Our Verdict
EVGA X17
EVGA X12
The EVGA X12 and the EVGA X17 are gaming mice in the same product lineup, but they have some noteworthy differences. The X12 is significantly lighter and has a true ambidextrous design with a thumb and pinky rest. It also has a more flexible cable and better click latency. On the other hand, the X17 has a right-handed shape with a thumb rest and has a set of additional weights you can add to adjust the weight distribution. Both mice have maximum polling rates of 8000Hz.
