Introduction

Endgame Gear Logo


Endgame Gear is a peripherals company based in Germany. Essentially, the ambidextrous XM2 8K is an OP1 8K with a different shell. Much like the latter, the XM2 8K comes equipped with PixArt's PAW3395 sensor capable of 26,000 CPI, and is capable of 8000 Hz polling. The main buttons are outfitted with Kailh GX switches, which, unlike most other mechanical switches, have a top and bottom contact (SPDT, single-pole and double-throw). When actuating the switch, the click therefore can already be registered when the top contact has been disengaged, instead of having to wait until the bottom contact is closed, reducing physical latency in the process. In addition, the GX switch can also be employed as a way of providing additional hardware debouncing, preventing unintended double-clicking. Weighing 51 g, the XM2 8K does without holes or an open-bottom design. The feet are made of pure PTFE, and the cable is the particularly flexible "Flex Cord 5.0." Configuration is possible within lightweight software that doesn't require installation. The XM2 8K is available in either black, white, Dark Frost, or White Frost.
