“After six months of daily use, the Viper V3 Pro remains my FPS mainstay. The 35K sensor tracks flawlessly during flick shots, though I only get 16 hours runtime at 1000Hz polling instead of the advertised 90.”

Buy if: You need tournament-grade performance and have medium/large hands. Avoid if you require Bluetooth or extensive RGB customization.

“My Superlight 2 feels like an extension of my hand in Valorant. The 4000Hz polling gives tangible tracking improvements over the original, though I keep a backup mouse due to past scroll wheel failures.”

Buy if: You want esports-proven reliability. Avoid if you need programmable buttons beyond basic DPI controls.

“The DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed converted me from palm grip to relaxed claw. The forward hump placement provides better wrist support than previous models, though battery changes feel archaic compared to USB-C charging.”

Buy if: You need budget-friendly ergonomics without sacrificing sensor quality. Avoid if you prefer rechargeable batteries.

“My Aerox 5’s scroll wheel started reversing inputs after 4 months. Support replaced it under warranty, but the replacement developed the same issue within weeks. Great when functional, but build quality is questionable.”

Buy if: You need MMO functionality in wireless form. Avoid if prioritizing long-term reliability.

“My 7-year-old G502 still works perfectly despite daily abuse. The X variant’s lighter 102g weight makes it viable for casual gaming, though I wouldn’t recommend it for competitive FPS.”

Buy if: You want a productivity/gaming hybrid. Avoid if you play twitch shooters or prefer lightweight gear.
