It’s available in some fun colors—blue, purple, white, and black—and it has customizable zones for its RGB lighting.</p><div class="ebb615ab global-cob e1e566ad a9af8aa7 d097cc30"

These models have faster response times than regular wired or wireless mice, more precise sensors, ergonomically placed buttons that you can customize with software, comfortable shapes, and scroll wheels with decisive ratchets. Most gaming mice let you switch between different sensitivity levels with the push of a button, allowing you to, say, lower the sensitivity for a first-person shooter and then turn it up for browsing the web. They often light up with pretty colors, too.</p><p>Wired gaming mice are cheaper than their wireless counterparts, and you don’t have to worry about recharging or wireless interference with these models. A good wireless gaming mouse is more expensive, but a wireless model is worth considering if you want to reduce desk clutter, if you play games in multiple locations, or if cable drag annoys you. For years, wireless wasn’t a good option on gaming mice because of latency or lag. Nowadays, good <a href="https://www.rtings.com/mouse/tests/control/latency" rel="noopener" target="_blank">wireless gaming mice can have latency just as low as that of wired gaming mice</a> and even lower than that of Bluetooth or non-gaming wireless mice—even <a href="https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/8/21/17763016/logitech-g-pro-wireless-mouse-gaming-release-date-price" rel="noopener" target="_blank">some esports pros</a> use wireless gaming mice now.</p><figure id="attachment_24273" class="caption alignnone"><div aria-hidden="true" data-scp="gif" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/gaming-mouse-grips-630.gif"></div><div style="padding-top:66.66666666666666%" class="dec011b9" data-testid="video-wrapper"><div class="bffeebde"><div></div></div></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The three main grip styles: palm grip, fingertip grip, and claw grip. <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Kyle Fitzgerald/NYT Wirecutter</span></figcaption></figure><p>If you already have a mouse you like, you don’t need to buy a new one unless it offers a feature you really want, such as more buttons, a different layout, software customization, or multicolor lighting. Newer mice look better on paper because they have wider sensitivity ranges (measured in dots per inch or counts per inch, DPI or CPI), but this feature doesn’t magically improve gameplay. The higher the sensitivity, the less you have to move the mouse to make the cursor move, and vice versa. Most people don’t use a mouse at the highest (or lowest) sensitivity levels because such settings make the cursor harder to control.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="how-we-picked"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="how-we-picked-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="How we picked" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="3">How we picked</h2><div id="how-we-picked-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="how-we-picked" aria-hidden="false"><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_281535" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image" style="padding-bottom:66.65%;display:inline"><img alt="Four of our picks for best gaming mouse displayed in a row on a gridded mat on a desk." data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/11/gaming-mouse-2048px-6860.jpg" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-281535" loading="lazy"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text">  <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Michael Murtaugh</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>In our years of testing mice, we’ve found that a few features matter more than others:</p><ul><li><strong>Comfort:</strong> The most important feature of any mouse is whether it feels comfortable in your hand. Comfort is reliant on your hand size and grip style, so what works for one person doesn’t always work for another. We aim to find mice that feel comfortable for the widest range of hand sizes and the most popular grips (fingertip and palm, followed by claw), but no mouse is universally comfortable.</li><li><strong>Buttons:</strong> In addition to left- and right-click buttons, a mouse should have at least two extra buttons near the thumb, and maybe one or two on top (including the clickable scroll wheel). All these buttons should be easy to reach for average-size hands. We eliminate mice with buttons that are too easy to click by mistake or too difficult to reach on purpose.</li><li><strong>Scroll wheel:</strong> The scroll wheel should be sturdy and easy to grip, with distinctive ratchets that make it clear when you’ve swapped weapons, for example. It should also provide a crisp, satisfying click, and it shouldn’t feel mushy or too difficult to press.</li><li><strong>Build quality:</strong> A good gaming mouse shouldn’t feel hollow and cheap or flex under pressure.</li><li><strong>Sensor:</strong> All modern gaming mice—even the budget models—have good sensors, so this isn’t a differentiating factor in our evaluation. Manufacturers like to brag about high-DPI sensors, but many people rarely use settings higher than 3,000, and most Overwatch League players <a href="https://prosettings.net/overwatch-pro-settings-gear-list/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">keep it between 800 and 1,600</a>.</li><li><strong>Switches:</strong> Many gaming mice use mechanical switches, which can fail sooner than expected on a small percentage of gaming mice. (You can <a href="#should-you-worry-about-mechanical-switches-and-the-double-click-failure">read more about the double-click failure</a> below.) Razer has redesigned most of its gaming mice to use optical switches rather than mechanical ones, and several other manufacturers have followed suit—so far, these designs don’t seem to develop the same switch failure, but they can be more expensive and are harder on battery life in wireless models. Asus has taken a different approach with its ROG-branded gaming mice, which don’t use optical switches; instead, the company has opted for a hot-swap socket design that allows people to easily change out the mechanical switches, without needing to desolder them and solder in new ones.</li><li><strong>Software:</strong> Most gaming mice come with software suites that allow you to assign keystrokes, macros, and functions to almost any of the mouse’s buttons, to tweak its sensitivity (DPI/CPI) and <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/182702/mouse-dpi-and-polling-rates-explained-do-they-matter-for-gaming/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">polling rate</a> (how often the mouse tells your computer where it is), and to customize its lighting. Better software supports multiple profiles for switching the mouse’s sensitivity and button configuration to match the game you’re playing. You should be able to save those settings directly on the mouse so that you can use them without having to run the software constantly, or so that you can take your configurations between computers. Though Windows compatibility and software are the most important for gaming, we look for Mac compatibility, too.</li><li><strong>Price:</strong> Most high-quality wired gaming mice with the newest sensors cost between $50 and $80. If you’re willing to sacrifice build quality or use an older sensor, you can get a solid budget wired gaming mouse for closer to $30. Wireless gaming mice cost a lot more—we’ve found that you typically have to pay between $120 and $150 for a great one, but you can find a solid budget model for near $60.</li><li><strong>Extra features:</strong> Most gaming mice come with customizable RGB lighting. A few come with weights to tweak the heft of the mouse to your exact liking. These features are nice bonuses but not essential to the function of the mouse.</li></ul><p>For wireless gaming mice, we consider all the same criteria we do for wired gaming mice, plus two additional factors:</p><ul><li><strong>Wireless performance:</strong> We expect a great wireless gaming mouse to have <a href="https://www.rtings.com/mouse/tests/control/latency" rel="noopener" target="_blank">minimal latency</a>, interference, and lag, which can ruin your game at a crucial moment or just frustrate you constantly. This partially depends on your setup—USB 3.0 ports and devices have been shown to radiate <a href="https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/327216.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank">radio-frequency noise (PDF)</a> that can interfere with the performance of devices using the 2.4 GHz wireless band. The noise can radiate from a port on your computer, a port on the connected device, or the cable connecting the two. Some wireless gaming mice come with an extender so that you can move the USB dongle away from sources of interference for a more reliable connection.</li><li><strong>Battery life:</strong> Because of their high polling rates and their lighting, wireless gaming mice have awful battery life compared with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-wireless-mouse/">regular wireless mice</a>, often peaking at around 25 to 30 hours. We look for wireless mice with battery life in this range or higher, favoring those that offer the option to lower polling rates and disable lighting effects.</li></ul></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="how-we-tested"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="how-we-tested-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="How we tested" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="4">How we tested</h2><div id="how-we-tested-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="how-we-tested" aria-hidden="false"><p>We start by testing each mouse using each grip style, as well as soliciting the opinions of people with different hand sizes and grips. We eliminate mice with obvious comfort issues, poorly placed buttons, inferior build quality, and subpar buttons and scroll wheels. Then I spend hours using each of the finalists for regular productivity work and sessions of <em>Overwatch 2</em> and <em>Deep Rock Galactic</em>. To test the mice’s wireless reliability, I use them on my gaming desktop more than 3 feet away from the receiver.</p><p>Mouse comfort varies based on hand size, so we researched average hand sizes for adults using <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190628054956/https://usability.gtri.gatech.edu/eou_info/hand_anthro.php" rel="noopener" target="_blank">data compiled by the Georgia Tech Research Institute</a> and a <a href="https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/ADA101070" rel="noopener" target="_blank">1980 study of hand anthropometry commissioned by the US Army</a>. Both studies showed an average of 4 inches from the base of the palm to the base of the middle finger. The Georgia Tech study found an average of 2.95 inches from the base of the middle finger to the tip, and the US Army study found an average of 3.23 inches.</p><p>Our latest November 2022 test panel consisted of eight people. Three of our testers had smaller-than-average hands, three testers had roughly average-size hands, and two testers had larger-than-average hands. All of our panelists together averaged out to 4.1 inches, 3.6 inches, and 7.8 inches—so our panel was fairly representative.</p><p>In 2023, we tested the durability of superlight gaming mice with exposed circuit boards by spritzing them with <a href="https://www.pickeringtestsolutions.com/artificial-perspiration/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">chemically accurate artificial perspiration</a> every hour we spent gaming. Testing long-term corrosion from sweat will take months, but so far they’ve survived several hours of gameplay.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container"

Some of our larger-handed panel testers loved the Basilisk V3 (and strongly disliked the G502 X) for this reason, and several of our other testers also preferred the Basilisk V3 over the G502 X in terms of comfort.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_250546" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="Close view of the scroll wheel on the Razer Basilisk V3 gaming mouse." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4744.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-250546"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The Basilisk V3’s scroll wheel can toggle between ratcheted and smooth scrolling. <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Michael Murtaugh</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>The Basilisk V3 has a total of 11 customizable buttons, but one of them is located on the underside of the mouse. With the exception of that button (which is fine for its default purpose of swapping profiles between tasks rather than on the fly), all our testers found the Basilisk V3’s buttons mostly easy to reach and much less crowded than those on the G502 X. The Basilisk V3 also has a thumb clutch that’s easy to activate on purpose—unless you favor a palm grip and have very small hands—and hard to hit accidentally. (The clutch isn’t removable, but even our largest-handed testers didn’t find that to be an issue.)</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_250547" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="The Razer Basilisk V3 shown from the side, in black with blue light features." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4690.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-250547"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The Basilisk V3 has satisfying thumb buttons that are easy to differentiate. <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Michael Murtaugh/NYT Wirecutter</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>All the Basilisk V3’s buttons felt crisp and satisfying in our tests, and I especially liked the clicky thumb buttons. The mouse uses Razer’s optical switches, which a company representative told us were designed to solve the double-click issue that plagues all gaming mice with mechanical switches. We haven’t yet seen any reports of double-click problems with Razer’s optical switches, but we have seen a few reports of other quality-control concerns. (Should you encounter issues, we recommend exchanging the mouse through your retailer or, if you’re outside the return window, getting it repaired or replaced under Razer’s warranty.)</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_250548" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="View of the bottom of the Razer Basilisk V3 gaming mouse, showing pink lighting around the edge." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4693.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-250548"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The Basilisk V3 has a button on the underside for switching between different profiles. <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Michael Murtaugh</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>The Basilisk V3’s scroll wheel has a grippy texture and features crisp left-, right-, and down-clicks.

sensitivity level, and adjust the polling rate. Razer’s software even allows you to have separate sensitivities for horizontal and vertical movement.</p><p>Synapse 3 also lets you set up separate profiles tied to specific applications. For example, you can tie different DPI to different games, which is handy if you bounce between genres and don’t want to cycle through sensitivities when you switch from <em>PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds</em> to <em>XCOM 2,</em> for example. You can also set a thumb button to a macro in <em>Starcraft, </em>say, but make it a melee attack in <em>Overwatch 2</em>. In addition, Synapse 3 offers a guest mode, so you don’t need to make a Razer account to customize your mouse unless you want to save those settings to the cloud.</p><div style="padding-top:0%" class="dec011b9" data-testid="video-wrapper"><div class="f3fc663d"><div></div></div></div><p>The Basilisk V3 offers fun customizable RGB lighting underneath the mouse, on the scroll wheel, and on the Razer logo (which is blocked entirely by your palm when you’re holding the mouse). The Basilisk V3 weighs 3.56 ounces; it’s a bit heavier than the G502 X at 3.14 ounces, but we didn’t notice much of a difference.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><p>Several of our 2019 testers noted that the textured plastic on top of the Basilisk V3 felt cheap compared with the smoother plastic on some other models. But this texture makes the mouse easier to grip—especially for those who get sweaty fingers while gaming—and the Basilisk V3 doesn’t otherwise feel hollow, cheap, or creaky like the Razer DeathAdder V2 or Viper. It’s a solid mouse, one that we expect to hold up well over years of gaming.</p><p>Synapse 3 is not available for macOS, so you need a Windows computer to customize the buttons, sensitivity, and lighting on the Basilisk V3.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="runner-up-logitech-g502-x"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="runner-up-logitech-g502-x-panel"

But as of this writing, the G502 Hero has a 4.7-star rating (out of five) across <a class="product-link" href="https://amazon.com/product-reviews/B07GBZ4Q68/?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=YT83259" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Unknown" data-vars-outbound-link="https://amazon.com/product-reviews/B07GBZ4Q68/?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=YT83259" data-vars-store="Unknown" data-gtm-context="chapter_runner-up-logitech-g502-x" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Unknown" data-url="https://amazon.com/product-reviews/B07GBZ4Q68/?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=YT83259">more than 50,000 reviews on Amazon</a>. Although <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/lets-talk-about-amazon-reviews/">Amazon ratings have their flaws</a>, the vast majority of G502 Hero owners in the detailed customer reviews we read said they found the G502 Hero comfortable, and the G502 X has the exact same shape and identical button placement (except for its removable thumb clutch).</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_281524" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image" style="padding-bottom:66.65%;display:inline"><img alt="A close-up of the six front buttons plus scroll wheel on the Logitech G502 X gaming mouse." data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/11/gaming-mouse-2048px-6793.jpg" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-281524" loading="lazy"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The G7 and G8 buttons leave less room for your index finger on the left-click button. <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Michael Murtaugh</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>The G502 X has 12 buttons, 11 of which are customizable—more than on any of our other picks. Having more buttons can be handy for gaming, but this many can also get in the way of normal use. Several of our panel testers found the two buttons next to the left mouse button hard to reach. Others pointed out that those buttons (G7 and G8), which cycle between DPI settings by default, left less space for their index finger on the left-click button. Several of our smaller-handed testers had difficulty reaching the forward-most thumb clutch, an issue these testers also had with the Basilisk V3. The G502 X’s thumb clutch is removable, for those with longer thumbs who don’t want to press it accidentally. The Basilisk V3 has a similar number of buttons, but their placement leaves more room for grip variations compared with the G502 X.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_281530" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image" style="padding-bottom:34.77%;display:inline"><img alt="A side view of the Basilisk V3 next to the Logitech G502 X gaming mouse.

The G502 X employs Logitech’s new Lightforce hybrid switches, which the company claims “combine the performance and durability benefits of optical switches with the important actuation feel of mechanical switches.” Logitech’s <a href="https://patents.google.com/patent/US20230022831A1/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">patent for its hybrid switches</a> outlines several different ways in which this combination of mechanical and optical switches can work. In one application, the mechanical, contact-based switch wakes the mouse from a low-power state, and once the mouse is in a high-power state, the optical switch generates further click signals. In another application, the contact-based switch generates each click signal, while the optical switch confirms those signals.</p><p>A Logitech spokesperson confirmed via email that the hybrid switches in the G502 X send two signals—one from the mechanical switch and one from the optical switch—for each time a person clicks, but Logitech did not respond to any of our follow-up questions about how the mouse prioritizes or interprets those signals. We’ll keep an eye on owner reviews to see how these new switches hold up to long-term use.</p><div class="f669362e"><div class="ce43b2db fb2675ba" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article

That’s far fewer buttons than on the Basilisk V3 and G502 X, but it’s fine for most games. All the buttons are easy to reach and feel clicky and satisfying, but like any mouse with mechanical switches, the G203 can succumb to <a href="#should-you-worry-about-mechanical-switches-and-the-double-click-failure">double-click failure</a>.</p><p>Compared with the excellent scroll wheels on the Basilisk V3 and G502 X, the G203’s scroll wheel feels less defined and mushier in its ratcheting. But this scroll wheel is textured and easy to grip, and its click feels easier to activate and more responsive than that of the wheel on the similarly priced DeathAdder Essential.</p><p>Our budget pick is made from cheap-feeling textured plastic that creaks under heavy grip pressure. But it costs around $30, and it doesn’t feel flimsy or uncomfortable to use compared with many cheap mice. We expect it’ll hold up just fine to years of gaming.</p><p>Like the G502 X, the G203 works with Logitech’s G Hub software, where you can customize the button behaviors, DPI, and lighting. It has only one onboard memory slot, so you can bring only one profile with you between computers. That said, the Razer DeathAdder Essential, the G203’s closest competitor, has no onboard memory and requires you to log in to Razer’s Synapse software to save settings.</p><p>The G203 Lightsync has customizable RGB lighting zones on both the logo (which is blocked by your palm) and a cool light strip around the outside of the mouse. Many cheap gaming mice lack lighting entirely or, like the DeathAdder Essential, offer just one color.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03"

We also appreciate the small cavity on the underside for storing the 2.4 GHz USB dongle when you need to take your mouse with you.</p><p>Razer claims 90 hours of battery life for the Basilisk V3 Pro when it’s connected via the USB dongle and set to the default 1,000 Hz with the lights on at the default 33% brightness. We weren’t able to test the full battery life, but you can extend it by forgoing the lighting and lowering the polling rate to 500 Hz or 125 Hz when you’re not gaming. You can check the Basilisk V3 Pro’s remaining battery percentage in Razer’s Synapse software and tweak how long the mouse takes to enter sleep or low-power mode. The Basilisk V3 Pro comes with a braided USB-C cable for charging, and the mouse works in wired mode while it’s plugged in. But because the Basilisk V3 Pro’s charging port is recessed, most third-party cables don’t fit. We’d prefer a design that allows for any replacement cable rather than relying on Razer’s specially shaped plastic housing.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_281532" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image" style="padding-bottom:66.65%;display:inline"><img alt="The Razer Mouse Dock Pro with a Basilisk V3 Pro mouse docked on top of it.

It’s identical in shape and surface texture to the wired Basilisk V3, but it’s a stripped-down version, with quite a few notable differences. This model doesn’t have a thumb clutch, its scroll wheel can’t toggle between ratcheted and smooth scrolling, and it has no lighting. It has only six buttons: left-click, right-click, two buttons on the left side, scroll-click, and one button below the scroll wheel. The Basilisk X HyperSpeed also uses mechanical switches instead of Razer’s new optical switches—Razer told us that this design decision was intended to extend the battery life, since optical switches use more power—which means it’s susceptible to the <a href="#should-you-worry-about-mechanical-switches-and-the-double-click-failure">double-click problem</a>.</p><p>After seven months of daily use for work and gaming, our Basilisk X HyperSpeed’s left button developed double-click issues and became unable to hold continuous clicks properly. All wireless mice that use mechanical switches—basically all of them in this price range—are susceptible to this failure. We returned the unit to Razer to examine, and we confirmed that anyone experiencing this issue is covered under the included two-year warranty.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_250578" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="View from above of the wireless Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed, showing the placement of the top buttons and wheel." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-6664.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-250578"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The Basilisk X HyperSpeed doesn’t have as many buttons as the Basilisk V3 or the Basilisk V3 Pro. <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Michael Murtaugh</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>The Basilisk X HyperSpeed can connect via a 2.4 GHz USB dongle, and like the Basilisk V3 Pro, it uses Razer’s HyperSpeed wireless protocol.

Razer claims up to 285 hours of battery life for the Basilisk X HyperSpeed when it’s connected via USB and up to 450 hours when it’s connected via Bluetooth, provided that it’s set to 1,000 Hz. Because the Basilisk X HyperSpeed runs on an AA battery instead of an internal battery, Razer’s Synapse software can’t provide an exact battery-life percentage estimate, and we were unable to test the mouse’s full battery life ourselves. The Basilisk X HyperSpeed cannot work in wired mode or charge via a wire; when it dies, you need to replace the AA battery inside.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="should-you-worry-about-mechanical-switches-and-the-double-click-failure"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="should-you-worry-about-mechanical-switches-and-the-double-click-failure-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Should you worry about mechanical switches and the double-click failure?" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="10">Should you worry about mechanical switches and the double-click failure?</h2><div id="should-you-worry-about-mechanical-switches-and-the-double-click-failure-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="should-you-worry-about-mechanical-switches-and-the-double-click-failure" aria-hidden="false"><p>If your gaming mouse dies earlier than you expect, it’s most likely because the mechanical switches under the buttons have failed. The contact point inside these mechanical switches can degrade and cause the mouse to register a double-click when you click only once. This failure can happen for a variety of reasons, including worn or corroded switch contacts—caused by humidity, how hard you click, and even regular use—or the way gaming mouse software <a href="https://mouseclub.co/pages/mouse-switch-guide" rel="noopener" target="_blank">interprets the resulting click signal</a>. (An ordinary mouse can fail this way, too, but you’re probably not clicking as hard or as quickly on a spreadsheet or on Facebook as you are in <em>Dota 2</em>.)</p><p>One gaming mouse product designer told us that wireless mice are more susceptible to this problem because their lower voltage, which conserves battery life, can accelerate corrosion in the switch. <a href="https://www.ifixit.com/News/57357/more-pc-gaming-mice-should-follow-rogs-repairable-switches" rel="noopener" target="_blank">iFixit’s Arthur Shi explains</a> that “in a low-voltage switch, with possibly worn or corroded contacts, the amount of signal noise from the switch mechanism can overwhelm the mouse’s filters and let through phantom clicks.”</p><p>After reading thousands of gaming mouse reviews, we’ve discovered that this issue affects gaming mice with mechanical switches from every brand but impacts a relatively small percentage of owners. Companies also seem to cover this issue in their warranties and will swap out mice that develop this problem. So we don’t dismiss every gaming mouse that uses mechanical switches, but we do note the ones that do. We’ve also tried to get a sense of which gaming mice have a disproportionate number of early switch failures as documented in owner reviews.</p><p>While many companies continue to use mechanical switches, some have moved to optical switches, and others have released <a href="https://patents.google.com/patent/US20230022831A1/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">hybrid switches</a> that use both mechanical and optical switches. We haven’t seen any reports of double-click issues on optical or hybrid switches yet, but we have found reports of other quality-control issues affecting these switches.</p><p>Asus has taken a different approach to the problem by making the switches in some of its gaming mice easier for owners to repair. Many ROG mice have hot-swap sockets that allow owners to simply pull out the old switch and snap in a new one. (Replacing mechanical switches in other gaming mice is an ordeal that can involve removing glued-down mouse feet and uncommon screwdriver heads, and then desoldering the old switch and soldering the new one in.) We’d love to see more companies make their accessories easier to access and repair.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="other-good-gaming-mice"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="other-good-gaming-mice-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Other good gaming mice" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="11">Other good gaming mice</h2><div id="other-good-gaming-mice-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="other-good-gaming-mice" aria-hidden="false"><p><strong>If our budget wireless pick is out of stock:</strong> We recommend its successor, the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/55224/189269/4/159886/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/55224/189269/4/159886/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_other-good-gaming-mice" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="55224" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/55224/189269/4/159886/?merchant=Amazon">Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed</a>.

We eliminate mice with obvious comfort issues, poorly placed buttons, inferior build quality, and subpar buttons and scroll wheels. Then I spend hours using each of the finalists for regular productivity work and sessions of Overwatch 2 and Deep Rock Galactic. To test the mice’s wireless reliability, I use them on my gaming desktop more than 3 feet away from the receiver. Mouse comfort varies based on hand size, so we researched average hand sizes for adults using data compiled by the Georgia Tech Research Institute and a 1980 study of hand anthropometry commissioned by the US Army. Both studies showed an average of 4 inches from the base of the palm to the base of the middle finger. The Georgia Tech study found an average of 2.95 inches from the base of the middle finger to the tip, and the US Army study found an average of 3.23 inches. Our latest November 2022 test panel consisted of eight people. Three of our testers had smaller-than-average hands, three testers had roughly average-size hands, and two testers had larger-than-average hands. All of our panelists together averaged out to 4.1 inches, 3.6 inches, and 7.8 inches—so our panel was fairly representative. In 2023, we tested the durability of superlight gaming mice with exposed circuit boards by spritzing them with chemically accurate artificial perspiration every hour we spent gaming. Testing long-term corrosion from sweat will take months, but so far they’ve survived several hours of gameplay.","title":"How we tested","slug":"how-we-tested","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-caption","attribs":{"id":"attachment_250545","align":"alignnone","width":"2048"},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"img","attribs":{"class":"alignnone size-full wp-image-250545","src":"https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4654.jpg","alt":"The Razer Basilisk V3, our pick for the best gaming mouse, shown in black with pink light features.","width":"2048","height":"1365","noInlineStyles":true,"postType":"review"},"children":[],"dbData":{"productionCDN":true,"source":"wp-content/media/2022/04/gaming-mouse-2048px-4654.jpg"}},{"data":" ","type":"text"},{"data":" ","type":"comment"}],"dbData":{"credit":"Michael Murtaugh/NYT Wirecutter"}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-callout","attribs":{"type":"primary","id":"1"},"children":[],"dbData":{"ribbon":"Top pick","callouts":[{"name":"Razer Basilisk V3","title":"The best gaming mouse","images":{"full":"https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/49776/Razer-Basilisk-V3_20220426-124554_full.jpg"},"description":"The Basilisk V3 is comfortable for most hand sizes and grip types, has plenty of buttons, and offers customizable RGB underglow lighting.

It’s the most comfortable of all the wireless gaming mice we tested—it’s virtually identical to the wired Razer Basilisk V3 in size, shape, and build quality, and its buttons and scroll wheel are the same, too. The Basilisk V3 Pro also uses Razer’s optical switches and Synapse 3 software for customizing its performance, buttons, and RGB lighting. Our upgrade pick can connect via Bluetooth or a 2.4 GHz USB dongle; this dongle connection makes it just as fast and responsive as a wired gaming mouse, and we didn’t experience any connection issues in our tests. It has decent battery life, as well, and it can charge wirelessly via an optional dock. The Basilisk V3 Pro uses Razer’s HyperSpeed wireless protocol, which, like Logitech’s Lightspeed protocol, is designed to create a faster, more stable wireless connection. During our testing, with the dongle plugged into a desktop computer about 3 feet away, we didn’t experience any lag, latency, or connection issues. If you do encounter hiccups—because all USB 3.0 devices can emit wireless interference—the Basilisk V3 Pro includes an extender for its USB dongle so that you can place it closer to the mouse and farther from the source of interference. You can also connect the V3 Pro via Bluetooth, which can be more convenient for productivity tasks but isn’t always as responsive or reliable for gaming. By default, the Basilisk V3 Pro’s polling rate is 1,000 Hz (once every millisecond), the same rate as that of wired gaming mice. In our tests, we didn’t experience any lag or delayed inputs, and according to Rtings.com’s latency tests, the Basilisk V3 Pro is a little faster than even some wired mice. We also appreciate the small cavity on the underside for storing the 2.4 GHz USB dongle when you need to take your mouse with you. Razer claims 90 hours of battery life for the Basilisk V3 Pro when it’s connected via the USB dongle and set to the default 1,000 Hz with the lights on at the default 33% brightness. We weren’t able to test the full battery life, but you can extend it by forgoing the lighting and lowering the polling rate to 500 Hz or 125 Hz when you’re not gaming. You can check the Basilisk V3 Pro’s remaining battery percentage in Razer’s Synapse software and tweak how long the mouse takes to enter sleep or low-power mode. The Basilisk V3 Pro comes with a braided USB-C cable for charging, and the mouse works in wired mode while it’s plugged in. But because the Basilisk V3 Pro’s charging port is recessed, most third-party cables don’t fit. We’d prefer a design that allows for any replacement cable rather than relying on Razer’s specially shaped plastic housing. Razer also sells a version of the Basilisk V3 Pro that comes with a charging puck and the Razer Mouse Dock Pro, but they cost a lot more on top of an already expensive mouse, and you can’t use the mouse when it’s docked. The Qi charger puck and dock are also available separately (or as a bundle) if you want to buy them later, or if you want to use the cheaper charging puck with another Qi charger. In our testing, the puck was easy to install, and the magnetic dock stayed put on the desk and effectively charged the Basilisk V3 Pro overnight.

But it’s not quite as comfortable as our top picks, and it’s limited by Asus’s horrible Armoury Crate software. The Logitech G502 Hero is heavy and its mechanical switches can wear out. Our testers encountered issues with the thumb buttons on the following models: SteelSeries Rival 5, Corsair Nightsword RGB, HyperX Pulsefire Raid, and Roccat Kone XP. The Razer DeathAdder V3 isn’t as comfortable as the Basilisk, its clicks feel less crisp, and it lacks RGB. Its predecessor, the Razer DeathAdder V2, feels cheap and hollow. The Asus TUF Gaming M4 Air, Cooler Master MM711, SteelSeries Aerox 3 and Aerox 5, and their wireless counterparts are superlight mice with honeycomb-style cutouts. Our sweatiest-handed panelist found that this design didn’t make a significant difference in ventilation or hand temperature, and iFixit’s Arthur Shi and Kevin Purdy shared our concerns about drink spills and “grime and sweat dripping onto the PCB and eventually causing issues.” The Roccat Kone Pro had an unpleasantly slick surface that felt like trying to grip a bar of wet soap. Our testers ranked the following models as less comfortable than our picks: HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2, SteelSeries Prime, Prime Mini, and Prime+, Corsair Sabre RGB Pro, Corsair M65 RGB Ultra, Logitech G403 Hero, Razer Viper 8K, and Roccat Burst Pro. Our testers found the Microsoft Pro IntelliMouse and SteelSeries Sensei Ten downright uncomfortable. Budget wired The Razer DeathAdder Essential is a bit large for average-size hands, and it lacks onboard memory. The Asus TUF Gaming M3 Gen II has a comfortable shape but Asus’s Armoury Crate software is excruciatingly slow and unreliable. Our testers found the following models uncomfortable: Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini, HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless, SteelSeries Rival 3, Roccat Burst Core, Corsair Harpoon RGB Pro, Corsair Katar Pro XT, Corsair M55 RGB Pro, and HyperX Pulsefire Core. Wireless Our panel testers preferred Razer’s Basilisk V3 Pro over the Logitech G502 X Plus and G502 X Lightspeed for its less crowded button placement and more robust RGB lighting. The Asus ROG Gladius III Wireless has replaceable switches, but Asus told us that the battery cannot be replaced without sending the mouse in for repair. These models all rely on mechanical switches that are susceptible to the double-click failure: Asus ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition, Logitech G Pro Wireless, Logitech G Pro X Superlight, Logitech G502 Lightspeed, and HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless. The Logitech G705 is a gaming mouse designed for people with smaller hands, but of our three smallest-handed panel testers, the first said “I hate this,” the second said “it feels too small and uncomfortable,” and the third said “it feels really, really small” and “I kind of hate it.” And if that mouse is too small, then the Razer Atheris is a mouse for ants. The Razer Viper V2 Pro, Razer Deathadder V2 Pro, and Razer Viper Ultimate feel cheap. The leatherette grips on the HyperX Pulsefire Dart get gross and are difficult to clean, and it lacks dongle storage. The Alienware Wireless Gaming Mouse (AW620M) automatically installs software when plugged in without any prompt or consent. The Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro is too heavy, and it failed to glide smoothly across a desk. Our testers disliked the slick surfaces of the Roccat Kone Pro Air, Kone XP Air, and Burst Pro Air. Our testers found the following models uncomfortable: Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro, Logitech G703 Lightspeed Hero, SteelSeries Prime Wireless, Corsair Nightsabre Wireless RGB, Corsair M75 Air Wireless, Corsair Darkstar Wireless RGB, Razer Naga Pro, Steelseries Prime Mini Wireless, Corsair M65 RGB Ultra Wireless, MSI Clutch GM51, Asus ROG Spatha X, Logitech G903 Lightspeed, and the Mad Catz R.A.T. DWS. Budget wireless The Asus ROG Keris Wireless AimPoint is comfortable but limited by Asus’s Armoury Crate software. Compared to the Basilisk X HyperSpeed, the Razer Viper V3 Hyperspeed’s shape isn’t as comfortable and its side buttons aren’t as easy to press. Our testers found these models uncomfortable or cheap feeling: Keychron M3, Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed, Asus TUF M4 Wireless, Razer Orochi V2, Cooler Master MM311, Cooler Master MM712, MSI Clutch GM31, and Roccat Kone Air.
