The high-quality XM1 RGB gaming mouse is particularly aimed at ambitious gamers with a preference for style and design. It is the result of consistent development and innovation as well as numerous in-house tests by Endgame Gear. The manufacturer took the community feedback to heart and equipped the XM1 RGB with selected mechanical Kailh GM 4.0 switches, large and glide-friendly mouse skates, and RGB lighting. In combination with the onboard memory and optimised software, the combination of quality, precision, and design makes the XM1 RGB the ultimate gaming mouse. Shine like never before!

Super-fast signal processing & top sensor
The optical high-end sensor PixArt PMW3389 captures movements with high precision even at speeds of up to 11.43 metres per second (450 IPS) and allows you to maintain control over the gameplay in even the most hectic situations. A low lift-off distance of 2 millimetres ensures that Low-Sense players can easily move and re-centre the mouse without accidental game movements.
By software, the LOD can also be increased to 3 millimetres. Thanks to the patented analogue technology and the built-in Microcontroller 32bit STM ARM Cortex-M0 MCU, the internal switch signal processing latency remains under one millisecond, which, combined with the Kailh GM 4.0 switches, ensures an unprecedentedly fast click speed.
High-quality components for continuous use
The Endgame Gear XM1 RGB features a total of five mouse buttons and a dedicated profile switch. The mechanical and specially selected Kailh GM 4.0 switches of the two main buttons are an exclusive customisation for the Endgame Gear XM1 RGB and are designed for extreme stress and 60 million clicks. Longevity and perfect feedback with every click are guaranteed.
On the left side of the right-handed mouse, there are two thumb-accessible function buttons. On the top, in addition to the two main buttons, there is the clickable and very grippy mouse wheel thanks to its rubber coating. This wheel uses a tactile switch, which, due to the lower actuation force of only 75 grams, is noticeably smoother and more responsive.
RGB lighting with 14 LEDs in three zones
A total of 14 RGB LEDs in three lighting zones have been added to the XM1 RGB. This allows the mouse wheel, logo, and RGB ring on the bottom of the mouse to shine in 16.7 million colours and be individually adjusted and controlled with the software. In total, there are five lighting modes with different effects and four brightness levels for endless configuration possibilities.
Resource-efficient and versatile software
Precise gaming with the Endgame Gear XM1 RGB is possible because gamers can customise the mouse individually thanks to the extensive settings. The functional software adopts the product's slim design philosophy. It focuses on the essentials and therefore does not affect system performance. If desired, the software allows reassignment of the additional buttons and even the assignment of keyboard inputs. Four CPI profiles can be stored in the mouse's onboard memory via the software, which can be accessed using the profile switch on the underside of the mouse.
A short press of the button cycles through the CPI profiles - preset here are 400, 800, 1,600, and 3,200 CPI. A long press switches through the three predefined polling rate levels. The CPI value can be adjusted by software in 50-step increments from 50 CPI to 16,000 CPI and is indicated by the LED colour assigned to the profile slot on the indicator LEDs on the underside of the mouse. The three selectable levels of the USB polling rate are also indicated by the two indicator LEDs on the underside of the mouse (both lit = 1,000 Hz, right LED = 500 Hz, left LED = 250 Hz).
CPI or DPI?
CPI or Counts per Inch - in German, pixel density - is the correct term for the accuracy of a mouse. Although the term DPI has become the standard unit almost everywhere, Dots per Inch is strictly speaking the measure of detail accuracy for printers, digital cameras, or screens. There, the unit indicates the number of individual points that can be placed side by side in a line in an inch. In CPI, on the other hand, the number of steps a sensor registers when the mouse moves an inch is measured.
The surface with Dry Grip coating is slightly roughened, providing a firm grip - a huge advantage when hands get a bit moist during heated battles. At the same time, the ergonomically perfect shape prevents wrist strain and ensures maximum comfort even during prolonged use. The mouse's design is suitable for Claw, Palm, and Finger Grip.
The Endgame Gear XM1 RGB weighs only about 78 grams and the 1.85-metre cable is particularly flexible. The large, silent, and low-friction PTFE skates with a height of 0.8 mm ensure undisturbed gliding. They reduce the tiring effect of repeated fast movements and help maintain high pointer accuracy permanently. The large mouse skates make the gaming mouse particularly smooth to glide - the difference is especially noticeable on soft mouse pads.
Braided Endgame Gear Flex Cord Cable
The XM1 RGB features an extremely lightweight and flexible cable. These properties gave it the name Flex Cord. The braided cable allows for extremely tight bending radii. To further reduce cable drag, the strain relief of the XM1 RGB is angled upwards to create enough space between the cable and the surface. As a result, mouse movements feel unrestricted and almost wireless. A ferrite bead at the end of the Flex Cord reduces signal noise.
