The Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S is a straightforward mouse with average build quality and minimal features. While this is a good budget option with ultra-low click latency, it lacks RGB lighting, and none of the buttons are programmable, which severely limits its overall gaming versatility.
The Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S is a high-end wired gaming mouse that was first released back in early 2021, and it boasts a comfortable right-handed design along with ergonomic design elements meant for claw grip compatibility. Similar to some of the best computer mouse options available today in its range, this mouse comes with a 6.6 feet long, flexible paracord-like cable for drag-free wired USB connectivity. But unlike many of the most popular gaming mouse models out on the market, it doesn’t feature RGB lighting or a downloadable software.
If you need customizable RGB lighting and official customization software support on a wired gaming mouse instead of relying on third-party software, then make sure to take a look at our SteelSeries Sensei Ten Gaming Mouse review. Including the scroll wheel, the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S gaming mouse has a total of eight buttons. But unfortunately, none of them are programmable.
What Is Not on the Box
What the brand doesn’t always tell you…
our Verdict
The Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S is a fairly basic wired gaming mouse with an average build quality and lightweight design. This is a right-handed only mouse with eight buttons and a responsive, if somewhat loud, scroll wheel. Unfortunately, none of the buttons are programmable since the mouse has no companion software. The NP-01S features a flexible connection cable and smooth mouse feet.
As for performance, the ZYGEN NP-01S wins some points and loses others. At a tested click latency of just 1 ms, this is a blazing-fast gaming mouse. It also sports a low lift-off distance. Unfortunately, the ZYGEN features a disappointingly-low sensitivity at just 3,200 DPI with only four different levels. Sensor tracking is also inconsistent. If you’re looking for a budget gaming mouse, you can’t go wrong here.

Even though both the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S and the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01 feature a similar 3200 DPI PixArt PMW3389 optical sensor, the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01 does have a marginally more consistent sensor for fast-tracking. And the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01 mouse features a significantly better and more durable overall build quality in comparison to the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S. But at just 76 grams, the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S is slightly lighter than the 81-gram Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01 gaming mouse model.

Despite both being similarly specced wired gaming mice, the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S does have a significantly lower 1 ms input latency compared to the Zowie EC3-C’s 14.5 ms input lag. However, the Zowie EC3-C does have an angled flexible cable (7.1 feet long) to help mitigate cable drag, while the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S only has a standard 6.6 feet long flexible paracord-like cable. In addition, the Zowie unit features a much better, more durable, and more premium overall build quality than the NP-01S mouse.

While the Endgame Gear XM1r is an ambidextrous mouse, the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S features a comfortable right-handed design. And the Endgame Gear XM1r features a significantly better overall build quality than the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S gaming mouse. On the other hand, the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S has more buttons (eight buttons, including the left- and right-click buttons) than the Endgame Gear XM1r mouse (six buttons), but none of them are programmable. And it has a slightly longer USB cable.
