Why I Switched From the Fenrir Pro to the Beast X Mini (Fingertip User Review)
I want to talk about every aspect of both mice and why I ended up preferring an older, heavier mouse over what I thought would be the ultimate lightweight fingertip experience with the Fenrir Pro. This is just my opinion of course — I’m sure there are people who absolutely love the Fenrir Pro and consider it their endgame.
Shape:
Playing with the Fenrir Pro honestly feels like moving a box around. It doesn’t even feel like a mouse, just a box with sensors. Since it lacks the curves that 99% of mice have, the experience feels awkward. Sure, after a few hours you get somewhat used to it, but that doesn’t suddenly make the shape good.
The Beast X Mini on the other hand feels perfect to me. It’s basically a downsized version of a normal mouse, so I really have no complaints about the shape at all.
Clicks:
The Fenrir Pro clicks are medium-heavy, and they become really heavy if you place your fingers more toward the back of the mouse instead of the front. I genuinely don’t understand why a company like G-Wolves, whose main focus is fingertip mice, would put heavy clicks on a 19g mouse. Feels completely backwards.
The Beast X Mini once again nails it. The clicks are super light and feel good even if you grip further back.
Weight:
Moving the Fenrir Pro around actually feels amazing at first. The issue starts once you’re in-game and constantly clicking. Combining a 19g mouse with medium-heavy clicks just doesn’t make sense to me. A mouse that light is supposed to let you play with almost zero tension in your fingers, but the heavier clicks force you to grip harder and create more tension anyway.
That’s the part I really don’t understand. G-Wolves has released so many fingertip mice at this point that this feels like something that should’ve been obvious.
Looks / Aesthetics:
I don’t care much about aesthetics, but honestly the Fenrir Pro looks like a DIY 3D-printed mouse the build quality and resistance is excellent tho.
At the end of the day this is all personal experience. Everyone has different hands, preferences, and grip styles, so what feels terrible to me could easily be someone else’s perfect mouse.
