The Best Wireless Gaming Mouse - Summer 2024 Mice Reviews

The Razer Viper V3 Pro is the best wireless gaming mouse we've tested. It's the successor to the Razer Viper V2 Pro, our previous top pick, and improves on it in several ways. It features a new, more subdued design and a familiar shape that's ideal for a wide variety of hand sizes and grip types. It's now even lighter and sports Razer's updated Focus Pro 35K sensor, one of the most accurate and consistent sensors we've ever tested. It supports a maximum wireless polling rate of 8000Hz out of the box and delivers some of the lowest click and sensor latency figures available, providing an incredibly responsive gaming experience.

If you don't mind missing out on absolutely bleeding-edge performance, Razer's previous generation Viper V2 Pro is still an outstanding choice, and it's currently available for cheaper than ever. Lastly, we couldn't forgive ourselves for not mentioning the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro as a possible alternative. It delivers outstanding raw performance similar to our top pick, but it's designed exclusively for right-handed users and is a better option for larger-sized hands, especially if you prefer using a palm grip.

At an upper mid-range price point, we recommend the Logitech G502 X PLUS or its cheaper, non-RGB variant, the G502 X LIGHTSPEED. It's a multi-genre gaming mouse with 12 fully programmable buttons and a comfortable right-handed shape. It also features hybrid optical-mechanical switches, which Logitech advertises as being more reliable than standard mechanical switches. Its scroll wheel has a free-scrolling mode and left and right tilt inputs, which are handy features for quickly scrolling through documents and browsing online between gaming sessions.

Its raw performance is outstanding, with remarkably low click latency and a very precise sensor. It's also even more efficient than the previous version, boasting a battery life of up to 130 hours with RGB lighting off. That said, its biggest weakness is still its weight. It won't be nearly as effortless to move quickly and accurately as a dedicated lightweight gaming mouse like our top pick, the Razer Viper V3 Pro, meaning it's not ideal if you only play reaction-based titles like FPS games. Still, the overall strength of this mouse is its versatility.

We recommend the Pulsar X2V2 as the best mid-range wireless gaming mouse. It has a simple yet attractive design that won't look out of place on any desk setup. It feels good in your hand, with a comfortable medium-sized symmetrical shape and a fairly wide rear hump that makes it well-suited for most hand sizes and grip types. It's also very lightweight, coming in at just over 54g, making it incredibly easy to make fast and accurate movements. Its performance is top-notch, too. It uses PixArt's flagship PAW 3395 sensor, delivering outstanding wireless performance that almost matches the gaming performance offered by our top pick, the Razer Viper V3 Pro. It also supports up to a 4000Hz polling rate if you buy the 4K Dongle, which is sold separately.

Overall, this is a superb lightweight gaming mouse ideal for fast-paced and competitive titles where every millisecond counts. Compared to the V3 Pro, it only has a few downsides. For starters, its optical switches don't feel quite as satisfying as Razer's implementation. Also, the mouse has an unconventional baseplate design that leaves the inside open to dust and debris.

The newly released Pulsar Xlite V3 is an excellent alternative if you'd like a mouse with a right-handed shape. It has all the same internal parts and even weighs virtually the same as the X2V2, but it has a comfortable shape that's designed specifically for right-handed users.

We recommend the Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed for a more affordable option at a lower mid-range price point. This mouse is very similar to the Logitech G502 X PLUS. It has the same fundamental ergonomic right-handed shape and delivers comparable high-end gaming performance. One of the major differences is that this mouse uses AA batteries for power. Secondly, while you can connect it wirelessly with its USB receiver for competitive gaming when you need the best performance out of your mouse, you can also connect it using Bluetooth when playing more casual titles or browsing to stretch out the battery life dramatically.

That said, the downsides of this mouse are that it doesn't have as many programmable buttons as the Logitech, and its scroll wheel also lacks a free-scrolling mode and left and right tilt inputs. Also, like the Logitech, it's fairly heavy, so it may not be a good fit if you only play fast-paced, reaction-based games that require quick mouse movements. Altogether, this is an outstanding wireless option if you want a comfortable ergonomic mouse for more casual gaming and want to stretch out that battery life without worrying about charging cables.

If you don't like the large right-handed shape of the Razer, check out the Keychron M3 Mini. It's much smaller and lighter, and it still offers excellent gaming performance for the price. It has fewer programmable buttons than the Razer, and its scroll wheel lacks tilt inputs and free scrolling. Also, its small size makes it less for those with large hands.

The top budget wireless gaming mouse we've tested is the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED. Depending on your region, this mouse may also be known as the Logitech G304 LIGHTSPEED, but it's the same mouse. This mouse connects with a LIGHTSPEED USB receiver and has an impressive battery life, advertised at up to 250 hours with a single AA battery. It also has a cable to extend the receiver signal to get the best wireless performance possible. Under the hood, its sensor is very consistent, and its click latency is excellent, providing a responsive-feeling experience for gaming in any genre. You can adjust the CPI sensitivity settings very precisely, and its egg-like shape is a comfortable option for claw or fingertip grippers for nearly all hand sizes.

Impressively, the build quality closely resembles some of Logitech's higher-priced options. However, its feet are less high-quality, and swapping these feet out for third-party alternatives is a popular modification for enthusiasts. As an older entry, this mouse is heavier than recent gaming options. Consider more lightweight options if you exclusively play fast-paced, reaction-based games.
