The Best Bluetooth Gaming Mice
From the Orochi V2 to the Sabre v2 PRO: five gaming mice ranked on weight and battery life, with who should skip each one.
By Alex Morgan, PC Hardware Editor
12 min read5 products evaluated
Bluetooth lets a gaming mouse work with a laptop without the dongle. Every pick supports Bluetooth, ordered by battery life.
This is a research roundup, not a lab test: weight, max DPI and battery life come from each maker's published specs; nothing here was tested in-house, and a missing weight is flagged, not filled in.

Razer Naga V2 HyperSpeed Wireless MMO Gaming Mouse
The Naga V2 HyperSpeed has the most buttons and the longest battery here, with dongle and Bluetooth modes, which makes it the easiest recommendation.
Best for
- Buyers who want up to 400 hours on Bluetooth.
Skip if
- Price-first buyers should look at the Orochi V2, which cost less when we checked.
Why we like it
Its 19 programmable buttons suit MMO hotbars, and it connects over HyperSpeed 2.4GHz or Bluetooth. The side plate layout keeps abilities under your thumb. Razer Synapse tunes the sensor, and turning off Windows pointer precision improves accuracy.
On battery life it sits mid-pack at 250 hours: the Strix Impact III Wireless runs for 618 hours, and the Sabre v2 PRO comes in at 120 hours. You also get a HyperScroll wheel with free-spin and tactile modes and Gen-2 mechanical switches rated for up to 60 million clicks. Side-button mapping is done in the maker's software, which runs on Windows. Its price falls between the Strix Impact III Wireless and the Sabre v2 PRO, based on our last check.

The catch
Buyers who need a confirmed weight should compare it with the Attack Shark X3, which weighs 49g.
Lightest Mouse4 of 5
Attack Shark X3 Wireless Gaming Mouse
Attack Shark's X3 is a 49g tri-mode mouse with a PAW3395 sensor.
Best for
- Fast flick aiming.
Skip if
- Skip it if price comes first: the Orochi V2 cost less when we checked.
Why we like it
Lift-off distance and polling are set in software. It weighs 49g and connects over Bluetooth 5.2, 2.4GHz or a cable, and the PAW3395 sensor reaches 26,000 DPI. It suits fast aim games on a budget.
On battery life it sits mid-pack at 200 hours: the Strix Impact III Wireless runs for 618 hours, and the Sabre v2 PRO comes in at 120 hours. You also get Kailh GM 8.0 switches rated for 80 million clicks. Keep the Attack Shark X3 on its dongle for games; Bluetooth is for a laptop. On price it sat second of 5, between the cheaper Orochi V2 and the pricier Strix Impact III Wireless, at the time of writing.

Premium Pick5 of 5
Corsair Sabre v2 PRO Wireless Mouse
The Sabre v2 PRO is built around polling rate: 8,000Hz, a 33,000 DPI sensor and dongle, Bluetooth and wired modes.
Best for
- Spending more than the Naga V2 HyperSpeed costs for the fullest feature set in this group.
Skip if
- Skip it if battery life matters most to you; the Strix Impact III Wireless offers 618 hours.
Why we like it
Its magnesium alloy shell keeps weight down, and 8,000Hz polling works both wired and over SLIPSTREAM wireless. The sensor tracks at up to 750 IPS with 50G acceleration, well beyond most players' swipes. It uses Corsair's MARKSMAN S sensor, and the 120-hour battery figure applies with 2.4GHz at 1kHz polling.
Reaching 8,000Hz depends on your CPU. Its 120 hours battery life is the shortest in this group; the Strix Impact III Wireless leads at 618 hours. Polling above 1,000Hz shortens battery life and needs a CPU with headroom.
At our last price check it topped the group, with the Naga V2 HyperSpeed the nearest cheaper option. If you want a confirmed weight, look to the Attack Shark X3 instead: it weighs 49g, while this one gives no figure.
Key specs
- Max DPI
- 33,000
- Battery life
- 120 hours
- Polling rate
- 8,000Hz
- Connection
- Slipstream 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, wired
Pros
- Up to 120 hours per charge
- 8,000Hz polling
- Dongle plus Bluetooth
- The top of this price range
Cons
- Battery life trails the Strix Impact III Wireless (618 hours)
- Costs more than the Orochi V2 at the time of writing
