G-Wolves HTM Plus Review
*Please note that I received this mouse as a test unit, but that doesn't change my opinion on the review.
My HTM PLUS unit is a part of an experiment, testing an ultra-low sensor position for thicker skates, precisely 1.8mm instead of 0.7-0.8mm.
I used the mouse mostly on glass and soft pads for about 3-4 weeks to play titles such as:
-Valorant
-Aimlab
Hand size and grip style 21x11 cm aggressive claw/fingertip
The package includes:
- 8k polling rate receiver
- 2 USB cables
- Arm sleeves
- Grips
- Skates
- 4 packs of molding clay
- 8k polling rate receiver
- Carrying case
- Mouse itself
As for every G-wolves release, the unboxing experience is something worth praising, a lot of goodies, gadgets, and accessories for all intents and purposes.
HTM Plus comes in 4 different colorways, a solid black, white with green accents, frost blue, and Amethyst.
Worth mentioning the color change on the dongle, purple instead of the regular blue previously used for the older models.
A slightly larger mouse for a price point of $149.00 and $159.00 based on the color, at 35g.

Product Overview
Switches: The click implementation felt on point, with crisp clicks with a slightly heavier feel going towards the hump of the mouse, extremely comfortable for a variety of grips. I didn't experience any wobble, with imperceptible pre-travel
Scroll wheel: G_wolves features a rubberized scroll wheel with quiet tactile feedback, a pleasant experience.
Battery life: I'm not sure if the battery is the same as VUK, but on this particular model, the battery lasts way longer, and I had to charge it only 2-3 times playing at 2k polling rate.
Software: Standard web-based software that g-wolves uses for all their mice, nothing to complain about
Shape and comfort
HTM Plus is a medium-large mouse with a narrow width. Shape-wise, it reminds me of a bigger and lighter OP1 without coating, perfect for claw and palm users.
It uses the PCB to reinforce the shell, and a battery in the opposite part to balance the weight.
The honeycomb shell is very solid, and I didn't experience any flex or cracking during daily use.
It can get slippery while sweating, but you get plenty of grips to mitigate that.
As stated before, the unit was provided for testing new skates and a super-low sensor. My tests were mostly on glass pads with the most amount of time on Glsswrks Zane, the ultra-low sensor was never an issue, and the skates actually felt very nice and smooth, with a decent speed.
For my playstyle, on soft pads, the sensor was actually having problems, especially pushing into the fabric.
As said before, the retail unit will have a standard sensor height, so none of these is applied to these units.
Summary
This mouse is actually my current main, and I'm definitely gonna use it more and more in 2026. Everything about it hits the sweet spot for me, the shape feels fantastic, the weight is on point, and even with the lower sensor, I can use the spacer in the packaging to adapt different dots.
Between the last 3 releases, VUK, HTM Plus, and HTX ultra, this one is definitely my favorite. If you're looking for a larger mouse and the absence of coating is not a hurdle for you, I would highly recommend it.
At this weight and size, you can't really find anything else than Gwolves HTM Plus.
Definitely looking forward to experimenting more with a lower-profile sensor at least for what concerns the glasspad experience.
