A snappy sensor and great response make this mouse a great choice for competitive gamers who are looking for a little extra aesthetically and feature-wise. Its surprisingly reasonable price tag doesn’t go amiss, either. The only sore spot is a less-than-stellar battery life that requires some effort to get the most amount of game time.

The mouse achieves what it sets out to do: provide competitive gamers with an absurd polling rate. Though ask yourself this, do you really need it? The answer is probably no, in which case there’s the cheaper 1KHz version. Also, in our testing, we experienced some dropouts with the wireless connection.

Almost a great gaming mouse but the wireless experience is frustrating in a way its rivals aren’t. The customisation options are great, it feels comfortable in the hand, and the sensor is reliable and accurate, but it’s just a little short of being the full package.

This mouse is simply not worth the cost, in our eyes. It features a nice clean design and responsive sensor, but it has cheap-feeling side buttons and there are much better options for the high price tag. Not to mention, on the darker versions of the mouse the Alienware logo looks a little too much like a cheap sticker for my liking.

The Corsair M75 Wireless is a great mouse for lefties. It’s genuinely ambidextrous because you can move its buttons from one side to the other. Apart from that, though, it’s nothing to write home about.

The Viper V3 Pro is a superb pick for esports gaming given its 54 g weight and up to 8 kHz polling. It’s a bit of a fingerprint magnet, though, and it isn’t as light as our pick for best competitive wireless gaming mouse.

Featuring an updated sensor, the second iteration of Glorious’s Model D mouse is similarly comfy and performs well. However, it isn’t the lightest and we think there are better lightweight options such as the Superlight V2.

This mouse was previously our pick for the best wireless gaming mouse, but we reckon the HyperSpeed version is better value. Still, if you’re happy spending a little more, the V3 Pro certainly won’t disappoint.

If you’re looking for a compact mouse, though, despite any RGB battery life concerns, this is what we’d recommend. It’s comfortable to use and performs well, and is sized well for smaller hands or claw- or fingertip-grippers.
Its battery life is great at up to 100 hours over HyperSpeed wireless, but there’s a big caveat here: In testing, this was only the case with RGB disabled. With its gorgeously subtle underside RGB enabled, it only lasted only a fraction of this. So, small-handed RGB lovers, consider yourselves warned.
The proof is in the pudding, though, and Alex Blake found this thing to be incredibly comfortable to use when they tested it, finding it snappy, responsive, and suitably slippery on the mousemat (without detracting from precision, of course). Responsiveness is no doubt aided by its Focus Pro 30K Optical sensor, the 30K of course meaning it’s capable of up to 30,000 DPI.
In fact, it’s a solid all-rounder just like the (or V3 Pro), but smaller. It’s not quite light enough to sit in the “lightweight mouse” category, but not every mouse has to be light as a feather, you know? 77 g is comfy enough and lighter than many other staple gaming mice.
Sure, there are plenty of small mice, but are there any good ones? A decent small gaming mouse is surprisingly hard to come by, but we think the Cobra Pro is the best of the bunch.
Not everyone is handily endowed—a fact that the PC gaming industry sometimes seems to forget. Well, if you’ve got dinky digits, the Razer Cobra Pro might be the best mouse for you, because we reckon it’s the best mouse for small hands.
❌ You want to enjoy the RGB lights: Well, you can buy it if that’s the case, but it won’t last as long as you’d like.
Don’t buy if…❌ You have large hands: The Cobra Pro is on the smaller side as far as Razer’s mice go.
✅ You hate charging wireless mice: Once the lights are off, this one goes on and on and on.

And because it’s not designed with any gamer archetype in mind, the Cobra Pro suits a range of playstyles.

For 117 g you’d also hope that battery life is decent, and thankfully Razer’s delivered on this front, with the Naga Pro having up to 150 hours of battery life on a single charge. Throw all this into a premium-looking and -feeling package, and you have the Razer Naga Pro, the ideal mouse for MMO gaming.
This is the main draw to the Naga Pro, but the rest of the mouse is stellar, too. Its Focus+ optical sensor is plenty responsive and offers up to 20,000 DPI which should be more than enough for gaming. It’s unfortunately increased its weight to 117 g, but there was always going to be some sacrifice for the hot-swappable side-button tech.
The Naga Pro is based primarily on the popular Razer Naga Trinity, which allows you to swap between side-button layouts. The original Nagas just had the one 12-button layout, but the Naga Pro now lets you swap between two-, six-, and 12-side-button layouts. So, it doesn’t just have to be your MMO mouse, it can serve well as a day-to-day and non-MMO gaming mouse, too.
So, what is it that makes the Naga Pro so great for MMO gaming? If you’re into MMOs you probably need to use a lot of hotkeys, and the Naga Pro delivers programmable buttons in spades for just this reason.
You can’t think “MMO mouse” without thinking “Razer Naga,” and we reckon the Razer Naga Pro is currently the best mouse for MMO gaming on the market. Yes, the Naga Pro V2 is out now, but the Naga Pro is much cheaper and doesn’t sacrifice much. It’s much the same situation as with the DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed vs DeathAdder V3 Pro: If you want the absolute best you can go for the latest top-end version, but the cheaper version seem to be better value.
Don’t buy if…❌ If you want something basic and affordable: It’s a bit pricey, but all those extra features had to come with a cost somewhere. If you don’t need the extra buttons, this might not be the mouse for you.
✅ If you’re looking for large and in charge: The Naga Pro is big, it’s true, but it’s also very comfortable, and suits those with larger hands.

For competitive gaming, we reckon you can’t get much better than the Burst II Air. (And, by the way, isn’t it great that Logitech, Corsair, and Razer finally have some top-notch competition on this front?)
Instead, the Burst II Air sticks to pure function. This can be seen even in its software, which Kegan Mooney found to be very straightforward and easy to use when they tested it.
The icing on the cake is that this thing is rated for a seriously fantastic 120-hour battery life. That’s probably because it cuts out all the unnecessary fluff such as RGB lighting and unnecessarily high polling capabilities.
That’s what the Burst Air II delivers. It’s a no-frills mouse that glides across the mousepad effortlessly. Performance-wise, it’s up there with the best of them, because we had zero issues with the Owl-Eye 26K Optical sensor, and its 26,000 DPI and 1,000 Hz polling, despite current 8 kHz trends, should be enough for competitive gaming.
Turtle Beach has really figured out its target market for this mouse. You want a light mouse if you want to do competitive gaming. And if you’re into competitive gaming, you don’t want a million bells, whistles, and other shiny things—you just want a mouse that’s easy to use, works, and performs exceptionally well.
The reason for this is simple: It’s a ridiculously lightweight mouse at just 47 g, and somehow manages this while remaining sturdy. For reference, staple lightweight mice such as the and weigh 60 g and 68 g, respectively.
No, I didn’t expect to see a Turtle Beach mouse on this list, either, but the Burst II Air is such a solid, lightweight mouse that we reckon it’s actually the best mouse for competitive gaming on the market right now. It’s certainly the best we’ve got our hands on.
Don’t buy if…❌ You want something fancy: You have to sacrifice quite a lot to get a mouse so light and responsive for competitive gaming, so don’t expect any fancy features or RGB lighting with this mouse.

There’s not much else to this thing, it’s just a solid all-round gaming mouse for surprisingly few pennies, and if you’re on a budget it’s one we’d definitely recommend you consider.
The cream on top is really the RGB lighting, though, since it’s rare to get nice lighting on a solid budget gaming mouse. The G203 Lightsync, however, has three-zone RGB, and looks pretty dashing all things considered. Its gray scroll wheel looks rather nice, too.
It’s light and comfortable to use, which is the most important thing. But it’s also got a pretty decent sensor and reaches up to 8,000 DPI. Sure, that’s nothing like the 26k+ monsters you get at the high-end, but it’s more than enough for competitive gaming at 1440p and casual gaming at 4K.
If any of those things sound reasonable to you, the G203 Lightsync is worth a look, not least because, despite being incredibly cheap, it offers all the basics you might want from a gaming mouse.
There’s a lot to be said for a cheap gaming mouse like this one, too. Yes, a is nice and all, but what about a backup mouse? what about a mouse you can take out and about and don’t mind getting scuffed up? Heck, what about saving some money and putting it towards a component like a new ?
Sometimes you just want something cheap and cheerful, and if that’s what you’re after, the Logitech G203 Lightsync won’t disappoint because it’s the best budget wired gaming mouse on the market right now, we reckon. It’s shapely, comfy, functional, good-looking, and will cost you nary an arm nor a leg.
Don’t buy if…❌ If you want a ton of features: It’s basic, and that’s actually it’s biggest strength. If you’re looking for a lot of extra buttons and do-hickeys though, it’d be worth spending up a bit.
✅ If you’d like some RGB lighting: Three zone lighting is a nice bonus for such an affordable mouse.

The shape of the G305 is based on a small, symmetrical design Logitech has been using for years. While components like the scroll wheel and buttons don’t feel as premium as those in the G502, they’re still far better than anything you’ll find in a cheap gaming mouse. The quality and performance of the G305 are killer features for its price.
Logitech has won praise for its 2.4 GHz wireless technology and cross-device compatibility. Even though lag shouldn’t be an issue, the G305 comes with a extension cable, allowing you to place the receiver close to the mouse. The small wireless dongle can be stored inside the body of the mouse, where the single AA battery resides (which is good for a claimed 200 hours).
The left- and right-click buttons are separate pieces from the removable palm rest, ensuring a reliable and satisfying click. They’re rated for 10 million clicks too, so if you’re playing games that require button mashing, the G305 will serve you well. Not bad for a budget option, and something that’ll likely last you for many years of heavy clicking.
In addition to the CPI button, there are five programmable buttons. Of course, there are the left and right click buttons, which are joined by a scroll wheel and two side buttons. These are well placed for the righties out there; lefties are out of luck, though.
The G305 uses Logitech’s Hero sensor, an iteration of the fantastic sensor Logitech’s best mice, from the classic G502 down to the G Pro X Superlight. This sensor has a sensitivity range of up to 12,000 (counts per inch) and can be adjusted via a button underneath the scroll wheel.
The G305 Lightspeed might not be the latest model on the market, but don’t let that bother you. A good mouse is a good mouse. It’s still a great value option for day-to-day use, while its light weight makes it well suited to fast-paced shooters where reaction time is paramount.
With the , Logitech has created a high-performance mouse that doesn’t cost the earth, and that makes it our best budget wireless gaming mouse. Despite the low cost, there’s no compromise in performance or design.
❌ You want a lot of features: The G305 Lightspeed offers everything you need, but not a huge amount extra.
Don’t buy if…❌ You want a rechargeable battery as standard: While rechargeable AA batteries are relatively cheap, it’d be nice if the G305 had an internal unit instead.
✅ You want great battery life: While you’ll need to swap out an AA battery rather than charge an internal unit, you will at least get 200 hours of usage out each one, which is pretty good going.

This thing is hella cheap, too, thanks to the lack of wireless capabilities, sitting well shy of $100 and much cheaper than the wireless versions. If you’re in the market for a wired gaming mouse today, you can’t get much better than the Logitech G502 X.
Apart from these changes, though, the G502 X keeps the original G502’s most beloved features, such as its toggle-able infinity scroll wheel (the wheel’s now plastic, though). This can be an ergonomic life-saver when browsing or doing other scroll-intensive tasks. And its thumbrest and long side-buttons still make for a super chill and ergonomically refined experience, too.
The G502 X is a little different to the original G502, primarily because it uses new opto-mechanical mouse switches and comes in a fair whack lighter than previous versions at 89 g—two very welcome changes. It still has the same Hero sensor, but this performs really well and can reach up to 25,600 DPI, so no complaints there.
The thing is, though, most new high-end gaming mice hitting the market are wireless ones, so you usually have to look a little further back to find the best of the best in the wired market. Not so with the circa 2022 G502 X, however, because this mouse is a fantastic corded option and is pretty recent, too, meaning it has a lot of the modern additions you might hope for.
Not everyone wants to deal with wireless charging, and some might prefer the peace of mind a cable provides. Not to mention the price, because although prices for wireless mice are decreasing, wired mice still tend to be cheaper.
The Logitech G502 X is the best wired gaming mouse primarily because its beloved shape offers a gaming experience that’s more than pleasant under the fingertips. Logitech’s G502 shape is a classic: bold, functional, and above all, comfortable and ergonomic. Many of us at PC Gamer can attest to the sheer comfort of the G502 shape.
Don’t buy if…❌ You’re looking for silence: The Lightforce switches may be positive and decently quick, but they make a bit of a clunk that might annoy your living companions if they’re in the same room.
✅ If you want great build quality, without the heaviness: A good mouse doesn’t have to be heavy to feel like a substantial and well-constructed product, and the G502 proves it.

Throw in the fact that it’s lighter than the Pro and has 10 hours extra battery life, and it’s a no-brainer, in my opinion. You’re getting a high-quality hall-of-fame mouse design for a fraction of the cost of its very similar flagship sibling. For an all-round fantastic cordless mouse, the Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed is where it’s at.
It drops max polling from 8 kHz to 1 kHz, but 8 kHz is overkill even for competitive gaming and drains the battery much quicker. Its DPI maxes out a few thousand lower than the Pro, too—but again, who really cares? 1,000 Hz polling and 26,000 DPI is more than enough for the vast majority of gamers.
But why this particular one? Well, to be blunt: value for money. While the is the pinnacle of the DeathAdder series, and while we’d recommend it above the HyperSpeed if money really is no concern at all, the HyperSpeed version costs so much less and makes so few sacrifices that we’d be remiss if we didn’t recommend it.
We’re no exception here at PC Gamer. DeathAdders are incredibly comfy to use, provided you’re a righty. And this certainly hasn’t changed with the DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed. It’s mighty comfortable to use, even for long gaming sessions.
