THIS MOUSE MAKES NO SENSE | Finalmouse Ultralight X Review

TL;DW - This mouse in the current market makes no sense, neither objectively nor financially. The ULX was supposed to be 29 g full sized mouse as stated by Finalmouse on Twitter, but ended up being around 38 g. In my personal opinion and going of my knowdledge in terms of mouse design and materials, I assume that Finalmouse was going to design this mouse from the ground up with the use of this new carbon composite, but ended up throwing that design out the windows because it's just that much easier and faster to re-use the old .STL files. I truly appreciate them for trying a new composite, but man is it ever sad seeing its potential being completely disregarded by using a design that was intended for plastic in 2018. Tons of other issues to write, but least the software solution is goated.
TL;DR - Cool idea, poor execution, not worth it, tons of better alternatives.

Please watch some reviews on the new WLMOUSE Beast X Mini before buying it - not only is it noticeably more narrow than even a Finalmouse small, but also is there a lot of drama currently surrounding them. Quality so far also seems to have degraded on this new version so far. Corrections: - stock unit is up to 2 g less than what was weighed and displayed on my scale, depending on the skates that are installed - the scroll wheel isn't metal, but polycarbonate - although not specified by Finalmouse, their initial 29 g announcement was intended for the small model
This Video puts together everything about the ULX very well. Great job with this
Is the the KB65HE hiding there? What is your opinion of it, compared to other HE boards? Itching to pull the trigger on one
I am trying to sell mine. I hate it. the shape is awful for me. Feels cheap as balls. scroll wheel is horrible, so slippery.

I think 50-60 grams is the perfect weight for a mouse
I don't blame you for being harsh on it, I would also be harsh on a $200+ mouse especially when there are comparable options for LESS than $100
I bought the beast x mini a few days ago cannot wait for it to come.
How does the Geckos Grip Tape compare to pulsar supergrips?
Fantastic video! Went through so many options for people.
Having bought 2 ULX (still awaiting my cheetah) and loving the Lion I have received, this video still makes a lot of sense and is a tough pill to swallow but I can't lie I do love my ULX. It's just lovely. But this vid does have me itching to try the HTX and particularly the WLBeast mini with the cool colour range they have.
Does your Side Buttons wobble a bit? I got Batch 1 ULX Lion and my side buttons wobble although not by much, front side button wobbles more while back side button is kinda firm.
what other skates would you recommend for me to get for my ulx, i use a infinitymice control v2
10:26 Aren’t there ridges for the 4 corner skates, making the surface not completely flat? How did you use Pulsar skates without bumps?
my ulx is great if you ignore the click wobble, coating, battery adhesive being exposed, and shell not being seated properly (early batch 1) :D
Habe mir gerade die HTS+ 4K bestellt, heißt das ich sollte sie lieber zurückschicken und warten bis auch von der eine neuere und bessere Version kommt ? Und ist das oben links im Video deine Phylina S450 ?

Even if this was the only option, there are 3 things I find unacceptable for the price: -The sticky surface on the bottom, yours started to pick up dirt and grime, I saw way worse in other reviews. -Not color matching the internals. I like to see inside my tech, but if the focus is to make the mouse basically seethorugh with a custom design on the outside, make the inside match. Especially that white wire is disgusting. -Not having a proper DPI slider in the SW. The web based GUI is great, but why can I only choose from 5 preset values (unless those can be customized). I prefer my mice around 4200-4500 dpi, that alone would be a dealbreaker. And it's not an issue with a mouse at 10th of the price.

@@arc4863 Why should I stick to standard dpis? They are great for testing and comparing mice, ans if the pros like them, so be it. For me something like 1600 and smaller is way too slow for work, general use or even gaming. 3200 is better but still slow with mouse acceleration turned off. I have a high res ultrawide, oftentimes paired with a high res laptop, in work, I use high res monitors. Dragging the mouse through that with low dpi would need an unreasonable desk area. And for a top end mouse I expect to tailor it to my needs. Just like using grip tape (though I don't like that) or soldiering in different switches for a different feel. It's like you'd say I should use standard browns or reds in my keyboard with a qwerty layout because that's what everyone uses. A mouse is just like any tools on your desk and you should use the best tools suited for you.

Agreed. Shouldn't have to bandaid a problem when Finalmouse could fix the coating and other small complaints like false weight advertisement. I'd be harsh on a 200 dollar mouse too.

I mean, the price of mice is crazy and I'm not a huge fan of the ultra and super light weights. I prefer good size and shape for my hand. As long as the mouse is under 90 grams, then the shape is what's most important. I have a deathadder v3 pro and it's a perfect fit for my hand which is why I won't buy another mouse. Also, do not feel bad for hating really hard on a product that does not live up to it's price

If only you could have released this before I bought one in August... That's on me for biting the hook on the hype train around it. That said I agree with every point you made, this thing is just not worth the price at all. Also, my left click is almost completely dull and mushy from just around 40 hours of gameplay on it.

Ahhh ok so this is just a hate video was hoping for a actual review of specs and others unfortunate no need to share this much hate
Troll much?? If the shape is so bad and you're a 'hater' then considering the ULX is exactly the same as the Starlight-12 the comment is either trolling or doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. All those talking points are literally parroting what some other mediocre at best reviewers had to say about this Finalmouse. The new releases are fine and don't suffer from the first run issues that not only the ULX suffered but so did all their first edition mice. Nothing new there. Other than collectors the first runs make no sense to purchase ever. Same thing with all those mice that you're displaying on your mouse pad. The Beast X .. same exact thing, their first run is littered with tons of issues. Personally, my mouse choice is a heavily modded GPX Superlight, so far I have three copies.

BTW .. when I mentioned parroting other reviewers, because the other reviewers were fools and didn't have enough common sense to notice the differences between the small, medium and large sizes and their respective weights.
