My Experience with the Endgame gear XM2w 4K V2
Purchased this mouse in October of 2025 after owning a couple different variants of this mouse and loving the shape before this i had the XM2we, everything about this mouse is incredible besides one MASSIVE issue that i have time and time again THE SCROLL WHEEL
When the mouse was announced the first and only thing i was most excited about was the Dustproof Encoder, being the shape i like most and there not being any clones whatsoever minus maybe a Lamzu i spent the 130$ and purchased it. at first like most mice i had no issues at all by December of that same year my scroll wheel was already jumping and being jittery when scrolling. No matter what i did i couldn't find a fix for it.
Unfortunately i cannot recommend buying another one of these especially at the premium price. i wish i could say otherwise, i don't have any soldering experience to replace the encoder so I'm going to be shipping my mouse across the country to a family member that can hopefully replace the encoder but the fact i have to do that so i don't have a 130$ mouse sitting on a shelf rotting away is a little crazy to me we shouldn't have to scrap our tech so soon IMO
if anyone else has had a similar recent issue with the new encoders please let me know
