And when we say “ambidextrous,” we mean it: the Razer Viper Ultimate is designed for left- and right-handed use. Many of the top mice have symmetrical shapes, but the Viper is one of the few with thumb buttons on both sides. So if you’re a left-handed user who wants thumb buttons in the proper place, this is likely your best bet.

The screen glitches as the mouse now rests atop a high-tech weighing scale in a white futuristic lab. Cooler Master’s MM710 is a small, lightweight gaming mouse that’s one of the lightest mice available. Weighing in at just 53 grams, the MM710 is the perfect mouse for users who want a tiny and effortlessly light mouse. The camera cuts to a closeup of the mouse, as we see strings of white pixels burst out from its base and off the weighing scale. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight is a fixture on our mouse lists, and for a good reason: it’s an excellent mouse. Its top-class sensor, brilliant shape, and ultra-lightweight body (especially for a wireless mouse) make it a tough act to beat.

The most impressive aspect of the G Pro X Superlight is that Logitech has managed to squeeze a 70-hour battery into a 63-gram mouse. That’s light even for a wired mouse, but it’s outstanding for a wireless mouse, especially one without honeycomb cut-outs.

A closeup top-down of the weighing scale’s display shows the weight of the mouse rapidly dropping from 78g to 64g. A grid of red lasers fan across the camera, as the mouse is transported from the lab to a futuristic esports arena. The mouse floats high above the arena, pulling all electrical power from the environment into itself, causing the arena to go dark once again.

We believe that the DeathAdder Essential’s tried-and-tested (if outdated) sensor and switches make up for the weight and mediocre cable. And then there’s the shape, which is still one of the best right-handed ones you’ll find on a gaming mouse.The Razer Viper Ultimate is a top-end gaming mouse with all the features you’d want in a premium product. You get low-latency wireless connectivity, a high-quality sensor, and high-endurance optical switches, all wrapped up in an ambidextrous, lightweight body. It’s also an exceedingly heavy mouse at 96 grams (3.38 oz). It comes with the territory, as many large ergonomic mice weigh in around the 100-gram mark. But even if it’s normal, it doesn’t stop the DeathAdder Essential from feeling a bit old-fashioned to use. A greenish-blue light turns on as all the prototypes become holographic, save for one in the center. How tiny? The MM710 has one of the narrowest grip widths on our list, at only 2.15 inches. It’s also relatively short at 4.6 inches, making it an excellent option for fingertip grip users. It’s also small enough for palm grip use regardless of hand size, although we feel that ergonomic mice suit that particular grip better. Razer’s updated Orochi V2 is a wireless mouse that splits the difference between low-end battery-powered wireless mice and high-end gaming-focused options. It combines a high-quality sensor and switches with AA and AAA battery support for some of the longest battery life you’ll get from a wireless gaming-grade mouse.
