WLmouse Beast X V2 Wireless Gaming Mouse Mini, Medium & Max

Choosing between the WLmouse Beast X V2 Mini, Medium and Max depends primarily on your hand size, grip style and preference for mouse contact. All three models share the same PAW3955HS sensor, Omron optical switches and up to 8000Hz polling, so the main differences are their physical dimensions and weight.

Beast X V2 Mini – Compact Mouse for Fingertip and Claw Grip

• Dimensions: 116 × 58 × 35mm

• Weight: 41 ± 2g

• Suggested hand length: Below 17.5cm

• Best suited for: Fingertip grip, compact claw grip and smaller hands

The Mini is the smallest and lightest Beast X V2. Its compact shape is especially appealing to players who control their mouse with their fingertips or prefer less palm contact during quick movements.

Beast X V2 Medium – Balanced Size for Competitive FPS

• Dimensions: 122 × 62 × 37mm

• Weight: 45 ± 2g

• Suggested hand length: Approximately 17.5–19cm

• Best suited for: Claw grip, relaxed claw grip and some palm-grip users

The Medium offers a balance between compact handling and additional hand support. It is a useful starting point for players who want a versatile shape for competitive FPS gaming without choosing the smallest or largest version.

Beast X V2 Max – Larger Shape for Bigger Hands

• Dimensions: 126 × 65 × 39mm

• Weight: 48 ± 2g

• Suggested hand length: Above 19cm

• Best suited for: Larger hands, claw grip and palm grip

The Max provides more length, width and height while remaining lightweight. It is the better starting point for players who find compact gaming mice too narrow or want more contact between their hand and the mouse.

Which should you buy? Choose Mini if you prefer a compact fingertip-oriented mouse, Medium for a balanced claw-grip shape, or Max if you have larger hands and want additional support. Hand width and personal grip preferences may change the ideal choice.

PixArt PAW3955HS – High-Precision Optical Tracking

The WLmouse Beast X V2 uses the PixArt PAW3955HS optical sensor, designed for high-speed gaming movements and precise cursor tracking.

With adjustable sensitivity from 50 to 50,000 DPI and a maximum tracking speed of 800 IPS, the sensor provides a wide performance range for competitive gaming.

For FPS players, the practical benefit is consistent tracking during flick shots, target transitions and low-sensitivity arm movements. Maximum DPI does not automatically improve aim; many competitive players use lower settings such as 400, 800 or 1600 DPI.

Is 8000Hz Polling Worth Using?

The Beast X V2 supports up to 8000Hz polling in both wireless and wired modes. At 8000Hz, the theoretical interval between reports is 0.125ms, compared with 1ms at 1000Hz.

Higher polling rates can reduce the time between input reports, but the difference players experience depends on their computer, game engine, frame rate and monitor refresh rate.

For users prioritizing battery life or system efficiency, 1000Hz or 2000Hz may be more practical. Players seeking maximum report frequency can select 4000Hz or 8000Hz when their system supports it.

Omron Optical Switches for Responsive Clicking

The Beast X V2 features Omron optical main switches and a RAESHA optical scroll encoder.

Optical switches detect actuation using light rather than relying on the electrical contact mechanism found in conventional mechanical switches. This design avoids the contact-bounce behaviour associated with traditional mechanical switching.

For gaming, these components are particularly relevant to repeated clicks, weapon switching and rapid input sequences.

Magnesium-Alloy Construction Without Excess Weight

The Beast X V2 combines a magnesium-alloy structure with a plastic bottom shell, allowing it to remain exceptionally lightweight across all three sizes.

The Mini weighs approximately 41g, Medium 45g and Max 48g, with a ±2g manufacturing tolerance.

A lighter mouse can reduce the mass players need to move during repeated aiming adjustments. However, weight alone does not determine aiming performance; mouse shape, grip comfort, sensitivity and mouse pad choice also matter.

All three models use a symmetrical body design, allowing players to select their preferred size while retaining a consistent overall shape family.

2.4GHz Wireless and USB-C Wired Gaming

The WLmouse Beast X V2 supports both 2.4GHz wireless connectivity and wired USB-C operation.

Wireless mode provides freedom from cable movement, while USB-C connectivity allows the mouse to be used with a direct wired connection.

Battery Life at Different Polling Rates

The Beast X V2 features a rechargeable 300mAh battery. Manufacturer-reported approximate battery life varies depending on the selected polling rate:

• 1000Hz: 180–200 hours

• 2000Hz: 90–100 hours

• 4000Hz: 50–65 hours

• 8000Hz: 24–30 hours

These are manufacturer estimates rather than guaranteed runtimes. Actual battery life depends on usage, settings and operating conditions.

Players who prioritize longer wireless sessions may prefer 1000Hz, while 4000Hz and 8000Hz are options for users who want higher report frequency.

Touchscreen 8K Receiver

The included 8K touchscreen receiver allows users to access supported mouse settings directly through its display.

Its USB hub functionality also provides additional connectivity for compatible devices.

This makes the receiver more than a standard wireless dongle, adding a convenient way to interact with supported settings during everyday use.

The WLmouse Beast X V2 is available at Standesk in three distinctive TheShy Signature Edition designs, each offered in Mini, Medium and Max sizes.

Black & Gold – Premium Dark Gaming Setup

Black & Gold combines a dark finish with contrasting gold accents. It is a natural choice for black gaming peripherals, minimalist desktop arrangements and setups with metallic details.

Graffiti – Expressive Gaming Aesthetics

Graffiti features a bold graphic design for players who want their gaming mouse to stand out. It suits colourful gaming setups, creator workstations and distinctive desktop themes.

White & Red – Light-Coloured Gradient Design

White & Red corresponds to the manufacturer's White / Pink Gradient edition. It combines a light-coloured finish with contrasting red and pink-toned accents, making it suitable for white gaming setups and mixed-colour peripheral collections.

Does the design affect performance? No performance differences are specified between these three finishes. Within the same size, the core sensor, switches, polling capability and connectivity remain the same. Choose the design that best matches your preferences and setup.
