LOOKS: The XSoul MX8 Optical Mouse aesthetically looks great. If you knew me, you would know that the first step into getting me to like something is to make it matte. Feels smooth and looks smooth, what’s there to complain about? RGB lights are a great addition at this price point, allowing for different custom colors at each of the four also custom DPI settings. The only gripe I have about the lights is that they aren’t as bright as my other peripherals. With that said, for the price this mouse is being offered at, I have yet to see one with as many lighting options as this one.
FEEL: The first thing I noticed with this mouse is that it is a little bit shorter in length than my main G502. This led to more of my palm being dragged across my mouse pad. Though, this may be because I have fairly large hands. Two swappable palm rests are included, one taller and one shorter. The taller one works best for me because I have larger hands and tend to use a claw grip. I would rather have had a fixed one and had the extra design and costs put elsewhere in the mouse (for example the software or lighting). A rubber thumb pad is included, though for some reason while using it I keep asking myself whether it is actually helping or hindering me. Upon further inspection of the mouse when removing the palm rest, there is an area where you can remove a screw and take out a bit of plastic. I immediately thought this would allow me to remove the circular weights in the mouse, though I was completely disappointed when I realized that the weights were in there to stay.
PERFORMANCE: To start, the software allows for a wide range of DPI settings that should meet anyone’s needs. The DPI ranges from 0-4000, allowing you to choose any increment of 250. I have a dual monitor setup, one 4k monitor and one 1080p monitor, even with that much screen real-estate, 2500 DPI seems to be the sweet spot for me. A 1000 hertz polling rate is also a positive for this mouse. The buttons are all tactile and easy to reach, though the middle mouse wheel steps can be hard to feel at times.
All-in-all this is an amazing gaming mouse for the price. The software and lighting are unmatched at this price-point, and the design has no major flaws to speak of.
