ENDGAME GEAR XM1 Lizard Skins DSP マウスグリップ 対応マウス製品 XM2 8K

This article covers ENDGAME GEAR XM1 Lizard Skins DSP マウスグリップ 対応マウス製品 XM2 8K in detail: which mice it fits, how to apply it, and who should skip it.

Overview

The ENDGAME GEAR XM1 Lizard Skins DSP mouse grip is a precision-cut grip tape made exclusively for the XM series. The short answer: it is worth buying only if you already own an XM2 8K, XM2we, XM1r, XM1 RGB, or XM1 Black and find the stock shell slippery under sweat or finger oil.

For anyone else, it either will not fit or solves a problem you do not have.

The material is Lizard Skins DSP (Durability Surface Pattern). Lizard Skins is best known for bar tape and bat grips, where traction has to survive sweat, and that same surface treatment is die-cut here to match the sides and main buttons of the XM shell.

Pricing captured on 2026-07-05 was ￥1,754 on Amazon, and ￥1,737 as captured on 2026-08-26. Both are capture-time figures and may have changed since.

Amazon.co.jp reviews stood at 19 ratings, 3.8 out of 5 stars (76%) as captured on 2026-07-05 — a small sample worth reading rather than averaging.

Compatibility Guide

The cut is XM-series specific. The five supported models are:

The manufacturer's compatibility note is explicit: XM1 series only, not compatible with other mice. The practical consequence is that other ENDGAME GEAR lines with different shells do not work — a near-miss shape leaves a few millimetres of overhang along the side, and that overhang becomes the first place the tape peels.

Thickness matters more than people expect. Grip tape adds roughly half a millimetre per side, so the effective width of the shell grows slightly.

Claw and fingertip users, whose finger placement is most sensitive, notice this first. The XM shell has shallow side contours to begin with, so the tape pushes it toward feeling a little wider — a real trade-off if you have smaller hands.

Side buttons and the scroll wheel are not obstructed, since the cut is model-specific. On the wireless XM2we, avoid wrapping the side pieces too far under the shell, where switch and sensor openings sit.

The grip does not touch the mouse feet at all, so you can change skates independently.

Product Info

The published specifications are three: compatible mice (XM2 8K, XM2we, XM1r, XM1 RGB, XM1 Black), material (Lizard Skins DSP), and colour (black only). There is no colour choice, so expect the look of a white or coloured shell to change.

On price: ￥1,754 captured 2026-07-05 and ￥1,737 captured 2026-08-26. A 17-yen gap across roughly two months suggests this is not a volatile item, but both are capture-time values — check the listing for the current price, and note that eBay shows no fixed listing price, only whatever sellers currently offer.

With only 19 reviews at a 3.8 average, one or two poor ratings move the number noticeably.

Verifying that your mouse is on the compatibility list is a better use of your attention than the score itself.

Installation Tips

The process is simple, but the result is decided by preparation.

1. Degrease the sides and buttons with isopropyl alcohol or a lens cloth.

Residual finger oil lifts the edges within days. 2.

Dry-fit before peeling the backing. Aligning to the front edge of the button section is the easiest reference.

3. Press down from one end, pushing air out as you go.

Do not lay the whole piece at once. 4.

Leave it several hours before gripping hard, so the adhesive settles.

You can reposition immediately after application, but adhesion drops with every re-peel. Do not plan on more than one correction.

Alternatives Compared

There are three routes: generic sheet tape you cut yourself, model-specific pre-cut tape (this product), and grippier shells or gloves. Pre-cut wins on clean edges around buttons and a near-stock look; it loses on cost per sheet and on being useless if you change mice.

Generic sheets are cheaper and go further, but the XM side profile is a continuous curve, and hand-cut edges tend to ripple along it. If you enjoy fiddly work, go generic; if you want certainty, pay for the pre-cut.

Gloves or wristbands address sweat itself rather than traction. Grip tape reduces slip; it does not stop perspiration.

Heavy sweaters often end up needing both.

Best Use Cases

• Owners of the XM2 8K, XM2we, XM1r, XM1 RGB, or XM1 Black. Model match is the single decisive condition.
• Players whose aim slips from hand sweat. DSP keeps traction when damp, so if you are re-gripping mid-fight in an FPS, this is the cheapest fix.
• Anyone protecting the shell finish. The sides and buttons wear first; covering them preserves resale condition.
• Anyone wanting a feel change under ¥2,000 (capture-time price, subject to change) before replacing the mouse itself.

Notes Before Buying

The biggest pitfall is misreading the model. XM1, XM1r, XM1 RGB, XM2we and XM2 8K are confusingly similar strings, and ENDGAME GEAR sells other lines besides.

Check the model printed on the underside of your mouse before ordering.

You trade feel for grip. The shell gets marginally wider and the surface goes from smooth to textured.

If you like the stock coating, this is a downgrade, not an upgrade.

Treat application as a one-shot job. The adhesive is strong, which is good for staying put and bad for repeated repositioning; a weakened edge lifts mid-game.

It is a consumable. Texture wears down with sweat and friction over months of use, so budget for periodic replacement rather than treating it as a one-time purchase.

No official lifespan figure is published, so treat this as a rough expectation that depends on your usage.

Amazon listing data is occasionally inconsistent. Manufacturer and seller details on this page match the product, but grip accessories are a category where third-party copies and originals appear side by side and listing metadata can be wrong.

Confirm the product images and compatibility list match your mouse before ordering, and trust the on-page price over any figure quoted here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Does the same grip fit both the XM2 8K and XM2we? A.

Yes. The listed compatibility covers XM2 8K, XM2we, XM1r, XM1 RGB, and XM1 Black.

Q. Can I use it on another brand or another ENDGAME GEAR line? A.

No. The compatibility note states it is not compatible with other mice; a near-fit shape leads to overhang and peeling.

Q. Will it block the side buttons or wheel? A.

Not when placed correctly — the cut is model-specific. Dry-fit before peeling the backing to avoid overlapping button edges.

Q. Will it leave residue when removed? A.

Grip tapes of this type generally use low-residue adhesive, but long-term application can leave some. Isopropyl alcohol and a gentle wipe is the usual remedy; check the product page if this concerns you.

Q. Why is the review score not higher? A.

19 ratings at 3.8 out of 5 as captured on 2026-07-05.

With a sample that small, one or two low scores swing the average, and in this category they usually come from unchecked model compatibility or a texture that did not suit the buyer.

Q. Does it change weight or balance?
A. Not noticeably — the tape is very light. What changes is grip feel and effective width.
