Xtrfy M4 RGB

Unusual mouse with a perforated body

Released in the spring of 2020, the Xtrfy M4 RGB gaming mouse has been a top seller in less than a year, beating many time-tested options from Razer, SteelSeries and Logitech in popularity. For starters, the Xtrfy M4 RGB draws attention with its cheese-like mesh body. Literally the entire case, starting from the lid, continuing with the sides and ending with the bottom part, is generously perforated with small hexagonal holes. Logically, this design increases the reliability of the grip (the mouse slides less) and, moreover, looks great with the backlight turned on. Well, the body colours look bold. Especially if you take not the classic black, but blue, white or pink.

Lightweight mouse with excellent balance

The second reason for the increased interest lies in ergonomics. Xtrfy boasts that this is the lightest and most ergonomic right-handed mouse on the market. Moreover, a small weight for a mouse is not necessarily good, otherwise no one would buy models with additional weights. However, the manufacturer claims that the notorious Swedish e-sportsmen from the NIP team tested the shape of the mouse. On our own, we add that with balancing and convenience, she really has a complete order: if the brush is not miniature, then the grip turns out to be excellent, the hand does not get tired after a couple of hours, and the side keys can be easily reached with any type of grip. The resistance and actuation point are optimally matched to the weight and shape. With sliding on different surfaces, too, complete order.

Omron switches and PixArt 3389 sensor

Otherwise, this is a modern gaming mouse with a claim to the title of an eSports accessory. There are Omron switches that are a must for any serious model, as well as the high-end PixArt 3389 sensor, which is increasingly found in mid-range mice. It is only strange that there are no utilities for additional adjustment of sensitivity, backlight and macros in the kit. Here are the sensitivity switching buttons and that's it. It is clear that everyone has their own requirements for mice, but we have somehow become attached to such personalization opportunities. Otherwise, the machine is excellent, but not to say that it is much better than the same HyperX Pulsefire or the second generation Razer DeathAdder.
