Best Wireless Mouse – Top 10 Wireless Mice for Gaming in 2020

It is not only the interior specifications that make this mouse unique but also it’s ultra-lightweight and ambidextrous design. Weighing in at only 80 grams, it is exceptionally smooth to slide across the desk and every move entirely without resistance. Although it uses thin, lightweight materials, its endoskeleton design feels incredibly sturdy and qualitative.

The smooth lightweight design is perfectly complemented by the frankly outrageous horsepower present in this mouse. Its 16K Hero gaming sensor is perhaps the quickest and most precise sensor on the market and can handle up to 400 IPS and 16.000 DPI which is unheard of in a wireless mouse.

Not only is the mouse absurdly powerful, but it is also incredibly power efficient due to its Lipo Battery and low consumption sensor. It is advertised to last up to 48 hours of constant gaming with LED lights turned on and up to 60 hours without, and in our testing, we saw no signs of that being an exaggeration. Even if you do manage to use all of its power, it charges fully up in less than an hour, and if that isn’t good enough, you can also play while it loads. And if even that isn’t enough you can also invest in the Logitech G PowerPlay Wireless Charging System which is essentially a mousepad that keeps your mouse charged at all times.

Final Verdict

The Logitech G Pro Wireless is very expensive, but it is also the best wireless gaming mouse on the market today and has enough performance and features to justify the hefty price tag.

While I would never recommend casual gamers to spend this kind of money on their equipment, I do highly recommend it to any gamer that takes their performance seriously and especially those players that enjoy competitive games will reap the benefits of this monster.

Very few wireless mice live up to the standard of professional and high-end competitive gaming, but the Rival 650 is one of them. It comes packed with a duo optical sensor that can provide you with a CPI speed of up to 12.000 and down to a true 1-to-1 experience. A 1-to-1 sensor means that your cursor will move the exact amount that you move the mouse which can be a great tool to have in games that require immense accuracy, such as CS:GO or Overwatch. In other words, the duo sensor system on this bad boy is off the charts, and it is supported by a top of the line lift of distance of only 0.5mm.

It is safe to say that the SteelSeries Rival 650 has the power and specifications to compete at a high level, but it is not only a powerhouse, it is also customizable in almost every way. With the SteelSeries software, you can easily adjust essential factors such as the speed, acceleration, or lift-off distance, but you can also customize the 8-zone RGB lighting to any color you want. On top of that, it also comes with adjustable weights, so whether you like your mouse light or heavy the Rival 650 is an excellent option for you.

Lastly, it comes with above-average battery life, and it can be used for a bit over 24 hours straight without running low and even when you run low it only takes an hour to recharge it to full.

The only real downside I had with the Rival 650 is it’s the dependency on the latest SteelSeries firmware. The mouse can have slight connect issues and stutter if it is not kept up to date. Luckily it takes less than a minute to update, and they don’t come in too often.

The Rival 650 is without a doubt one of the best wireless gaming mice on the market right now, and if you are a fan of first-person shooters, then the stellar duo-sensor from Steelseries will work wonders for your in-game performance.

Where do we begin? This mouse has everything from one of the best optical sensors(16K Hero) to top end battery life and almost everything in between. Its predecessor(G900) was the most potent wireless mouse for the past many years and only recently beaten by the G Pro Wireless which is also from Logitech. The good news is that with the release of the G Pro version the G903 also upgraded and is now tied for the spot of the most powerful wireless gaming mouse on the market.

The battery life has been upgraded significantly and you can now play for up to 180 hours without any issues. However, if you want to have the RGB lighting activated then you will have to settle for 140 hours of game time.

The RGB color options light up the mouse well without it being too flashy. This, combined with the overall stellar, futuristic look of the G903, makes it one of the most attractive mice today.

The latest addition to the mouse is the Powerplay feature, which is only relevant if you are willing to spend the additional money on a powerplay mouse pad. However, if you choose to get the Powerplay mouse pad, your G900 mouse will be charging at all times while being used on top of that mouse pad. Meaning your mouse will never run out of battery and will never lose its edge.

The new 16K Hero sensor is also a huge upgrade with unmatched report rate and a DPI range of 100-16000, so no matter how you like to play, the G903 has got you covered.

The Logitech G903 is pricey, but honestly, we don’t blame it. With its professional level of performance and high material quality, it will be well worth your money in the long run.

We feel this is one that rivals or surpasses most of its competitors. It is one of the very few wireless gaming mice that works as good as its wired counterparts. So if you take gaming seriously, this mouse is a well worth investment.

The minimalistic design is vintage SteelSeries, and the overall design is extremely comfortable, irrespective of the grip style employed. The claw fingertip grip is suggested for maximum comfort.

A weird thing we noticed was that the mouse needs to be seated just right for charging to take place. Most of the time, we may merely place the mouse quickly, and even though it looks right, the mouse doesn’t charge. A more straightforward design should undoubtedly have been employed for ease of use.

What we did like was that you could customize everything from lift distance, DPI, and more. The laser sensor delivers excellent precision, and this mouse has excellent acceleration for a wireless variant.

To sum up, this mouse does deliver great performance for the avid gamer and also offers excellent customizability to the SteelSeries engine software. The mouse falls a bit short of justifying the price tag due to the cons we outlined earlier, plus the customer support might be a challenge to get through at times too. If you prefer the Sensei ambidextrous design over the one of the Rival, then this might still be a good choice, but overall we feel like the Rival  650 is an upgrade in most ways.

The G703 has two features that define it as the wireless mouse of the future, and those two are Lightspeed and Powerplay technology.

First, let us talk about Lightspeed. It is the latest in Logitech wireless technology that allows for much more frequent and precise signaling from mouse to receiver. The Lightspeed tech works perfectly fine, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised, through many hours of testing, there was no sign of frequency or signal drops. It’s not many years ago that I would never consider using a wireless mouse for gaming as they usually had performance issues. However, with the progress we see with mice like the G703, it won’t be long before they are just as good as their wired counterparts.

Secondly, we have to talk about Powerplay, which is Logitech’s latest wireless charging technology. Now, it’s important to mention that this is only relevant if you are buying the Powerplay mouse pad as well. The Powerplay feature removes one of the most annoying aspects of wireless gaming, battery, and loss of performance due to lack of power. The mouse pad works in sync with the Powerplay receiver to wirelessly charge the mouse while on use. Meaning your mouse will never run out of power while you use it together with this specific mouse pad. On top of that, the mouse pad is top-notch quality and enhances the natural performance of the G703 as well.

Now, not everyone is going to want to pay extra for the Powerplay feature and don’t worry. The alternative is still pretty great. The wireless adapter that you use for Powerplay can also be used with a USB that you can plug directly into your PC. This means that whenever power runs a bit low, you can always plug it in and use it as a wired mouse until power is back up again. So whether you buy with or without Powerplay, the G703 is one of the most seamless wireless mice on the market.

The G703 is not only ripe with high-tech features but also high-end performance. It uses the PMW3366 optical sensor, which is a bigger deal than you might realize. Many professionals regard this sensor as the best gaming sensor in the world due to its incredible acceleration, precision, and filtering. It is rarely seen in wireless mice due to its requirements, but Logitech managed to crack the code with the new Lightspeed series. It is providing us with a wireless mouse that uses one of the best sensors in the world.

The design and ergonomics are pretty standard to Logitech, which is only a good thing. The signature Logitech body is one of the most ergonomic shapes in the industry, and especially palm and claw grippers will love this one. On top of being comfortable to use, it is also very lightweight and comes in at only 107 grams. The body is also conveniently covered with up to 6 programmable buttons which all use the Advanced Button Tensioning which use metal springs to give it an almost mechanical feel and excellent tactile feedback.

Final Verdict

For the price, the Logitech G703 is our absolute favorite wireless mouse in 2019. Partly due to its high-tech features such as Powerplay and Lightspeed, but that is not all. It offers the entire package, with incredible ergonomics, fantastic performance and the latest technology to back it up.

So unless you want to pay the additional money for the G900 or G Pro Wireless or hate Logitech in general, then this mouse will be perfect for anyone looking for exceptional wireless performance.

We were very excited to try the Logitech G602 since we have so much love for the G502, and I hoped that this was mainly just a wireless version. While it doesn’t match the performance of the G502, it still has some desirable features, and for casual gaming, this is a superb option.

This wireless gaming mouse is as good as they come in this price range. Firstly its battery life is just insane(250 hours), which is a crucial point when looking at wireless gaming equipment. This is possible due to the high-accuracy Delta Zero sensor technology that was developed specifically for this mouse. This technology achieves to match top-end sensors in performance while doubling up on battery lifetime.

Its performance regarding speed and precision are lackluster when compared to wired gaming mice or some of the other options on this list, but it is still powerful for what it is — a mid-tier wireless mouse.

Like with most mice from the Logitech G series, the grip is outstanding. But the extra weight, caused by the battery, etc. Makes it a little less comfortable than others of the same series. The key bindings are not as effectively placed as on the G502, but most of them are still very easy to use.

Final Verdict

If you are looking to play at a competitive level, then you should NOT get a wireless mouse of this price class. The technology is not there yet, for it to be worth. But if you are dead set on getting a wireless mouse, then this is one of the best options, and I highly recommend it. So if you want to compete at a high level of gaming, we recommend you look at alternatives like the Rival 650 or G Pro Wireless or buy a wired mouse.

Like most other wireless option, you will experience the occasional stuttering when the battery is low. But compared to other wireless options, it manages to feel quite smooth, and the stutter was very rare and short.

For those seeking the powerful performance of Razer but want a more ambidextrous option than the Razer Mamba, the Lancehead is a fantastic choice. It brings the same top-tier performance as the Mamba or Deathadder but has its own unique design.

The combination of the 5G 16k DPI laster sensor and the Adaptive Razer Frequency Tech is downright lethal, and regarding performance, it doesn’t get much better than this. It gives one of the most responsive wireless experiences with incredible acceleration and power as well.

What makes the Lancehead a substantially different experience is the ambidextrous design, it won’t matter if you are left or right-handed, the Lancehead will fit like a pea in a pot.

The mouse is reasonably ergonomic and has textured rubber down the sides for added comfort and grip.

Performance is not all about specifications, and that is why the addition of the mechanical buttons are such a welcomed feature. This gives it such incredible tactile feedback and makes sure that you feel utterly in control.

Final Verdict

Fans of Razer or people that want top-tier performance in an ambidextrous mouse should consider the Razer Lancehead. It has all the best of Razer, combined with a modern design and devilish good looks.

The Corsair Dark Core is a mouse with a lot of strengths and very few weaknesses. Let us take a look at what makes the Dark Core such a powerful contender in the wireless mice market.

First, let’s talk about performance. It uses an optical sensor which can track up to 16.000 DPI which you can customize with just 1 DPI at a time. Making it possible to create the most precise DPI presets on the market. On top of that, it has a 1ms 2.4 GHz Bluetooth receiver that takes the mouse to an almost wired level of responsiveness.

All and all, the sensor, and overall performance are top-notch and will help you bring your A game.

The other important factor to consider is the design and ergonomics of the mouse, which Corsair also pulls off confidently with the Dark Core. The mouse is contoured in its shape, which provides a healthy amount of comfort and control to your grip, especially for palm-grippers. Most of the mouse is also covered with a dotted texture that provides additional traction and support, which I found to be a nice touch.

It also has a few fantastic hidden features. Such as the changeable side grips that allow you to choose which side, if any, you want your thumb grip to be. On top of that, it also has integrated Omron switches which are rated at upwards to 50 million clicks, making this one of the most durable options on the market.

The only real downside concerning design is the size. While it doesn’t bother me as a frequent user the Razer Naga, it could potentially be an annoyance if you have never used a larger mouse before. Much like the Logitech G602, the size of the mouse has a purpose. It helps to store the necessary wireless tech, a substantial battery, and dominant core performance. It will be challenging to find a wireless mouse with this sort of battery capacity and performance without its size in the same price range.

Lastly, the Corsair Dark Core uses the Corsair Utility Engine(CUE) software which I haven’t always been a fan of but it has gotten a lot more user-friendly with the latest update. It allows you to customize everything from the LED backlighting to your DPI or keybindings.

Final Verdict

The Corsair Dark Core is a top performer with extraordinary battery capacity and high quality of design. The quality of materials and fantastic Omron switches makes it incredibly durable while it’s hardware makes it one of the most powerful in its performance.

It is hard to say anything downright cynical about the mouse as the biggest downside is subjective.

The design and curves of the mouse are incredibly comfortable but can feel overwhelming if you don’t like large mice.

So if you don’t mind the size aspect of the Dark Core, then it might be one of the best wireless mice on the market.

The Razer Mamba has been a topic of controversy for some gamers over the years due to having some durability and frequency issues in certain cases. While durability issues is a big deal, it is hard to ignore the actual performance that this mouse offer. After all, we are here to test and review mice and their performance.

So what makes the Razer Mamba such a force to be reckoned with? It’s a culmination of things. It has the signature Razer gaming Sensor which provide you with a top DPI of 16.000 which is more than you will ever need and is also able to track up to 1 DPI increment. On top of that, it has a lift-off cut-off distance of only 0.1 millimeters. All of which makes this one of the most effective sensors in the world.

However, it is not only the sensor that gives it such high-end performance but also it’s robust wireless technology, and it’s revolutionary Adjustable Click Force Technology. The ladder allows you to handcraft a profile that determines just what kind of force is required to activate a button. This fixes a pervasive issue for gamers, as it is relatively normal to want sensitive buttons when playing something like Diablo 3 which require a lot of spam clicking but this sort of sensitivity can be devastating in a first-person shooter environment. So with the Razer Mamba, you don’t have to choose and can freely adjust the sensitivity to the games you play.

Something the Razer Mamba has never received critique for is its looks. It has one of the cleanest designs on the market and offers full RGB backlighting, which means you can choose freely between any color in the world to fit your gaming setup needs.

It also has excellent wireless integration with almost zero latency issues and fantastic accuracy. Sadly it doesn’t offer wired play which can be a deal breaker for some. It is always nice being able to play while charging. That being said, if you just put it in the charger while you don’t use it you will never have any issues with this as it’s battery has high power capacity and last for a long time per default.

Final verdict

The Razer Mamba wireless edition is an absolute beast, and when it comes to precision and pure performance of power, then it is tough to beat.

However, it has two very apparent issues in its durability and lack of wired play. Many people reported a loss of performance after a year of use, which is not great but also not unheard of with wireless mice.

Many new wireless mice like the Logitech G703 and SteelSeries Sensei Wireless offer the option to play while the mouse is charging and the fact that the Razer Mamba doesn’t provide this yet seems a little lazy.
