FANTECH ARIA XD7 Wireless Gaming Mouse Pixart 3395 Gaming Sensor 26000 DPI, HUANO Switches, Super Lightweight 59 Grams and Ambidextrous Egg Shape, 3 Mode Connectivity, Black

*Reference images for size comparisons* After hours and hours of research, videos, and reviews on gaming mice I settled on this Aria XD7 by Fantech. I enjoy using this mouse for my hybrid fingertip & relaxed claw grip style. You can palm grip this mouse pretty well if you have smaller hands. A straight fingertip style is good but its best suited for a claw grip style. Most importantly this mouse fits great for my lower end medium male hands. I do not have those quarterback or basketball star hands; my life is over :( I have been using this mouse wirelessly for a month straight, just about every day for 3+ hours. Overall, the battery life is very good. I charge a little over once a week, 7-9 days. The switches are great, very responsive, and great for my slow set for double clicking for guaranteed double clicks. The mouse wheel feels just right. It's not smooth rolling and gives you solid control. The polling rate is at 1000hz, it has a very good sensor; a pixart 3395 if memory serves me right. The software is good. It is exactly what I would expect for a performance gaming mouse. I do enjoy the customization with the DPI settings. I am a fan of the simplistic RGB lighting too. I am also a fan of the fact that the RGB can be customized beyond just a few colors, you can set pulsating or breathing responses at any duration you may choose. You can even set macro key sets with this software, not really important for me, but I am sure someone out there will appreciate the detail to give a user more options in the competitive atmosphere. I have had zero connectivity issues wirelessly. Thee has been no drop connections, not one. The Bluetooth tech is not there IMO. It lags and takes time connect. Setting up the Bluetooth was easy to do but it took more time than I would have expected it would take. The only issue outside of poor Bluetooth Tech (not the mouse's fault) was in finding the software program on the Fantech site. If memory serves me right, it wasn't a simple task. I had to do some hunting, or a few changes in the URL address words from another mouse software download location. Once I got it downloaded it has worked great. I do like the magnetic cover changes that come with this mouse. Two different styles for the palm area. The feel of the mouse clicks are very good. Kailh 8.0 switches hold up great with above average response times. Build quality is pretty spot on here. I have had no noticeable issues. It has a light feel to it that gives the perception that it's brittle but it's not. Now hell I could throw this like a baseball at the wall and I will destroy it but with normal usage it holds together very well. Lastly this mouse is a great value for what you will receive. Is it the best "top" tier competitive gaming mouse? No. Is it great for standing your own in fps, casual gaming, and some lite mmos? Hell yes. Overall, a great buy. I have even humored the thought of purchasing another one.

Pros: -Price -Top sensor (3395) -Perfect small-to-med sized mouse -Coating is fine enough to use this w/o grips -Extra shell, skates and grips come with the package Cons: -You will need to update the firmware for a known jitter issue with the sensor, it fixes it though -Shape may not be for everyone, might take a little getting used to -Software is meh -There's a double clicking issue if you set the debounce time below 2ms. I've found 2ms to be the sweet spot For the price, you get a quality wireless mouse with the best sensor on the market (for now). I was surprised at how good this mouse performed for me in-game as well. This is my 2nd mouse from Fantech (the other beind an XD3 v2). This mouse is definitely a contender for mouse of the year but I'm sure that award might go to Logitech of Razer. We shall see! It's definitely my main mouse right now.

I received this mouse today as a replacement for a defective Logitech G305 which I returned. (The G305 had a jammed up mouse wheel). Comparing the two: - Comfort - the Aria fits my hand well, the G305 felt a little too low, forcing more of a 'claw grip' than I typically use. - Build Quality - the Aria feels sturdy and reliable in my hand. The buttons on the G305 felt slightly flimsy. The Aria scroll wheel has a consistent feel and moves easily. The G305 scroll wheel was defective. The interchangeable rear cover feels sturdy and is held firmly in place by a small magnet. The PTFE mouse skids move over my desk noticeably more smoothly than the G305. - Assembly - the G305 was ready to use out of the box. The Aria came with optional anti slip grips - rubberized stickers - that had to be installed manually if desired. The process was simple enough, but did require a steady hand to ensure proper alignment. - Software - the Logitech software was available for Mac OS. The Aria software is windows only. The settings are apparently stored on the mouse itself - meaning that if you configure it on a windows PC it will remember those setting when re-attached to your mac. I have not tested this. For my purposes the default settings work well. - Click Quality - the G305 felt 'fine'. The Aria feels far better. The clicks are very positive and satisfying. - DPI adjustment - the G305 uses a top mounted button. This is convenient for changing modes on-the-fly - but also opens up the door to accidentally changing the setting. The button on the Aria is located underneath - safe from accidental presses...but almost impossible to use 'on-the-fly'. - Overall Experience - the G305 i recieved was defective, but even ignoring the mouse wheel, the overall build quality felt poor compared to the Aria. That said, the G305 was also available at a significantly lower price point. Value - had the G305 not been defective it would have offered slightly better value for money than the Aria. The Aria feels like a much better product - but that is also reflected in the price. Overall I am happy with this purchase. For occasional casual use, a (non-defective) G305 may be fine, but for heavier use, the Aria feels significantly more durable and solid in my hand.

I was in the market to find a new lightweight portable mouse for primarily productivity on a laptop with a gaming pedigree. After much research this one to my surprise looks and feels really good in person! Not too big or small, just right for me and comfortable. USB-C port for charging and can be used to connect as a wired mouse. Let alone the versatility of Bluetooth 5.0 for my use during office productivity work or using the provided dongle for their 1000hz polling 2.4Ghz mode when I'm down for some FPS gaming. Mouse wheel feels great and not too noisy but no left and right scrolling nor free spinning wheel mode. Not a big deal, but I would've also have preferred the left/right mouse switches to be a notch less clicky sounding for office use and would feel a bit more premium in my opinion. DPI adjust button should have been on top of mouse below the scroll wheel which has the space for it and not under the mouse. Still, this mouse checked all of my boxes and will keep any eye out for when and if Fantech comes out with a v2 of this mouse. Logitech has always been my go to mouse in the past but their latest mouse of similar offerings and prices did not fare well with me. I was also close to pulling the trigger on the Razer Orochi v2, but determined the smaller size, ergonomics, and no USB-C charging persuaded me to try the Aria XD7 in the end and is a keeper. I updated to firmware v1.1 immediately so did not notice any issues that had been reported on the internet so far with debouncing. Things I liked: - Perfect sized mouse for me somewhere between a small to medium sized mouse which in strikes a good balance for comfort, gaming, and portability on the go. - Quality gaming mouse switches and optical sensor - Lightweight - Clean aesthetics, size, and does not feel cheap - Adjustable DPI (Configurable in their mouse software too!) - Switchable Bluetooth, Wired, or 2.4Ghz Dongle modes - USB-C Charging - Scroll wheel feels excellent - Changeable lower half Shell of the mouse and magnetic! - Includes gaming mouse stick on grip pads, extra skates, and extra alternative lower half shell. Thank goodness Fantech included a solid lower half shell replacement as I personally do not like the Swiss cheese look just to keep a little more weight down. - Storage compartment for USB dongle Things I feel Fantech could improve: - DPI adjustment button moved to top of mouse below the scroll wheel - Mouse scroll wheel tilt for scrolling left and right - Use less clicky left and right switches to tune down the noise a slight notch for a more premium feel - Battery percentage remaining status indicator on the mouse via led Other mice used: Logitech G903 Lightspeed Logitech G502 Logitech MX518

This is a shame, I struggle to find mice that work for my hand and this one seems to. Build quality/clicks are great too. I haven’t yet found any way to remap the side buttons that works the way I need them to for ffxiv. This makes the use unusable for me. Logitech, razer, glorious, steelseries, and endgame gear all can do that, but have issues for me with quality control, size/shape, other software bugs that make them unusable for me. If that wasn’t bad enough their tech support is completely nonexistent. It’s advertised at “24/7” on their website, and 48 hours later I have zero response from them. This will be returned. Do better.

Great mouse great buttons. Very sturdy mouse, nothing jiggles at all.

Good mouse for small hands and any grip style, with premium feeling packaging and very complete customization features.

Fingertip grip dream. Good price. Decent battery life. Lightweight. Feels great to use/hold. Noticeably improves how accurate I can be in game. Can't charge with USB C chargers other than the one they supply you with. This was annoying. Mouse started spazzing out and started clicking every button randomly making it unusable about 8 months in. Warranty from fantech stated that only amazon can help but amazon wants nothing to do with it past the 30 days. I hear about this a lot from the subreddit about this mouse. It's a gamble whether this mouse will last after the 1st year but it's a great mouse otherwise.
