Graphical Vs Comparison

Wow! The Monkeys 🐒 learnt to make Graphs!

Graphs Description The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).

Final Vs Words

Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.

This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between Gigabyte M6980X and Finalmouse Ultralight Pro, and in selecting the mouse that is performing better and best suits your needs. We are aware that every user has own needs and preferences, due to this each mouse could be better for some features and worse for other ones. The purpose of the text is to highlight this possibility and generate an "overall score" for a purchase decision.

First of all, both mice share the same utilization aim, Gaming mouse. The M6980X is older, 11 years old, being released in the 2013, while the other one is younger, 6 years old, being released in the 2018. The production age difference is 5 year(s). This makes the Ultralight Pro kind of more attractive in terms of freshness.

• Dimensions, Weight, Ergonomy 📐⚖️🫳

When it comes to evaluate mice dimensions, you should take into consideration the size of your hand and check if it would properly fit it or not. In this case, you should check which mice would be the fittest. Compared to Ultralight Pro mouse, M6980X is ~2.50 mm (or ~0.10 in) Longer, ~11.60 mm (or ~0.46 in) Wider and ~2.80 mm (or ~0.11 in) Higher, which makes it, overally, 16.9 mm (or 0.67 in) moderately bigger and better suiting greater hands.

Considering the weight, Gigabyte M6980X is 37% heavier, a difference of 39.00 g (0.09 lbs), which can be considered quite significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. Anyway, both mice does not offer weight personalization .

Regarding the Ergonomy, M6980X is meant to be Right-handed while Ultralight Pro is Ambidextrous. They offer different grip, Palm grip by M6980X while Ultralight Pro has Palm grip, Claw grip, Fingertip grip; this last one can be considered more adaptable, with a number of grip possibilities equal to 3 instead of the 1 offered by the other one.

• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️

Let's now compare Gigabyte M6980X sensor with the one of Finalmouse Ultralight Pro. The two mice do not share the same sensor technology, that is Laser for the first one, Optical for the second one; they also have different sensor model: ADNS9500 equipped by M6980X and PMW3360 used by Ultralight Pro. It is very important to say that, although tech and model sometimes coincide, the assembly and composition of interior circuits might result in different specs and latencies.

Resolution, Max Acceleration and Max Tracking, Polling Rate and Lift Off
The mice offer different resolution range (DPImax - DPImin), the M6980X provides 4800 DPI/CPI, while Ultralight Pro offers 2800 DPI/CPI, meaning that the first one has larger range. Consider picking up the sensitivity range that mostly suits your needs, depending on the aim (Gaming/Business) but also the kind of game you are going to use it mostly (e.g. FPS is different than RTS or MOBA). If you need a higher precision mouse, meaning that for the same length of shift the mouse will recognize more movement, "reading" more dots per inch and, in other words, will move faster on the screen, M6980X is offering 43% better Max Resolution, 2400 More DPI/CPI.

As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, Ultralight Pro shows a better value, 50 G, a moderate difference of 20 G. Going on, taking into account the Maximum Tracking Speed, the velocity (inches per second) that the mouse can move at before it starts to loose track and cause anomalies, Ultralight Pro shows a preferable value, 250 IPS, a moderate difference of 100 IPS. Take into account that max G and max IPS mostly affect activities requiring very fast mouse shift, together with the shift latency that we will analyse further in this section.

M6980X has a Polling Rate of 1000 Hz, in other words it reports data to computer 1 time every 1.00 ms, while Ultralight Pro is characterized by 500 Hz or an input every 2.00 ms, making this last one having 50% worse Polling Rate. Anyway, they do not offer adjustable lift off distance through software.

Click and Shift Latencies

At the moment there is no available data to compare the mice click latency, since the data of M6980X is missing. We apologize for the inconvenience, you can request priority data update through the contact page. However, Ultralight Pro has a click latency of 6.7 ms which can be considered quite decent, compared to a medium quality mouse. Anyway, we feel it is important to underline that the differences in latencies are often more perceptible from the machine's point of view rather than human's, reducing the real impact of these values and deviations. At the moment there is no available data to compare M6980X and Ultralight Pro shift latency. Contact us to request priority data update.

• Other Features 📎

Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with the same Switch Technology, Omron; moreover, the lifespan of first mouse is 5 millions clicks while the second is 200 millions clicks, 75% worse Lifespan, a difference of 15 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is the same, PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 7 offered by first mouse and 6 offered by the second one, a small difference of 1 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, Finalmouse Ultralight Pro is not offering features such as On Board Memory, Adjustable Scrool Wheel or Silent Click (etc.), while Gigabyte M6980X is giving DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting.
