I've built about 15 computers, I have probably 10tB of games installed and from the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep, I'm at a computer desk. I've used every cheap mouse on the market, and my main mouse for awhile was a steelseries rival 600. I used to have this really weird play style when I gamed where I would go half mouse, half controller, which is fine for games like Overwatch where I don't need too many buttons, but this wouldn't work well with my setup on other games that needed more buttons, but the skills of my left hand on a controller far surpassed the skills they had on a keyboard, and I was too stubborn to practice.That meant I needed a mouse with more buttons, so I ended up getting a Razer Naga Trinity, because there were at least 2 different types of sides that I could change up. I found that I didn't like the 12 buttons on the side, I couldn't help but fat finger some of them, so I ended up using the side that had 6 buttons on it and my grip formed to that handle (which was fat and heavy). I used that mouse to the end of it's life (only 10 months, Razer has failed to impress me, the left click only worked half of the time by the end) which left me looking for another mouse to be my new main.I found the X15 and thought the same thing that you probably thought, "EVGA makes mice?" so I decided to give it a chance, especially since it was 50% off as well. Now, the software to setup might scare a few people at the start, but once you get whatever you want mapped out, set your perfect DPI (I only need 3, but it's memory stores way more than that), you're golden. Honestly the only times I've opened the EVGA app since I bought the mouse has been to mess with the RGB.First thing I'll admit was the grip seemed to seriously lack, and I was almost ready to ship it right back and try something new. Yet in the first 10 minutes I found that when you first use the mouse, if your hand is completely clean and dry, the mouse will slip right out of your hand. But let's be real, this mouse isn't meant for clean freaks, it's meant for the Mountain Dew chuggin' cheetoh destroyin summbisch that's readying this review. This mouse thrives with a dirty hand. No lie, with just a bit of skin oil you'll have a pretty solid grip (had it for 6 months now, and I completely forgot about the first time I held it until I was writing this.)The clicking is smooth, the left to me at first had an audible springy sound...hard to describe, no one else could hear what I was talking about because it was that subtle, but over time after it was broken in it has resolved itself (and I mean like...headphones work too). Changing grip might have been the hardest thing having come from a much wider mouse, but this one isn't as heavy as the naga trinity. At first I didn't know what to do with my pinky, but over time I stopped relying on the pinky and my hand broke it's old muscle memory and adapted to the shape of the new mouse.I will admit I have completely upgraded my left hand as well, as it turns out the only thing that made me better was the analog stick, so now when I game I have an Azeron in one hand, and the x15 in the other. Now, I have too MANY buttons, but all of the complaints I've had with the other mice in my life, has been completely solved. I even macro'd a few of the buttons I don't use elsewhere to make editing on Adobe Premiere a little easier. I would recommend this mouse. Even if it never is on sale again, I would easily buy another one.

Year 4 Update 3:The quickest way I've found to eliminate static is touching any grounded unpainted exposed metal on an electronic device like the back of a plugged in PC for half a minute or so to drain the static from your body, and it solves the disconnection problem for a while at least. Not using a mousepad can also reduce static.If that's not enough, you can disassemble the mouse then ground yourself and touch all the components inside to drain the static from the mouse.The real kicker is, this was a problem with computer accessories that had mostly been solved by the late 90s, but eVGA engineers are still making the mistake a quarter century later! It really is still my favorite mouse in every way, except for this glaring design flaw.Year 4 Update 2:I'm 100% certain now the problem is a component inside the mouse that's improperly grounded and building up a static charge that disrupts the internal components, causing constant disconnects. If you're having problems with the mouse, try using the mouse without your mousepad. In winter with the heat on it can get very dry indoors leading to more static buildup.Year 4 Update 1:After a while the previous fix also stopped working. I took the mouse apart and inspected everything and it looked fine so I put it back together and surprisingly it worked fine again. I've come to the conclusion some part in the mouse is building up a charge and simply touching the components dissipates it. I've done this 2 times now and each time it "fixes" the issue for several months. Whatever the case, it's not a software problem, it's a physical defect somewhere in the mouse causing a static charge buildup. Grounding the components solves it, at least temporarily. No idea how to permanently fix this.Year 3 Update 2:I've managed to repair the random disconnecting problems on my X15.A forum post on eVGA's community forums suggested that the problem may be the 3 tiny wires connecting the scroll wheel sensor to the mouse's main board. It looked fine to me and wasn't loose, but I went ahead and reflowed it anyway and my disconnection issues disappeared. It's been going for a week now without issue.Unfortunately that same poster also mentioned the disconnection problem came back after a few months with leads me to believe it's poor quality solder along with the fact that this part is vibrated constantly from daily use of the scroll wheel. It's working fine for now, but the next time it starts acting up I'll probably try and replace it with some good quality solder to make the fix permanent.Year 3 Update 1:On 3rd mouse now (2nd replacement), it's developing disconnection problems now too.People on EVGA forums said it may be the solder points near the mouse wheel that can break with use which can cause disconnects, but after opening mine I didn't notice anything wrong in that area. At a loss what to do besides yet another round of RMAs.eVGA has ended production of the mouse and stopped resupplying Amazon and other retailers. They've completely given up on fixing this mouse.Next mouse I'm not sure where to go. EVGA is too unreliable, and Logitech hardware is ancient and outdated, requiring a software crutch that needs to run all the time. I may end up giving RedDragon or Corsair a try next time.Year 2 Update:My overall opinion on the mouse remains unchanged, it's still my favorite mouse, but I did run into some issues. After a year of use my unit would sometimes disconnect by itself and reconnect. It would also interfere with other USB devices connected to my PC, resulting in me misdiagnosing the problem and having to upgrade my entire PC, while still having the same problem until I finally realized it was the mouse. People on EVGA forums have been having issues with these disconnects for a long time, firmware and software updates fixed it for some, but not for others. Seems the only surefire way to fix it is RMA. Everything's been fine since.Year 1 Review:I saw the X15 on sale for 50% off and took a gamble, having just returned a G600 a month ago.I unboxed it, installed the software, configured my layout, and hit apply.Then I swapped it over to my other computer and was pleasantly greeted with all my mappings still intact.Apparently there's no software mode or onboard mode for EVGA mice. All settings are always stored onboard as soon as you hit apply. Simple and easy to use software with a full feature set. My new favorite mouse.There's also a tiny switch under the X15 that disables the ring finger button. The button acts like a Shift key for the mouse, in that when you hold it down, you can have a 2nd set of mappings on all the buttons. This key can be remapped or disabled in software on both mice, but the switch on the X15 actually physically prevents the button from clicking, so you don't get the wrong sensation of having clicked something if you accidentally grip your mouse too tightly. Very nice touch.The X15 is a tiny bit bigger than the G600 so it may be slightly cumbersome for those with smaller hands.The X15 also has a braided cable, whereas the G600 has just a plain plastic cord.This is no longer on sale and has gone back up to regular price, but if I had the choice I'd still get it since it actually works.Background on the G600:I bought a Logitech G600 years ago, and the software was absolutely atrocious. It was so limited that it lacked even basic multimedia function mapping like volume up/down and couldn't store settings properly in the onboard memory. I wasn't 100% sure it was a software issue since I had purchased a refurbished model, and convinced myself maybe the onboard memory on my G600 was just defective.Fast forward to this year (2021), I gave Logitech another chance since it's been 10 years since its original release. SURELY they must've fixed the hardware and software by now. NOPE.When the G600 first launched in 2012 it had only basic keyboard key mappings for its buttons.Logitech updated LogitechGamingSoftware to Logitech G Hub with multimedia and macro functions, but only in software that has to be running for it to work.The hardware is still the same from 2012, meaning the G600 still cannot store multimedia keys or macros on the onboard flash memory.If you ever have to reinstall your PC, kiss your settings goodbye because that's all in software, not in the onboard storage. If you want to use the G600 on another computer, kiss those settings goodbye, you'll have to redo almost all of them.I can't believe Logitech can't fix this crap after almost 15 YEARS since launch (as of 2025). Insanity.
