Endgame Gear XM2we Mouse Review

The XM2we, or XM2 Wireless Essential, mouse from Endgame Gear is a ‘lite' or ‘core' version of the company's upcoming XM2W mouse. It's still aiming to offer quality hardware, including a PixArt PAW3370 sensor and Kailh GO optical switches under the primary buttons, but at a slightly lower price. Can this mouse compete with the flagship, lightweight gaming mice that seem to be everywhere lately?
