The XM1 is an amazing mouse, I've owned the V2 (The one with the black Endgame gear logo in the photo I posted) for a little over 6 months and it's still going strong. When Endgame decided to release a revision in the XM1r, I had to pick it up (An excuse for me to own a second XM1). All of the changes listed in the product description all add up to make for the pinnacle of the XM1 as a wired mouse experience. I think switching to the more energy efficient 3370 sensor is an indication that Endgame have plans for a wireless model on the horizon which is exciting. Thank you based German engineering.The XM1r compared to the V2 just feels more refined overall. The clicks are cleaner and moving away from Omrons switches to Kailh 8.0s should mean that the double-click issue should be much less of a problem. The side buttons feel tighter with less post-travel than before, adding to a more tactile feel. And the scroll wheel has a bit more resistance to it out of the box, and just feels sturdier (Which can be a good or bad thing depending on the person, I personally like it). The scroll wheel button itself feels about the same which is fine, I only use it for pinging in games so it's not an issue. The stock feet glide really well too with a little break-in time (Plus you get a second pair of feet). The things I loved about the XM1 originally stayed the same thankfully. That includes the incredible grippy coating, the shape, the 70g weight, and finally the low-profile aesthetic.It's really nice that Endgame kept the MSRP of the mouse the same at $59.99 USD before taxes, which is a really good deal for such a well constructed mouse. If you can pick up a V2 somewhere at a discount go for it since it's still really good (I'm assuming retailers are now trying to get rid of their V2 inventory), but the XM1r with all the upgrades is worth it. I'm glad I have two of these should something happen to one of them, since it's been my favorite gaming mouse experience so far. Looking forward to a wireless model (Hopefully with USB-C).Things to keep in mind: As of the time I've posted this review there is no configuration software available yet, so you're stuck with the default DPI settings of 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 respectively for now (Changing it via the button underneath the Mouse). And also the supply isn't the best, this mouse is typically hard to find in stock so I'd check here and elsewhere periodically if you're trying to get a hold of one of these. However it's understandable when you think about it since Endgame gear is a relatively small peripheral company compared to Logitech or Razer.
