What Mouse Does deko Use?

deko's mouse history

deko's history runs from September 2022 to now. It covers 16 periods, 15 switches and 14 different models.

The first mouse, the VAXEE ZYGEN NP-01, lasted about 12 days. The shortest stint overall was the WLMouse Sword X at about 6 days, in January 2025.

Two models were picked up again after a break. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight Magenta was used in two periods, 4.8 months in total, and he returned to it once. The Endgame Gear OP1 8k Purple also had two periods, 9.9 months in total, and he returned to it once.

The longest single period is the Endgame Gear OP1 8k Purple, 8.2 months from July 2025 to March 2026.

Since May 2025 every mouse has come from Endgame Gear: the OP1w 4K Black, OP1 8k Purple, OP1w 4k v2 Dark Frost, OP1 8k White and now the OP1w 4k v2 Black. The current mouse has been in use for 4.1 months.

Mousepad

deko currently uses the SteelSeries QcK Performance Balance, in use since June 2026. It is a cloth pad with stitched edges, and the 49 × 42 cm surface leaves plenty of room to move a mouse.

It follows the QcK Performance Control (April 2026 to June 2026) and a short return to the QcK Heavy Black. His longest pad period was the Artisan Type-99 Soft Black, 10.3 months, ending in March 2026.

Mouse settings

In CS2 the sensitivity works out to 43.3 cm/360. A full turn takes about 43 cm of mouse travel.

The mouse is set to 2000 Hz. The OP1w 4k v2 supports polling up to 4000 Hz, so the setting sits below the maximum. The DPI is 800, well inside the 50–26000 range.

Should you buy deko's mouse?

The OP1w 4k v2 Black is available to buy. It is an ambidextrous wireless mouse at 58.5 g, 11.8 cm long, 6.0 cm wide and 3.7 cm tall. It uses the PMW 3395 sensor and Kailh GX switches with 76 g button force, and polls up to 4000 Hz.

The symmetrical shape suits anyone who wants a neutral, evenly shaped mouse. The weight is the main number to weigh against the alternatives below.

• Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE Lunar Eclipse: 2.5 g heavier, 0.2 cm wider and 0.2 cm taller, at the same length. It uses the HERO 2 sensor and Logitech HITS switches and polls up to 8000 Hz. 15 pros use it now.
• Endgame Gear OP1 8k V2 Black: 9.5 g lighter, with the same length, width and height. It is wired, with the PAW3950 sensor and 8000 Hz polling. One pro uses it now.
• VAXEE NP-01S V3 Deep Purple: 1.5 g lighter and 0.3 cm narrower, at the same length and height. It is wireless, with the Core1 sensor, Huano switches and 8000 Hz polling. One pro uses it now.

The OP1 8k V2 Black is the pick if lower weight matters more than a cable-free setup. The SUPERSTRIKE is the pick if a slightly larger body and 8000 Hz polling matter.
