The Endgame Gear OP1 8K is here to take the top spot in the brand’s lineup of high-octane gaming mice. At first glance, this is a wired sibling of pretty much every other Endgame Gear rodent, but looking a little closer it’s obvious that there’s something else going on here. This is an extremely lightweight FPS-first pointer with a slick set of switches under the hood, impressively accurate sensor, and a comfortable, compact form factor. It’s a wired model, yes, but it’s the best corded gaming mouse I’ve tested yet - and it more than gets away with its tail.
The world of the best gaming mouse models has evolved in the last few years, but the move to wireless hyper-polling has been a pricey one. With 8K Hz models like this on the shelves, it’s getting difficult to justify the extra expenditure on those 2.4GHz receivers. I spent three weeks testing the Endgame Gear OP1 8K, and it might have brought be back to the wired world.
