The short version
Fantech sells a wide range of gaming peripherals, and the XD series mice listed on its store are the focus here. The five models below were all shown as available on the official store on the check date. They split cleanly: the Aria family is the ultralight, no-nonsense line, the Helios XD3 is a wireless-class sensor in a more conventional shape with programmable buttons, and the Tanto Pro is the high-polling-rate flagship of this group.
If you only want a recommendation, go lightweight (Aria XD7 or Aria II) for fast shooters, pick the Aria E when price matters most, and consider the Tanto Pro only if you actually want 8000 Hz polling and a charging dock. Specs below are taken from the Fantech product listings; we have not tested these mice.
Most of the real differences here come down to weight, polling rate and whether you want RGB.
Weight, sensors and switches
The Aria II is listed at 53 ±2 g with a PixArt 3395 sensor and Huano switches, with a 1000 Hz default and an 8000 Hz option on the Pro version. The Aria XD7 Kailh Version also uses the PixArt 3395 but is listed at 59 g, with Kailh GM8.0 switches and no RGB. The Aria E is the cheapest of the set and lists a PixArt 3311 sensor with dual-mode connectivity (2.4 GHz wireless and wired).
The Helios XD3 stands apart. It uses a PixArt 3335 sensor with DPI adjustable between 100 and 16,000, six programmable buttons, a 1.8 m Type-C paracord cable and four RGB modes, in a 120 × 58 × 38 mm body. The Tanto Pro WG13P lists 8K polling, a PixArt 3950 sensor, 42,000 DPI, 58 ±2 g, a transparent green Huano shell and a charging dock, and it supports RGB.

Who should buy which?
Shooter players who want the lowest weight should compare the Aria II and Aria XD7 first. Anyone who wants a macro-friendly shape with a wired paracord cable can look at the Helios XD3. The Tanto Pro is the one to consider if you have the PC and the display refresh rate to take advantage of high polling rates; for most players 1000 Hz is plenty. If all you need is a cheap wireless mouse, the Aria E keeps the cost down.
