Our Picks
Best Large Shape1 of 5
HyperX Pulsefire Dart Wireless
HyperX's Pulsefire Dart is a large right-handed wireless mouse with leatherette side grips.
Best for
- Palm grips.
Skip if
- Look at the others if this bothers you: shorter 50-hour battery.
Why we like it
It supports Qi wireless charging. Its PixArt 3389 sensor and padded leatherette grips suit long sessions, and it charges on any Qi pad. Battery is rated at 50 hours with lighting on and 90 with it off.
Its wireless connection is gaming-grade for low latency. 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 G502 Lightspeed and the rest. The maker doesn't give its button count; if that figure matters, the G502 Lightspeed offers 11.
Key specs
- Max DPI
- 16,000
- Battery life
- 50 hours
- Connection
- 2.4GHz, wired
- Shape
- Right-handed ergonomic
Pros
- Qi wireless charging
- Padded leatherette side grips
- Large right-handed shape
Cons
- Shorter 50-hour battery
- No published button count
- Costs more than the Basilisk V3 at the time of writing
Best Adjustable Weight2 of 5
Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless
The G502 Lightspeed brings Logitech's 11-button G502 shape to wireless with adjustable weights and a fast scroll wheel.
Best for
- Heavier feel.
Skip if
- If budget leads, the Basilisk V3 was cheaper at our last price check.
Why we like it
It supports PowerPlay charging. Its HERO 25K sensor tracks up to 25,600 DPI with no smoothing, and a thin-wall design with an internal endoskeleton keeps it wireless-light. On button count it ties with the Basilisk V3 at 11.
No other pick in this guide offers a lightspeed 2.4GHz connection; compare the Basilisk V3, which has a wired connection. The G502 Lightspeed's dongle works best on a front USB port or an extender near the mouse. You also get this: 11 programmable buttons.
Before buying, weigh one limit: costs more than the Basilisk V3 at the time of writing. Its price falls between the Ironclaw RGB Wireless and the Pulsefire Dart, based on our last check.
Key specs
- Programmable buttons
- 11
- Max DPI
- 25,600
- Connection
- Lightspeed 2.4GHz
Pros
- 11 programmable buttons
- Adjustable weights
- Hyper-fast scroll wheel
- PowerPlay wireless charging support
Cons
- Costs more than the Basilisk V3 at the time of writing
Best Thumb Rest3 of 5
Razer Basilisk V3 Wired Gaming Mouse
Razer's wired Basilisk V3 has a thumb rest built into the shell and a HyperScroll tilt wheel.
Best for
- Resting the thumb.
Skip if
- Look at the other picks if you need a feature not covered above.
Why we like it
It has 11 buttons. Its 11 programmable buttons and thumb rest suit games with many binds. The HyperScroll wheel free-spins through long pages or switches to tactile steps for weapon swaps.
Razer Chroma lighting has 11 zones for effects that follow the scroll wheel and sides. A sculpted thumb rest supports the hand, and 11 programmable buttons take macros such as push-to-talk. It matches the G502 Lightspeed on button count (11).
It shares a wired connection with the DeathAdder V3; the G502 Lightspeed goes with a lightspeed 2.4GHz connection. No other pick here cost less at our last price check, and the DeathAdder V3 was closest.
Key specs
- Programmable buttons
- 11
- Max DPI
- 26,000
- Connection
- Wired
- Shape
- Right-handed ergonomic with thumb rest
Pros
- 11 programmable buttons

Best Corsair4 of 5
Corsair Ironclaw RGB Wireless Gaming Mouse
The Ironclaw RGB Wireless is the large palm-grip option, with 10 buttons and three connection modes.
Best for
- Extra binds.
Skip if
- Skip it if button count matters most to you; the G502 Lightspeed offers 11.
Why we like it
Its PixArt PMW3391 sensor adjusts in single-DPI steps up to 18,000, and Omron switches are rated for over 50 million clicks. Ten buttons can be programmed with macros. It connects over sub-1ms SLIPSTREAM wireless, Bluetooth or USB.
On button count it trails the group at 10, while the G502 Lightspeed offers 11. Keep the Ironclaw RGB Wireless on its dongle for games; Bluetooth is for a laptop. You also get this: 10 programmable buttons. Its price falls between the DeathAdder V3 and the G502 Lightspeed, based on our last check.
Key specs
- Programmable buttons
- 10
- Max DPI
- 18,000
- Connection
- Slipstream 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, wired
Pros
- 10 programmable buttons
- Dongle plus Bluetooth
- Large palm-grip shape
- A 10-button palm shape
Cons
- Button count trails the G502 Lightspeed (11)
- Costs more than the Basilisk V3 at the time of writing
Lightest5 of 5
Razer DeathAdder V3 Wired Gaming Mouse
Razer's wired DeathAdder V3 is a 59g right-handed mouse with a Focus Pro 30K sensor and 8000Hz polling.
Best for
- Fast aiming.
Skip if
- Its button count is not published, which rules it out if you need that number.
Why we like it
The shape was refined with esports players, per Razer. Gen-3 optical switches are rated for 90 million clicks. Its Speedflex cable reduces drag compared with a standard rubber cable.
Like the Basilisk V3, it has a wired connection, while the G502 Lightspeed uses a lightspeed 2.4GHz connection. Polling above 1,000Hz shortens battery life and needs a CPU with headroom. Worth noting: light 59g body.
On price it sat second of 5, between the cheaper Basilisk V3 and the pricier Ironclaw RGB Wireless, at the time of writing. The maker doesn't give its button count; if that figure matters, the G502 Lightspeed offers 11.
Key specs
- Weight
- 59g
- Polling rate
- 8,000Hz
- Connection
- Wired
- Shape
- Right-handed ergonomic
Pros
- Light 59g body
- 8,000Hz polling
- No battery to charge
- The DeathAdder ergonomic shape refined with esports players
Cons
- No published button count
- Costs more than the Basilisk V3 at the time of writing

- Where the specs have gaps
- The Pulsefire Dart and the DeathAdder V3 give no button count; the DeathAdder V3 gives no max DPI.
- Price range
- At our last check the picks ran from the Basilisk V3 (under $50) to the Pulsefire Dart ($100 to $150).
