Brief conclusions of the comparison mice

Xtrfy M42 RGB and Xtrfy M4 RGB are both wired gaming mice with the PixArt 3389 optical sensor and a maximum resolution of 16000 DPI, but they have several key differences. The M42 is lighter, weighing 59 g compared to the 69 g of the M4, making it more comfortable for extended gaming sessions. The M42 also offers the ability to change the top panel for different grip types, while the M4 has a fixed shape, designed for right-handed users. Both mice feature RGB lighting and a perforated shell, but the M4 stands out with a more aggressive design and a mesh shell, which also impacts its weight. In reviews, users note that the M42 is better suited for various grip styles, while the M4 is praised for its lightness and comfort. However, both models have limitations in programmable buttons and lack customization software.

Glossary

Weight

The total weight of the mouse. For models with a wired connection, usually, it is indicated without cable, and for devices with weight adjustment (see above) — without weights.

This parameter is important primarily for professional gaming applications, although it is often relevant for ordinary users. Theoretically, less weight promotes speed and reduces fatigue. At the same time, in fact, much depends on the personal habits and preferences of the user: a mouse that is too light may “not be felt in the hands” and not give familiar feedback. Therefore, although most mice have a lower weight limit of 60 – 80 g, however, even among professional gaming models there are much more massive devices — 120 – 140 g or more. The lightest variety of "rodents" is laptop (see "In the direction"), among them devices come across and less than 60 g.

Also note that the weight to some extent depends on the size and “tricked out” of the device, but there is no unambiguous dependence here: models similar in size and functionality can differ markedly in weight.
