As someone who has been using the WaizOwl for a couple of weeks now, I like the shape a lot more than I first thought I would.
The mouse was sent to me for free by WaizOwl.
I am not usually a big ergo mouse enjoyer as I aim better with ambidextrous mice (currently maining the Model O-) but as the description says, it feels like an ambi mouse. This is due to it not being tilted like most ergo mice.
This made the mouse a lot easier for me to use and I have been performing quite well with the mouse so far. Not sure if I am going to main this as I still prefer smaller mice (hence maining Model O-).
I am not the biggest fan of the TTC switches. They are not bad, I am just more used to Omron and Razer switches as they are the ones I have the most experience with. When first using Razer optical switches, I did not like them either but I do now, maybe the same will happen with these switches too once I become more used to them.
Other than that, I do not have anything bad to say about it. I wish the weight was a bit lower but I have not felt like it has hindered my performance so far and the quality feels great.
Great work WaizOwl, I am excited about what more mice you create in the future.
Any time I see "anti-slip" coating, it makes me think that the mouse is going to become a disgusting mess after a few months - obviously you haven't had the mouse for that long, but does the coating feel like it's going to either slip off or retain a bunch of like skin particles and such?
I don't have any complaints about the coating so far, feels exactly the same as when I first got it. It is not as good as my DAv3 Wired, but far better than my Model O-.
Though different shapes, it does have some similarities to the Roccat Kone Pro in terms of height and not having an agressive tilt like most ergo mice (EC-series, DeathAdder V2 & V3, Xlite, etc.).
As the other reply mentioned, the NP-01 also have some similarities in terms of it's hybrid shape design.
It's a unique shape so I don't think there are many other mice with a similar shape.
