Transcripts
I tested many gaming mice recently and
now I'm going to rank the 20 most
popular mice of 2024 links to all of
these mices will be listed in the
description below number one Razer Death
Adder V3 Pro the Razer Death Adder V3
Pro is a beast when it comes to
Performance weighing just 63 G it's
ultra light and perfect for competitive
FPS and Esports gaming the 30,000 DPI
sensor is incredibly impressive and the
ergonomic design fits like a glove
especially for larger hands however it
does come with a hefty price tag and
you'll need a shell out extra for the
4,000 HZ hyper pooling dongle despite
these drawbacks the performance and
comfort make it worth every penny for me
this one is definitely god tier number
two Razer basilisk V3 Pro the Razer
basilis V3 Pro is a feature packed Mouse
with 10 plus one programmable buttons
RGB lighting and NextGen Wireless
charging capability it's fast responsive
and has great ergonomics but it's also
on the heavier side and quite expensive
the wireless char charging dog and Puck
are sold separately which adds to the
cost while it's a solid performer the
high price and extra costs for
accessories make it less appealing so
I'm placing this in the great tier
number three Logitech g502 X plus the
logiic g502 X+ is a versatile gaming
mouse with a comfortable ergonomic shape
and 13 programmable controls it features
the hero 25k sensor which is smooth and
accurate and the hybrid Optical
mechanical switches feel great however
it's quite heavy and lacks some premium
features like Bluetooth connectivity and
a special charging dongle the price is
also on the higher side making it less
of a value proposition for these Reasons
I'm putting it in the good tier number
four Razer Viper V2 Pro the Razer Viper
V2 Pro is an ultra lightweight Mouse at
just 58 G making it perfect for Esports
Gamers it has a minimalist design
excellent battery life and a high
performance sensor however it feels ay
due to its lightness and lacks some
features like RGB lighting and side
grips the price is also quite steep for
what you get given these factors I'm
placing it in the average tier number
five steel series rival 5 the steel
series rival 5 is a versatile feature
packed Mouse at a very reasonable price
of
$59.99 it has nine programmable buttons
RGB lighting and a comfortable
right-handed shape however it lacks
Wireless capabilities and custom weights
and the extra thumb buttons can be
tricky to use despite these minor issues
the price to Performance ratio is
excellent making it a great allaround
Mouse for me this one goes into the
great tier number six Cooler Master
mm31 The Cooler Master mm 311 is a
budget friendly option that punches
above its weight it's lightweight
ambidextrous and offers a solid 10,000
DPI sensor the battery life is
impressive lasting up to 115 hours on a
single AA battery however it lacks some
premium features like RGB lighting and
has a non-rechargeable battery which
might be a deal breaker for some if you
are on a tight budget a need a reliable
wireless mouse this is a solid pick but
for those looking for more advanced
features you might want to look
elsewhere I'm placing this mouse in the
good tier number seven Corsair Qatar Pro
XT the Corsair Qatar Pro XT is another
budget friendly option but it comes with
some trade-offs it's incredibly
lightweight at 73 G and features an
18,000 DPI sensor which is great for
fast-paced FPS games the build quality
is solid and it has a comfortable design
suitable for claw anding finger tip
grips however it's wired which might be
a downside for those looking for
wireless Freedom the sensor performance
can be inconsistent especially at higher
speeds and it lacks some of the premium
features found in more expensive mice
given its price and performance I'm
placing the Corsair Qatar prox in the
average tier number eight red dragon
m686 the red dragon m686 is a bit of a
mixed B it offers a high DPI sensor and
a decent number of programmable buttons
making it a good choice for MMO and FPS
Gamers the build quality is decent and
it comes with RGB lighting which is a
nice touch however it's not as
lightweight as some of the other options
on this list and the software can be a
bit clunky it's a good budget option but
it doesn't quite reach the heights of
the more premium mice I'm placing the
red dragon m686 in the average tier
number nine alien wear Pro Wireless the
alien Weare Pro Wireless is a high-end
gaming mouse designed with competitive
gamers in mind it features a 26,000 DPI
sensor 4,000 Herz
Wireless polling rate and 8,000 HZ wired
polling rate making it incredibly
responsive the build quality is
top-notch and it's exceptionally
lightweight at under 60 G however it
lags Bluetooth connectivity which might
be a downside for those looking for a
Multi-Device setup the price is also on
the higher side but you get what you pay
for in terms of performance and build
quality given its premium features and
performance I'm placing the Alienware
Pro Wireless in the great
tier number 10 Logitech g502 X light
speed the Logitech g502 X light speed is
a fantastic gaming mouse that offers a
lot of features for its price it comes
with a 25,600 DPI hero sensor 13
programmable buttons and Logitech light
speed Wireless technology which provides
a low latency connection the battery
life is excellent lasting up to 140
hours and it supports USBC charging
however it lags Bluetooth connectivity
and the RGB lighting is only available
on the more expensive g502 X Plus
variant despite these minor drawbacks
the g502 X light speed offers excellent
performance and customization options
making it a top Contender I'm placing
the Logitech g502 X light speed in the
great tier number 11 Logitech g305 light
speed the g305 light speed is a
fantastic budget friendly wireless
gaming mouse it uses the hero sensor
which offers up to 12,000 DPI and has a
very low latency making it great for FPS
games the battery life is superb lasting
up to 250 hours on a single AA battery
which is a huge Plus for those who hate
frequent
recharging however it does have some
drawbacks the mouse is a bit small which
might not be comfortable for users with
larger hands and it lacks some of the
premium features like RGB lighting and a
rechargeable battery that you find in
higher end models despite these minor
issues the g305 offers incredible value
for its price making it a solid choice
for budget conscious Gamers for its
price to Performance ratio I'm placing
the Logitech g305 flight speed in the
great tier number 12 Pulsar x2h the
Pulsar x2h is an interesting Mouse with
a unique shape that caters the clog
rippers it features Optical switches and
a PMW 3395 sensor capable of pulling
rates up to 4,000 htz which is
impressive on paper however the
execution falls short due to Quality
Control issues such as inconsistent
button feel and a scroll wheel that can
be a hit or miss the coating also feels
like a step back from previous models
while it has top-notch performance specs
these QC issues can be a deal breaker
for many given these concerns I'm
placing the Pulsar x2h in the average
tier number 13 razor Naga Trinity the
Razer Naga Trinity is a versatile Mouse
designed for MMO and mobile Gamers
featuring three interchangeable side
panels with different button layouts
this makes it adaptable for various
gaming genres the 5G Optical sensor with
up to 16,000 DPI ensures precise
tracking however it's a bit bulky and
not ideal for smaller hands the side
buttons can also be stiff and hard to
press which might be frustrating during
intense gaming sessions Additionally the
price is on the higher side which might
not justify the purchase for casual
gamers considering its versatility but
also its Niche appeal and higher price
I'm placing the Razer Naga Trinity in
the good tier number 14 Corsair skar
Elite the Corsair skar Elite is a beast
up for MMO and mobile Gamers featuring a
12 button side panel that can be
adjusted to fit your hand size it has a
high DPI sensor and excellent build
quality the mouse is comfortable for
long gaming sessions thanks to its
ergonomic design however it's quite
bulky and heavy making it less suitable
for FPS games or users with smaller
hands the side buttons are also close
together which can make it tricky to use
in fast- based situations the price is
also on the higher end which might not
be justifiable for everyone given its
specialized design and higher price I'm
placing the Corsair simitar Elite in the
average tier number 15 Razer Orochi V2
the Razer Orochi V2 is a compact
lightweight wireless mouse that's
perfect for Gamers on the go it features
a 5G Optical sensor with up to 18,000
DPI and offers dual mode wireless
connectivity the battery life is
exceptional and the customizable face
plates add a nice touch however it's not
suitable for larger hands and the lack
of RGB lighting might be a turn off for
some the price is also a bit steep for
what you get but its portability and
performance make it a strong Contender
for its excellent portability and solid
performance I'm placing the Razer Orochi
V2 in the great tier number 16 lamzo
Atlantis mini the lamzo Atlantis mini is
a compact lightweight mouse that packs a
bunch with it its pix art 3395 sensor
and 49 G weight it's perfect for clog GP
users and those with smaller hands the
performance is Stellar with low click
latency and smooth gliding PTFE feed
however it lags Bluetooth connectivity
and has a somewhat limited battery life
compared to some competitors the price
is reasonable at around
$120 making it a solid choice for gamers
who priori size performance in a smaller
form factor for its excellent
performance and reasonable price I'm
placing the Lanzo Atlantis mini in the
great tier number 17 Asus Rock KES 2 ace
the Asus Rock Caris 2 ace is a beast in
the gaming mouse world with a 42,000 DPI
sensor 4,000 Herz polling Wireless rate
and Ultra lightweight designed at 54 G
it's built for competitive FPS gaming
the Dual connectivity options and
ergonomic design make it versatile and
comfortable for long gaming sessions
however it comes with a hefty price tag
of
$159 which might be a bit steep for some
despite the high price the features and
performance justify it the mouse is
definitely gotier for those who can
afford it number 18 steel series Sensei
10 the steel series Sensei 10 is a
throwback to the classic Sensei design
with modern upgrades it features a true
move Pro sensor with up to 18,000 CPI
making it highly accurate the ambid extr
is design and symmetrical shape are
great for both left and right-handed
users however it's a bit heavier at 92 G
and the cable can be stiff priced at
around 70 bucks it offers good value but
doesn't quite reach the height of the
top tier mice I'm placing the steel
series sense a 10 in the good tier
number 19 Kyron M3 mini the Kyron M3
mini is an impressive budget friendly
option it features the Pix art 3395
sensor 26,000 DPI and weighs only 55 G
the triple connectivity options make it
highly versatile the build quality is
solid and it offers great performance
for its price of around 50 bucks however
it lacks some Advanced features like RGB
lighting and has fewer programmable
buttons for its unbeatable price
performance ratio the Kyron M3 mini
earns a spot in the great tier and
number 20 fantech Arya xd7 the fantech
Arya xd7 is a lightweight wireless mouse
with a pixart paw 3395 sensor and a
weight of 60 G it's designed for claw
and fingertip grips offering excellent
click latency and sensor performance the
battery life is a bit lacking and the
side buttons can be awkwardly placed
priced at $68 it's a decent option but
doesn't quite stand out in any
particular area therefore I'm placing
the fantech AR xd7 in the average tier
so there you have it these are my
personal ratings for all the most
popular gaming mice of 2024 links to all
