- Hey everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The mel0n Review! Today we're checking out the Endgame Gear OP1 8k! Now this mouse peaked my interest for variety of reasons, of course the included 8k polling, custom switches and overall performance profile of the OP1 8k seems borderline too good to be true. But what really caught my eye is the hot-swappable switches and the repairability of the OP1 8k! Now I'll talk more about the repairability in the TEARDOWN video but in today's video we're going to do a deep-dive into the OP1 8K and see how good this mouse really is.
I hope you all enjoy the review and I'll catch you all in the next episode of the mel0n review! Peace ✌

#OP18K #EGGOP18k - เกม
Holy you got wide hands brother, I'm like 7.25 inch x 3.75 inch hand size using OP18K. It's such a good mouse I literally haven't used any other mouse out of the 30+ mice in my collection.
30+ bruh, thats kool
Wow, what an outstanding review! Thanks so much.
Honestly love that you added the sheet of the different switches
What do you mean Zowie? This is Endgame Gear
@dfahbqaduhj yeah my fault I thought I was on the zowie one
Really neat and detailed review!
Thanks so much!
I agree with you 100% that wired mice feel better than wireless. I have a theory that while wireless motion and click latency is negligible, there may be a simple accuracy difference between wired and wireless by just a couple pixels or something. A couple pixels is basically nothing when flicking long distances, but it can be a huge difference in micro adjustments, which is my main difficulty with wireless mice. I’ve been using the usb-c cable that comes with the Xlite V3’s to use every mouse wired. It’s lightweight enough to make up for any lack of flexibility, and can support up to 8K wired on mice that support it.
Oh yeah and wired 1khz > 4k/8k wireless
I use this mouse with my fingertip grip. That 118 mm is short enough for my hands where my hand isn't resting on it's hump, and it's low hump is enough where my palm isn't resting on it. It's great.
Been using the mouse for a week on 4k hz coming from super light I enjoy it much more will probably get another pair in white
It is so nice to see that EGG is joining Vaxee when it comes to perfection of mechanical switches. I tried so many mice with opticals and nothing comes close. I am not into wired mice though and the OP1 is too narrow for me. I hope they finally make the XM2w reality with the same switch tech. Until then or Vaxee further reducing weight I will continue running my NP01.
Hopefully we'll see the XM2w in 2024 😅
I might pick this up. Need it for my next play through of Half-Life. Need the best tech for that one.
I just bought this mouse today. Waiting on delivery. I bought it mainly for repair ease in case a switch dies. I shud have done more research i guess. I dont claw grip and neither does my son. I hope i dont regret the purchase. And i hope my son doesnt cry its too small. Wish me luck
How is motion sync and do you use it, and your thought about it?
There is a lot of debates about motion sync and it effectiveness. Personally I've been using it for a while and while it doesn't make a noticeable difference it's better than nothing if that makes sense. Totally up to personal preference whether to use it or not.
@@mel0nFPS 1:13 What game is it? And very informative review, thanks man.
@@manuelortega5035 Bad Business on roblox!
The OP1 8k was literally my knight in shining armor because my previous favourite mouse and shape was the X2V2 mini and it's so similar to it. The two things I didn't enjoy about that mouse was that 4k was not worth using because of the battery so 8k wired fixed that. The other was how optical switches just feel noticeably worse than mechanical ones, on any mouse I've tried and the OP1 uses mechanicals and you can just put in whatever switches you want. I installed a light weight base mod as well, made it even nicer. I still use my X2V2 mini when playing on cloth pads when I get bored.
I highly recommend this mouse to anyone who also loves the X2V2 mini shape.
I just got a base mod for mine too, makes the mouse even better than it already was!
@@mel0nFPS Really nice man, loving it as well. :D
I gotta ask, do you actually sense the tracking difference between a 4K or even a 2k wireless mouse and the Op1 8k? I saw you on hit scan DPS on OW, would you honestly know the sensor diff on a blind test?
So I don't really feel a difference in tracking per say but I can tell when it comes to flicking/static aiming as on 2 & 4k my flicking performance is significantly more accurate & consistent than it is on 1k.
I know it sounds kinda crazy but it's a pattern I've noticed on high polling rate mice over my testing with different units & implementations.
@@mel0nFPS sorta saying you can tell it arrives at the intended destination at the end of movement faster and that makes you snap click at the end sooner. I think at 40 I don’t perceive that anymore, sad 🤣
@@brunotolomeotti1204 Kinda like that, its hard to put into words other than it feels snappier 😅
@@mel0nFPS I feel the same way about flicking, I even feel the difference between 2k and 4k thought I was going crazy 😂I have yet to try 8k, but my flicks on 4k feel snappier and more accurate/consistent compared to 2k-1k. I'm on the same mouse btw OP1 8K.
But from my testing 4k starts to cause fps drop when moving the mouse (in some games, specifically non gpu demanding games where you get very high fps). No noticeable performance drop on 2k.
nice tracking
Between op1 8k and the x2v2 mini wich one do you choose atm? Ty for the video ❤
OP1 8K by a mile. It's the best performing mouse of the year so far, the X2V2 while being good isn't even close in terms of performance.
@@mel0nFPS what abt sora v2
How do you bring up the software? I’m new to mouses.
You can download the software from EGG's website! www.endgamegear.com/en-ca/downloads/op1-8k
@@mel0nFPS
Thank you so much
I got an OP1 8K recently, i wonder how you have firmware 1.15 already when only 1.09 is available on their website?
I was testing their newer firmware while I was reviewing the unit, there isn't a huge difference between the two versions just some small tweaks. They should be releasing the 1.15 software soon If I'm not mistaken!
You are way better than boardzy , very nice.video man
what is your mousepad of choice for this mouse?
You can use pretty much any pad you want but I'd avoid super soft-pads because the stock skates are so thin.
@@mel0nFPS any idea when raven mori will be back in stock?
What polling rate do you use it with playing on Valorant?? Doesn't it stuuter on 8k?
I have an older PC so I mainly used 2 and 4k polling, 8K works but I get random frame-drops.
@@mel0nFPS Do you have motion sync on or off?? Idk which one is better for fps games like valorant sorry
@@equiknox_ Optional feature, I leave it on for most of my mice, better to leave it on in my opinion, no real downside to having it enabled
What an incredible video review as always, and what an incredible looking mouse! Good to hear that Endgame Gear has definitely created something worthy of that name.
Now all they have to do is make an ergo 👀
@@mel0nFPS 🥲
@@mel0nFPSalready on it. Will be a good while though until it's released.
@@lepari9986 😍😍😍
This is my favorite mouse, but palm grip is super uncomfortable for me after long periods. 17 cm hands here
Basically have to use my DAV3 for action rpgs and tracking training.
I'm in the same boat here, love the mouse but its just too small, wish they were a larger version.
Nothing can beat this mouse hands down!! i use it over everything. BTW best review period!!
sadly, it wasn't available here😢. i went for the sora v2 instead and i am loving it.
Was about to buy the Razer Viper V3 Pro mouse and then I found this. Ended up buying OP1 8k with the Razer Mouse Bungee V3 😎😊
Good choice! If you want a little more flexibility with the bungee I'd highly recommend getting the Pulsar eS bungee! It's in my opinion the best bungee on the market and it's amazing for wired mice like the DAV3 & OP1 8K!
@@mel0nFPS Thanks, I ll check it out!
@@mel0nFPS wow I just saw it and I think I ll cancel my order cause I was searching for something that attaches on the monitor and that seems AMAZING. Thank you so much my man 🙏🏻
@@JimKll No problem at all! When you get the OP1 8k be sure to update the firmware via EGG's discord to take full advantage of the special GX switches and their speed-modes!
@@mel0nFPS Bro I saw a review of the bungee. I am buying it. I didnt want any extra stuff on my desk anyways. You are the best. Thanks for all the tips! I am subbing! 🙌🏻
But Melon why is it called the OP 18k if it can't do 18k polling?
Endgame gear on fraud watch? 🤔
the name of the mouse is OP1. Then it has 8k polling, looks like 18k, but has 8k. OP1 8k.
@@Krigariobut the mouse is called O and then polling18k
OP1 regular vs OP1 8k?
Personally speaking, I think OP1 8K is better than the OP1 purely off of performance. Yes, it is wired. But if you just get a Pulsar eS Bungie you can make it feel borderline wireless.
Hello me0n
Why don’t you rate the products that you are viewing? Like give them your score from 1 through 10 .
Great question! because mouse shapes are so subjective due to different grip styles and hand sizes I wouldn't be accurate for me to rate a mouse out of 1-10 as my grip style won't be the same as 99.9% of my audience. From a technical standpoint I could rate things 1-10 but there's also some variance there too.
That's why I just say what's good and bad about a mouse, mousepad or grip tape etc as it's the most accurate way of covering a product.
@@mel0nFPS fair enough
They do sell replacement cables for this mouse
Oh if you select shipping to canada they don't appear in the store that's probably why you didn't see it. But here in europe you can get them from their website
They do! I found them on EGG's site & on Amazon surprisingly enough!
i hate you! you just made me order one against my will 😂❤
Eh, After using wireless.
The wire on wired mice feels like ass to me. (Not in a good way :p)
Been switching back and forth between the lamzu maya and this. Can’t even feel the cable
Using a good bungee is a big part of using wired mice, I used the Pulsar eS bungee and it felt "wireless" but it'll vary from personal preference etc.
@@mel0nFPS At my 45CM/360 I need enough slack that I can still feel the cable drag around.
Especially with blink 180s as Tracer with lighter or smaller mice.
I find that a mouse bungee ends up making it worse than without, as it puts the cables slack between the bungee and the mouse.
So if I quickly drag the mouse from the bottom of the pad to the top. The mouse will bump into the cable. Sometimes causing the cable to go over the mouse and my hand, or even under my mouse if I lift it.
My favorite mouse wire I used was one I made from an ethernet cable. Since it was super light but still stiff.
So if I move my mouse quickly up the pad the wire would move with it staying out of the path of my mouse.
What game is that low poly FPS? Also got my OP18K today, got it next to my Viper V3 Pro to test out polling rate implementations etc and damn... it's nice.
It's called Bad Business, it's on Roblox!
@@mel0nFPS Alright, thanks for the reply!
I love everything about this mouse, except the cable :(
Pulsar eS bungee makes the wire a non-issue!
I picked the OP1 8k over getting the ULX or WLMOUSE and I'm glad I did because the raw performance of this thing is no joke. It's super responsive and I don't have to worry about signal inconsistencies since it's wired. Fantastically balanced in its weight distribution too. 100% recommend this mouse over the more flashy wireless mice you see out on the market. I'm also glad you reviewed it, because you're very articulate in your reviews and I trust your input for these things. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the kind words! The OP1 8k is truly a special mouse! I can't wait to see what they cook up next!
8k is so useless. But the price is very good. Is there an wireless version of it?
yes but there using some very bad implemented optical switches that are a harder press and only 1k but its at good price to pick up aswell
There is the OP1we with 1k polling but fairly different specs
yeap 8k IS USELESS ur spending 40 bucks more for nothing gg
annoying wired, trashy switches, narrow widths -> skip
