SLX Nighfall review after 3 weeks

As one of the few privileged enough to get my hands on this mouse, here is my review:

The TL;DR is that this mouse is great because of the technology behind it, but the shape just wasn't it for me. I highly recommend the mouse for anyone who can afford it, but please do not spend more than $200 on this mouse. It's not going to make you significantly better at aiming.

Finalmouse claims that the TMR-DS technology in the mouse "reduces click latency by up to 35 ms." In theory, this is true, but in practice, getting the full 35 ms reduction was basically impossible for me. I had to put the sensitivity at 0.2 and use an early release before I started getting unintended clicks.

I probably saved around 20 ms instead of the 35 ms they claim, which is completely fine because the mouse still feels super responsive. It felt really good when hitting flicks, and I also felt like I was more locked in while using it.

When playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, I noticed quickscoping was a lot easier. It felt like I was shooting earlier than I was used to, which made the mind-muscle connection I had with my fingers feel really good.

When playing Overwatch, I mostly noticed that my clicking felt faster. Tracking felt pretty much the same. Characters like Cassidy and Shion were where I noticed the responsiveness of the mouse a lot more.

The biggest difference for me was in Valorant. I felt like I was reacting to players on my screen a lot faster, and my click timing felt wayyy better. I think this mouse is really made for TacFPS players. This is where the technology actually felt the most noticeable to me.

Again, this mouse is not going to make you better at aiming. When playing the Viscose benchmarks, I did not notice a significant improvement in my aim. I hover around Celadon and Viridian, and after using this mouse, I am still a Viridian player.

My only real complaint with this mouse is the shape. If this mouse had the same shape as the Pulsar X2H CrazyLight, I would have given it a 5/5.
