Xtrfy M42 Wireless Review

Shape & Dimensions »

Packaging


Aside from the mouse, one finds a charging cable (USB Type-A to Type-C), wireless extender, wireless dongle, additional back cover, magnetic screwdriver, sticker, quick start guide, two keycaps, and a set of replacement feet inside the box.

The back cover can be used to adjust the hump curvature:

Unlike on the M42, the back cover doesn't attach magnetically, and is screwed in with three screws at the bottom instead.

Weight


My scale shows around 67 g (+/- 1 g), which is exactly in line with the weight cited by Xtrfy. The M42 Wireless weighs 9 g more than the wired M42, which is mostly due to the added battery capacity. For comparison, the slightly smaller Glorious Model O- Wireless weighs 65 g. A very good weight from the M42.

Cable


The M42 Wireless comes with a paracord-like, braided charging cable (USB Type-A to Type-C). There is no anchor at the mouse-end of the cable, so the cable may come loose during use, although this is unlikely, given how tight it fits. In terms of flexibility, it is roughly on par with the cable of the Xtrfy MZ1, which sits in the same league as the Glorious Model O/D/O-/D- charging cable. Accordingly, the M42 Wireless can be used as if it were a wired mouse with barely if any perceivable difference in terms of handling compared to an exclusively wired mouse. Its measured length is 1.80 m.

The charging cable also functions as an extension cable, if used in conjunction with the wireless extender. The wireless extender can be used to keep the distance between dongle and mouse as short as possible. Since the mouse lacks a storage compartment for the dongle, the extender can also simply be used as something to attach the dongle to, which reduces the likelihood of the dongle being lost when traveling.

Feet


The feet on the M42 Wireless are white-dyed pure PTFE (Teflon) feet. They are of above average thickness and have slightly rounded edges. Glide is excellent. Small indents next to the feet make them easier to remove. While there is no sensor ring installed by default, one is included with the set of replacement feet in the box.
