Title says it all. I'm an old gamer and have went through just about every gaming (and ergonomic) mouse you can think of -- the Z2 is better.
The construction feels solid, the clicks are responsive and satisfying. The software to configure is straightforward and it is HIGHLY customizable.
Nothing is perfect -- let me give you every complaint I can make about the newcomer experience -- these are all very minor, but:
1. I can't figure out forward/backward tilting. Side to side works fine.
2. I don't understand the point of the joystick adapter piece. Maybe I'm not the target audience?
3. I would like an easy way to show the click/mouse actions in the side LCD to make binding/debugging easier (there is a settings you can download that does this, but I think it should be a built-in option in the configuration app).
4. I just got the Z2 and now they have announced the Z3!
That's it. If I was forced to complain about this mouse, that's all I've got.
It's damn near perfect.
My son is enjoying this mouse. He says it's very comfortable. He also says it's the best mouse he's ever had. Thank you!
I have an original Z I backed on Kickstarter. Ever since, it has been my mouse I use almost every day. Like most of the others, my scroll wheel stopped working well, and the middle click full-on stopped working.
Thankfully, I found out Swiftpoint actually sells spare parts! I ordered this PCB as it has both the scroll and middle-click, installed it, and my mouse works like new!
I have a Z2 for work (because this is the best mouse I've ever used), and I am so glad I was able to restore my original!
The Z2 has ruined every mouse I have ever used, I’m bit of a mouse snob and like trying out different mouse and the Z2 is by far the best mouse I have used, it reminds me of the old G700s. The only complaint id say is teh software takes so time getting used to.
Die Maus liegt sehr angenehm an der Hand ist sehr präzise macht einfach nur viel Spaß mit dir zu arbeiten und zu zocken
Loved the Z1 since I got it, I'm a gamer and all the buttons and features are amazing!
The case is what you would expect. Everything fits perfectly and it's easy to use.
Great product, so impressed with the time and effort that has gone into this mouse and associated software. I would highly recommend this mouse to anyone. Well worth the investment.
When I first stumbled across an ad mentioning the Z2, I was hesitant; though the mouse looked awesome, I'd never heard of the company, and I was passably happy with the Logitech mouse I was using at the time.
Taking a look at Swiftpoint's site, the mouse' specs, and reviews I saw across the web caught my attention, though; it looked like something I could make use of across both my work and personal tasks. The price was nothing to sneeze at, but it looked intriguing enough that I figured why not?
Having used it for a few months, I don't think I could go back to a regular mouse. The customization software is fantastic, and the mouse itself offers more functionality than most apps I have know what to do with. Tying common workflow commands like copy, paste, cut, and undo to buttons I can reach with my mouse hand cuts down on fatigue, and the built in tilt sensors give you more than just button commands to map to actions in games. Looking to lean? you can map it. Want to map dodges in Dark Souls? You can do that too. It can even function as a full on multi axis joystick with the included attachments, which is awesome for flight sims (or Elite: dangerous).
If you're on the fence about the Z2, go for it. It's a wonderfully customizable device, and I'm hard pressed to envision a task or game that won't benefit from it.
This mouse is well built, and has a good hand feel. The only complaint I have is perhaps having the tilt pads (that your fingers touch,) moved further back for the right side.
This mouse is highly configurable and can be adjusted to suit whatever needs you have (in game, or out.)
Fits my hand perfectly. I love the product. The fact you can edit and change different profiles, use it as a joystick is amazing. Huge fan.
I make music, and the Swiftpoint allows me to do so, so many things with just my mouse that sometimes I don't even need my keyboard. I'm a big fan since the Z1 and I'll never switch to anything else.
No complicated thumbs buttons, all the others are well placed and easy to reach. Comfortable for long gaming sessions and easy to adjust.
I use the extra buttons for EVERYTHING I play, I have custom buttons for Minecraft, Arc Raiders, and so many other games. It is so easy to setup, and there is even advanced settings, but I haven't really used them because the UI scared me, I tried to use the mouse for editing, good thing it already had a preset for davinci, and the experience was good using it. I think there should be more presets for different games. I tried to use the leaning feature in siege, but it was kinda hard to use, but I'm still trying to play with it, and the gyroscope I haven't FULLY tried it out, and the only game I played with it, was a little bit of BeamNG. Overall this mouse is Perfect, and I really like it for everything I do, especially as a streamer, the only thing "bad" is the shipping time was way to long (it should have arrived in 10 days it came in 17 days) and I couldn't use it in a Minecraft tournament my friend was hosting. but aside from that because that's not the mouse's fault, I think it's the perfect mouse and I WILL be buying the next title.
Very comfortable, no issues with battery, charging fast and long lasting, precise cursor, good scrolling.
A really good mouse, at first it was very confusing to use but with time it's one of the vest mice i have ever used
Have loved the Z2 from day one. So much flexibility in programming all the buttons. Multiple profiles, pressure senstive switches. I haven't even begun to tap it's potential. The build quality is good too.
The only negatives I have are concerning the size of the mouse, but that's not a fault in the mouse itself, it's my short fingers.
I've had trouble finding any mouse that suits me. (tried logitech g502 & corsair nightsabre prior and they're not much better size wise)
Reaching the forward to the buttons on the left side is a stretch for me, makes that button a bit unusable in FPS games because I have to lift & reach my finger forward which compromises speed/reaction time.
This is a larger mouse and the "hump" where the palm is, is high for me.. so if you have smaller hands this might not suit you. It's also fairly heavy...which is understandable with all the tech crammed inside. I wish there was a shorter less high version... but with all the customisation I'll stick with it. :)
