Our Verdict
Endgame Gear XM2 8k
WLmouse Strider
The Endgame Gear XM2 8k and the WLmouse Strider are lightweight, high-performance gaming mice with virtually identical shapes. The Endgame Gear is a wired-only model with slightly better performance, while the WLmouse offers wireless versatility. Despite that added functionality, the WLmouse is actually a bit lighter, thanks to its magnesium alloy body. However, unlike the Endgame Gear's solid plastic shell, the WLmouse features weight-saving cutouts, which some users may find uncomfortable depending on finger placement.
