Thanks for the kind words and review, and for talking about the adjustment period! To elaborate ... I designed this mouse based on a lot of the best features from other mice that I thought helped aim (and comfort to a degree, but mainly aim). After testing over 150 mice, my hand has adapted to so many that I'm not really bothered by many shapes, I can usually find a grip and play well. So this gives me a bit of an "unbiased" mindset, in the sense I'm not locked into using one shape, I can use pretty much all of them. This meant I was free to just go with whatever features that could help aim on my own design. It took me 3 weeks to adjust to the Razer Diamondback before my hand stopped hurting, then it became one of my best mice for aim at the time. So that's the period I recommend using a new mouse for, 3 weeks. I understand if you need to return mice because you can't afford to keep them that long, but if you can, stick with the mice (especially the top recommendations) for at least 3 weeks. That goes for the MZ1 and all other mice we recommend too, Razer, Logitech, Zowie, etc. 3 weeks. That's the mark that I've found. Hope it helps! And amazing footage as always, you're the master, Dm!

If they release a wireless version, man, day one buy.

Great to hear you like this MZ1 Dimitri. It's definitely an acquired taste but for me, it's my favourite mouse ever. I became a bit obsessed with ultralight mouse of lockdown and ended up trying all the usual suspects. The MZ1 came out and blew them all away. It has legitimately made my aim better and won't be getting swapped out any time soon.

I love that you don't need to download a junk program to customize it.

Continue .....the great work 🔥🔥

Love this mouse, give it a chance, learning curve is certainly there and it took me more time to adjust because I was palm grip on glorious model o prior. Have not looked back, once you get there it's insanely comfortable and stupid responsive. Would highly recommend pairing with the 'zy's damage' mousepad for full effect.

It's different and I like it, maybe I'll buy one in the near future.

I've basically come to the same conclusion about mine. It's great when I whip it out for shooters, but definitely a 3/5 for daily driving. And unfortunately my fingers are longer so my pinky drags no matter what unless I twist it up like I have arthritis. But I guess this is similar to why I have a track car and the one I drive to work...

Finally, been waiting for this.

Tried it loved it. Impressive quality, I am getting one!

editing is on point

Very fair review 👏. I use the MZ1 and love it for gaming but can't use it for productivity. Great shape but the mouse wheel & led lighting leave a lot to be desired. On the plus side, in the words of a legend, when I hold this mouse it automatically points to someone's head!

mouse took a while for me to get used to coming from a cooler master mm710 and honestly really enjoyed it the touch points being solid where you touch the mouse was a really welcome edition. love the way it looks in white with my setup and I've had zero issues. I play mostly league and some fps games and it's been great for both and worked well with the fingertip grip style I already had.

I just got this mouse myself today and so far I like it! Definitely feel like it will take at least several days to get used to, but it's already working great for me. I've also modded it from the moment I got it, as the stock MZ1 is wayyy too heavy for it's small size, it feels way too dense. Can't really check the weight rn, but it should be around 50g now.

Would love to try this mouse tho. On the other hand, i love the static shots of the mouse in this video, damn that looks so good, gotta agree, you do know how to use a camera lol.

Thank you for adding the Canadian price too! Can't tell you how much I use USD to CAD

I was stoked to hear about this mouse when Zai announced it and I got it as a present for my birthday to replace my Model O-. I've always believed in Zai's reviews, regarding mice. When I got to game on it there's an unexplainable feeling when tracking, I main Apex Legends, and I've had really good games with it so far. My damage, kills and tracking has been a lot more consistent in Apex and Kovaaks. I'm not sure if the receded back has something to do with it but tracking has been a breeze. All in all, I'm really happy with this, so thanks a bunch Zai and Xtrfy! Poggers!

Got this mice day 1, and it really makes me want to play more and improve, instead of just being happy with what I got. The MZ1 becomes a platform for improvement of skills. And although yes, every mouse is that (ofc), this made it easier and more fun somehow

i'm sold. getting one right now!

"Purchased the Xtrfy MZ1 Zy's Rail and loved almost all of it Apart, from the Kailh GM 8.0 Switches. "As I ended up with pain in my left finger due to the force required to click. So hopefully, the next iteration will allow for changeable switches and adjustable actuation force. "This would be the perfect mouse for me as I prefer the lightest double-tap. "Especially when playing FPS games because it can become very fatiguing for my fingers. Other than that, I liked the mouse's overall design "as with the mesmerising RGB and solid sensor performance. I would also personally love to see an MMO mouse with the same features I mentioned integrated and Ultra lightweight with nine evenly spaced buttons on the side.

I've replaced all my Steelseries, Logitech, and Glorious mice with XTRFY mice and haven't looked back. Glorious was a step in the right direction(learning that we've been overpaying for mice for far too long) but I had an O and a D start to fall apart within the first year so I decided to look elsewhere. With XTRFY I paid a terrific price for stellar performance and they great feel. I don't have an MZ1 in my collection yet but maybe someday.

Not to sound like a cheapskate, but it's a tough sell for me at that price. The fact that it has any "quirks" at $80 would make me question why I'd choose it over some of the (extremely strong) competition at similar or vastly reduced prices.

bought an orochi to replace my 305 but i found i didnt like that shape. sold the orochi for a mz1 just to try the shape and i absolutely love it. aim feels super crispy too

Damn. Some nice features to that mouse for sure, shame I'll probably never get them in a mouse with my preferred grip/layout if they got a patent on stuff like "onboard drivers" somehow. (Symmetrical palm grip with buttons on both sides - basically the SteelSeries Sensei shape).

I was wondering for a review after some time of use

The creak on the right side can be fixed if you pull the shell apart and then squeeze the right side side while clicking it back together. I dont know how to feel, in some situations I feel I have more control with this mouse, unholy control with micro adjustments. But have kinda settled on the orochi v2 since I am more nimble with it.

I'm considering getting one

Can't help but seeing you have a decent HDR monitor standing in the background. Any chance to see HDR videos on the future?

awesome vid

Dunno how you’d solve this one, but the Orochi V2 weight you listed is with an AA battery - if one is comparing weight as a spec (for the consumer that wants light weight as a factor), I’d think it’s weight with the AAA would be better, no? That’s 65g, much closer to this Xtrfy than it appears in your graphic

Just ordered mine thanks to this review (spending responsible of course) Switching from FK2 and ducky feather, let’s see how it goes.

MZ1 definitely took a while for me to get used to. took me two weeks to get really dialed in. But once i got used to it, it is as precise as it can get. However, i do wish the scroll wheel was a bit lighter. i find it a bit difficult to double click (pinging in Apex) Overall, a great mouse!

Polling rate has a dramatic effect on older games. Lower polling rate increases my accuracy big time on quake and xonotic, but causes a less than higher rate of visual smoothness.

2:54 The mice on this shot is what you would actually see on IRL at a 24 inch 16:9 display. Now I know how this mouse would fit my hand

I've been using it for 2 months too, it's an endgame fps mice. I can land shots that I never had before. and I also ditched my steelseries aerox 3 wireless for this wired MZ1. the cable are not in the way, so I prefer MZ1 shape compared to wireless. shoutout to Zy Rocket Jump Ninja for designed this masterpiece

I liked my first XTRFY MZ1 so much I bought a second one for my secondary PC.

I just resold a FInalmouse Starlight 12 because I liked the Orochi V2 so much more. Zy also poopoo'd on the Orochi due to it's shape, which fit me great due to my wider hands, so I figure the MZ1 is not going to be up my alley.

White + wireless and I'll try it out!

Man i thought i was the only one who used all mice at 700 PDI instead of 800 :D thumbs up!

mz1 or mm720 for big hands Fingertip grip? Is the mz1 too small like the orochi was for me?

I've been using the Roccat Kone Pure Ultra, and now the Kone Pro, and love it. I tried the Razer Viper, but can't get used to the shape, and the side buttons are very annoying, extra so on the right side (I'm right handed), and I tried it for a couple of months, while going back to the Kone Pure Ultra, it felt like home again right away. I will get this one, cause I have to give it a try being Zy's design. Btw, have you tried the scroll wheel on the Roccat Kone Pure Ultra?

Please make a video on your setups

I got this mice and it helped me up my sniper game.

Waiting till it comes to amazon

i love this channel

I like 1k dpi and remappable thumb buttons, so no optional software is disappointing.

In description it says G305 is your second main after mm720, but in video you use Orochi V2? Or am i missing something?

I was considering buying this mouse but then I decided to get the Orochi V2 instead because I really wanted a wireless mouse

It instantly felt better for me, couldn't have found a mouse more made for me

When is the G Pro Superlight review coming?

its the new G303 we have all been waiting for

I wish more mice had a left and right click in the scroll wheel which was in the past a common capability

Would you recommend this for claw grip? Small hands

Felt great for a while on the first day, felt like I found a decent grip on it but it started making my hand tired. Did this go away? I have same size hands as yours

Just got this for Christmas. I love the comfort groves. I love the clicks and cable. However my pinky finger feels like it just lays on the side but offers me no control. I feel like I'm aiming with just my thumb and ring finger. I much rather prefer the m42 because it has a wider back and my pinky gets locked in for perfect control. The m42 has bad switches and a bad cable. I wish I can have a m42 with the comfort groves, mz1 cable and mz1 clicks. Also have the m42 with no holes on side would be great to

I'm looking for a replacement of my old MM520. The 720 doesnt looks like the perfect shape so I could give this (wireless version with lower hump) a try.

Mine started random clicking and switching my weapons after about a month, liked it and then I threw it against the wall.

best FPS mouse hands down! perfect shape

My cats have chewed through so many mouse wires I had to go wireless. Would definitely consider this one if it offers a wireless version.

Interestingly enough, I am about to go through 7 of Zy's reviews but wanted to watch a review on his own mouse to maybe get an idea of where he is coming from. Personally a bit dissatisfied with mouse reviews though since almost all are for gamers and very little is talked about for office use. Stopped playing games, but the average "office mouse" doesn't do it's job. Missing my MX518. Already tested 5 mice but not satisfied yet. Definitely preferring a wider mouse myself.

As someone with small hands and fingertip grip, I honestly feel like this mouse could be what I'm looking for. I use the viper mini rn, but the grooves are so far in the front, that when I play my fingers aren't in any groove, and can sorta move around annoyingly. I also can't move my hand forward even slightly, because I instantly feel the viper mini's hump in my palm. Don't think it's worth trying out though. Honestly just hope we get these smaller mice wireless eventually as recently I've been annoyed with them.

hm did not get the repacement set included. i just find out watching this :) Ty for the vid. i love the fast click rate on xtrfy mz1 now u can get it wireless also. I also have many other mice`s one of them is the new Razor viper v2 , each model differ from mice to mice on the click and other youtubers also show that the shape is not the same on all v2 units, just a bad QOS build from china to FAST , and my V2 :i cant tap my shoot fast enogh in some games and the shape its a bit off for me. However the sensor and the glide is awsome and its works fine in games like Quake, awsome (it`s not the same press functions in this two games) just to add, this is the first optical buttons, its not mechanical like mz1. something to think of, now in Valorant the Razor V2 its a BIG NO GO for me, i cant use many guns or Gardian rifle, cuz v2 will mess me up keep my constisten rythm of burst sries unstable and so on, the same for every time i shot its random and this is nothing i have ever encounter before with a mice, also sometimes it feels like theV2 buttons dont jump up -back fast enogh this is random and , but often. and maybe the problem part of the all.

I think if you fingertip grip, it is very much an endgame worth mouse for you. I claw grip and it’s a bit uncomfortable, I’ll be sticking with my Ultralight 2.

Hello, would like to ask what game is this at 8:50? The balloon/ball shooting game. Thanks!

I got the mouse about a month ago and used it for a day or two and couldn’t get comfy, just pulled it back out and going to give it some more time to get used to and see if it can become my main. My grip is just like Zy’s but my hands are on the smaller side.

A lot more peripherals should be driverless like this. Hate when u gotta download a million different junk programs especially when you mix and match brands.

is there is a size comparison with G Pro wireless vs this mouse

Could we get a steelseries prime (wireless) review?

What is the name of the shooting game he was playing in the beginnning?

what is the aim trainer seen at 8:50?

What was the map he played in the aim trainer, and was it Kovaak 2.0?

0:54 Where can I get that mousepad??

holding onto fancy LED lights is the adult equivalent of getting your parents keys.

thiss mouse is small but doesnt feel that small in the hands its weird. i love it

Wish your sponsor, Corsair, would actually ship their products. Been waiting for Virtuoso XT since it launched several months ago, for them to ship product to their Canadian retailers, but no products have been shipped to Canada, even though the US retailers received stock. Arrrrgh.

polling rate cycle is not useless, older games can have a lot of problems on 1000hz with stability and lags

What’s the mouse at 7:31 ?

got one on day 1 but im unsure if its the one! i might try g pro superlight.

Does anyone had experience with the xtrfy m1?I struggle to find reviews and it's on sale now in my country...

srsly i love this mouse shape, iam a hugh fan of Zy and his mouse reviews ... but within 3 months i have to buy 2 of the XTRFY mices because of cable break ... today i have the second cable break of this mice. Switch on my old Glorious Odin O back ... actually I don't want that but what should I do?

After watching the csgo gameplay I could tell the footage didn’t speak for itself lol (no offense). I’m already completely in love with my Xtrfy M4, so I’ll just wait and see if many pro players adopt this mouse.

this mouse physically looks like something straight out of the flea market with it's shitty looking half transparent dark plastic, holes that look random cause of the ergo-focused placement, and the horrendous looking RGB LEDs. but under your fantastic lighting/recording style/studio, it somehow looks bearable.

I think Zy addressed the scroll wheel, stating that its like that since its not used in gaming, to my knowledge literally every single fps i have played the scroll wheel is used to switch weapons

is this good for meduim size hands using a hybrid claw grip/wrist aim?

I've wanted this for awhile but I just don't think it's meant for me personally. I've always enjoyed the G502, I absolutely love the 10 programmable buttons (many being a override). I'm a firm believer in the macro keys, 2 just wouldn't cut it for me in most games. I've gotten to the point where it's muscle memory for me, without the at least 3 I would need to stop and search my keyboard which I've just not done in 8 years. I have a lot of respect for the man, love his videos, he's always the first person I go to but the lack of macro buttons is the biggest deal killer for me even 1 more would have been great but ideally 5 in total would have been perfect for basically everything I play (would have accepted macros as scroll wheel tilts as well). 3 macro keys though would have been enough for me to justify the purchase, but still wished for more, I could have/would have made it work. I'm not saying i refuse to buy because not a third, I just can't compromise that much when ideally I would love 3 more. It's the main reason why I've kept to the G502, nothing really fills it's spot for me, and I have looked just 2 macro keys seems to be the standard, standard doesn't fit everyone's use case thought, and regardless of what game I'm playing I have 0 problems filling/using at least 3 of the G502's macro keys. I believe the mouse is good, I respect the man, I would at least like to try it, but I don't believe in returning non faulty items, I just feel pretty confident it wouldn't work for me, and I would go back to my G502 like I have since in built my first PC, that mouse spoiled me.

Minecraft pvpers when they hear it had adjustable denounce time: I'll take your entire stock

how does this compare to hyper x haste

I LOVE MINE

I have one and i love it but after a couple of weeks mine started to disconnect frequently, i tried returning it to my retailer but they said the mouse was fine and there was nothing wrong with it. Is there a solution to this?

YES YOU PUT A TIMER FOR SOUND TESTING SEGMENTS!!! BEEN COMMENTING THIS ANYWHERE I SEE SOUND TESTS!! HELPS ME NOT BLOW OUT MY EARS TRYING TO HEAR THE ITEMS OF TOPIC

Ngl I'd rather use a shape I'm comfortable with than something that "on paper" "should" be "better" for competitive gaming. I tried a few "competitively shaped" ambi mice, but never played as well as I do with my Pwnage UC clone now. Still wanna try this mouse out to see if it's actually viable, but I'm poor.

yeah the middel button is very sticky at the bottom

just bought one, I am getting wireless version.

does it come in black

It has some of the ideas from a G303 imho

this mouse doesn't just have a shape that looks cool, it has a shape that is naturally comfortable to any user whose hand isn't too small neither too big. I always hated the mice with a lot of height and bad curves bcz they felt very uncomfy.

Got one and first apex match with it I pulled my first 4.5k damage game...

I think the shape of almost any mouse is just about getting used to it. When I changed my mouse shape I always had the feeling that my old mouse had better shape. But now I realize you just have to give it time. For me at least 2 weeks of getting used to the new shape. Then suddenly you try your old mouse again a this time this one will feel awkward again.

A fairly smaller mouse with deep grooves for a better grip.
