Cooler Master MM720 vs Xtrfy M42 Wireless: Comparison
Cooler Master MM720 vs Xtrfy M42 Wireless: the weight difference
The gap that matters here is weight: Cooler Master MM720 49 g against Xtrfy M42 Wireless 59 g, which puts Cooler Master MM720 20% ahead. There is a split on sensor model as well, PixArt PMW3389 on the Cooler Master MM720 versus PAW3395, up to 26,000 DPI on the Xtrfy M42 Wireless. Connectivity is not the same on both, Wired on the Cooler Master MM720 versus Wireless on the Xtrfy M42 Wireless. They differ on switch type too, Mechanical on the Cooler Master MM720 versus Optical on the Xtrfy M42 Wireless.
Who each one is for
The Cooler Master MM720 suits FPS players who want the lowest possible wired weight and claw and fingertip grip users wanting a small symmetrical shell, though it is the wrong buy for palm grip users wanting a fuller shell and anyone who wants a wireless connection. Take the Xtrfy M42 Wireless for Xtrfy fans who want the brand's design aesthetic with a genuine step up to wireless and a higher-tier sensor. This mouse extends Xtrfy's design into the competitive wireless ultralight tier. Avoid it for buyers on the tightest possible budget. The wired Xtrfy M4 RGB, covered elsewhere on this site, offers the brand's styling at a lower price. Our rating of the Cooler Master MM720 (8/10): one of the lightest wired mice on the market, backed by a genuinely flagship sensor rather than budget internals.
Where the two are identical
Where they agree, they agree completely, polling rate, grip type and shape included, so the decision does not turn on any of those.
