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 EVGA X20 and EVGA Torq X5L, 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 first one is younger, 3 years old, being released in the 2021, while Torq X5L is older, 10 years old, being released in the 2014. The production age difference is 7 year(s). This makes the X20 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 Torq X5L mouse, X20 is ~4.71 mm (or ~0.19 in) Longer, ~5.57 mm (or ~0.22 in) Wider and ~5.52 mm (or ~0.22 in) Higher, which makes it, overally, 15.8 mm (or 0.62 in) moderately bigger and better suiting greater hands.

Considering the weight, EVGA X20 is 25% heavier, a difference of 31.00 g (0.07 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, X20 is meant to be Right-handed while Torq X5L is Ambidextrous. They offer different grip, Palm grip, Claw grip, Fingertip grip by X20 while Torq X5L has Claw grip, Fingertip grip; the first one can be considered more adaptable, with a greater number of grip possibilities equal to 3 instead of the 2 offered by the other one.

• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️

Let's now compare EVGA X20 sensor with the one of EVGA Torq X5L. The two mice do not share the same sensor technology, that is Optical for the first one, Laser for the second one; they also have different sensor model: PMW3335 equipped by X20 and Avago ADNS-9800 used by Torq X5L. 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 X20 provides 15900 DPI/CPI, while Torq X5L offers 7800 DPI/CPI, meaning that the first one has way 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, X20 is offering 49% better Max Resolution, 7800 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, X20 shows a better value, 40 G, a small difference of 10 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, X20 shows a preferable value, 400 IPS, a great difference of 250 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.

They have a Polling Rate of 1000 Hz, in other words they report data to computer 1 time every 1.00 ms. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of X20 shows an higher value, 2 mm, a moderate difference of 0.50 mm. Anyway, they offer adjustable lift off distance through software.

Click and Shift Latencies

EVGA X20 has lower click latency than EVGA Torq X5L, a not so small difference of 1.60 ms, 11% better Click Latency, which can be evaluated slightly significant, in terms of compared performance. 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 X20 and Torq X5L 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 Switch lifespan of first mouse is 60 millions clicks while the second is 20 millions clicks, 67% better Lifespan, a difference of 40 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is the same, PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 10 offered by first mouse and 8 offered by the second one, a small difference of 2 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the features offered by EVGA X20 are On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB, while EVGA Torq X5L is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB.
