Our Verdict
EVGA X17
EVGA X15
The EVGA X15 and the EVGA X17 are similar mice from the EVGA X lineup; however, the X15 is designed for MMO gaming, and the X17 is better suited for FPS gaming. The X17 comes with five additional weights to optimize the weight of the mouse, and it has two lift-off sensors on the bottom, meaning you can adjust the lift-off distance in the companion software. Also, the X17 has a sniper button and a thumb rest, and medium hands should be able to use it comfortably. On the other hand, the X15 has many more programmable inputs thanks to its ten-button side panel. Although both mice use the same sensor model, our X15 unit tends to overshoot the set CPI a fair amount, while the X17 tends to undershoot the set CPI by a similar amount.
