> 24 hour*Reference images for size comparisons* After hours and hours of research, videos, and reviews on gaming mice I settled on this Aria XD7 by Fantech. I enjoy using this mouse for my hybrid fingertip & relaxed claw grip style. You can palm grip this mouse pretty well if you have smaller hands. A straight fingertip style is good but its best suited for a claw grip style. Most importantly this mouse fits great for my lower end medium male hands. I do not have those quarterback or basketball star hands; my life is over :( I have been using this mouse wirelessly for a month straight, just about every day for 3+ hours. Overall, the battery life is very good. I charge a little over once a week, 7-9 days. The switches are great, very responsive, and great for my slow set for double clicking for guaranteed double clicks. The mouse wheel feels just right. Its not smooth rolling and gives you solid control. The polling rate is at 1000hz, it has a very good sensor; a pixart 3395 if memory serves me right. The software is good. It is exactly what I would expect for a performance gaming mouse. I do enjoy the customization with the DPI settings. I am a fan of the simplistic RGB lighting too. I am also a fan of the fact that the RGB can be customized beyond just a few colors, you can set pulsating or breathing responses at any duration you may choose. You can even set macro key sets with this software, not really important for me, but I am sure someone out there will appreciate the detail to give a user more options in the competitive atmosphere. I have had zero connectivity issues wirelessly. Thee has been no drop connections, not one. The Bluetooth tech is not there IMO. It lags and takes time connect. Setting up the Bluetooth was easy to do but it took more time than I would have expected it would take. The only issue outside of poor Bluetooth Tech (not the mouses fault) was in finding the software program on the Fantech site. If memory serves me right, it wasnt a simple task. I had to do some hunting, or a few changes in the URL address words from another mouse software download location. Once I got it downloaded it has worked great. I do like the magnetic cover changes that come with this mouse. Two different styles for the palm area. The feel of the mouse clicks are very good. Kailh 8.0 switches hold up great with above average response times. Build quality is pretty spot on here. I have had no noticeable issues. It has a light feel to it that gives the perception that its brittle but its not. Now hell I could throw this like a baseball at the wall and I will destroy it but with normal usage it holds together very well. Lastly this mouse is a great value for what you will receive. Is it the best top tier competitive gaming mouse? No. Is it great for standing your own in fps, casual gaming, and some lite mmos? Hell yes. Overall, a great buy. I have even humored the thought of purchasing another one.

> 24 hourOverall good mouse. For me this mouse does its job. Its very lite so if that is what you like this is for you. I use it wired, though you have the option to use Bluetooth or wifi dongle. You also get two covers one with holes one without. You get spare skates as well. I decided to buy other skates but honestly the stock ones are good too.

> 24 hourPros: -Price -Top sensor (3395) -Perfect small-to-med sized mouse -Coating is fine enough to use this w/o grips -Extra shell, skates and grips come with the package Cons: -You will need to update the firmware for a known jitter issue with the sensor, it fixes it though -Shape may not be for everyone, might take a little getting used to -Software is meh -Theres a double clicking issue if you set the debounce time below 2ms. Ive found 2ms to be the sweet spot For the price, you get a quality wireless mouse with the best sensor on the market (for now). I was surprised at how good this mouse performed for me in-game as well. This is my 2nd mouse from Fantech (the other beind an XD3 v2). This mouse is definitely a contender for mouse of the year but Im sure that award might go to Logitech of Razer. We shall see! Its definitely my main mouse right now.

> 24 hourIve been using this mouse for a a few months and this is definitely my favorite new mouse that Ive tried (previously used gpro-x, model o wireless, and original gro wired non hero version ) my favorite mouse is still the original gpro, its just the perfect shape and size of you want to finger tip/claw grip. With this mouse the mid bump is just slightly too high so the top part of my palm slightly bumps it. The left side has a small indent for your thumb and it feels just alright. I like the side buttons although they do feel a bit mushy/cheap, and the main clicks feel very heavy at first, but after some use they soften out and arent as loud, but still very loud compared to the gpro-x. Coming from the gpro super light as my previous mouse, it took a lot longer to get used to this mouse than I thought. For about 2 weeks I straight up felt like I didnt even know how to hold it even though the wired gpro was the first gaming mouse I used and used it for over 2 years. Compared to the model o wireless and the gpro which I both used for only 1 year each, going back to a claw grip/fingertip grip was hard to get back into. It took me about a month/month and a half to get fully back into the shape so my hand would naturally grip the mouse. Performance wise, once I got back into with the shape, Ive been playing the best/most consistent ive played probably since the gpro wired. I think smaller mice give you better control compared to larger mice and not having to palm grip the mouse gives you better target acquisition in game. As for the mouse it self, battery life for the first 3 or so months was a solid week, but afterward, its currently at the point of maybe 4-5 days of battery life. Pretty disappointing, but as long as it doesnt get worse than this, its fine. As for the sensor it feels pretty good, coming from the hero sensor from Logitech. Tracking felt really good, its snappy and feels very 1:1 and Im much more of a fan of these mouse feet compared to the hard plastic feeling of the gpro-x (although I still prefer model Os mouse feet). The reason its not 5 stars is basically some creaking after 3 months on the side walls, sometimes the back plate also creaks, and the left click also sometimes makes a slight creaking sound. Its not all the time, it comes and goes day to day for some reason. And also the battery life getting worse after just a few months. As of this review they also put out a firmware update that allows you to disable the motion sync and from my testing after a week, is that it feels even better with it off. Everything felt more controlled, but it might just be placebo. Ive definitely still been playing very consistent, which is a good thing. Overall Im very much a fan of this mouse, although if youve ever tried the original wired gpro, this is still a ways a way from that. Until they make a refreshed wireless version of it the search will still continue to get that perfect mouse shape and size back in my hand.

> 24 hourI wound up switching to this mouse because my Razer Orochi V2 had an issue with parasitic battery drain when the mouse was powered off. This is everything that the Orochi V2 did right, and it is also a better implementation of everything that Razer fell short on. Kailh GM8.0 mouse clicks, Huano Switches on the side buttons, TTC Gold scroll wheel, and a Pixart 3395 sensor. If I stopped here it would already have beat the Orochi. But, Fantech didnt stop there. They also gave it a wonderful long braided cable for to charge the mouse over USB-C. To top it all off they made it slightly bigger than the Orochi, and helped her shave some weight and brought her down to 59 grams. This really is the perfect Egg Shape mouse, and if you like Egg Shapes then you will be pleased with this mouse.

> 24 hourI was in the market to find a new lightweight portable mouse for primarily productivity on a laptop with a gaming pedigree. After much research this one to my surprise looks and feels really good in person! Not too big or small, just right for me and comfortable. USB-C port for charging and can be used to connect as a wired mouse. Let alone the versatility of Bluetooth 5.0 for my use during office productivity work or using the provided dongle for their 1000hz polling 2.4Ghz mode when Im down for some FPS gaming. Mouse wheel feels great and not too noisy but no left and right scrolling nor free spinning wheel mode. Not a big deal, but I wouldve also have preferred the left/right mouse switches to be a notch less clicky sounding for office use and would feel a bit more premium in my opinion. DPI adjust button should have been on top of mouse below the scroll wheel which has the space for it and not under the mouse. Still, this mouse checked all of my boxes and will keep any eye out for when and if Fantech comes out with a v2 of this mouse. Logitech has always been my go to mouse in the past but their latest mouse of similar offerings and prices did not fare well with me. I was also close to pulling the trigger on the Razer Orochi v2, but determined the smaller size, ergonomics, and no USB-C charging persuaded me to try the Aria XD7 in the end and is a keeper. I updated to firmware v1.1 immediately so did not notice any issues that had been reported on the internet so far with debouncing. Things I liked: - Perfect sized mouse for me somewhere between a small to medium sized mouse which in strikes a good balance for comfort, gaming, and portability on the go. - Quality gaming mouse switches and optical sensor - Lightweight - Clean aesthetics, size, and does not feel cheap - Adjustable DPI (Configurable in their mouse software too!) - Switchable Bluetooth, Wired, or 2.4Ghz Dongle modes - USB-C Charging - Scroll wheel feels excellent - Changeable lower half Shell of the mouse and magnetic! - Includes gaming mouse stick on grip pads, extra skates, and extra alternative lower half shell. Thank goodness Fantech included a solid lower half shell replacement as I personally do not like the Swiss cheese look just to keep a little more weight down. - Storage compartment for USB dongle Things I feel Fantech could improve: - DPI adjustment button moved to top of mouse below the scroll wheel - Mouse scroll wheel tilt for scrolling left and right - Use less clicky left and right switches to tune down the noise a slight notch for a more premium feel - Battery percentage remaining status indicator on the mouse via led Other mice used: Logitech G903 Lightspeed Logitech G502 Logitech MX518

> 24 hourI recommend this mouse whenever it become available on Amazon again. I bought mines on their website, but a big downside is that shipping May take 3-4 weeks. It’s affordable and premium so it’s worth your money. Availability(especially on Amazon) is this mouse’s biggest downside as of now.
