The workmanship on the PCB design is impressive. Unlike the Sora V2 or SPL2, which use an endoskeleton for structural integrity, the ATK F1 Ult relies on the PCB itself for strength to withstand the shell. However, this design choice may cause creaking noises because the structure is primarily supported at the bottom, making it weaker as it goes up. Hope that ATK finds another way to fix that because this is indeed a great mouse.
They offered me $5 too. If you want to go the warranty route you'll have to send the mouse back and pay for shipping to and from China. You can fix it the popping and side flex yourself by putting some tape on the parts of the PCB that touch the side walls. You can also put some tape on the lip of the bottom plate. The front on my copy was mostly fine but the back was creaking like crazy so I had to do both.
Thank you I just added some tape to that spot on the pcb under the side buttons and its like night and day, I can press as hard as I can with my thumb and it feels solid no creaking. It was driving me crazy, you just saved the mouse for me lol
@@ReelBigFudge friend, how many grams of tape did you stick?, can you still lift it?)) how do you like the new sensor?, can you feel the difference after 3395 4000hz
I wish eloshape would add dimensions of the grip width as you can have mice that look the same width from the top down but the grip can taper in depending on the shape and make a massive difference.
Side taper curvatures are the worst possible design for mice and i have no idea why designers keep putting these on some mice Ruined so many mice for me (for eg WL Beast X Max, had to tape/sticker the whole surface to make it flat)
It makes no sense why lamzu, asus, arbiter studios, etc keep trying to push exotic materials when pc plastic is better and cheaper. even this mouse could easily have no flex if they kept the internal skeleton design of the sora v2. transparent polycarbonate mice have existed forever, idk why there are barely any factories using the same tooling to make thinner lightweight shells
Pretty sure asus's overpriced mice like keris 2 ace, herpe ACe don't have such issues mentioned in the video. Same goes for razer or logitech. Cheap mice are cheapo plasticy for a reason
@@damienriot obviously china brands will have more issues, it's unrelated to the plastic. every transparent mouse is using polycarbonate (a slightly different mixture but still has similarities), it's a proven material
Yeah... At least they're releasing some good mice. Meanwhile logitech is releasing the g309 which is like a billion grams heavier than all the stuff that's on the market right now. As a long time G305 user I'm beyond disappointed. EDIT: Also don't forget about the literal scam keyboard they recently released.
I can report that on my copy that I've used heavily for the last week that I don't have any side creaking or popping. The QC on my unit is top notch. My only gripe is with the firmware side. Once in a while I'll have an unexplainable moment where mouse just stops working all together. It only lasts for about 0.5 seconds but it's enough for me to note it.
For what it's worth to you folks in the comments, my ATK F1 pro does not have the issues Boardzy is mentioning. Keep an eye out for QC issues from other reviewers and users.
I think I am lucky that I also got a perfect copy with no creaking issue. But I do have some stutter issue with 8k polling rate in Apex. I think mine 13700k and 7900xtx should be capable to handle 8k and 2k 270hz easily. So I am not sure whether it’s the mouse issue or my network issue since my network is bad with only 80mbps. Moreover, it’s surprisingly cheap if u live in Asia, I just paid less than $60 for it and it comes with a glass mousepad.
Unrelated to the video but I have a ULX lion and the battery life has gotten significantly worse over the past few weeks has this been happening to anyone else?
Honestly if you like high apm shooters like me, forget about any other mouse. I am currently in japan and there is literally every single mouse listed on youtube mouse tier lists. I tried them all, like 60 different mice. This is the only one with the crispiest clicks and nice and comfy mouse shape. I never even knew of ATK Mice before the vid. My hand size is average. I bought it after comparing all the mice. I ended up going back and forth between the ATK F1 and Sora v2 cause of similarity in shape. Ended with the F1 cause of the clicks. Youre welcome
I have the creaking/popping issue in the exact same spot under the side buttons. Its a huge shame because I love the rest of the mouse but that popping makes it feel really cheap.

@@21gramm31if you are worried about the weight use helium tape and it'll make it lighter instead.
I got a perfectly good copy and wow, truly life changing stuff.
How about coating compare superlight?
@@xelerator2398 slightly less rubbery than the superlight, but it's really good
@@xelerator2398I would say they are ultimately very similar but the F1 Ultimate feels a bit nicer and grippier. It feels almost like a ping pong ball.

That popping would totally kill it for me. You could take apart and put some tape on the lip of the bottom housing to fix that.

It's mice like these that make me continue to question why razer made the cobra pro the way it is
That was a period of insanity but razer seems to be back on track
@@boardzy Yeah, they did redeem themselves with the viper v3 pro. Meanwhile logitech is still sleeping under a rock somewhere.

it's an f1 ultimate issue i believe, kinda sucks i shouldve waited for next batch 😅
Which is strange honestly where the pro max lacks it too
@@casull2041mine is perfect
my ATK X1 Pro shell still holds up, no problems so far after 2 weeks, even after i fked up 2 screw holes by overtightening
is there a problem about the mouse? Im thinking to buy it
@@elma5978 my copy was a perfect qc one so there's been no problems
Literally got mine yesterday!
Oh man I must have got lucky. QC has been perfect on mine.
do you have the pro instead of the ultimate? the pro has different shell material
@@mmbasedgodi have the perfect one on my channel.
My ultimate is perfect also. No creacking at all.
Which model pro or pro max?
@@SpiritualPlayboy69 my f1 ultimate and x1 pro both no creaking sound at all.
same thoughts on the ATK mouse being from the same factory as the Sora v2!!! if only they had the endoskeleton structure it would've been great too.
recommendations for ergo for pincer claw? I know ergos usually arent the choice for pincer but could you give me some recommendations?
Maybe wait for the cherry xtrfy m64, other than that idk if you already tried EC style/lamzu thorn/outset ax style shapes
the new Deathadder v3 Hyperspeed maybe? i think i have a close-to-pincer-claw grip the newer smaller size feels pretty good
wow thanks you guys for the recommendations I will check them out!
Now, the x1. Please. - I have hopes on this one...
The company offered me one for free, I accepted, and they haven’t shipped it. So just waiting currently
@@boardzy I might get mine before you
Can you try the ATK x1? Its apparantly the best viper v3 clone

The stock cable is too bad to handle anything over 2K. Try using a quality cable like Razer ones and the problem should go away.
The rattling probably comes from the on/off button its very poor designed, but obviously only annoying with no/open headphones.
Unrelated to the video but I have a ULX lion and the battery life has gotten significantly worse over the past few weeks has this been happening to anyone else?
really makes me wonder why the vaxee xe-s costs like double the price of this mouse. okay it has better QC but that's like the only thing.
ATK F1, A Viper mini alternative.
Waiting for Incott Ghero saw it on your desk from AJ159 Vid.

This one or x1?
