The XTRFY M4 RGB is an ultra-lightweight mouse with superior build quality and a comfortable shape designed for right-handed use. However, it lacks customizable buttons and multi-device pairing features. The mouse wheel is basic, with no infinite scrolling.

Overview

The Xtrfy M4 RGB is an ultra-light gaming mouse released in 2019 as the brand’s mid-tier mouse. It connects via USB and has a click latency of 7.3 ms. Similar to most top-ranked computer mouse models, it has a PixArt PMW3389 optical sensor. Unfortunately, its dpi is not customizable but instead comes with the following eight different presets 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 3200, 4000, 7200, and 16000 dpi. An LED notification light beside the dpi button changes color to indicate the current setting.

It has a honeycomb shell and is fitted with a cable that is 6.0 ft long. The ergonomic design supports right-hand use and has seven buttons that include two side buttons plus a clickable scroll wheel. However, unlike most highly-ranked gaming mouse units, it does not have any customization software, so switching between and adjusting the RGB lights is carried out directly on the mouse.

What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The XTRFY M4 RGB mouse offers users comfort during gaming with its ergonomic shape. The skeletal design has holes in it that give it an aesthetically pleasing ultra-light honeycomb body. Unfortunately, the scroll wheel has been reported to squeak after a few weeks of use, but this can be fixed with silicone lubricant. The absence of advanced features such as infinite scrolling or L/R inputs makes it a pretty basic mouse for gamers.

Additionally, it lacks native customization software support, which means that none of the buttons are programmable, making it less flexible for users. Finally, it is designed for right-handed users, and because it does not have a multi-device pairing feature, it would be difficult to use for gamers who need to work on multiple devices.

Both the Xtrfy M4 RGB and the G-Wolves Skoll Mini SK-S ACE have a honeycomb shell, but the Xtrfy is strictly wired, while the Skoll has a detachable cable. The Skoll also has a higher click latency of 14 ms while that of the Xtrfy is 7.3 ms. Its seven buttons are all programmable, but those of the Xtrfy are not. This is because the G-Wolves has customization software, a feature lacking on the Xtrfy
