Shape and Dimensions

Shape



The shape of the OP1we goes far beyond being a merely sized-down XM2we. The OP1we is smaller of course, though only marginally shorter and, most significantly, much narrower. Whereas on the XM2we, the wide rear integrated organically into the curved-in sides to create a Sensei-like curvature, neither the rear flares out or the sides curve in as much on the OP1we, resulting in a more neutral silhouette. Since the front doesn't flare out much, either, the width is near-constant across the length. The only key design element clearly identifiable from the XM2we is the hump curvature, as the apex of the hump is situated towards the rear, and gradually slopes down to the low-sitting front. Another novelty over the XM2we are the main buttons now being framed by ledges, similarly to the Logitech G Pro X Superlight or Pulsar X2, though comfort grooves continue to be absent almost entirely as to not restrict finger placement. In fact, the closest comparison in terms of overall shape indeed is the Pulsar X2, which is wider, however.


As for grip styles, I'd say the OP1we is mostly suited for claw grip. It is a medium to small sized mouse with a moderately pronounced hump, which should make it suitable for most hand sizes. For reference, my hands are 19 cm long and 10 cm wide, and I found the OP1we very comfortable in claw grip.



Dimensions

This table includes the dimensions of the Endgame Gear OP1we and several other ambidextrous mice. "Front height" denotes the distance between the base and main buttons. Measurements with two decimals have been taken with a caliper, while those with one decimal have been taken with a ruler. For a full list of all measurements taken, please refer to this sheet compiled by an esteemed community member.
