Swiftpoint Z2

Truly the best gaming mouse I’ve used. I went from the Corsair darkstar and Logitech 502x+ and this has them beat. The software is just plain good. Destroys Corsair and Logi. Excellent buy

Good support

I do wish there was more support for Linux though. A lot of people are going to move to Linux after Windows 10 goes end of life. I'm going to be one of them.

Hi Jerry, thanks for the review. We do have an experimental Linux version that offers very close to full functionality. Feel free to reach out to the team if you have any issues with it or want to provide feedback so we can add it to our roadmap.

Rubber sliding off

The side of my mouse has started to come off after only 3 months. Otherwise it’s a good mouse.

Hi Ken, thanks for the review. We'll send a private email to get this sorted for you! Cheers, the Swiftpoint team

fast delivery

I made an order before the New Year. It's a gift for my husband. I thought I wouldn't make it in time. We did! The order came very quickly. My husband is happy. Thank you

I love my Swiftpoint Z2. It is as advertised and all the buttons are easy to use. The knuckle buttons are a staple for me when I play games and for regular use such as copying, pasting, changing tabs and windows etc. I did have an issue with my first mouse where the tracking was not working on a lot if surfaces. Customer support was incredibly helpful and immediately sent me a new one which now works perfectly. I can’t stress enough how important it is to have a company that stands behind their product and will make things right. If you are thinking about getting this, just do it.

too heavy

going from a mouse thats 80g to this is a major distance so make sure you are ok with heavy mice before you buy this other than that its a pretty good mouse

Hey Luca, thanks for the feedback. It definitely can take some time adjusting to the additional weight if you're coming from a light mouse. Let us know if you don't end up making the adjustment and would like to arrange a return. Fingers crossed you can get used to it! Thanks again, the Swiftpoint team

Great work and Gaming mouse

I do work in GIS/Surveying and 3D mapping and modeling and this mouse is incredible. The ergonomics are really nice especially since I have large hands along with all the extra buttons, I use the left/right tilt to switch between multiple desktops for work. Might even get a second one to keep at the office. Also a great gaming mouse, I use it mostly for FPS like tarkov where I have the tilt bound to in game leaning or BF4 where the tilt changes my optic or zeroing. Software is also great but I do wish it had a feature similar to Razers “Hypershift” button mapping and a little more control over the RGB or some custom image uploads on the OLED. Other than those minor things I’ve had it for a few months now and it’s a 5/5 very happy with my purchase, the case is also really nice.

Upgrade From the G502

As the title suggests, I swapped to this mouse from a Logitech G502, an excellent and extremely popular gaming mouse. Taking the plunge on a mouse as pricey as a Z2 with very little to go off of in terms of the history of this company, especially given that this was a Kickstarter project, was certainly a daunting proposition.

Based on what I saw, this looked a bit gimmicky and potentially not a meaningful upgrade in most situations. I also saw nothing that really signified what level of build quality it might have. Fortunately for me and for Swiftpoint, Logitech's atrocious software frustrated me enough that I was willing to try something exotic, given the lack of decent alternatives to the G502.

And overall, this is definitely an upgrade. The build quality is certainly not standout per se, but it definitely feels equally sturdy and reliable when compared to other high end mice. Previously I had used MadCatz mice a couple of times and was expecting that level of poor quality so this is definitely a cut above that. (No squeaky cheap plastic here!)

The buttons all feel good and responsive, the vibration (that I didn't know it had) is a super nice feature, the tilt options work great, surprisingly, and it glides super nicely. The weight is roughly about the same as my G502 with all of its weights put in, though this mouse doesn't have optional weights, and is a bit bigger. I find it slightly less comfortable in my hand but given its utility its not concerning.

The software is excellent. I had one issue with it when I first started using it where if my monitor turned off, due to its power button not putting it in standby mode, the software would bug out and not display fully on my screen. It would basically scale past the window size and the only way to fix it was to completely shut down the app and restart. This problem appears to have gone away though.

Customizing this mouse's features is really simple and reliable but there's no end to the options it has. Configuration mode on the mouse was confusing at first because I didn't even know it existed initially. Once I realized what it was and how it worked, it opened up a whole new world because I no longer needed a dedicated DPI button.

I haven't found a ton of reasons to use the pressure sensitivity options or tilt functions yet, and the calibration was confusing at first, but when everything else works so well, having extra options that I haven't found a use for in all applications yet isn't a downside to me.

At this stage the only thing I miss from my G502 is the scroll wheel lockout button, which I assume I've never seen on another mouse because its probably patented. If so, that should be a crime cause that is an excellent feature for any mouse.

Overall, this mouse is an excellent, if pricey, option. I was able to program it to handle every function in BG3 that I'd normally use my keyboard for, and as such it works far better than the controller scheme for that game. Great work!

Amazing!

Love the feel and functionality (and small size). Helps out my hand and wrist in a more comfortable and ergonomic position. Great to travel with as well. Highly recommend!

good concept, mediocre execution

Bad ergonomics, its especially hard to reach the top layers of buttons with bigger hands, No utility for other fingers, even the thumb only has two buttons which are very easy to mix up/missclick

Hi Eric, thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately with everyone having different hand sizes and grip styles it's hard to get something that fits everyone. If you are still not loving the mouse, feel free to contact us via support and we can arrange a return/refund for you!

Its good

I like it my only issue is the rubber grips for the thumb came lose but I just scratched them up a bit and super glued them back and haven't had an issue since. It has replaced my logitech g502 as my new favorite mouse

My favorite mouse

The Z2 is the best mouse I have used to date. From it's great ergonomics to it's amazing customizability, i haven't found another mouse that can do it all so well.

I'll give a solid 4

One issue with the build is even when I have the non tilt sliders installed on the bottom of the mouse it doesn't lock it up all the way and still tilts, would changing the sensitivity to 0 fix this ? Let me know my email is [****]

Hi Garrett, thanks for the reivew. It sounds like this could potentially be a defect with your particular lockout feet. We'll send you a private email via support to get this looked into and sorted out for you. Thanks

A Great CAD / Productivity Mouse

I work in a metrology lab, so I do a lot of CAD work (both in my inspection software, and design software). Most of the time I have my left hand on either the 3D mouse, or the controller of my CMM, so it's inefficient to move my hand back to the keyboard every time I need to hold down shift or ctrl to rotate the model; additionally, if I'm stepping through my inspection code I need to hit enter every time my machine goes to make a move. Being able to map all these as well as some Excel macros to this thing has been great. I bought the mouse as a replacement for my Roccat Leadr (since Turtle Beach decided to buy them up and discontinue their good mice). I have not been disappointed.

Best Mouse Ever

Great performance, industry leading functionality, questionable design.

The performance and functionality of this mouse speaks for itself but some of the design choices leave a bit to be desired. I don't really understand the thought behind the thumb buttons being placed top/bottom rather than front/back. Instead of adding to usability it kinda takes away from it because its certainly not easier or faster than the front/back buttons that are standard on every other mouse. Feels like it was only for the sake of being different. There's also the convex shape on the right-hand side of the mouse, instead of being concave like it is on the left-hand side. That combined with the mostly ineffective rubber pads had me strategically placing Lizard Skin hockey grip tape on both sides of the mouse, mostly over the existing rubber pads. I don't want to be too harsh as I do believe this is a great product with commendable and unique features but the aforementioned cons are too big for me to ignore.

Was skeptical at first

Took some time getting used to but it was definitely worth it. Love the sensor and customizability. Great for my animation workflow and freeing up my keyboard hand with macros when I'm gaming. Overall a pretty awesome mouse.

Didn't have tilt attachments in the box

Great mouse but mine did not come with tilt attachments in the box

Hi Andrew, thanks for the review. Sorry for the confusion but Creator doesn't have the tilt features of the Z2. You can check the comparison table for the exact differences. Let us know if you'd like to arrange an exchange. Thanks
