[Hardware] Best wireless gaming mouse

[ROVEN]

 

There is now almost nothing between the best wireless gaming mouse and the top wired gaming mouse. Except, of course, price. Where once it was a question of sacrificing latency and accuracy for the freedom that only a cable-free connection can offer, that is no longer the case.

 

Advances in sensors and communication protocols by the likes of Logitech, Corsair, and Razer, means that the performance you get out of the best wireless gaming mouse is practically indistinguishable from what you'd get with the rodent wired directly into your gaming PC.

 

Compared to the best gaming mice with tails, there are still a few additional features you need consider with a wireless mouse. Connectivity is vital, as is battery life. At the tippy-top of the heap, you can find mice with wireless charging, which makes the mouse truly wire-free 100 percent of the time, though that is a luxury and can cost more than it's worth right now.

Ousting the versatile G903, the G502 Lightspeed Wireless is the latest iteration of a long-standing favorite for Logitech veterans, the G502 Proteus Spectrum. It has gone through a bit of an evolution over the years and ditched the awful name. Proteus what? Initially being upgraded with a 16K DPI sensor, Logitech took the next logical step by pairing this beast of a gaming mouse with its PowerPlay technology, allowing it to remain charged continuously and connected. Even without the PowerPlay mat, the G502 can remain functional for more than 40 hours on a single charge.

 

Not a single feature was removed to make room for this convenience. Everything that made the original G502 great is present here, from its adjustable 16g weights to its unlocked mouse wheel and 11 buttons. While its aggressive, Batmobile aesthetic may not appeal to everyone, the comfort and performance of this mouse is second to none.

While the G903 remains an excellent alternative, especially for southpaw shooters, the added customizability and macros let the G502 inch ahead of the competition. This wireless version of this venerable warhorse is the spitting image of its ancestors and the pinnacle of uncompromising performance when it comes to wireless gaming rodents.
