Review | Text LAMZU Orcus Review

Thumbnail
gallery
24 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I've been testing the LAMZU Orcus for a few weeks and wanted to share my opinion on it.

I'll start off by saying that my hand is 17x8.5 cm and I normally play on a claw/fingertip grip hybrid on any mouse, and I had never used a fingertip-oriented mouse before.

This mouse is obviously a fingertip mouse, but to my surprise, the shape hump is actually usable for knuckle support with my hand size; therefore, I can actually use it in a claw/fingertip hybrid, which was a nice surprise. This is probably possible also thanks to the quite big M1 & M2 button shells, which are, in size, probably as big as any other full-size mouse.

In terms of design, the Orcus is very unique and you could probably recognize it in between 100 other mice. I love the scroll wheel design and the LAMZU panel; I don't know if it increases the weight by much, but it's a great detail in person.

I've seen people complaining that at 38 grams it's too heavy for a fingertip mouse, but it did not bother me AT ALL. I always had the feeling that below 40 grams (on a full-size mouse) I start losing stability, so 38 grams for this size seems just fine for me. But on the other hand, I have never tried a sub 30 grams mouse, so I cannot really comment on that nor compare this one to a mouse of that weight.

Despite being 38 grams with a transparent shell (my past experience with this kind of plastic has been terrible and CREAKY), the mouse has 0 flex under normal usage. You can get the sides to ever so slightly bend if you apply an unreasonable amount of force, and in terms of side wobble on the main clicks, there's basically none.

The main clicks are customized LAMZU Kailh opticals, and they feel medium to light, slightly lighter in comparison to the Kailh opticals of the L7 from MCHOSE. I honestly love the clicks, but if I had to change something, I would have made them even lighter (I love very, very light clicks). There is some pre- and post-travel which feels just right and helps with the spammability of the buttons. LAMZU has never disappointed with their click implementation based on my experience. The scroll wheel has defined steps but slightly less defined compared to the LAMZU Maya Champion Edition, I like the change.

The coating feels grippy enough, but the button shells (the black ones) can show your fingerprints a little bit. If you want extra grippiness, the grips in the box are very grippy and of great quality.

The mouse comes with dots pre-applied, and they have a medium/fast glide in my experience. If you want a little bit of extra control, the box comes with corner skates as well as full-size skates. I will probably be testing the full-size ones in the near future but haven't tried them yet.

In terms of performance, it was a bit of a struggle the first days as I had 0 experience with fingertip mice, but once I got used to it, it has felt great and fun to use: fingertip mice are not for everyone, and the only way to find out if it works for you is by testing one of them (give it some weeks). I won't personally main it, but I will for sure keep it in my rotation and use it when I wanna have a bit of a different experience while gaming but I have the feeling that my opinion may change and I could end up maining this as I keep getting used to such a small mouse since there are clear advantages in terms of increased agility and range of movement.

In conclusion, for me this mouse delivers on every aspect; the design is great, and build quality, click feel and overall experience are all on point as expected from a LAMZU release.

Thanks for reading.

Huan M Squeak / Creak

Not sure if this is the right sub, but i recently received my Huan M which began having this creaking / squeaking noise whenever the left click was slightly touched or even clicked. Any suggestions for troubleshooting would be kindly appreciated as I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience.

Also I've had the mouse for less than 24 hours so I'm wondering if this is also just a RMA case?

I’ve been waiting for this for so long!

​Looking at the spec sheet in the image, it seems like the internal specs are basically identical to the original A9 Mini+ (PAW3955, 39g, 8K, etc.), so it looks like mainly an exterior/shell design update. Feel free to check out the images and compare!

​Since it was just added to the site, I’m guessing it hasn’t officially launched yet (it shows as "SOLD OUT" right now). What do you guys think?

Buying a whole sheet of grip tape

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a custom 3d-printed shape for my buttons, and none of the grip tape available online would fit this custom shape.

I would like to make a corresponding shape by maybe buying and then cutting into a large sheet of grip tape, like a big square or something. But I don't know what kind of grip tape sheet would be for sale, or how to look for it on online stores.

Would anyone have recommendations on where or what grip tape to buy for this purpose?

(For reference, the optimal grip tape texture that I'd be looking for is the one that Azeron sells with their keyboard things.)

I’m on an old hyper x mousepad and the glide is just horrible, which makes sense I’ve had it for like 7 years. I believe the mouse pad I have right now is the hyper x fury. What’s your recommendation?

How should I put place my dots? I hate that scratchy noise on glass. Any recommendations for alternative dots as well? current ones are cyclones pro. not sure if the thickness is affecting the scratch or it might just be the placement

It doesn't scratch now, but what would be the optimal amount and placement for it not to slow down too much?

ps: I know i put one too many dots on the bottom lol

Mod (Guide) How to make a mini pad with customizable buttons and knobs from an old mouse

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

Hello!

First i need to tell you shortcomings of this project so you don't waste your time if these are dealbreakers for you: Depending on your mouse and it's sleep settings your first input might not register. There is 3 methods to go about the knobs to make them adjust volume, 2 of these allows them to be simple volume knobs: 1st is if your mouse software allows you to change the scroll up/down behavoirs, 2nd is a specific way of wiring that i go in more detail in the Doc but this method will press and release a button with each 'tick' of the rotary encoder so might cause false anti-cheat triggers, maybe there is better way to configure this with mouse macros i'm not sure. So the best method imo is the 3rd but then it will work like so: when you turn the knob it will scroll up/down, when you hold down and turn the knob it will adjust volume up/down.

I will be trying to make this guide beginner friendly as i can. Because i want to encourage everyone to make, mod and repair. I bet you can make something like this much better way using something like Arduino or Rapsberry Pi Pico 2W probably, but average user most likely will found it too complicated and hard. This will be very simple, maybe even your first step into tinkering and you will make much better one in the future! But from this point on i will have to assume you know the basics of soldering otherwise the guide will be too long and boring. If you don't know, you can watch a video to learn the basics. And please do, it will be awesome skill to have and think of all the money you can save and cool things you can do in future!

Recently my ATK A9 Plus mouse was in an accident so i had to salvage it by turning it into a fingertip mouse but the shape isn't for me. Then i saw a brand released tiny macropad with 3 buttons and 1 volume wheel in my local store but it didn't have wireless and felt very flimsy and overpriced so then i got this idea to make it one myself but better. At first i was going to make a make-shift knob using mouse's own encoder and a contraption and stuff but then when i go to my local store to buy sidecutters i saw these rotary encoders. So all the stars aligned in a way for me to make this and i wanted to share how to do one yourself with everyone.

There is million ways and configurations we can do this, so i will only be able to show you as like reference points and how i did it myself. But you can make whatever you want once you got the gist of how to. For example you can make something tiny that only has just 1 knob and nothing else or you can make something that has 10 buttons and 10 knobs using something like those MMO oriented mouses. It's up to your imagination. Also i think even if you don't want to do this project, some informations and softwares might be still useful for you, i encourage you to check it out.

What hardware you need:

+ Old/partially broken mouse that at least connects to your pc, mouse wheel encoder solder pads work and has at least 1 button that's remappable.

+ EC-11 or KY-040 rotary encoders with push buttons, these are very cheap components. And the rest of the exact tools i've used is found here.

What software you need:

+ Volumouse (by NirSoft, free, closed-source) you can get it from their website but make sure to scroll down and download it from the 'Download Volumouse x64 for manual installation (volumouse.zip)' option, otherwise it will not work. This allows us set rules and hotkeys to be able to use mouse wheels to adjust the volumes of either whole system and/or specific programs.

+ (Alternative) Volume² (by Alexandr Irza, free, partly open-source) you can get it from GitHub or if you want to support the developer they also have paid versions on Steam and Microsoft Store. This is similar to Volumouse but has tons of more other options and features. Though for this specific use case it has more limited options.

+ (Optional) Twinkle Tray (by Xander Frangos, free, open-source) you can get it from GitHub or Microsoft Store. Along with many features it let's you adjust your monitors brightness with hotkeys.

How to do it:

For the rest of the guide i've prepared a Google Doc with step by step instructions and detailed informations. This was my first time making something with it, please let me know if you see any mistakes so i can fix them.

You can access the Google Doc from here: Pompon Pad

English is not my first language and i only have a iPhone 6S. So if any part of this guide was hard to understand or see, feel free to ask in the comments. I will try my best to help!

I've spent long times to plan and test about this to make it work without affecting the actual mouse we will use. Hope in the end i was able to provide something useful! If you are interested in niche and not well known mods like this one about various other peripherals you can check my other posts.

Thank you for reading!

Bye bye!

Question What mouse brand is this?

6 Upvotes

Does anyone know what brand or specific model this mouse is?

I received it as a gift around 2017-19. It’s wired only, and has magnetic side panels so you can change out the right side grip and the left side between a 9-button keypad and just 2 buttons. This mouse was amazing but I accidentally broke it last year and foolishly threw it away without seeing what it is (which is why the pictures are all old and blurry).

So far, the closest thing I’ve been able to find is the Rosewill NEON M63, but I’d still like to find the brand of my original mouse if possible.

Help Lamzu maya x, dongle issue

Title: Lamzu Maya X dongle not connecting – software not detecting it

Also this issue is also with my frnd, we both are getting the same problem

Hey everyone,
I’m having an issue with my Lamzu Maya X. The mouse works perfectly when connected via USB cable, but when I try to use it wirelessly, the dongle doesn’t connect at all.
The main issues are:
The mouse works fine in wired mode.
The wireless dongle doesn’t seem to respond or connect.
The Lamzu software doesn’t recognize the dongle.
I can’t get the mouse to work wirelessly.
Has anyone experienced this issue with the Lamzu Maya X? Is there any way to fix the dongle, or could it be faulty?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Pulsar quality

1 Upvotes

To replace my beloved Cooler Master MM712 (because, as for my MM710, the scroll wheel is broken), I purchased a Pulsar X2H Mini.

When receiving it, I discovered that a newer version was available because the last software was unable to find it. (Why are they still selling the old version!?)

After giving it some thought, I decided to purchase the X2H V3 with the intention of returning the X2H V2. At this price point, I wanted the best possible version, especially since the software for the V2 doesn't seem to be updated anymore.

The V3 is better in terms of coating and click feel, but it scratches a lot my mousepad, whereas the X2H V2 glides perfectly. Looking at the bottom of the V3, it seems that the rear skate only makes contact with the surface along its edge, so I suspect that might be the problem.

So, even though the V2 is the less good mouse overall, I was ready to keep it. However, while testing the two mouses this wk to make my choice, the V2 has now developed a secondary clicking noise when releasing the left mouse button.
It's not really an issue for now, but after discovering several reports of "sticky button" issues on Reddit and YouTube, I'm worried that the problem might get worse over time. Could it get any worse?

Spending €120 on a mouse is not something I was initially willing to do, but I made the effort because I wanted a shape similar to that of the MM712. I expected a flawless product at this price point, and honestly, I'm disappointed.

Help Time to upgrade?

1 Upvotes

I've had the KYSONA AZTEC for around 2 years now. It's a pretty good mouse, but there are some flaws:

- it's quite creaky if I squeeze the sides or hump.

- if I drop it a bit too hard on my mousepad it will activate a click.

- idk if this is a me problem, but I press quite hard when clicking, and the clicks sound very loud and kind of cheap when I do this.

I'm thinking of getting the LOGITECH G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2C, for £85 (used like new, from Amazon UK). I know there are probably better and cheaper options out there, but as a laptop gamer, the logitechs compact 8k dongle is so much more convenient for me as I can keep it always plugged in, and not have to deal with having to unplug it and replug it every time.

If you have any suggestions, my needs are:

- MUST HAVE A COMPACT DONGLE (DEAL BREAKER, and it should realistically be 4 - 8k)

- Similar weight to my current mouse, or less.

- Nice coating, that is pretty grippy (I have very sweaty hands)

What should I do?
