EVGA X15 MMO Gaming Mouse, 8k, Wired, Black, Customizable, 16,000 DPI, 5 Profiles, 20 Buttons, Ergonomic 904-W1-15BK-KR

First off, dislikes. The scroll wheel stopped working on one of the three I've bought. This is apparently a known issue, but it's only happened on one of my mice, and I honestly usually disable scroll wheel bindings [in game] anyway. It has a tendency to misfire if I use the scroll click button or left or right on the scroll wheel. This is true of any mouse that I bind things to those buttons on and is not unique to this mouse. You can RMA it back to EVGA if this happens. I'm waiting on a replacement for that mouse to arrive as of this post. I bought three because I wanted a backup and one for a laptop that I rarely use. 9 and 10 buttons are awkward to use, but useful for rarely used hotkeys, or system buttons like enter. It has a learning curve if you're coming from a 3x4 MMO mouse or new to MMO mice in general. So why such a high rating? Positives outweigh the negatives by a lot. It has 20 buttons, and that's nothing to scoff at. Most MMO mice aside from the Logitec G600 have fewer. There's no button where your thumb rests on the center, meaning it is easy to avoid accidentally pressing buttons when you use the top buttons due to squeezing the mouse. This is especially a thing if I use the ring finger button. A couple of the eight buttons I have to bend my thumb to reach, but this is true of the top and bottom of the back row of 3x4 mice as well. It's not unique to this mouse. There are five top facing buttons intended for bindings, right and left on the scroll wheel, and pressing the scroll wheel in, plus you can program the DPI buttons to be bound to something else. I never change my DPI in game, so that's a useful feature. Plus, you can put that elsewhere if you need it and still want those buttons to be bound another way. The 9 and 10 buttons are a good place for it. That's ten different inputs for hotkeys on the top side of the mouse. I don't know of any other mouse that has that. It pretty much means I only have to worry about movement keys on the keyboard. WASD, Shift, and Ctrl. Along with a few odd menu keys for stuff like weapon wheels, map, and inventory. Plus, you've got eight easily accessed hotkey buttons on the side, and two that you have to stretch a bit to reach. [9 and 10]. There's also a switch on the bottom that disables the ring finger button. I usually set that to V which is melee in most games, but it's nice to be able to disable it for some games. The mode switch feature is neat, but I don't personally use it. They call it "shift" and it allows for the bindings to be different if you hold down a particular button. The software is fine, not great, but does the job. I've had no issues with it. It has updated at least once since I bought it. The mouse does sometimes not enable bindings, but this only happens when I boot my system, and very rarely. It's never an issue when I'm using it, and I can tell when it happens because the RGB doesn't come on. The fix is just to unplug and plug it back in. You can also disable RGB entirely, which is normal for mice like this. Overall, it's the best gaming mouse I've had. There are small things I'd improve, but the overall functionality outdoes other mice I've tried, including the G600, due to the amount of inputs on the top of the mouse.

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. Using a plastic or leather mousepad not made from fabric 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. You can also use a grounded desk mat, sit on a grounded sheet, or use an ESD wrist strap. Maybe even mount some kind of bare wire to the surface of the mouse grip, and run that wire along the USB cord and have it connect to ground on your power strip. 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. Original 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.

As a Logitech G600 user, I was disappointed that it was discontinued, so I wanted to try this one. First impressions: 1. It is somewhat larger than the G600, kinda uncomfortable on my palm, but I bet I'll get used to it. 2. The "E-Shift" button is smaller and significantly harder to press. You have to press the middle of the mouse for it to activate. 3. The software is not terrible and works fine for configuring, but it doesn't have that same polished feel. I don't know how much the 8000hz report rate will help, but cool I guess. Haven't noticed anything different. The placement of the numbers on the side are really weird and I don't know if my thumb should be on the 5 or the 10 at rest. I don't know why they don't advertise the E-Shift functionality because it's exactly what I was hoping for. The marketing material wasn't clear whether that was a button or not. If I were to ask for anything in a second iteration of this, I would request that the E-Shift button be press-able at the tip of the mouse instead of the center. I will come update my review if I encounter any of the static electricity problems others face. ---------------- Update 1 Incredible news! The configured macros, rebinds, and profile are stored on the mouse. I configured it at home on Windows and brought it to work where I use Linux. The same config worked ---------------- Update 2 Unfortunate news. The scroll wheel scrolls down and up at the same time when scrolling up. Scrolling down seems to be fine, but up is the problem. Dropping my rating from 5 to 4 stars. It's too early for this kinda thing to break

For the X15 MMORPG mouse The design: I understand why EVGA would go with these layout, the traditional layout like such as Razer Naga, Logitech G600, and Corsair Scimitar, the 7-12 would be difficult to reach with your thumb; EVGA fix this by moving the 9-12 to the front and make 1-8 circular with a empty space in the middle your thumb to rest on. A major problem to the design is the button layout, it is space out quite far apart which force me to make a choice between pressing 9, 10 regularly and forgo 4, 8, 7 or forgo 9-10 which would make the design of the layout pointless. However, I do enjoy having easy access to 11 and 12. The number buttons' actuation are too light that most of the time, I would accidently actuate them when moving the mouse around during gameplay because it is quite a heavy mouse. Combine with how space out all the button is, I would accidently press the wrong button when trying to reach another button. The software, Unleash, is really rough, the interface look like a a web page from the early 2000s. Unleash would randomly crashed and reset any save on the mouse, sometime any change on the mouse would not be save. The mouse RGB is very dim, and sometime they would not turn on and require you to re-plug the mouse. Overall, I understand what EVGA trying to do and applaud them for trying, but they need to try again and fix Unleash to a more usable software.

UPDATE: I cannot use another mouse. If they discontinue this mouse and mine breaks I will never use a computer again. Every mouse has tradeoffs. The important thing is finding the one that works for you. For me, this is it. Where on traditional MMO mice, the side buttons can be awkward to use and misclicks might happen from time to time, the layout on the X15 just feels "right." Since the buttons are large and a bit spread out, it's hard to hit the wrong ones on accident, and it's easier to build muscle memory. The build quality is about what you'd expect from this price. It doesn't look or feel much better or worse than Razer, Corsair, or LG mice in the same price range. It has a rubberized coating and some lights on it. The ring finger button feels a little loose even when it's disabled which is sort of annoying, but I don't notice it when I'm doing stuff. The software is ugly--it looks like some 2011 BIOS menu--but it works great and it's more lightweight than the Razer, LG or iCue software. The Razer software will eat like 400mb of RAM in the background on average, while the highest I've seen EVGA's "Unleash" software get is something like 70mb. You aren't going to get anything fancy out of it, but you can program your macros and set up your RGB how you like. One thing I appreciate about the software is that you can actually get a list of characters etc. to bind rather than just recording keystrokes (which you can also do). You don't have to use autohotkey or anything to bind F13-F24, it's right there in the software. TLDR; didn't expect much from EVGA, but they absolutely delivered with the X15. Highly recommend giving them a shot.

I just received mine today. And yes, I read reviews of its mouse wheel issues, software issues and random disconnects with USB and Windows. But, it was super discounted and figured I would give it a try in case I got lucky and got a good one. Well,, I didn't. Right away I noticed a big difference it the force required to press the left and right primary's. Left click is extremely sensitive and even ghost double clicks right out of the box while right click requires considerably more force. Also the mouse wheel left and right scroll are dramatically different and far to stiff to use. The shape of this thing is odd to say the least. There is no thumb rest and nowhere to grip to lift it. Its just a clunky design. Only about half of the side buttons are reachable even with my large hands which completely defeats the purpose of having them. There just isn't enough refinement and its got quality control issues right out of the box. Going back same day I got it. I gave two stars because with a little ergonomic refinement and some better quality internals, this would probably be quiet usable. EVGA is usually a safe bet in general so I took a change. This kind of sours my feelings about their engineering. At least on peripherals.

My Rival 500 mouse stopped working, and since it is no longer available for purchase, I had to find a new one. I decided to buy the Corsair Darkstar. It’s a nice mouse with plenty of buttons, but it doesn’t feel quite like what I’m used to. So, I also purchased the EVGA X15, which is more similar to the Rival 500, although it lacks the thumb rest. The side buttons on the X15 are easy to reach with my thumb, but I have to stretch a bit to press buttons 9 and 10. I also wish the buttons were larger or had a more tactile feel to make them easier to use. As for key assignments, it can be somewhat confusing to find the keybinds I want to use. Overall, it’s a great mouse.

Edit: After a few months of owning the mouse, the scroll wheel randomly registers wrong directions. From reading the forums and other reviews this seems like a relatively common issue. Warranty support is horrible. For a cross-ship, they wanted me to either pay 4x the cost of the mouse as ransom, or I would have to pay myself to ship it back. Obviously there's no guarantee of them releasing my money as they could deem the fault as not covered by warranty for whatever reason, and if I were to pay to ship it back it'd cost a significant portion of what I originally paid for the mouse. What's worse is that they outright even refused to admit that this is a problem, when I asked if I'm going to just have this repeat in another few months. What is even the point of getting a replacement when it's going to break that fast? This warranty process is horrible in comparison to what I had to deal with a Logitech mouse. With Logitech they often outright just ship you a new or refurbished mouse. At this point I'm not even going to bother with the return given how obtuse it is. Going to go back to my faithful G600, where the scroll wheel never failed in years of using it, and I only had to DIY replace the switches every few years. Avoid the X15 like the plague. Original 4 star review below as a reference. The X15 is one of the very few mice with a third main button for the ring finger, with the G600 being the only other similar option. I was excited to see the X15 as a possible alternative as I've been exclusively using the G600 for at least 5 years, and wanted to try something else especially as G-Hub kept giving me all sorts of various issues. The good: - Side buttons are more tactile and responsive than those on the G600. It seems that this uses straight up tactile switches, while the G600 used rubber domes over small surface mounted domes. - Third main button is fantastic to have, and I don't know why more mice don't have that feature. If you don't like it, and don't want to press it accidentally, there is a physical switch to have it be no longer clickable. - The programming appears to be all hardware based, and the software essentially just loads the configuration into the hardware as well as show the current profile if it's running. Once you configure the mouse to your liking, you don't need to have the software running, which is excellent and very welcome especially if you also happen to also use Linux or just hate memory gobblers. That said, it'd be nice if there was a software based automatic profile switching based on the loaded game. - PIXART 3389 is a nice sensor. No issues to report there. - RGB lighting can be entirely disabled. Yay! - DPI can apparently be configured in 1 DPI increments. The meh: - The side buttons are in a rather weird configuration. Most MMO mice cluster them in a 3x4 configuration as closely as possible to each other, and it's definitely odd to leave out a center button here as it certainly doesn't improve ergonomics. They could have instead added a little nib on the center button. As is, it's a relearning and remapping curve from 3x4 mice. - Two of the aforementioned buttons are just oddly too far up for easy locating with a thumb. - The software does not allow for a full backup/restore of the entire configuration, and only the macros can be saved and loaded from a file. Also means that there's no way to copy from profile to profile. - Remapping is pretty iffy as there's no way to search for or type the key you want to map, and instead you have to hunt for it in a dropdown. - The eshift function (where pressing it gives you access to an additional layer of mapping) can seemingly only be assigned to the third main button. That button can be mapped to any other key or function mapping, but it's a bit odd that eshift is seemingly restricted to only one key. I don't use that function regardless, so it's not a huge problem for me. - Sniper DPI setting doesn't seem to have a mapping for it. There's DPI shift mapping, but it's not apparently related to the sniper dpi, but rather to another stage of the DPI setting. Not something I normally use, and DPI shift is sufficient, but it is rather odd. The bad: - The side cluster, again, really needs better ergonomics. I think the G600 and similar mice handled it really well there with the dual ridge/valley solution, making it easy to tell where your thumb is currently at. Here the buttons are all flat and similar feeling, so even when starting off in the (unfortunately) empty middle nib, it's sometimes hard to tell which button is being pressed. I'm sure over time one can get used to it, but there's no reason for it to not be better. - The scroll wheel feels kinda mushy and not very pleasant especially at higher turning rates. G600 definitely has the advantage here. On the whole, at the current price it's a great alternative to the previous venerable options on the market. Hopefully EVGA can improve a bit on their software, and eventually release an updated version that is more ergonomic on the side buttons. I'll continue to update this review as I keep using this mouse. Edit: See the update above. No longer recommended. Avoid like the plague.

みなさんが書かれているように、大きすぎて持ちにくい、設定アプリが分かりづらい、などはその通りですが、これらに関しては慣れればなんとかなるとは思います。ただ私としてはKVMを使ってPCを切り替えると設定が初期化される点だけは許せないです。KVMを使わずたくさんのボタンが欲しい人にはよい製品だと思います。

Original look and a great alternative to logitech g 600 mouse. The tertiary button give an edge in game

The EVGA software is not fit for purpose. It just doesn't save your mouse settings at all. Whatever you configure will be deleted, when the software is closed or when the mouse is replugged in.

Produto muito bem acabado, primeiras impressões as melhores possíveis!

Only few days of usage and the mouse wheel is faulty. This happens frequently when scrolling up it doesn't scroll up. Have to scroll up a few more times then only it will scroll up. Also happens frequently is when scrolling down, it will first scroll up and then scroll down. Searched the internet, apparently the mouse wheel issue is well known.
