Endorfy LIV Plus Wireless Onyx White
4. Conclusion
The Liv Plus Wireless Onyx White is a new addition to the already big lineup of mice from Endorfy. The design of the mouse is not typical, meaning its open design allows the air to circulate into and ultimately cool down your hand and remove sweat for those long gaming sessions. The mouse has the typical gaming design and will fit in most middle-size hands and the low weight of 69gr is welcomed. The PixArt 3395 optical sensor is among the best and via the Endorfy software, you can boost its DPI up to 26.000 which is nice to have, even though most users will settle with much lower DPI settings.
The two main mouse buttons house Kailh GM 8.0 microswitches behind them and are smooth have an audible click midway down and feel similar to a linear mechanical keyboard switch, like Cherry MX Red. Some users may like it, others may dont. Also with that bouncy feeling for competitive gaming, click may not register as fast as someone would expect, perhaps using Kailh GM 4.0 would be a better idea, again this is a personal taste, others may find the Kailh GM 8.0 just perfect. The estimated 80 million clicks are good to hear, and since the mouse has 2 years warranty you can be assured of its durability. The scrolling wheel is made out of plastic has a texture pattern, and also includes an LED. Nothing fancy like other mice (metal) but works ok.
The build quality of the Liv Plus Wireless Onyx White is very good, the surface has a nice touch, the build material is ABS and the open design may need some time for hands to get used to. Endorfy at the retail package offers free "addons" to stick to the external shell and provide further grip in case you need it, after all, it's free to try.
The included base offers housing for the 2.4G USB dongle and the advertised wireless charging. Magnets keep the mouse secure with the base and there will be no problem with this function. The mouse does have plenty of ARGB lighting either at the wireless base or at the back of the mouse. Users can set with the included software the ARGB lighting of both the base and the mouse and sync them of course, Too bad you cannot sync with the main PC system ARGB.
The provided free software is plain to use, and nothing fancy, changing the functions of each button works just fine and you can also set macros in case you need them. Too bad only the Windows version (at the writing of this article) is provided, so MAC/Linux users cannot set much of the mice properties.
Overall we find the proposal of the Endorfy LIV Plus Wireless Onyx White a solid one, It ticks most of the boxes an advanced user would want, top of a line optical sensor, a great retail package, support for 3 connection modes, wireless charging station, ARGB and great build quality with low weight. The retail price of the mouse is around 90 Euro, which is a good deal compared with other proposals from other vendors with similar weight and features.
