Our Picks
Lightest Mouse1 of 5
Razer Viper V3 Pro Wireless
Razer's Viper V3 Pro is a 54g symmetrical esports mouse with a Focus Pro 35K sensor and 8000Hz wireless polling.
Best for
- Players who lift the mouse often at low sensitivity.
Skip if
- Skip it if battery life matters most to you; the DeathAdder V4 Pro offers 150 hours.
Why we like it
It has 95 hours of battery life. Nothing else here matches its 54g weight; the DeathAdder V4 Pro comes closest at 56g. On battery life it trails the group at 95 hours, while the DeathAdder V4 Pro runs for 150 hours.
Like the DeathAdder V4 Pro, it has a HyperSpeed 2.4GHz connection, while the PRO X Superlight 2 uses a lightspeed 2.4GHz connection. A symmetrical shape is unique to it among these picks, while the Model O 2 Wireless uses an ambidextrous shape. The Viper V3 Pro's dongle works best on a front USB port or an extender near the mouse.
Polling above 1,000Hz shortens battery life and needs a CPU with headroom. On price it sat second of 5, between the cheaper Model O 2 Wireless and the pricier PRO X Superlight 2, at the time of writing.

Best Logitech2 of 5
Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 Wireless Mouse
The Superlight 2 is Logitech's esports mouse: 60g, a Hero 2 sensor and Lightforce switches, with little else in the way.
Best for
- Esports.
Skip if
- Its battery life is not published, which rules it out if you need that number.
Why we like it
Its zero-additive PTFE feet glide smoothly, and LIGHTFORCE hybrid switches give a tactile click. It polls at up to 8kHz, charges over USB-C and runs up to 95 hours per charge. The HERO 2 sensor tracks above 888 IPS at up to 44,000 DPI with no smoothing or acceleration.

Razer's DeathAdder V4 Pro weighs 56g with 8000Hz wireless polling and Gen-4 optical switches rated for 100 million clicks.
Best for
- Palm grips.
Skip if

Why we like it
It adds an optical scroll wheel. Its 56g weight ranks second of 4 here, behind the Viper V3 Pro (54g) and ahead of the Model O 2 Wireless (68g). On battery life it leads this guide at 150 hours, ahead of the Model O 2 Wireless (110 hours).
Like the Viper V3 Pro, it has a HyperSpeed 2.4GHz connection, while the PRO X Superlight 2 uses a lightspeed 2.4GHz connection. A right-handed ergonomic shape is unique to it among these picks, while the Model O 2 Wireless uses an ambidextrous shape. The DeathAdder V4 Pro's dongle works best on a front USB port or an extender near the mouse.

Best Haptic Click4 of 5
Logitech G PRO X2 Superstrike Wireless
Logitech's PRO X2 Superstrike adds haptic click feedback and 8kHz wireless polling to the PRO shape.
Best for
- Tuning fans.
Skip if
- Its weight is not published, which rules it out if you need that number.
Why we like it
It uses a Hero 2 sensor. Logitech quotes 30ms faster clicks, with 10 levels of actuation point and 5 levels of rapid trigger to tune. Its haptic trigger system adds real-time click feedback, which is unusual in a gaming mouse.
Like the PRO X Superlight 2, it has a lightspeed 2.4GHz connection, while the Viper V3 Pro uses a HyperSpeed 2.4GHz connection. The PRO X2 Superstrike's dongle works best on a front USB port or an extender near the mouse. Polling above 1,000Hz shortens battery life and needs a CPU with headroom. It was the highest-priced of the 5 picks at the time of writing, so the case for it rests on what it adds over the DeathAdder V4 Pro and the rest.

Best Value5 of 5
Glorious Model O 2 Wireless
Glorious's Model O 2 Wireless is a 68g ambidextrous mouse with a BAMF 2.0 26K sensor.
Best for
- Mid budgets.
Skip if
- Skip it if weight matters most to you; the Viper V3 Pro offers 54g.
Why we like it
It has up to 210 hours on Bluetooth. Its split-button design with switches rated for 80 million clicks gives a consistent click, and the BAMF 2.0 sensor reaches 26,000 DPI. Its 68g weight is the heaviest in this group; the Viper V3 Pro leads at 54g.
On battery life it sits mid-pack at 110 hours: the DeathAdder V4 Pro runs for 150 hours, and the Viper V3 Pro comes in at 95 hours. An ambidextrous shape is unique to it among these picks, while the DeathAdder V4 Pro uses a right-handed ergonomic shape. It also offers smaller shell holes than the original Model O Wireless.
Keep the Model O 2 Wireless on its dongle for games; Bluetooth is for a laptop. It undercut the Viper V3 Pro and every other pick on price at the time of writing.
