Our Verdict
EVGA X17
EVGA X20
The EVGA X17 and the EVGA X20 are similar FPS gaming mice belonging to the same lineup. The X17 is a wired-only model that's lighter but also includes a set of additional weights for adjusting the weight distribution. It also has a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. On the other hand, the EVGA X20 connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or Bluetooth, or you can connect it with its charging cable. It also has a more consistent sensor. Both mice have a pair of extra lift-off distance sensors EVGA claims can provide much lower lift-off distances than other gaming mice. However, this feature doesn't work as intended on the X20 we tested, and the X17 has a lower lift-off distance despite using the same technology.
