Best Wireless Gaming Mouse - The Ultimate Guide

Just a couple of years ago you’d be almost ridiculed for saying you were a competitive gamer using a wireless mouse. That’s because they often had a spotty connection and subpar sensors which means that they were the last thing you’d want to be using if you needed to rely on crispy clean aim. Even today some people still believe that a wireless mouse can never be as good as their wired counterparts.

Luckily things have changed over the past couple of years. Companies like Logitech and Razer have brought wireless mice to a whole new level, to the point where the most used gaming mouse in our analyzed games is a wireless one. If you’re ready to cut the cord there’s no better time to do it than now, but just like with any other type of gaming peripheral it’s important that you get one that matches your preferences. To help you with that we’ve created this list with five of the best wireless gaming mice that you can get right now.

1). Logitech G Pro X Superlight

The pro choice

The Logitech G Pro Wireless was released a couple of years ago now, but it is still one of the best wireless gaming mice out there. It took competitors a long time to catch up to what that mouse had to offer, leading to the original G Pro Wireless mouse being the most widely adopted mouse we’ve seen since we started tracking these metrics.

That said: competitors did catch up. Not a lot of them did (developing flawless wireless technology is a costly and difficult task) but in recent times we’ve definitely seen wireless products that match the G Pro Wireless. And then Logitech released the G Pro X Superlight and upped the ante once again.

The Superlight does much of what made its older sibling so well-loved: it has that same (very neutral) safe shape, uses Logitech’s flawless HERO sensor and it uses Logitech’s flawless LIGHTSPEED technology. The kicker here is that the Superlight did not steal its name. Coming in at a massively impressive 62 grams it would be a very light mouse if it had a cable attached to it, but achieving that weight in a wireless mouse with a rechargeable battery without cutting holes in the shell is an extraordinary feat of engineering and design.

The Superlight also comes with better (pure PTFE) stock feet and has seen small changes to the main clicks in order to reduce the chances of accidental double clicks, and inside the package you’ll find specifically designed and cut grip tape, but otherwise you’re getting pretty much the same as what you got with the original G Pro Wireless. If you’re someone who doesn’t care about weight (the feet of the original G Pro can be easily replaced since so many companies make aftermarket feet for it) you can still go for the original G Pro Wireless (which should be reduced in price) but if you want that cutting edge low weight tech then the Superlight is a massively impressive piece of equipment.

2). Razer Viper Ultimate

Great runner up

Our readers often ask us if they should get the Logitech G Pro Wireless or this Razer Viper Ultimate, and the answer is that it really depends. The Razer Viper Ultimate is without a doubt one of the best wireless gaming mice in town at this point in time: it houses Razer’s flawless Focus+ sensor, has on board memory, 70 hours of battery life, PTFE mouse feet, and a safe ambidextrous shape. All of that is found in a mouse that weighs around 74 grams which is impressive for a wireless mouse.

Razer’s Hyperspeed wireless technology is flawless, too. There’s no lag or dropped connections when using the mouse so this really is a top performing gaming mouse on all fronts. The included charging dock makes topping up the battery a breeze, and the fact that you can place the receiver in said dock makes for a tidy and elegant solution to have your receiver as close to your mousepad as possible.

Since this, just like the G Pro Wireless, is an ambidextrous wireless mouse with a rechargeable battery and flawless ingame performance it’s a difficult one to call. We gave the first spot to the G Pro X Superlight because of the fantastically low weight they achieved there, but we should say that the performance differences between the two mice are very minimal, all things considered. Choosing between the Viper Ultimate and the G Pro will vastly depend on what your personal preferences are since the price differences generally (this of course depends on your location and so on) aren’t very large either.

A potential downside of the Viper Ultimate is the fact that it has an early version of Razer’s Optical Mouse Switch. Since the release of these switches Razer has vastly improved the click feeling so newer batches might have crispier clicks, though we haven’t been able to test that for ourselves yet.
