Our Picks

Best True Left-Handed1 of 6

Pulsar X3 LHD Crazylight Mini

Pulsar's X3 LHD Crazylight Mini is a true left-handed wireless mouse with a palm-claw hybrid shape.

Best for

Left-handed shooters.

Skip if

Its weight is not published, which rules it out if you need that number.
Pulsar X3 LHD Crazylight Mini

Why we like it

It uses a 32K sensor. It weighs 43g, and optical switches reduce double-clicking. Included Dot Skates cut friction.

It is the only pick here with a wireless connection; the Naga Left-Handed has a wired connection instead. It also comes with symmetrical button height. The Pulsar X3 LHD Mini's dongle works best on a front USB port or an extender near the mouse.

It was the highest-priced of the 6 picks at the time of writing, so the case for it rests on what it adds over the Naga Left-Handed and the rest. The maker doesn't give its weight; if that figure matters, the Model O Eternal weighs 55g.

Razer Naga Left-Handed Edition

Best for

Skip if

Pass if a published weight matters; this one has none.
Razer Naga Left-Handed Edition

Why we like it

It is wired with a laser sensor. Its tilting scroll wheel adds more inputs, and the one-size-fits-all shape suits most left hands. Its 12 button count is the most here; the EVGA X10 comes next at 9.

It is the only pick here with a left-handed shape; the M75 Wired has an ambidextrous shape instead. You also get Razer Synapse macro support. Side-button mapping is done in the maker's software, which runs on Windows.

It was priced above the M75 Wired and below the Pulsar X3 LHD Mini at the time of writing. There is no published weight figure, whereas the Model O Eternal weighs 55g.

Skip it if weight matters most to you; the Model O Eternal offers 55g.
Corsair M75 Wired Gaming Mouse

Why we like it

It weighs 74g with a 26K sensor. It weighs 74g, and optical switches rated for 100 million clicks remove debounce delay. Its MARKSMAN sensor tracks at 650 IPS with 50G acceleration.

At 74g it stays light, and the ambidextrous shell takes swappable side buttons for left- or right-hand use. Its 74g weight is the heaviest in this group; the Model O Eternal leads at 55g. You also get RGB lighting.

On price it sat fourth of 6, between the cheaper Strix Impact III Wireless and the pricier Naga Left-Handed, at the time of writing. The trade-off is weight; for more, the Model O Eternal weighs 55g.

Lightest Mouse5 of 6

Glorious Model O Eternal Wired Gaming Mouse

Glorious's Model O Eternal is a 55g ambidextrous wired mouse with a honeycomb shell.

Best for

Players who lift the mouse often at low sensitivity.

Skip if

Skip it if button count matters most to you; the Naga Left-Handed offers 12.
Glorious Model O Eternal Wired Gaming Mouse

Why we like it

Its switches are rated for 80 million clicks. Its honeycomb shell brings the weight down to 55g, and the symmetrical shape works for most grips. The wired cable keeps latency and battery out of the picture.

On weight it leads this guide at 55g, ahead of the Strix Impact III Wireless (57g). Its 6 button count is the fewest in this group; the Naga Left-Handed leads at 12. It also offers Glorious CORE software for remapping.

You also get this: light 55g body. When we checked, only the EVGA X10 cost less, and the Strix Impact III Wireless cost more.

Best Adjustable Weight6 of 6

EVGA X10 Wired Gaming Mouse

EVGA's X10 is an ambidextrous wired mouse with a laser sensor and adjustable weights.

Best for

Tuning weight.

Skip if

Its weight is not published, which rules it out if you need that number.
EVGA X10 Wired Gaming Mouse

Why we like it

It has nine buttons. Its height and weight systems adjust to your grip, Omron switches handle the clicks, and the software sets macros, profiles and on-screen display. The ambidextrous shape works for either hand, and on-the-fly DPI adjustment reaches 8,200.

Omron switches and a silver-coated cable round out the build. On button count it sits mid-pack at 9: the Naga Left-Handed offers 12, and the Model O Eternal comes in at 6. It undercut the Model O Eternal and every other pick on price at the time of writing. The maker doesn't give its weight; if that figure matters, the Model O Eternal weighs 55g.
