Best Gaming Mice Of 2024

When looking for the right gaming mouse, you'll want to find one that fits your hand size and is suitable for your preferred grip type. It should also have a high polling rate and low click latency. Mice aren't one size fits all, and you'll want to choose a mouse that complements the games you like.

If you’re a performance-focus gamer, get the OP1 8K.

Do you have anything in your ratings to qualify how likely the switches are likely to fail? In the past 5 years, I've had a Logitech G903 and G502 mice both have switches no longer able to reliably register clicks/registering an early release, when the switches on my 10+ year old Logitechs still work just fine. Counter intuitively, this likely happens more on switches/mice rated for larger click lives: modern mice don't supply the specified wetting voltages for their switches, thus resulting in poor longevity.

Almost every mouse was a Razer or Logitech, which have software they want to run in the background that is relatively resource heavy. I wouldn't even consider a Razer until they stop trying to install Synapse the moment they're plugged in. At least the Logitech don't try to force you to use the software. but a lot of features like button mapping are locked to it.

Personally, I am a fan of the Keychron M6 which is offered with 4k polling rate and the software doesn't always try to run if you install it, or the new Lemokey G1 which offers 8k polling, can be programmed through their web app, and doesn't require an install. Although it has nothing to do with performance, I also enjoyed the little keyboard shaped dongle their 4k polling rate mice come with. I have 2 M6's and although they feel cheaper than Logitech's soft-touch coating on the MX series mice (primarily for work not gaming), Logitech's coating on the newer MX started disintegrating after less than year of regular work use. I also like that after I mapped the tilt scroll wheel function to keyboard shortcuts for tab switching I didn't have to continue using the software on the M6, while the Logitech doesn't use the custom mapping without Options+ running for me.

Any idea which has the quietest clicks?

This is a weird list. No mention of any Endgame Gear mouse? Best wired XM2 8k or OP1 8k. Best wireless claw mouse XM2w 4k. Only Viper V3 makes sense here but it also has annoying and heavy software, which you want to uninstall and quite bad click feeling in main buttons.

Hitscan Hyperlight just came out btw. Should be the best-built and shaped 40g claw/fingertip mouse out there. It was probably released just after you had started testing lol. And it should only land at Canadian stores in the next week or two, otherwise you’d have to order from the US. They did say they pay the duties, though.
Also, Finalmouse is a thing. Good luck getting one, though 😂

No ROCCAT? Do you test them? I think they are underrepresented in general.
