It’s especially nice to see replacement feet included in the box of a mouse that’s aimed at hardcore gamers, as those users are far more likely to care about their skates degrading, so it’s definitely nice to see that Xtrfy thinks about that with all of their releases.
The MZ1 has been designed by Zy “RocketJumpNinja” Rykoa, and that man has some strong opinions on aiming. There are also very pronounced comfort grooves (something that RJN greatly appreciates in mice) and all of this leads to a mouse that’s a lot more ‘formed’ than what you usually find on small mice, as those usually tend to go for a neutral, almost eggy shape. I’m fine with that, as I don’t like super light buttons, and these are definitely good enough to spam in case you need to. Aside from the swappable shells, I don’t immediately notice any changes between this wireless version and the wired edition.In my MZ1 review, I remarked that the shell had some unpleasant creaking and flexing issues on the spot where I put my thumb, and I’m happy to report I didn’t experience those issues with the MZ1 Wireless.
We focus on creating the best lightweight gaming mice rather than cutting down on durability to reach the lowest possible weight. On the bottom you’ll find three small mouse feet (one long strip on top and two small feet at the bottom) and these are just fine. Again: not a gameplay issue, but just a touch disappointing and, depending on your tolerance, annoying.

As you may or may not know, the looks of a gaming mouse don’t influence my opinion on the product, but since this is the ‘first impressions’ section I will say that the MZ1 could definitely do with a makeover if you’re asking me.
If you play a game that stops you from using the top button as F11 (such as VALORANT), then use the Page Down firmware. Again, for my complete thoughts on the original shape you can read the shape section of my review of the previous version, since nothing has changed when it comes to the shape.
I was able to adjust a few days later but still, the scroll wheel should've been 1cm closer to the center of the mouse. The Xtrfy MZ1 Wireless uses the 3370 sensor instead of the 3389 that was found in the wired version. So I decided to test some theories of what would make the best mouse: thin grip width, low button height, high back, subtle curvature on the sides, comfort grooves in the buttons and more. And when you're done adjusting your settings, the top button can be set to "F11", so you can bind it to whatever you want in-game. The switches should be placed directly below the contact points of the index finger and middle finger.
If you’re looking for a small wireless mouse that isn’t some variation on ye olde ‘egg mouse’ design with a very neutral shape and sides then you can always take a look at this one. The MZ1 Wireless is a very unique mouse with a very unique shape that’s made much more accessible thanks to the inclusion of a more neutral back shell. The crisp illumination of Xtrfy’s mice is even more impactful with the transparent shell of the MZ1. I am of course aware of RocketJumpNinja’s (I will abbreviate that as RJN in this review at some points) ‘performance over aesthetics’ ideas, so if these holes shave even 1 gram off of the weight they already have their reason to exist if you look at the mouse in that context, but then why does it have RGB?
It performs without any hiccups and doesn’t spin out, and Xtrfy’s wireless performance has been shown to be perfectly reliable in the past as well. Still, if Xtrfy ever moves to solid shells I’d like to see a change in the coating because this gloss/matte hybrid isn’t something that I personally like. By choosing between different versions of the firmware, you can also decide if you want the top button to function as F11 or Page Down (for keybinding in-game).
Great Deal
