Our Verdict
Endgame Gear XM2 8k
Endgame Gear XM2w 4k
The Endgame Gear XM2w 4k and the Endgame Gear XM2 8k are models in the same lineup that share the same shape. Both mice are exceptionally good competitive gaming picks so choosing between them largely comes down to your preference for wireless versatility. The XM2w 4k has wireless connectivity while the XM2 8k is a wired-only model. That said, the XM2 8k also supports a higher polling rate of 8000Hz, providing slightly better and more consistent raw gaming performance.
