Our Verdict
Endgame Gear XM1r
Endgame Gear XM2 8k
The Endgame Gear XM1r and the Endgame Gear XM2 8k are wired gaming mice with the same shape from the same lineup. The XM1r is an older model while the XM2 8k is a newer model with significantly better raw performance thanks to a new sensor model and support for a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. it also uses Kailh GX mechanical switches, which are SPDT switches that have lower latency click performance settings that the conventional Kailh GM 8.0 switches on the XM1r lack.
