Endgame Gear XM1 RGB Review

Source: Tech Power Up added 15th Oct 2020

Introduction

After the original XM1 and XM1 White, the XM1 RGB is Endgame Gear’s third iteration of their XM1. Of course, the most notable addition is RGB lighting, which was entirely absent on both the XM1 and XM1 White. There’s more, though: Main buttons and scroll wheel click have been updated with new switches, mouse feet now consist of two big skates instead of four smaller ones, and the software has been revised with added functionality. Furthermore, the Kailh GM 4.0 switches for the main buttons have been pre-selected to ensure lower operating force. The XM1 RGB also comes with the updated and incredibly flexible cable first introduced on the XM1 White. Shape, sensor (PMW3389), and the patented analog switch technology, on the other hand, remain unchanged.
