finicky, but - as a fan of that feature - I would not consider it a dealbreaker for customers. I would recommend it for casual gaming and any form of productivity.

Best mouse out there. A nice software update too.

I orignally gamed on console intill the last 5 years, the mouse and keyboard took some time to get use to, I missed the feedback from the controller and versatility of Input actions you can do with your right hand. Plenty of tutorials on YT to learn how to configure it to your personal specs. cant use another mouse for FPS
