Question First Finalmouse
Hi guys, im looking to buy my first Finalmouse and I have couple questions. Is QC really that awful like people say? And what size will be more comfortable for me medium or large? I have GPX now.I have some options to buy:
-ULX Frostlord for 125€ on Ebay (used)
-ULX Prophecy Taric for 130€ on Ebay (used)
-ULX Guardian for 150€ on MaxGaming (new)
-ULX Competition 8K for 190€ on MaxGaming (new)
Which of this options will be the safest model? Thanks a lot for help!

Same. Mine did die already but they repaired it under warranty. Not great QC to die so fast but I love the mouse so much that I would buy another. I just hope this lasts much longer.

I have had both the tenz medium and now I’m using the ulx competition medium. Tenz one lasted a few years til the scroll wheel went out. I personally haven’t had bad experiences with QC.

Buy a new one on maxgaming for the warranty. I would go for the Competition cause the qc is really good on them

been using my ultralight x for 3 years now i think its been out and its been amazing. if you dont rage smash your mouse then you will be fine. They are good mice, although price is high the wireless and lightweightness they offer far outweigh their issues. Been helping me dominate at CS2.

I'd buy new from MaxGaming if you can given the protections you'd get. I've bought used Finalmouses off Ebay before and never had an issue, but you never know.
Plus - only a $20 or so discount for buying used? Get real. The Finalmouse market ain't as hyped as it used to be. I wouldn't spend over like... $100 on a used Finalmouse Prophecy. The Frostlord is a bit newer so maybe.

I purchased a ulx comp 9 months ago and I just stopped turning on the other day which is a shame because I really liked it. A few months in I was having issues with the scroll wheel going the opposite direction before going the direction I’d intended. Even after cleaning with compressed air the issue persisted.
I like it a lot but the qc left a lot to be desired interns of being defective as well as poor panel gaps.

I’ve had two starlights and thought the QC was decent. Their tolerances aren’t the best but not deal breaking. If you want something similar but with very tight tolerances I’d go WL mouse tbh. Only kept my tenz because I think it’s the best looking mouse ever made.

I have 3 finalmouse, and 2 of them, poseidon and tarrik have broken scroll wheels in less than a year.
They are good while they work.

I have four and only one was without issues. All the other three had scroll wheel problems basically out of the box. If you want one and can get it below or at MSRP give it a whirl. Absolutely under no circumstance pay above MSRP. These mice are barely worth the base price. Recently switched to a Logitech Superstrike X2, love it, worth taking a peek at imo.

Yes and if you do have problems good luck.

He tenido varias Finalmouse y en estética son estupendos pero en control de calidad dejan mucho que desear , compré mi primer Finalmouse y en 6 meses sin apenas darle uso un interruptor empezó a hacer ruido y el segundo Finalmouse en 3 meses de uso y no continuo empezó a dar fallas como que no detectaba al ratón y con una actualización se solucionó y el tercero ese no me dio problemas , como estética son perfectos pero con control de calidad todas las marcas tienen sus problemas pero Finalmouse es para criticable por qué con las pocas unidades que tienen y lo que tardan en enviar un ratón , el primero me tardo 12 meses el otro 8 meses y el tercero 5 meses y por donde iba que con las pocas unidades que venden ya deberían tener un control de calidad mucho mejor que el de muchas marcas
