Best wireless gaming mouse in 2024

Without a doubt, the Corsair M75 Air is the best wireless gaming mouse you can buy right now. It may not be the lightest, fastest, or cheapest, but what it does is take everything you want in an ultra-light gaming mouse, and make it work without compromise.

A standard 2,000Hz polling rate is an improvement over many base rates, but until this feature becomes an obvious improvement in games, pushing for 8,000Hz like some other gaming mice, is diminished returns.

A stylish matte coating also doesn’t attract grime and dirt like many others tend to. The palm grip is comfortable and helps the M75 Air glide effortlessly across any surface type.

The Corsair M75 Air strips away a lot of necessary features and simply focuses on making what is left work better than any other mouse we’ve seen in a long time. The dual connectivity between 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth can drastically change the expected battery life, and the lack of an onboard DPI are such minor infractions against the M75 Air that it’s hard not to recommend it to any gamer who wants the perfect esports peripheral.

If you’re after the best wireless gaming mouse that money can buy, you won’t find anything quite so impressive as the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro. The first of a few Razer mice on this list, but one of the best products the manufacturer has ever brought out – it’s comfortable and was made with ergonomics in mind, it’s ultra-precise and is intended for use in esports, and its battery will keep going for a whole 90 hours. What more do we need to say?

Well, in the name of balance, we should say something against it. If you’re a fan of RGB lighting, you’re going to be disappointed, because it doesn’t have any RGB zones. In fact, in general, it just kind of looks like a run-of-the-mill mouse, and, hey, it’s what’s on the inside that counts, right? While true, you’d be forgiven for wanting something a little flashier considering the price.

Overall, there’s really not much to criticize about this mouse (unless you count the price tag). Most people will find that even after long periods, it remains comfortable to hold, and it particularly excels if you want precision in FPS games. Other genres might not benefit quite so much, especially those that might be easier with more than five customizable buttons, but in terms of the sheer quality of build and the level of control, it provides, the DeathAdder V3 Pro is unbeaten.

The Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless is a gaming mouse that doesn’t compromise on specs or break the bank. It’s a cheap clicker that boasts low latency, six reprogrammable buttons, and a lightweight form factor that’ll feel pleasant in your palm.

Corsair knows how to make a top gaming mouse, so it’s no surprise that the Harpoon RGB Wireless is a reliable rodent. While cheaper mice often cut the cord using a traditional dongle, its additional Bluetooth abilities will help you connect to your PC, gaming laptop, or even the Steam Deck.

Of course, if you do decide to use the Harpoon RGB Wireless dongle, you’ll benefit from Corsair’s 1ms Slipstream tech. It’s also rocking a 10,000 DPI optical sensor, so your shots should strike true in competitive shooters like Call of Duty: Warzone.

The Harpoon RGB wireless’ aesthetic is understated compared to other entries on this list (here’s looking at you, Roccat), but it still looks the part thanks to its logo illumination and matt black finish. That said, it’s hard to appreciate the peripheral’s subtle light show when it’s blocked out by your sweaty hand, so we can’t help but wonder whether leaving that feature out would have reduced its cost even further.

Ultralight wireless gaming mice often take a big bite out of your bank account, but the Cooler Master MM731 Wireless proves you don’t need to blow your entire peripheral budget trying to keep things trim. It doesn’t feel quite as premium as our top pick, but it packs far more value into its price being just a gram heavier and a whopping 43% cheaper.

At 59g, it makes most other wireless mice feel chunky. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight is 60g, the SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless 2022 is 68g, and the Razer Viper Ultimate comes in at 74g, and these are all mice that cost far more.

It achieves this weight without honeycomb cutouts, which can be a pain to clean. Instead, we’re left with a far more professional-looking rodent in black or white that doesn’t look out of place in an office. It still sports some RGB with the hexagonal Cooler Master logo lighting up under your palm, but you can always adjust the brightness in the MasterPlus software.

The app also lets you fine-tune other aspects of the device, like the polling rate, lift-off distance, angle snapping, DPI sensitivity, macros, and power-saving modes to ensure you get the most out of your battery life. If power ever becomes a concern, simply switch it over to Bluetooth and you’ll get a good few hours more out of the Cooler Master MM731 Wireless before you need to plug it in again.

The Razer Orochi V2 has everything you want in the ideal wireless travel mouse: a miniature size that doesn’t take up too much room in the rucksack, a place to store the USB dongle under the shell so it doesn’t go missing, and a battery life that spans just short of 40 days on a single charge when connecting via Bluetooth.

Unlike the other mice on this list, there’s nowhere to plug a wire into the Orochi V2. Instead, it’s powered using either a single AA battery or two AAA batteries. You get the longest battery life using two smaller batteries, but don’t try to mix and match using both at the same time because you might break the thing. After all, it is only dinky.

It isn’t just the most travel-friendly wireless gaming mouse, it’s also the most flashy. For an extra $20 / £20, you can grab a Razer Customs shell to swap the standard black or white one for something a bit more eye-catching. From games like Cyberpunk 2077 to artwork from Razer, artists, and the community, there are plenty of designs to choose from so you can thread your PC setup together.

Much like the Cooler Master MM731 Wireless, the Orochi V2 doesn’t compromise much to keep a low price point. It has a sharp sensor, is ultralight, and although I’ve never actually met anyone who’s used up all the clicks in a mouse’s lifecycle, Razer says it’ll last three times longer than the Logitech G Pro X Superlight.

Looking for something flashy? The Roccat Kone XP Air is one of the flashiest RGB gaming mouse options out there, and its innards look like sci-fi biotech. The clicker’s unique LED ribs piece through what almost looks like opaque plastic at a glance, while the scroll wheel is clad with light tubing that relays the spectacular colors dwelling within.

Of course, it takes more than RGB razzle dazzle to make it on our top wireless gaming mouse list, and our Roccat Kone XP Air review backs up its reliable rodent status. It boasts 1,000Hz poling abilities that pair perfectly with the best FPS games, and its clicky optical switches are rated to withstand one million clicks – a lot of headshots in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Roccat’s Kone XP Air package also includes a nifty wireless charging cradle, and it’s infused with the same RGB shenanigans as its gaming mouse counterpart. You can even things up using Swarm – a comprehensive toolkit that covers button mapping and lighting customization.

Admittedly, the Kone XP Air comes with a premium price tag attached, and its aesthetic won’t fit in with every gaming desk setup. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a striking RGB gaming mouse that cuts the cord, Roccat’s peripheral peacock checks almost all the boxes.

The struggle to find a good Southpaw gaming mouse is hard enough without also trying to cut the cord. Luckily, the Logitech 903 Lightspeed still wows years later, with removable side buttons that let you set it up right-handed, left-handed, or a combination of both if you’re feeling brave enough to use your pinky finger – we never could master that.

It has quite a bit more heft than the others on this list at 110g, but it comes with a distinct plastic and metal build quality that usually only comes with Logitech mice. This includes a 4D mechanical infinite scroll wheel you can lock and unlock to freely spin down a webpage, which is one of our favorite features that, sadly, rarely appears on newer rodents.

Under the hood is Logitech’s renowned 25K Hero sensor, which does more than boast an obscenely high sensitivity we don’t even use half of. It’s known for being one of the most reliable sensors on the market, with greater efficiency and accuracy than most of its rivals.

It goes without saying that you charge the device by plugging it in, but if you pair it with a Logitech Powerplay mouse pad, you’ll never need to suffer a cord again. Unlike Qi charging mice such as the Corsair Dark Core RGB, you can use the mouse as its juices up so the battery never runs out. The mat also acts as your wireless dongle, so you’re not taking up more than a single USB slot. Of course, the cost starts to add up, but it’s a fair price for a level of convenience no one else provides.

With its lightweight design and an impressive sensor that can reach up to 30,000 DPI, it’s easy to recommend the Razer Viper V2 Pro as the best wireless gaming mouse for FPS games. It’s comfortable to hold and will give you the level of speed and precision necessary to dominate in online shooters.

Though it lacks any RGB lighting, it still looks pretty slick. Also, good news for PUBG fans, because there’s a special variant that sports a design inspired by the game. Although you should keep in mind that you’ll be paying a little more if you go for that one. The point is, this mouse doesn’t fail in the aesthetics department.

Where it does fail, however, is in being accessible to left-handed gamers. Earlier versions of the  Razer Viper featured buttons specifically placed to make gaming easier for left-handed users too, but they’ve been sacrificed in the name of making the mouse even lighter. Not a problem for some, but we suspect it will be a deal-breaker for our left-handed readers.
