Summary
PCMag's top pick for premium wireless gaming mice and best super-light esports mouse — packs an 8,000Hz polling rate and sky-high DPI ceiling into a featherweight frame.
The best compact ultralight for laptop gamers — dual wireless (Bluetooth + 2.4GHz), up to 950 hours of battery life on a single AA, and under $70. CNET called it a 'mighty mini mouse.'
Pros
  • 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
  • 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
Cons
  • Expensive at ~$125-$180
  • 8,000Hz polling rate requires a wired connection
  • No left-handed version available
  • 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
Our take
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.
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.

The verdict

Get the Asus ROG Keris II Ace if you want for esports performance. Get the Razer Orochi V2 if you value for travel more. Both are excellent choices in ultralight gaming mice.
