Overall I like the concept very much. The flexibility is impressive. My one reservation is that I’m more used to being my thumb as a modifier (alt,ctrl,shift and chording). The z2 has great options for fingers. Deep click is great although not as useful on the two main mouse buttons as it is on others as MB1 and 2 often have special roles when held and it’s hard to assign an independent deep click function that doesn’t also trigger the main button function. The main issue for me is having only 2 thumb buttons and no deep click on either. I’d be 5* review if there were 4 or so thumb buttons with deep click functionality.

Best mouse I have ever tried

Swiftpoint Z2

I have bought the new Swiftpoint Z2 and I must say that it has meet all my expectations. Especially for hardcore fps gamers that want to lean around corners.

Excellent costumer's service!

10/10, I spent 12 months going through different options while setting up my first pc build and I couldn’t be happier with where I landed. I’m even tempted to get a second as a backup !

I am enjoying my mouse - good mouse. Feels slick, software is good, buttons are plentiful and in good positions, love having swappable caps, the shape in the hand took getting used to but changing where I normally put my pinky solved that pretty quick - now feels great. Having that resting pad for my ring finger is awesome. Wish it was a little bigger so my pinky could share.
Things I really want you guys to know though are...
1. The rubber pad for resting your thumb is flexing or stretching out of place already. I can feel it wrinkle under my thumb and I need to flatten it back into place. I'm SO glad it's not a sticker but at the same time I know it's gonna come loose eventually.
2. When my hands are very clean and smooth I can feel the mouse sliding out of my grip on the outer edge. There's no friction or lip to keep it from popping out like a bar of soap. I feel I need to wet my hands to keep hold.
3. I bought the mouse for the number of buttons, the macros, and the tilt function. I'm using the buttons and the macros but the tilt ended up not being as useful as I expected. I still use it now and again but it's too hard to control reliably because I have no real sense of when it's going to activate. the margins are so fine that just moving my mouse tilts it enough to actuate. I wish it was more tactile, like a button, where I could feel I'm about to hit actuation and be more deliberate.
4. Not really my style, aesthetically. The 'Creator' is pretty handsome, but all the sharp geometry is pretty 'GAMER CORE' (says the guy with a mouse with 14 buttons).

I never ever thought I would find a useful thing out of ads on social media apps. But that's where I first saw Swiftpoint Z2 Mouse. Searched up people talking about it, scrolled several Reddit threads... Eventually, I bit the bullet and dumped a little under $200 into "a laser pointer on a wire wrapped in plastic!" I felt so extravagant! Hah! And the Instagram ad manager actually @'d me back when I commented about buying it, asking for my thoughts on the product. I replied that I'd only just received my Z2, and hadn't used it enough yet to give a realistic response.

Welp, here I am a month later. As it turns out, the Z2 is an amazing piece of engineering.

First off, my mouse selection criteria. I am a gamer for 3 decades now, and a PC gamer for 25 years. (StarCraft Brood War and Team Fortress Classic, represent!) When I started looking at more than 2-button mice in the 2000s, I quickly discovered that my habitual Claw Grip was incompatible with the concept of a "gaming mouse" that put the extra buttons under my thumb. I eventually settled on the Logitech G300s with its many extra face buttons. By the end of 2024, I was on my 3rd G300s and was getting very frustrated by the declining quality of each one! Just looking at the Z2 made me go "ooooooh, that's a lot of face buttons! But how can I use them all?" FYI, these days I am playing Warframe, Helldivers 2, and The First Descendant.

The first four buttons closes to the top of the Z2 are naturally easy to access. The next four buttons exist in a pair of buttons that are push/pull hybrid switches. I wasn't sure how I could curl my fingers enough to manipulate them. However, my fat hands and fingers mean that I can click those buttons down with the underside of the first finger segment on fore and middle fingers. It feels incredibly natural!

The two pull clicks, however, it's a bit troublesome. I have to do a very long curl, like making a fist. It's disruptive to gameplay, so I have assigned non combat activities to those pull clicks.

Two thumb buttons are utterly ordinary and no trouble at all. More useful non combat clicks, and browser forward/back.

The two edge buttons aside the left mouse click were an initial pain point. I wasn't sure why I felt like they were just out of reach or an awkward finger curl to click while gaming. After a month of practice, I have determined that the edge button issue was due to the mouse turning about 10 degrees counter clockwise in my habitual claw grip, and not a positioning issue with the Z2 button design. I have since adapted my grip and this is no longer an issue.

The only issue that remains is with the provided button customization software. It's amazing and flexible and a powerful tool... too much so. I can't figure out how to get the Z2 extra buttons to function as virtual joystick buttons, separate from Keyboard inputs. I have settled for assigning all Z2 buttons beyond the basic 5, over to duplicating numpad keys. This is an issue with numlock on/off situations, and especially frustrating in Helldivers 2. I specifically want to get the Strategem Call In inputs off my numpad and into virtual joystick inputs... because Helldivers 2 doesn't recognize numpad keys and only sees arrow key inputs!

That's basically it. The Z2 is an *amazing* piece of engineering and I am happy I splurged on it. I might even buy a second on as a backup, in case Swiftpoint goes out of business before my Z2 breaks!
