armor m1  vs  logitech · razer · hyperx
final bell
three contenders. three knockouts.
won by the grams nobody else could cut.

a 46g mouse for A$60 sounds like it'd snap in half. let's talk about that.

paw 3327 optical sensor
↳ the same sensor family used in mice 3× this price.
huano 20m switches
↳ rated for 20 million clicks. that's roughly 7 years of valorant.
1000hz polling rate
↳ 1ms response. your monitor is probably the bottleneck, not the mouse.
12,000 dpi
↳ 800 to 12,000. six stages. one button to toggle.
1.8m paracord cable
↳ flexible enough to forget it's there. which is the point.

engineered reduction.

Ultralight isn't about chasing numbers. It's about removing what slows you down. The airframe restructures the base to reduce mass without weakening the shell.

What remains is strength, balance, and speed. 46 grams isn't the goal. It's the result.

Has anyone tried the Armor M1? 46g for $60 AUD seems too good to be true

Half the price of the mainstream 46g mice, ships internationally. Either it's the deal of the year or there's a catch I'm not seeing. Talk me into it (or out of it).

"46g 'without cable' is doing a lot of heavy lifting there (pun intended). And at that weight it's gotta be a honeycomb shell — those crack if you sneeze on them."

No honeycomb — solid shell. 46g is material engineering, not holes. And "without cable" is the standard spec for every mouse; the G203's 85g is measured the same way. Switches are Huano 20M, rated 20 million clicks.

"PAW 3327 in 2026? That's a 2019 sensor. Why buy this over a G203 with an actual gaming sensor? This is giving aliexpress with a logo."

The 3327 tracks flawlessly at 12,000 DPI — zero smoothing, 1000Hz native. The 3395 adds 26,000 DPI you'll never use. Unless you're top 0.1% Valorant, it's not your bottleneck. And the G203's sensor caps at 8,000 DPI — the 3327 outspecs it. We've also got 1,500+ reviews and a 30-day return policy. AliExpress has a 90-day prayer.

"Never heard of Armor. I'll stick with brands that sponsor actual esports teams thanks."

Esports sponsorship costs about A$40 per mouse you buy. We put that into making it lighter instead. Your call though.

"Bought one last month. Can confirm: 46g is real (I weighed it), sensor's fine — I'm Diamond in Val — paracord's good, shipped to Melbourne in 7 days, grip tapes are actually nice. Only gripe: stock feet could be smoother, swapped to Corepadz. 9/10, would buy again."

faq's

how do i adjust the dpi setting of the mouse?+

Press the dedicated DPI button on the mouse to cycle through preset sensitivity stages: 800 / 1600 / 2400 / 3200 / 6400 / 12000 DPI. The default DPI on startup is 1600. The LED indicator on the mouse indicates your current DPI level. Using the Armor software, you can customise which DPI stages are active and set a preferred default.

how do i adjust the polling rate of the mouse?+

The Armor mouse features a physical polling rate switch on its underside. Toggle between 125 Hz (8ms response), 500 Hz (2ms response), or 1000 Hz (1ms response, recommended). The mouse defaults to 1000 Hz. The Armor software also offers a 250 Hz option.

can i save my settings to the mouse itself?+

Yes. Settings configured via the Armor software — including DPI stages, polling rate, and button mappings — are stored in the mouse's onboard memory. This means your profile travels with the mouse. Plug it into a different PC and your settings remain intact, no software needed on that machine.

how many programmable buttons does the mouse have?+

The Armor version.M1 has 5 programmable buttons. By default: left click, right click, scroll wheel click, and two side thumb buttons. Using the Armor software, you can remap any button to macros, keyboard shortcuts, media controls, DPI toggles, and more.

what is the cable length and material?+

Armor version.M1 offers a 1.8m long paracord cable.

what are the dimensions of the mouse? what grip styles does it support?+

The Armor Wired Mouse measures 119.02mm (L) x 63.61mm (W) x 39.31mm (H). The ergonomic shape is optimised for right-handed use. With its moderate length and medium hump profile, it naturally supports:

  • Palm grip — full hand rests on the mouse; comfortable for long sessions
  • Claw grip — fingers arched; popular in competitive FPS for faster clicks
  • Fingertip grip — only fingertips contact the mouse; maximum agility

Best suited for medium to large hand sizes.

which device is the armor version.m1 compatible with?+

Armor version.M1 is compatible with all PCs and Laptops with USB-A connectivity. The Armor software for advanced features is currently Windows-compatible only.

what port does the mouse use?+

The Armor version.M1 connects via a standard USB-A port and offers plug and play functionality.

can i use this mouse for both gaming and everyday office work?+

Absolutely. The adjustable DPI (down to 800) lets you dial in a comfortable sensitivity for productivity, design, and browsing — then instantly switch to higher sensitivity for gaming using the DPI button. The ergonomic shape ensures comfort for extended use across both scenarios.

does the armor mouse require software to work?+

No. The Armor Wired Mouse is fully plug-and-play. Connect it via USB-A and it works immediately — no drivers or software installation required. However, installing the Armor software unlocks advanced features: fine-tuned DPI customisation, polling rate control, button remapping, and macro programming.

what is the warranty period of armor version.m1?+

The Armor version.M1 comes with a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. Physical damage (drops, liquid exposure, unauthorised modifications) is not covered. Refer to armor.shop/pages/warranty-policy for full details.

where is the product manufactured?+

The country of origin is China.

what is armor's return policy if i'm not satisfied?+

If the product arrives faulty or damaged, it will be replaced. Visit armor.shop/pages/return-policy for the complete guidelines, or reach out to our support team directly.
