The Best Ultralight Gaming Mice

Updated April 2026·Experts: PCMag, WIRED, CNET · Community: MouseReview, MouseReview (budget comparison)

Best Overall

If you want one mouse that does everything right without compromise, this is it. The Superlight 2 is what every other ultralight is measured against.

What holds up

  • 2.12 oz without honeycomb cutouts, impressively light for a solid-shell mouse
  • Logitech Hero 2 sensor with 32,000 DPI and consistent, spot-on tracking
  • Ambidextrous design with onboard USB dongle storage
  • Long battery life and pleasingly grippy matte plastic finish

What to know

  • No DPI switch on the mouse body
  • Staid, minimal design with no RGB
  • Expensive at $159 MSRP
  • Shape isn't ideal for very large hands
Expert verdict
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 packs as much performance into as lightweight a mouse as possible, making it right at home in the hands of ultra-competitive, deep-pocketed gamers.

The ATK A9 pro which ran me $40 after aliexpress discounts isn't just a clone of a superlight, it's better in every single way.

Best for Esports

The Keris II Ace is the mouse for players who want every possible competitive edge. It's the rare mouse that earns Editors' Choice across multiple PCMag roundups simultaneously.

What holds up

  • Super lightweight with high DPI ceiling for competitive play
  • 8,000Hz polling rate maximum, among the fastest available
  • Named PCMag's Best Premium Gaming Mouse and Best Super-Light Wireless Esports Mouse
  • Available in two colors

What to know

  • Expensive at ~$125-$180
  • 8,000Hz polling rate requires a wired connection
  • No left-handed version available
Expert verdict
The Asus ROG Keris II Ace has the specs pro gamers need from a wireless mouse: a high DPI ceiling and an 8,000Hz polling rate with not a gram of weight more than necessary.

Best Ultralight

If chasing the absolute lowest weight is your goal, nothing from a major brand touches 36 grams. Just know you're trading build quality for that number, this mouse flexes if you squeeze it.

What holds up

  • 36 grams, lightest mouse from any mainstream manufacturer
  • 8,000Hz polling rate and 33,000 DPI sensor match top-tier competitors
  • Includes grip tape, extra mouse feet, and USB-C cable
  • Smooth matte finish with crisp, short-travel mechanical switches

What to know

  • Flimsy plastic shell that flexes under pressure, could crack if sat on
  • No Bluetooth, 2.4GHz only with an awkward USB-C dongle
  • Mechanical switches instead of optical (shorter lifespan)
  • DPI shortcut only works with default button mapping
Expert verdict
Thirty-six grams is the lowest weight of any gaming mouse from a mainstream manufacturer. It feels practically weightless and can be flung around with ease.

Best Budget

The Haste 2 proves you don't need to spend $150+ to get a genuinely competitive ultralight mouse. It's the pick for anyone who wants the feel without the premium price tag.

What holds up

  • Lightweight design with attractive honeycomb-style aesthetic
  • Fully customizable via software utility
  • Editors' Choice across both PCMag gaming and esports roundups

What to know

  • Not a good fit for large hands
  • Limited RGB lighting
  • No onboard profile storage

Best for Travel

If you game on the go, the Orochi V2 is the one to get. No other ultralight mouse gives you this combination of portability, dual wireless, and absurd battery life at this price.

What holds up

  • Dual wireless: Bluetooth and 2.4GHz HyperSpeed in one mouse
  • Up to 950 hours battery life on Bluetooth with a single AA battery
  • Compact, travel-friendly form factor with 100% PTFE feet
  • 18,000 DPI 5G optical sensor with on-the-fly DPI switching

What to know

  • Magnetic top cover comes off too easily during aggressive gaming
  • 65-72 grams with battery, heavier than dedicated ultralight mice
  • Small size may not suit large hands
  • No rechargeable battery, requires AA or AAA
Expert verdict
It's easy enough to find a great ultralightweight gaming mouse, but if you want to go wireless it gets a little trickier. Things get more complicated if you want it small for travel, to have long battery life and stay under $100. Razer manages to hit all those and then some with its $70 Orochi V2.

A single AA lithium battery gets you up to 950 hours of use on Bluetooth and 425 hours with the HyperSpeed Wireless.
