Zircon X review summary

Zircon X limited series with numerous accolades!

A unique gaming mouse created on the occasion of the brand's 10th birthday is once again in the hands of the most dedicated gamers! The Genesis Zircon X 10th Anniversary is a product produced in a limited number of 1,000 pieces, each with its own unique number and a dedicated certificate of ownership. Our one-of-a-kind white rodent has been subjected to countless tests, and its functionality has delighted users, so it has already managed to win the sympathy of not only gamers, but also reviewers of numerous industry portals.

The main distinguishing feature of the unremarkable rodent is undoubtedly the use of the absolutely top optical sensor PAW3370. The aforementioned sensor is a recently launched technological innovation from the Pixart brand. Few manufacturers have managed to use PAW3370 in their rodents, so Zircon X proves to be unique in this aspect as well. As for functionality, the sensor boasts incredible precision, a six-step resolution range from 50 to as high as 19000DPI, very low LOD (1 mm) and no acceleration, interpolation or jittering. In addition, it draws much less power during use than other sensors on the market, making it an excellent choice for wireless mice. The sensor's performance appealed to many reviewers, whose opinions you can read below:

"I ran tests using the Enotus Mouse Test program to see how the mouse would handle prediction or interpolation, and I must say that it is excellent. We don't have to worry about this at all, and all credit goes to the proven and excellent Pixart PMW3370 sensor. Significantly, both in everyday use and during synthetic tests, the mouse cursor moves very smoothly, does not jump or show any irregularities. In this respect, it is one of the best rodents I have had in my hands."- ppe.pl

"The Genesis Zircon X 10th Anniversary Edition uses a Pixart optical sensor - PAW3370. [...] It features impeccable feel, responsiveness and cursor guidance. It has a low LOD (configurable), very good pad compatibility and no acceleration, interpolation or jittering. [...] It is an absolute top sensor and hard to find any weaknesses in it. Due to its low power consumption, it is a sensor designed mainly for wireless mice."- test-gear.pl

"The parameters of the Jubilee mouse should satisfy even the most picky gamers. The device is equipped with a top optical sensor PixArt PAW3370, which has sensational accuracy and works well on any surface, even glass. The mouse also has a wide, six-stage resolution range from 50 to as much as 19,000 DPI. Thanks to this, gamers can not only show off lightning-fast response, but also incredible precision when using ranged weapons."- gamerweb.pl

"The heart of the Genesis Zircon X is none other than one of the best optical sensors currently available on the market - PMW3370 made by PixArt .[...] It has been optimized especially for the highest energy efficiency, which in practice means lower current consumption (1.5 mA - PMW3370 vs 21 mA - PMW3389) and thus longer battery life. [...] However, this is not the only category in which it shines, as it trumps the PMW3389 with the lower possible LOD value in which it operates (the less, the better) and a 50% lower error rate. Therefore, it should rather surprise no one that in the synthetic tests I conducted, the Genesis Zircon X performed exemplarily."- ithardware.co.uk

The mouse can work in both wired and wireless modes. During use, the signal is steady, reliable and shows no lag. A USB-C port is located on the front, allowing for efficient connection of the cable.

The Zircon X design itself is a small and very lightweight body with interchangeable panels - perforated and solid, the use of which depends solely on the player's preference. The materials used are of high quality, and all plastic parts have been matted, making the mouse look extremely elegant. The whole is complemented by phenomenal RGB PRISMO EFFECT backlighting with a base of as many as 16 million colors. Under the removable panels there is a place for a USB receiver and a 580 mAh battery, allowing up to 80 hours of use of the mouse with the backlight off. On the bottom, there are two white sliders made of pure Teflon and a three-stage on/off switch that allows you to turn on the RGB system at the bottom of the mouse or activate only the function roller backlight. Don't forget that the Zircon X also comes with an extra pair of sliders and rubber pads to improve grip. Read how the Zircon X's design appealed to reviewers:

"All right, but what about the quality of materials and fit? - To be honest, for a wireless rodent with so many extras, great specifications and priced at just $269, it's surprisingly good. The Genesis Zircon X has proven that it's easily possible to combine all three of these strengths and create a sensible product that can be solid at the same time. During force testing, I didn't notice any audible creaking or play in the construction itself. Probably because, despite the filigree weight of 72 grams, the cast plastic walls are relatively thick."- ithardware.co.uk

"Zircon X benefits from a good quality case. [...] Everything is well-fitted, nothing creaks or bends and there is no play anywhere. The scroll is perfectly seated and does not sway from side to side. [...] After several hundred hours spent playing various types of games, we did not note any problems with the operation of any component."- test-gear.pl

"The rodent itself, as you can see in the picture, is small, but very elegant. In total, you will find 6 buttons. Two main ones, one hidden in the roller, one under it and two placed on the left side. The "hole" panel is mounted by default, but these holes play a key role. They create a special ventilation system for our hand, which prevents it from sweating, and I must admit that it really works."- ppe.pl

"Another great asset is the modernist design, which stands out from all other models. The white, pitted silhouette of the mouse with contoured buttons and matching RGB lighting with PRISMO effect - simply catches the eye."- izaktv.pl

The limited edition Zircon X is a real treat for fans of the Genesis brand. The mouse excelled in all the tests conducted, making each piece a real treasure at the gamer's desk. Excellent components, top-notch workmanship, very rich accessories and attractive price are the elements that make Zircon X a desirable mouse for gamers, which quickly disappears from the virtual shelves of our store. If you want to be its owners - you'd better quickly put it in your shopping cart. And if you are still not convinced about its uniqueness - read the following summaries of the top portals and don't hesitate any longer! ;)

"In conclusion, at the attractive price of 269 zlotys, it is difficult for me to reproach the Genesis Zircon X with anything. [...] The positives of the Zircon X are plentiful. Starting from very rich accessories (grip tape, aluminum dongle, interchangeable panels, spare sliders, transmitter), through exemplary workmanship and fit, universal shape, and ending with great components and smooth operation. Hence, with a pure heart I can confidently recommend the Genesis Zircon X 10 Anniversary Edition to anyone interested, and at the same time wish Genesis more such extremely successful products as the one I had the pleasure to test today. In summary, due to the overwhelming number of advantages, attractive price and very rich equipment, I decided to appreciate the Zircon X with a note of five stars, as well as a number of distinctions."- ithardware.pl

"Significantly, both in everyday use and during synthetic tests, the mouse cursor moves very smoothly, does not jump and does not show any irregularities. In this respect, it is one of the best rodents I have had in my hands. Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, it is impossible to complain about anything here. Everyone would have to try it, but I think the Genesis Zircon X is an excellent honor to the brand's 10 years on the market. The manufacturer has delivered an excellent and, on top of that, great-looking product that will appeal to practically every e-sports enthusiast."- ppe.pl

"Genesis Zircon X is one of the best mice I have come to use. Great switches with a declared lifespan of up to 80 million clicks, dual mode of operation (wireless and wired) and extraordinary precision, as well as technical parameters make the device extremely comfortable to use. Of course, we can't forget about the ergonomic shape and well-fitted components made of top-quality materials. Importantly, the mouse also looks good, and with its minimalist and elegant design it catches the eye and will prove useful not only on gamers' desks. In turn, the limited edition of the Genesis Zircon X 10 mouse will make it more enviable with each passing year."- gamerweb.pl

"The mouse actually has mostly just advantages. Great PAW3370 sensor, the shape mentioned at the beginning, great sliders, wireless, Kailh GM 8.0 switches and extremely well implemented scroll. [The Zircon X is without a doubt the best model in the Genesis range. [...] From our side a very strong recommendation."- test-gear.pl

"Fortunately, Genesis passed the test and the test of the Zircon X anniversary mouse I do not have to end with negative reviews. Ba, I can only end with a digital nod of appreciation that the company managed to celebrate its decade on the market with a nod, creating a product unique to itself. Zircon X to buy for £269 has virtually no flaws, as the only one I can point out is the sheer visual surroundings of the programming, which is really nothing important." -whatnext.co.uk

"Zircon X is worth recommending, and it's a shame that there are no mice of this type in Genesis' regular offer. It really stands out from the rest, not only in design, but also in comfort of use. Ultra-lightweight design, contoured buttons, the ability to change the cover - you can see that the native company follows technological trends. I know that the review is described in only superlatives, however, it's hard to complain about anything."- izaktv.pl
