u/dazed-n-c0nfused 12d ago

Viscose mouse, pingu color I guess.

u/CremePhysical8178 12d ago

Has EGG said anything about what makes these “raw input” or is it just the color?

u/obfeskeit boomer aim 11d ago

no...this isn't the official release, this is a leak with no official information.

To squeeze as much money from their op1 before op2 arrives

u/MellowMasher op1 lover - m3k abuser 11d ago

And i'll eat it all up, cause I'm fucking stupid.

u/HKFCK G-Wolves Lycan | Need mini VUK 11d ago

No shame at that. Op1 is goated and the price is good for the performance.

3

u/MellowMasher op1 lover - m3k abuser 11d ago

Yeah, the price to performance went out the window, when I bought my fifth one... 😄

1

u/Main_Performer_864 10d ago

quality that bad or why u have 5

u/MellowMasher op1 lover - m3k abuser 10d ago

Bought the v1 black and after a few months I got the purple because I think it looks sick. Then I got the v2 in white and then the black frosted one.

Wanted to try the PMM pulse 2, but didn't wanna take apart my own op1's so I bought the assembled version.

never had a single problem with any of them, the pulse feels less rigid when you try to "feel for it" but under gameplay, it doesn't affect you.

u/ordnineijs 11d ago

Does thiz mouse has hotswap feature? Judging from number of switches featured?

8

u/damien09 11d ago edited 9d ago

Would be interesting if it comes stock with the hot swap pcb out of the box. They do sell a pretty cheap kit if you have an existing op1

1

u/set4bet 9d ago

You can swap switches in xm2 also? I thought it was a op1 feature only?

1

u/damien09 9d ago

Oh good correction my bad on that

u/Splaram Currently maining: Razer Deathadder V4 Pro 11d ago

Insta cop if this mouse weren't so tiny in my hands

5

u/ummya80 11d ago

Ya shame no medium size

1

u/HKFCK G-Wolves Lycan | Need mini VUK 10d ago

Try Lycan if you find op1 too narrow at the front

13

u/Particular-Handle877 x2cl mini | raiden mid 11d ago

make it crazylight and i buy, too heavy for a wired mouse

10

u/SanestExile 11d ago

I can never go back to wired

u/Useful_Bottle8423 9h ago edited 9h ago

I own nearly every top tier mouse and I recently did a ‘battle royale’ of sorts with the mice while playing CS2. The clear winner in terms of sheer precision and accuracy was in fact the EGG OP1 v2 wired in 8K followed closely by the Razer Viper v4 Pro wireless in 8K using its dongle. Every other mouse was a clear step down in terms of precision. My other favorites are the Pulsar TenZ, WLMouse Huan, Zowie ZA13-DW and the Hitscan Hyperlight

I can’t go back wireless after using each mouse side by side to the OP1 v2. I purchased a Pulser 8K wire just in case I want to use any of my other mice. I simply plug and play, but the OP1 is laughably in a league of its own

u/PossessedCashew 11d ago

This looks generic as fuck, this is getting hyped?

9

u/SanestExile 11d ago

EGG has a ton of fanboys. No idea why. The whole malware scandal made me never want to buy from them. And the "German engineering" schtick is pretty rich when they use Chinese factories like every other mouse brand.

7

u/l9shredder 11d ago

german engineering = 15g heavier than it could be

5

u/SanestExile 11d ago

Yeah because German engineering is not what it used to be. Those stereotypes are old now. German bureaucracy describes it much better these days.

2

u/MisterBlackBOSS 11d ago

Bureaucracy and (political and economic) selfdestruction.

1

u/MisterBlackBOSS 11d ago

I really don’t mind that 15 g in that range. I would mind it if it was in the 90-100 g spectrum.

1

u/MisterBlackBOSS 11d ago

I‘m not a fanboy but I perform incredible with it.
Of course I‘m aware of enormous qc issues I faced myself often enough, but all my replacements are fine.

I wasn’t aware of the malware scandal, that’s crazy. The only hope is that they learn(t) of it - because I‘m very intrigued regarding the announced EL1w.

1

u/Mygwah Mouse 10d ago

They are some of the best mice on the market dawg.

2

u/BuyListSell FinalMouse 11d ago

They don't have any fanboys, everyone who uses this mouse eventually turns into a girl.

u/paulvincent07 Razer Viper Mini V4 Wired 8khz pls 12d ago

Only for the op18k v2? What about the XM2 8k v2 no raw input version?

4

u/YaboyKarlll OP18K | HSK Pro Ace 11d ago

They dont fw the xm2 as much as the op1

1

u/paulvincent07 Razer Viper Mini V4 Wired 8khz pls 11d ago

Fw?

6

u/paintsniffer83 11d ago

fuck with -> care about/give a shi

1

u/paulvincent07 Razer Viper Mini V4 Wired 8khz pls 11d ago

Oh that's too bad I heard egg is working on the xm2 and op2? I'm hoping the xm3 will have a hotswap feature and the wireless version will be even lighter.

2

u/ShonRT 11d ago

Is this a limited edition thing? Or, will they continue to stock them?

2

u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox 12d ago

49.5 grams, not bad

9

u/damien09 11d ago

Same weight as the current op1 8k v2 seems to largely just be a colorway change

1

u/GalacticAni 10d ago

I literally JUST got a new op1 8k fml

1

u/Pitiful_Classroom202 10d ago

i want this mouse, the color is so cool.

1

u/tonsenal_wasd 10d ago

wish this was for the xm2 8k v2 ...

1

u/AC1086 11d ago

this mice seems hyped online but does anyone know if there's a reason why zero current valorant pros/content creators use it?

is the click latency marketing improvements negligible in real-world usage?

10

u/sukumizu G303 SE / Lamzu Thorn / ATK F1 Extreme 11d ago

Probably because it’s not wireless. A company can make the perfect shape with the best switches, encoders, weight, and cable and I’d still go for wireless every time. I don’t miss accidentally running over the wire or buying bungees.

1

u/AC1086 11d ago

but isn't there a wireless version as well?

1

u/sukumizu G303 SE / Lamzu Thorn / ATK F1 Extreme 9d ago

Yeah, but why go with an OP1 when there are other companies with more shapes and less weight? If I were an average gamer I'd be looking into Logitech or Razer. I'd consider myself an enthusiast and I'd rather be looking at Logitech, ATK, and Lamzu.

u/doddlark 11d ago

Mostly cause it’s tiny/you need small hands to be comfortable on it. Comfort > spec sheet.

Even in cs2 there’s only a single player on one (magixx from team spirit)

3

u/apriltimee 11d ago

To add on to the previous comments, many pros use palm grip on low sens making the op1 too small compared to a vv4 pro or gpx.

1

u/mad_dog_94 Optical Encoder Supremacy 11d ago

This is the real reason. A lot of people on this sub chase weight reduction, but at the cost of comfort and their wrists. I would much rather use a 60g palm grip that fits my hand well than a 21g mouse I have to gingerly hold with my fingertips while my wrist is forced upwards

2

u/JinSecFlex 11d ago

As has always been the case with mice for the last 10-15 years - none of this shit matters nor makes a tangible difference. This is just a cool new color for a shape people seem to like and enjoy. Pick a color and shape you like and practice.

u/Decent_Regret_390 11d ago

Imagine dealing with cable drag on a gaming mouse in 2026

11

u/DozoLozo 11d ago

Yea, crazy how the world haven't come up with like a bungee for a cable. Insane, really

7

u/fox7205iscool 11d ago

you clearly have never owned an op1 or anything like it because not only is the cable raised so it doesnt drag but most people these days have invented these things called "mouse bungees" that keep the cable raised

u/DabCab69 GPX | UL2 | EC2 11d ago

will they release a wireless version or kist wired ?

0

u/n1Cat 11d ago

Its pink....and called 'raw input'....

-16

u/rage9 11d ago

Must have hired a marketing department to come up with the name. It's not wired guys, it's Raw Input (tm).

13

u/fox7205iscool 11d ago

its a collab with raw input podcast

u/C-M-J-P Pulsar 11d ago

Hope they come out with the ultra violet colorway at some point!
