EVGA X12 Gaming Mouse, 8k, Wired, Black, Customizable, Dual Sensor, 16,000 DPI, 5 Profiles, 8 Buttons, Ambidextrous Light Weight, RGB, 905-W1-12BK-KR

Over the last few years, I've used many mice, ranging from cheap but solid stuff like Redragon's lineup to Corsair's mid-range, to SteelSeries' signature Rival 710. All have been usable, but to differing degrees of my personal preference and comfort. No mouse I've touched has fit my hand like this one. I really wanted more than just 2 side buttons and this obviously delivers there as well, being an ambidextrous mouse. I typically like heavier mice (such as the Rival 710), but this one isn't too light for my comfort despite not being a heavy mouse by any means. It's light, but big enough that the light weight doesn't make the maneuverability feel shaky for my taste. This is also the first mouse I've used that supports 8KHz polling (although I probably won't be using anything over 1k), and though I can't comment on how practically useful it is, having the feature without a premium is, of course, a massive win. This mouse doesn't sacrifice anything. It has all the utility you could want (unless you're someone who uses your mouse for all your macros in an MMORPG, I suppose). It also features very solid and configurable RGB lighting in 3 different places across the mouse. It has a dual sensor setup, and this is where the mouse I paid $15 for completely eradicates the $100 Rival 710. This mouse feels 100x more accurate between lifting movements. I don't have to lift very often, but a quick test between the 2 mice will easily favor this one, as the Rival 710 often continues tracking while the mouse is lifted a decent bit, which is a disgusting feeling in my opinion. Overall, this mouse has everything I was looking for in a mouse, a little more, and ultimately fits my tastes better than any other I've used. The Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless (while having admittedly amazing wireless capability) is simply too small for my hand and grip preference, and is also too light for my taste. It would be a solid general pick though, granted the $20 wired variant feels better for what you get price-wise. The Rival 710 has a ton of "premium" features that honestly end up being a waste of time and money (like the OLED screen. There's a ton you can do with it but I never found myself actually caring to look at it and I quickly disabled the Discord integration as I'd rather see my custom GIF anyways). The third side button is a handy plus but definitely does not constitute the price. I also personally think that SteelSeries' GG software & SteelSeries Engine are clunky, ugly (when going between the GG software and the Engine, which feels like a separate program forced inside a new one), and obnoxious. I know iCUE is a heavy beast but honestly it does a way better job of focusing on what it's meant for. SteelSeries insists on trying to fit 5 completely different functionalities into a single piece of software. Why do I need my config software for my KB & mouse recording my gameplay when it just ends up being inferior to most other methods anyways? Finally, the vibration is the coolest feature in concept, except that only games that support SteelSeries' API support it (an underwhelming and mixed bag of games overall). It could've been a killer feature if there was some way to have the mouse receive xinput vibration... Slamming other mice aside (I know I didn't mention Redragon and that's because there isn't much to say; if you want a reliable mouse with most of what you need for an insanely cheap price, they're a good buy), this mouse is my personal favorite and for $15 there is nothing that will compare in any sense. The weight and the texture feel a bit cheap, but from a functional standpoint, I would've absolutely paid the original listing price for this mouse.

Great value for money, bought it because of the price and got a bargain - very comfy

Good mouse for the price. My only complaints are that the scroll wheel has recently started having hiccups where it will briefly scroll in the opposite direction from where I am scrolling. Also, the EVGA software needs to be use to reset the mouse whenever you restart your computer, because the config doesn't save on the mouse between restarting the computer.

There is no lag with this mouse it has several reactivity settings you can use from dead slow to not being able to see when you turn a character lol, the RGB is calming and pretty, the buttons still work perfectly even though I bought this several years ago and I game constantly with it, shooters and survival games mostly, so it's survived some trauma clicking haha, good for gaming purposes. I have small hands so I probably am not the best judge of this but the mouse fits pretty nicely in my hand and it's not uncomfortable to use for long periods of time.

I’ve been using this mouse for about a month. In the last year I bought a went from a hyperx pulse fire raid, to a razer basilisk v2, to a Logitech g303 shroud. I also briefly tried the razer viper mini and the steelseries rival 5. I really liked the feel and weight of the g303, but the pinky side seems to be angled slightly too aggressively, causing me to get underneath the mouse a bit too much, sometimes accidentally lifting the mouse when in a heated gunfight. I mostly got the x12 because I wanted to try an 8000hz polling mouse (the viper mini had an unusable LOD in my opinion), but also thought the mouse looked like a good compromise on the side angles and is similar weight to g303. I want to be able to get my fingers underneath the mouse sides a bit, but not so much so that I end up holding it in my hand more than pressing into mat. It is exactly what I was hoping for in this regard. The only thing that I’m unsure of, is the finger rest in the pinky side. The way it is positioned, I end up grabbing the very front edge of it with my pinky. In a way I think it helps my grip feel more locked in, but it does feel a bit awkward at first. One thing I absolutely love about this mouse is the convex and higher primary (left right click) button height. I use a fingertip grip find that the higher angle suits the natural arc of my fingertips better than lower concave primary buttons, allowing me more comfortably grip and click those buttons while manipulating the mouse. The buttons have a great solid click weight, and don’t feel so light that I’m going to accidentally press them just by resting my fingers on them. While it did not affect performance, I thought the body felt a tad slick with dry fingers, so I added some lizard skins to the sides to feel more locked in. As far as the performance of the sensor, I notice no difference in the quality of the tracking compared to any of the mice I used for extended periods of time. I primarily play apex and used 8000hz but seemed to occasionally have some kind of freezing stuttering issue so I reduced to 4000hz and haven’t had an issue. Eventually games should supposedly have better optimization for higher polling rates. My pc is all newest architectures for components, so don’t think the stuttering would be hardware related on my end. I would most likely not have tried this mouse if it was not 30 dollars, but I’m glad that I did.

I've owned this mouse for nearly 3 years as of this review. I purchased it around the time I heard the unfortunate news that EVGA would no longer be building GPUs. As with any item I've ever purchased from EVGA, this mouse has been rock solid. It was plug and play the moment I got it, and has worked buttery smooth ever since. It has a great feel in the hand and I don't notice any fatigue even after hours of use. The use I've gotten out of this mouse has definitely been a great return on investment. You cannot go wrong with this mouse.

Purchased for my work from home pc to replace a trusty CoolerMaster MM830 that’s starting to get a little janky due to such constant use. I need the additional buttons with very specific macros programmed for work. Since the pc is work issued, I can’t download the software directly. So I download on my personal pc to program the macros- which is what I did with the previous mouse. The issue is that the button assignments don’t save to the mouse. So when disconnected or even when the pc is restarted, all settings are erased and set to default- this just is not an option for me. After some googling, appears to be a common issue with no resolution found. Quality is overall- low. I strongly dislike lightweight mice. They feel cheap and flimsy. The buttons on the right (for right handed use) are incredibly uncomfortable to use. I don’t think they were intended to be used- just an ambidextrous option. I so like the led lighting, it’s subtle and minimal, not all gaudy like others on the market. For $10 it’s fine if you need a basic mouse with no reprogramming. Ultimately, I returned and will be looking at other options.

Like a lot of people here us Leftys have a constant struggle to find a good gaming mouse. The X12 definitely hits the mark. It's light, precise and seems to be very robust. I like corded peripherals, it's one less thing to go wrong at exactly the right time. The EVGA software is a bit clunky but it works well enough, especially when paired with the EVGA Z15 mechanical keyboard. One piece of software controls both devices. I wish that it was a bit more premium but the really pretty stuff is asymmetrical so it looks cool and EVGA is not about to make a lefty version of their top of the line mouse. Still this mouse does everything I need and it's in use all day every day. My only gripe is the trick EVGA missed. I program both my keyboard and my mouse for whatever games I'm playing, so why are the profiles not linked. If I switch to profile 3 on my Z15 keyboard (Witcher 3) it would be cool if the mouse automatically switched to it's profile 3. BTW the Z15 is a massively underrated keyboard. Brown switches on the main deck and high-speed greys on the numpad area.
