Endgame Gear managed to generate quite a bit of buzz with their debut mouse, the XM1. PixArt's PMW3389 sensor, a non-perforated 70 g lightweight shell, great buttons (with Omron switches for the main buttons), their own patented analog switch technology for <1 ms button response time, and full software customizability made for one impressive mouse. The Endgame Gear XM1 White combines all these assets with a new all-white color scheme and improves on the few areas the original XM1 was lacking behind. For the White Edition, a new and much improved paracord-style cable replaces the old rubber one, the side button construction has been revised, and the mouse feet are thicker. In this review, I'll be taking a close look at what has changed. Since sensor, software, and the internals haven't received any changes, I'll skip right over those parts. If you're interested in those, I'd advise you to read the corresponding sections of our review of the original XM1
