Are the KPM and KPOE exactly the same shell? Also are there hyperglides that fit the KPOE well? I had a KPM that I tried for a while then sold, I can't remember why I didn't keep it. I'm thinking of giving the KPOE a try since lately I've been feeling like a slightly smaller and lighter g400s/mx518 style shape would be great for me.

Just got my hand onto the white i-cafe edition (the one with 3325). Just because why not.

Comparing the coating to the old one (black KPOE) - the new one feels more grainy. Though, this could be due to wear, as touching the coating on the front of the KPOE (the least worn part) provides somewhat similar feeling to the new one.

And in case if anyone's wondering - you couldn't do nearly as much with its software. It only provides RGB settings (color pulse, RGB, off), polling rate settings (up to 1kHz) and DPI setting for 5 steps (100 to 5000, in increments of 100). Thus, no macros or profiles, and not even button mapping feature is provided. Luckily, all provided settings are stored onboard (incl. 5 DPI steps).

The wheel somewhat rattles (not as much as on KPOE, though). No feet shape change obviously, so those who had friction/balance issues would still suffer. The side buttons feel just as crappy as on KPOE, and the right click issue (shell problem) is still there. You could fix all that, but I'd prefer seeing this fixed right out of the box. Considering this, the provided features and the sensor class, the price of over 50 bucks looks like an overkill for this mouse to me.

I bought this mouse in May 2017 after a few years of constantly trying different mice. It's still working great and I quit looking for new mice..... However being a mouse addict and now 17 months later.... I'm curious. Has anything surpassed in in tracking ability for FPS? I'm only interested in mice approximately the same size.

There aren't many other good alternatives around the same size or smaller.
FK2/divina S2/(za13?) are slightly larger, all logitech mice are larger or has garbage shapes, dm3 mini isn't sold anymore, iomini fkmini2 has angle snapping and broken software, g100s/mico or other older mice are still outdated. Could always shell out for the nkey g007 or try to mod in a new 3360/66/etc pcb into an older shell however.

Why not the warranty? Most peripheral manufacturers do warranty by S/N now. It'd be worth a shot contacting them to see.
