Product Information

Some cables are so good these days, with a bungee, they basically feel wireless. But they’re still tethered. And during high pressure moments in games, you don’t want to risk lifting your mouse to reset it, you just want to keep moving as far as your pad goes. That’s where wireless really has the advantage. Wired and wireless performance is basically the same now, so it’s that freedom to move the mouse anywhere that sets itself apart.“ The included paracord cable charges the mouse, and it is very lightweight which is nice for times when you still want to play while charging. Cost It’s a pretty small mouse. 111mm is shorter than any gaming mouse that I can recall using in a long time, and 59mm width is also pretty narrow. Personally, I believe that one of the most important parts of a gaming mouse is the scroll wheel, so it was nice to see that this one was consistent. The notches find the perfect balance between stiff and smooth, so you can cycle through nice and easy. Performance All-weekend LAN or 24-hour marathon stream? No worries. The battery gives you up to 75* hours of playtime. And when it’s time to charge, connect the cord and continue playing. The MZ1 Wireless comes with an Xtrfy EZcord® Pro charging cable, for smooth movements even when the mouse is plugged in.

Effortless Glide for Fast Plays: The MZ1 features 100 % PTFE skates with rounded edges for smoother glide, while the shape and hole structure of the shell make for a steadier grip. Enhancing airflow under your palm, the holes also help you stay comfortable. I absolutely love this. Everything you need to get going for years and years can be found in the box. It’s especially nice to see replacement feet included in the box of a mouse that’s aimed at hardcore gamers, as those users are far more likely to care about their skates degrading, so it’s definitely nice to see that Xtrfy thinks about that with all of their releases. Shape, Coating, and Mouse Feet The crisp illumination of Xtrfy’s mice is even more impactful with the translucent shell of the MZ1. Choose your color. Switch between numerous LED effects. Adjust the brightness. Or turn the illumination off. All settings are made directly on the mouse. State of the Art Components:Selected by one of the toughest critics in the world, the components in the MZ1 are top-tier and well-proven. Under the shell, you will find an ARM 32-bit microcontroller and the Pixart 3389 sensor.If like me, you’re the type of person that regularly changes DPI depending on what you’re doing with the mouse, this will be an inconvenience. The Kailh GM 8.0s are so popular in the gaming mice market that it’s almost boring, but that’s only because they’re so efficient and you simply don’t fix something that’s not broken.

You can also change the weight distribution of the mouse by changing the position of the battery. If you prefer a top-heavy, bottom-heavy, or balanced mouse, all you have to do is unscrew a few screws and move the battery to achieve your desired result. Coating ESports-Grade Wireless Performance: 1000 Hz Polling Rate. The same speed and responsiveness as XTRFY's wired mice, without a wire. The old reliable Pixart 3370 sensor is still a high-performance and energy-efficient sensor. There are better sensors out there for flagship gaming mice, but this one performs just fine. One thing that I did notice was that the side buttons are very small, even for a small mouse. It’s another one of the reasons why I believe that certain sections of gamers will struggle to use this mouse as a daily driver. However, it also means that you need to be aware of the physical limitations of using the mouse in relation to your own preferences before you buy.Shape is King. The Number 1 factor when it comes to aim. Re-invented by a legend in the game. The MZ1, Zy's Rail but now with lag-free wireless connectivity. When placed correctly, I don’t mind shell holes as they give my palm some room to breathe, especially during extended gaming sessions. However, the holes that run along the sides of the Xtrfy MZ1 seem to be exactly where my fingers should go. Play Up To 75 Hours On One Charge: The battery gives you up to 75 hours of playtime. And when it's time to charge, connect the cord and continue playing. The MZ1 Wireless comes with an Xtrfy EZcord Pro charging cable, for smooth movements even when the mouse is plugged in. The Xtrfy M4 mouse also had the same DPI levels and no companion software to cycle through them easily, so it looks like this is a habit of the manufacturer, albeit a bad one.

I might be a little critical here, I realize that. The creaking doesn’t influence my gameplay (and the problem is less exaggerated than it was on my MZ1 wired test copy) but it’s odd that out of all the Xtrfy mice I tested this MZ1 line of mice consistently performs the worst in the ‘creaking test’. Again: not a gameplay issue, but just a touch disappointing and, depending on your tolerance, annoying. Sensor and Everyday Performance I also think that the way the holes in the shell have been placed slightly defeats the purpose of having holes in the first place. The coating on the MZ1 Wireless still doesn’t feel fantastic. It’s not as grippy as it could be, though that’s not something that’s an issue since the holes do help with grip. Still, if Xtrfy ever moves to solid shells I’d like to see a change in the coating because this gloss/matte hybrid isn’t something that I personally like. That physical footprint alienates gamers that prefer mice with enough palm support, but it’s great for those that prefer to have more room to enable micro aim adjustments by the fingers. The narrow width also makes it feel like the mouse is barely there when you’re holding it, which some people might enjoy. Customization Of course I did do the usual ‘stress tests’: shaking the mouse doesn’t reveal any abnormal noise, and squeezing it causes little to no flex. There’s still creaking, though. Whenever I put pressure on the shell it tends to creak (no matter where I apply this pressure). This isn’t something that annoys me enough to call it an issue, but it is of course not great either. Again we circle around to a point I made earlier on in the review: if this is indeed a performance-focused product, then why not cut the RGB and use those weight savings to focus on a more solid shell?The Xtrfy MZ1 Wireless uses the 3370 sensor instead of the 3389 that was found in the wired version. Both of those sensors are absolutely flawless, and just like in the wired version the sensor has been implemented perfectly here. It performs without any hiccups and doesn’t spin out, and Xtrfy’s wireless performance has been shown to be perfectly reliable in the past as well. Upon unboxing the MZ1 Wireless I immediately noticed that not a lot had changed in the looks department, and I think that that’s a bit of a shame. The community as a whole seems to be well past cheese grater designs in mice, and while I personally don’t mind the holes (I do prefer a solid shell these days, but I have no issues using a mouse with holes in it) I have to say that I think this mouse would look (and feel, in case you’re someone who dislikes the feeling of holes under your fingers) a whole lot better with a solid shell. In-game, the mouse felt pretty nice despite its shape. My grip was not very consistent, but that was largely due to the fact that it did not feel built for my hand.
