Which should you buy?
The Thorn is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 10.3 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the XM2we if you care most about battery. The biggest gaps in its favor are battery.
Pick the Thorn if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are polling rate, max dpi, weight.
Both ship with comparable wireless, buttons, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
