· The G-Wolves Lycan features a unique design and ultra-lightweight that sets it apart from conventional mice.
· G-Wolves has introduced a variety of innovative mice, starting with the HTS Ace, followed by the honeycomb-shelled HTS Ultra, VO, and HTM Plus.
· Unlike its predecessors, the Lycan adopts a solid shell design, achieving an astonishing weight of approximately 30g with tape attached and around 29.5g without. This surpasses the limitations of existing mice.

· The G-Wolves Lycan comes in a box adorned with unique artwork and includes a portable carrying case.
· Included accessories consist of the mouse itself, a flexible cable, a strap, replacement battery adhesive patches, two sets of tape for the bottom PCB cover, anti-skid pads for around the sensor, and three sizes of replacement skates (dot and full-size).
· Notably, the tape for the bottom PCB cover prevents battery adhesive from being exposed, and the extra skates around the sensor are a unique design to prevent the mouse sensor from directly contacting the pad.

· The G-Wolves Lycan utilizes Hano SPDT switches, offering extremely low click latency and a crisp, spam-friendly click feel.
· The click feel is similar to previous models but slightly lighter, with minimal left-right wobble and appropriate pre-travel and post-travel.
· The side buttons are also very crisp and responsive, with a slight trailing travel that doesn't hinder gameplay.
· However, due to the unique shell design, the thumb might touch the rear of the side buttons, but this wasn't a significant issue during actual use.

· The bottom of the mouse may expose battery adhesive, which can be covered with the provided tape.
· Around the sensor, there are unique skate attachments to prevent the mouse from directly contacting the pad.
· The included dot skates are quite fast and performed well on both glass and cloth mousepads.
· Even when switching to full-size skates, the fast sliding is maintained, and the bottom doesn't feel like it's scraping the pad even with strong pressure applied to the mouse.

· Despite its ultra-lightweight design, the G-Wolves Lycan boasts very solid build quality.
· Thanks to the solid shell design and internal PCB reinforcement, there is virtually no shell flex or creaking from the sides or top.
· The scroll wheel is made of rubber and offers a different texture compared to the previous model's nut-shaped scroll wheel.
· The tactile feedback of each scroll wheel step is slightly more defined, and while the initial click pressure is a bit higher, it's generally good for spamming.

· The G-Wolves Lycan's shape is similar to the Ninjutso Sora, but it's slightly shorter, lower in height, and wider.
· Compared to the Sora V3, the Lycan has a lower front height and the shell tapers less.
· When compared to the Pulsar X2 Mini, the Lycan is similar in overall size, but the rear of the shell is more bulbous and tapers more distinctly.
· It has a distinctly different shape from the Endgame Gear OP1, which is much narrower and tapers more aggressively.
· The Lycan is also suitable for fingertip grips and can be adapted reasonably well to various grip styles.

· The G-Wolves Lycan demonstrates excellent performance, and we particularly noticed smoother movement compared to other high-spec mice.
· It provides stable performance without wireless interference or connection drops.
· Battery life is also satisfactory; with an initial battery level of 67%, it lasted for 4 days of casual use without needing a charge.
· Despite its small battery capacity, it offers sufficient usage time considering its weight.

· The biggest advantage of the G-Wolves Lycan is its ultra-lightweight of under 30g.
· The unique bottom design contributes to reducing the mouse's weight and minimizes unnecessary contact with the mousepad during control.
· The solid shell design ensures excellent durability despite its lightness.
· Overall, G-Wolves has successfully combined innovative design with lightweight construction.

· The only drawback of the G-Wolves Lycan is that when the LOD (Lift-Off Distance) is set to the minimum, tracking may not occur for the first 0.5 seconds when lifting and placing the mouse on certain mousepads.
· This issue is resolved by setting the LOD to medium or high, and it may not be a significant problem for most users.
· It generally works perfectly at a 1mm LOD (medium setting).

· The official price of the G-Wolves Lycan is $130, but it can be purchased for $120 using a discount code.
· This is a competitive price compared to other premium mice from brands like Lamzu Maya, Razer, and Logitech.
· Considering that previous G-Wolves models were released at $150-$160, the Lycan is considered a great value product with excellent performance and innovative design.
· The release of various colorways, such as transparent versions, is anticipated in the future.

· The G-Wolves software features a one-page interface allowing DPI settings, independent XY axis configuration, and click latency adjustment (0ms).
· It demonstrates stable performance without double-clicking or slam-clicking issues.
· Actual weight measurements confirmed its ultra-lightweight nature, ranging from approximately 29.8g to 30g depending on the configuration.
· Key measurements are as follows:

Item	Value
Min Taper Width	56.1 mm
Rear Flare Width	62.9 mm
Front Grip Width	59.6 mm
Wheel Height	Approx. 37 mm

· Contrary to initial concerns, the G-Wolves Lycan is an excellent mouse with superb build quality, stable performance, and an innovative design.
· It will be the best choice, especially for users who prefer a claw grip shape similar to the Sora.
· Aside from the minor LOD setting issue, it provides a satisfying experience in almost every aspect.
· It is highly recommended for FPS gamers and is one of the best ultra-lightweight mice currently on the market.
