The Xenics Titan GX AIR Wireless is an ambidextrous gaming mouse with two buttons on the left side and a pair of swappable palm rest segments. The first palm rest has honeycomb-shaped cutouts, while the second is a more traditional, solid plastic style. Its shape is very similar to the BenQ ZOWIE EC2 but slightly smaller. It's well-suited for all grip types and most hand sizes, but it's too small for small hands to use comfortably using any grip type. You can connect it wirelessly with its USB receiver or wired with its USB-C charging cable, and it has a compartment under the palm rest for storing the receiver when it's not in use. Performance-wise, it has a very low lift-off distance, and you can adjust the CPI by increments of 50 within a broad range. Unfortunately, it has high click latency, and you may prefer a more responsive-feeling option, especially if you play fast-paced or reaction-based games.
Our Verdict

It connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or wired with its USB-C charging cable, and it has a comfortable, ambidextrous shape suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes. However, it isn't suitable for small hands using any grip type. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any Bluetooth connectivity options, and its scroll wheel doesn't have L/R tilt inputs or a free-scrolling mode.

The Xenics Titan GX AIR Wireless is an impressive mouse for FPS gaming, but it has high click latency, and some gamers may prefer a more responsive-feeling option. That said, it feels well-built and is very lightweight, regardless of which palm rest you're using. Its ambidextrous shape is suitable for all grip types and all but small-sized hands. It also has mouse feet that glide very smoothly on mousepads and desks and a flexible paracord-like cable with a USB-C connector, making it easy to replace if it gets damaged.

The Xenics Titan GX AIR Wireless is satisfactory for MMO gaming, but it doesn't have nearly as many side buttons as a dedicated MMO gaming mouse, and it has high click latency. Nevertheless, it feels well-built and has an ambidextrous shape suitable for all grip types and all except for small hands. Performance-wise it has a very low lift-off distance, and you can adjust the CPI by increments of 50 within a wide range. Unfortunately, it has high click latency for a gaming mouse. While you can set custom profiles using the software, there's no way to assign a button to cycle between them, meaning you need to manually swap them using the software.

Compared To Other Mice
The Xenics Titan GX AIR Wireless is a very good wireless gaming mouse that's very similar to the Pwnage Ultra Custom Wireless Symm. Like the Pwnage, the Xenics also includes both a solid plastic and honeycomb-style palm rest. However, the Pwnage has additional honeycomb cutouts on the sides of the mouse, while the Xenics has solid plastic sides. Shape-wise, both mice are also clearly inspired by the BenQ ZOWIE EC2, but they're somewhat smaller. Overall, the Xenics Titan GX AIR Wireless is a great choice for fans of the EC2 shape looking for a lightweight, wireless alternative. Unfortunately, it has high click latency for a gaming mouse and may not feel responsive enough for all gamers.

Test Results
There's a compartment under the palm rest for storing the USB receiver when it's not in use.
The solid plastic palm rest weighs approximately 2g more than the honeycomb palm rest. It's also possible to remove the palm rest piece and use the mouse without it. Doing so reduces the weight of the Xenics Titan GX AIR Wireless to 71.14g. If you're interested in a gaming mouse that's just as lightweight but also has a solid plastic shell, check out the SteelSeries Prime Mini Wireless. Or, for an even lighter option with a solid plastic shell, check out the Ninjutso Origin One X.
For a similar gaming mouse that has grippy, rubberized side grips, check out the MSI CLUTCH GM41 LIGHTWEIGHT WIRELESS.
The manufacturer's website claims the Xenics Titan GX AIR Wireless has a battery life of up to 70 hours. However, this isn't something we test. The LED lights on the Xenics Titan GX AIR Wireless flash when the battery reaches below 10%.
