Endgame Gear XM2
52g. PAW3395. 8K Polling. German Engineering.
Endgame Gear built the XM2 8K for one purpose: to remove every excuse for missed input. The PAW3395 sensor runs at 8K polling — 0.125ms position updates — in a shell that weighs 52g and fits claw and fingertip grip cleanly. That combination puts the XM2 8K in the same spec tier as mice costing twice as much. The difference is that Endgame Gear is a German brand building for competitive players, not a marketing department building for a spec sheet.
The Flex Cord 6.0 cable is 1.8m of near-paracord feel — minimal resistance when moving, which is the difference between a wired mouse that irritates and one that disappears from your awareness. Kailh GX switches rated to 80 million clicks. Lift-off distance adjustable from 0.7mm to 1.7mm in 0.1mm increments. The build is tight — no side panel flex, no rattle. For €79, there is no honest argument against the XM2 8K on specs alone.
If you need wireless freedom, look at the Attack Shark X3 Pro at a similar price. But if wired precision with zero-compromise hardware is what you're after, the XM2 8K is the most capable mouse at this price point in the catalog.
- Claw and fingertip grip players
- Budget FPS players who won't compromise on sensor or polling
- Wired setups — no battery, no latency variables
- Players who want EU-brand hardware under €80
- Palm grip or large hands (shell runs small)
- Wireless-only setups
- Left-handed players
The XM2 8K is what happens when a German brand decides the budget tier shouldn't mean compromise. PAW3395 sensor, 8K polling, 52g, Kailh GX switches, flexible cable — all at €79. The shell runs small and suits claw and fingertip grip best. If you play wired and want flagship-tier specs without the flagship price, this is the most credible entry point in the catalog.
