I have to disagree with this. My OP1 8K still feels solid and there isn't any noticeable flexing during general or gaming use. If you have the base yourself did you install it correctly? if something is misaligned, the unit will feel flexy, but if you install it correctly, there isn't a noticeable difference between the bases besides the weight.
@@mel0nFPS The flex for me is below the side buttons as well as the opposite side, its towards the bottom and the flex is very minor but It's enough to distract me during use, I wish the base actually made some sort of contact with the side walls, because if I press hard enough I can even activate the side buttons without pressing them
Nice video! Yea the base mod feels great on the OP1 8K and with the Tj Plastix dots is really good. But it seems like I wasn't the only one breaking the base when installing the base mod. For my situation, it was the front hook that hooks onto the top shell that had snapped a bit. But shoutout to TJ Exclusive for sending out a replacement right away!
TJ bases are incredible, I was sent a less than stellar base on occasion but they were very quick with sending a replacement, great service. Also, I am officially on the kin, this thing is fricken incredible, I don't think I can go back to cloth lol
the problem with this base is going to be the scroll wheel flexing.. i been testing my own 3d version and if the base is to flexy its going to make the scroll grinding issue.. just a heads up
I haven't had any issues with the scroll wheel on my bases, nor the base on my DAV3 but I can see that happening. You could always put a skate near the area to stabilize it to prevent this!
Great review as always! Love the vids man, i dont have the op1 8k but i do have an op1we coming soon and i wanna know if u have any suggestions on reducing the weight on that as we?
None that I know off, but TJX may make a base for the OP1we! You can always dm them and ask them to make it, should be pretty easy to do so since its so similar to the OP1 8K!
Is the back of the mouse stable here with just 4 skates? With the stock base I use 5 dot/donut skates, where one is in the back behind the screws, otherwise the it wobbles whenever I shift the mouse into my palm with fingertip-style grip.
Yeah mine has been totally fine! Fun fact about the stock base on the OP1 8K. A lot of them are actually slightly uneven. I noticed this when I reviewed the TJX plasticx skates apparently it's a widespread issue with the OP1 8K. It's not very noticeable when you have the full size stock skates on but if you use dot skates it's very noticeable.
@@mel0nFPS Mine is actually pretty good. One of the first things I checked after removing the original skates. Good to know the custom base doesn't have the same issue, since I prefer to use the bare minimum number of skates haha.
Hey. I think the base would hold up OK. The only issue area would be the back as it can bent/warp if pressure is put on it. I think it would survive a rougher usage, but it'll really depend on how hard you're slamming your mouse.
nvm, just got mine and turns out once installed, there's a little plastic part that sticks out from the base that touches that switch and when you press on the base the dpi changes.

Looks terrible after installation... sorry
The compromise is the build quality, flexes more than a finalmouse ULX
Slight intense in gameplay, it will flex to oblivion.

TJX are the goats fr

Glad you're enjoying the KIN, it's a great pad!
This base is amazing I literally cannot go back

nice review. sadly the base probably won't be available here, but i am always glad to see some aftermarket parts to reduce weight 😊
TJX Ships pretty much everywhere! Depending on your location DM them on X and see if they can quote you shipping!
@@mel0nFPS I'll give it a try 😊
shout out to jeffrey for coming back to review mice ❤🔥🔥🔥

tj should make a base for the sora v2
That's a fantastic idea! They always take community suggestions for upcoming bases so let them know on X and they might just make it!
Can you review the OGM pro v2 from Waizowl?
It's on my list! I was hoping to get a unit at launch but I've been super busy, will try to get my hands on one soon though!
Think it's a sign to buy one this my 12th video about this mouse
There's an X2M 8k and WE coming out soon too, plus an OP1 refresh!

Would the base hold up while playing fortnite? I tend to slam my mouse onto my desk a lot when playing.

Can you install any skates on the modded base?
Yup! The entire base is flat, there's no base cutouts like there is one normal mouse base so you can put the skates anywhere you want!
how you change dpi without bottom button
nvm, just got mine and turns out once installed, there's a little plastic part that sticks out from the base that touches that switch and when you press on the base the dpi changes.
Oh my bad! I thought I replied to you about the plastic pin but I guess my comment didn't show up, sorry about that!
hope EGG cuts down the op1 8k, the base, the scroll wheel, etc could be cut down
Do you have myopia brother?
I do but I also have REALLY bad eyes, -14+ in each 💀
holy this is kind of a hackjob
