The Best Gaming Mice 2024

[@badseedtech]

Alright I guess I’m buying a Maya X Edit: kzbin.infoaCVp7p1A0v0?feature=share

[@whteoutxd]

Never too late I guess XD

[@_ChatSoCute_]

LMAO

[@chocobocooki3]

I apologize, but I believe you have fumbled by not including this anywhere on the list. The Hitscan Hyperlight has been hyped by all my friends. I simply don't have it because I'm waiting to try a high quality ergo. Also this mouse is only $90.

[@grimetone]

Came in expecting Maya to top your list. It's a great mouse, all but the software and the scroll wheel. Also been eyeing the PMM mods.

[@evilofalfa]

damn NT man lmao

[@stephancalitz7113]

Thank for the consideration of availability and ease of service considered ✌️

[@Silver_Joystix]

Good point. I’m glad that Badseed took this into consideration as well.

[@gmil47]

Your analogy about the mechanic switching out his tools is a great comparison. A lot of people spend too much time tinkering with their set up when they need to just be clicking heads.

[@leonardonakashima4529]

Shocked that Maya X is not on the list…

[@troutboy299]

Agree 100%, that mouse is the best

[@sekkev]

Personally dont like the buttons on the Maya X. Too stiff

[@hippie_4762]

@@sekkev That's what I love about them! A lot of these superlight mouse have got these unsteady light clicks which kinda throw off my spam clicks.

[@sekkev]

@@hippie_4762 Ahh, I am playing a lot of fortnite right now. And the stiffness messes with my ability to click fast enough!

[@jonathansmith4737]

They more than likely didn’t sponsor him 😂

[@RocketJumpNinja]

07:24 Yes, if the industry keeps pushing 8k like it's some crazy advantage and people keep claiming that they can tell the difference in a blind test, we will have more to say 😂 Interesting list and yeah wasn't too varied, but when 95% of the top mouse companies are just cloning each other or making minor adjustments, is it really your fault? We need more risk-takers in gaming mice again. Great vid as always!

[@BrunoPT]

will we ever see an mz1 v2.0? I've had 2 wired and 1 wireless. perfect shape 4me. unfortunately the sensors started acting weird after a while and I ended up getting a different mouse (OP1).

[@high-captain-BaLrog]

audiophile burn ins and "special" cables come to mind.

[@YuProducciones]

risk taker like the OptimumTech's mouse? that looks like a dam squeleton of a mouse... I think that thing was around 20grams? nah I'm good, I rather keep 60gr standard shape mouses that works amazing for a hand... Have you seen anyone take the risk of changing the design of cart wheels in recent years? Exactly.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

@@YuProducciones Xtrfy took a risk and let me design a new shape, and it worked out well. And that was playing it safe. There is so much that can be done with mouse shapes still, I have a few designs in the works, one of which may change mouse shapes forever, who knows, it's a risk, we will see. But the point is, we won't know unless we try, so yeah, I want risky mice to see if we can find something new to help us play at our best, not the same old same old.

[@northwestclasspnw7974]

X2H v2 has stolen my heart with the translucent variation.

[@fairfaxsurfshoprider]

Maya X?

[@ancientslav4863]

There are just TOO MANY mice nowadays to mention always. I guess there are many videos about it. Imagine the guys who would say the same about the pulsar x2h

[@GoofCustom]

seeing the X2H at number 2 as an owner of an X2H mini. you love to see it.

[@negation4399]

Props for not buying into the 4k/8k hype! Nothing higher than 2k for me. Also, is that RoG Delta 2 headset review still coming? ;)

[@0py6f]

your videos always pop up right when i'm considering a new purchase 😭 i have a deathadder v3 and dont really have a reason to upgrade.. but the shape on that pulsar might sway me

[@TheIndulgers]

Pulsar 2XA mini. Truly ambidextrous, light weight, good shape, great performance, solid shell, reasonable price. It’s my winner.

[@cooleyzz]

I just got the basilisk v3 pro 35k this weekend after my ultimate quit doing wireless. The flick to free spin the mouse wheel is freaking awesome and I can tell the sensor is more accurate

[@earthworm48]

Great vid, not surprised to see V3 at top and Xm2w so high loving it atm - are you going to do a mousepad catchup? curious to see what you are using, Im trying a SP-004 foir the first time but think its rough on my skates interested to see what you have been using etc! Been enjoying my ULX though but man I wish their continuous stock promise would actually come true

[@Misfirem]

Thank you for all of these roundups 🤝 These are always so helpful around Black Friday. Reasonable, in stock options are also a huge plus

[@crypix]

Lamzu Maya X? 😢

[@93ksj]

Right on time for the holidays

[@dustinmihalcheon5013]

I bought or tried about 8 million mice last year and couldn’t settle on one. Then a local PC store employee let me see how a Pulsar and a Zowie U2 feel in my hand. Pulsar felt familiar but I was surprised with the odd shape how much I loved the feel of the U2. The receiver doubling as a charging dock sold me and I’ve had it ever since. I love it.

[@lukeX2m]

what games do u play?

[@dustinmihalcheon5013]

@ PvP games I stick to Battlefield, Hunt Showdown and a little Warzone lately. Outside of those I’m all over the place from Red Dead Redemption 2 to House Flippers and everything between lol.

[@7RmP]

This video is Perfect timing. I’ve been looking to get a new mouse for Christmas. Still using my super light pro x

[@Doggie64]

Thanks for this vid. Some great mice you've picked. I really enjoy your take on products. Woof.😊

[@asan1050]

Thanks for posting this video.

[@LevvyKlister]

Endgame Gear XM2 8K is the mouse of the year for me, extreme performance and I don't have to worry about battery charge anymore. Also the Maya X should be among honorable mentions they deserve it.

[@JawadNoorzai14]

i forget your channel exist a few months every year and when i find it on my explore page again i get suprised by the videos every time! keep it up, boutta binge a couple months worth of videos again xD

[@IMF1821]

The Feinmann is absolutely crisp.

[@Seas0nedChef]

Great Vid as always. Maining an Incott G23 and a Maya 4k. Would love to try the Maya X one day.

[@mxtchv]

Literally the best 2024 mouse. I've no surprise at all, expected to see this.

[@jammies701]

Nice vid mate

[@Xaero_ZRX-33]

OP1 8K + Lethal Gaming Gear Slim cable + Fingertip 3D printed shell, 18g mouse? GOD TIER 🗿

[@MekaniQ]

bedsides shape lol (But yeah I'm waiting for EGG to make more shapes cause the performance is INSANE)

[@Sonin_x]

love the OP1 8k. just waiting for the OP1w at this point.

[@houssamalucad753]

The XM2 shape is definitely much better for medium to large hands, goated even. ​@@MekaniQ

[@najiblarach5372]

18 gram mouse with fingertip grip damnnn😭that sounds crazy good

[@druskhy4783]

Do you have the name of the 3d printed shell?

[@leviathanpriim3951]

my hesitation with pulsar is once a new product launches, the previous model is basically on life support in terms of software updates and support.

[@Xzi.404]

thank you!! i'm very picky about my mice and the viper v3 pro is perfect

[@ssmith3617]

Man that last line hit and is so true

[@WOOsPlague]

Good video Badseed! My criticism is people with large hands hoping endgame makes a large variant, Zowie I hope they also plan to release their large variants , and pulsar I feel they go to medium and stop and leave people with bigger hands like me out. I need at least 125-128mm length. My favorite mouse was the s1 but always wish they gave it more length cuz it hurt my hands after use sometimes . Razer viper only one that satisfied the length for my hands.

[@cosmicvcosmic]

Perfect timing, im looking to upgrade from my 5-6 year old Finalmouse Air58😂

[@giff74]

An entire video about generous curves and thin middles, my man!!

[@nZaneVal]

I have most of the “top mice” out there rn, the maya X has glued to my hand. This thing is fantastic. The shape is very similar to the viper V3 and the GPX but it’s lighter, and has a web based driver… if you know anything about synapse this is a big advantage… this thing has been awesome for my relaxed claw grip.

[@3ildcard]

woo-hoo, so unique enjoy your product, there are like 10 other comments about it and i don't think Badseed is in any shape or form obligated to have it in his rotation. Its all about preference.

[@DelScully]

I run synapse for my basilisk v3 pro and blackshark headset and have near zero issues with it. It used to be terrible but its pretty decent now, little to no bugs, and doesn't take up nearly as much % as it used to.

[@KrysticsCorner]

@@DelScully I am glad it has been good to you! For myself, I am very interested in any opportunity to offload drivers/software from my system. Just a matter of fewer 'moving parts' to cause an issue or a memory drain in most scenarios. I have had some hands on experience with the Maya X as well and I can definitely vouch for its comfort and performance. Definitely worth the review that I am sure is otw from Brian.

[@jR0xas]

Based list man I see a lot of people enjoy the X2H. I've tried it but personally I think the X2 (mini) shape is in my top 1 or 2 shapes ever. Obviously they don't differ apart from the shape so it's nice. All the newer badges have perfect QC I've personally had two newer badges since my first one and they are flawless.

[@cosmicvcosmic]

Thoughts on Lamzu Maya X?

[@fantasize0]

its literally a better v3 pro💀 havent touched my v3 after i got the maya x

[@cosmicvcosmic]

@ Word glooks, im looking to get it soon

[@DelScully]

if you're okay with a bad battery life its sick!

[@WDannyboy]

Would love to see a review on the new beyerdynamic MMX 300 pro and MMX 330 pro gaming headsets

[@demoncleaner80]

The U2 looks really enticing. I recently got a ZA11-C (I don't mind the wire), and it's my first experience with that shape, and holy cow I've never felt a more comfortable mouse. My hands are almost as big as yours so I definitely might check the U2. Edit: Just bought a Xtrfy M42 on sale today to try it out with that rear shell swap

[@duppy666.]

Awesome video! I definitely need to upgrade my viper ultimate it’s getting worn. I was thinking about trying the mz1 but might give the pulsar a try. 👊

[@MrSkullhead0]

Will you be reviewing any custom keyboards for like an end of year review? I know HE took over the enthusiast gamer market, but the custom market has had some fun boards come through this year too

[@SxpnthR]

U2 has been a sleeper pick for me through the dense releases this year

[@colorless3560]

I wished you could have posted this top 5 list a bit earlier. Especially on the top 5 headsets hahaha. Anyway nice review! Looking forward to other videos

[@kevinl1664]

man i wish there was more mice for bigger hands. everything is tiiiiny

[@Confluxi]

I also heard about click latency for the U2?

[@brandonpetersen9232]

Still using and loving the Viper Ultimate, even after 4 years!

[@Rhinotsoplots1000]

Bro... I just bought a dang mouse and was looking for good reviews. I wish this came out 1 day earlier.

[@johnbravo7689]

I had 2 units of viper v3 pro before, and I returned it due to wobbly scroll wheel issue. Then I bought ATK X1 Ultra, it is a 1:1 copy of VV3 Pro and it works really great. so far it has been more than a year I am using this ATK X1 Ultra and never had any issues, plus the battery life is superb

[@7RmP]

This video is Perfect timing. I’ve been looking to get a new mouse for Christmas. Still using my super light pro x from 2020. No idea what to get.

[@conin.v]

I'm also a Superlight Pro X owner and I just upgraded to the Logitech G PRO 2 Lightspeed Wireless, it feels way better in every way, and best of all, it has optional thumb buttons on both sides, not just on the left one.

[@hwi7114]

Seems like they fixed the software problems with the XM2w that you mentioned, my wife bought me one for my birthday last week and it has no wireless connectivity issues and works in the BIOS.

[@hoodedhero4141]

Why do you suggest avoiding mice that are in a drop format?

[@noahfenton4153]

Bro got the clone wars dooku beard (I love it)

[@bo5ibbs]

Timestamps are a bit off but solid vid!

[@collinroth3366]

A Zowie S1 would be an instant buy for me and I haven't played a game on my PC for a year and a half.

[@alexanderprofit5232]

No superlight/superlight 2/superlight 2 DEX in list.... Daaam! I'm lived for this moment! Thank you for such a good list! And I pre-ordered u2-dw and can't wait to forge it in my apex battles.

[@WillPLZ]

Side buttons is my only gripe on my BeastX Mini. Everything else is basically flawless. My initial impression was that it looked and almost felt like a miniature toy mouse. But after using it for months, I am pretty impressed by that well-built little sh*t. On the other hand, my last two Pulsar mice (including X2H Mini) never should have left the factory. I've owned many Pulsar mice in the past and it feels like the QC somehow just gets progressively worse. Really disappointing.

[@jonathanpicard7670]

I just bought the Attack Shark R6 on Amazon and after a week it's truly not a bad deal for the price, getting a lightweight no hole mouse with 8khz wireless. They have Kailh 8.0 for switch.

[@REZY_]

Wl beast max def my fav release of this year, so wild people thought the company was a scam at first lmao now it’s a great finalmouse alternative. Always my fav videos by you brother, good stuff! 🔥

[@JPDD2]

I like large side buttons. I wish we could get ultra light mice with a large middle side button but no one even puts them on

[@BravenTyler]

Razer king of peripherals been like this for years, everyone just copying

[@falsumit]

A Deathadder v3 wired with a slight textured coating would be perfect for me. I can't stand how smooth it is in-hand.

[@bladactania]

Love these types of videos... And glad the "Stay Up" has returned!

[@ChaoticRenny]

Been using the viper V3 for months and it's been great since

[@_02darian]

I just want to add that the Beast X Mini comes in at $139 USD, while the Beast X Max is about $149. It's currently on sale right now for about 2% off for Black Friday though!

[@flytelp]

2% off? I think there are promo codes that give that much off if not more so it’s kind of a fake sale Edit: yeah eloshapes has a 2% off code

[@rager4able]

Will you do Keyboards?

[@PaneledPear]

There was no X2H V2. It went from X2H to 4 million collab versions (which fixed the sticky clicks) to the X2H V3 directly.

[@Poppaai]

Until the pulsar x3 get released next week..

[@ching8733]

Nooooo, i bet it deserve a spot on that list for sure 😢

[@Poppaai]

@ching8733 def!

[@VarjoPira]

The Lamzu x Fnatic collabs are my personal favorite for FPS.

[@GoufinAround_]

Shape is the most important thing once you're sub 60 grams imo and I think you hit the nail on the head. I can't use anything lighter than the viper v3 pro

[@David-n8n9i]

The Maya X and M3K and some fingertip mice could've gotten a spot in my opinion. However pretty nice rating!

[@mattm5826]

As a MK3 user I very much agree. Its my number 1

[@3ildcard]

p-e-r-s-o-n-a-l p-r-e-f-e-r-e-n-c-e he is not obligated to have your preferred stuff in his top5 just to affirm your purchases, if you like them, thats all that matters.

[@David-n8n9i]

@@mattm5826 it surely is up there. my dream mouse, the carbon just makes it look so professional

[@David-n8n9i]

@@3ildcard dude im not saying he should. im only stating that the mice ive listed are very very good at their category and should deserve a spot at least.

[@3ildcard]

@@David-n8n9i i think g305 is the best mouse ever made, i demand you have it in your rotation, it deserves it. see how stupid that sounds? also, maya x is not far off vv3/gpx and he has vv3 in his top 5 so if you look at it from that aspect, it once again makes no sense

[@AislingPhoenix]

I recently picked up the AttackShark R3 for $80 and I'm in love with it. It's similar to that WLMouse in that it's a magnesium shell that's full of holes, weighs 46g and goes up to 8k polling. It doesn't come with some of the extras like a case or feet but the build feels solid and I don't think I can really complain about it given the price

[@chickenpasta7359]

Man I love Attack Shark and other Chinese mice but for a 46g Chinese mouse that's a lot of cake. I recently bought the X3 1K from Aliepxress for $17 and changed the trash pads for Tiger Ice V2 dots and I don't think I'll ever spend more than $30 max for a lightweight mouse ever again.

[@8lec_R]

​@@chickenpasta7359 how would you describe your hands? Mine are 9x19 and I have pudgy fingers. I too bought the x3 for 17 bucks but I can't game with it. My hand starts to cramp up big time. I ended up buying the vxe r1 pro which I absolutely adore.

[@sircartdark]

Number 1 actually starts at 13:41. It had me confused at first when I skipped to that chapter.

[@thiefsleef6752]

Is the Zowie U2 feel better in hand compared for the Viper v3 pro? I'm all for the shape

[@Tellotv]

I slept under a rock these last years ? Zowie had always had the best shapes in the industry

[@dewbe5327]

Zowie shapes and build quality are on different levels

[@Tinyboyyy]

5. Wlmouse Beast X Max 4. Zowie U2 3. Endgame Gear XM2w 4K 2. Pulsar X2H 1. Razer Viper V3 Pro

[@mesoplanetv]

Thank you

[@TempRawr]

Big respect

[@xdexclopzyt4868]

Its literally in the description

[@jamesreichmann2129]

Only complaint is with the X2H is that some older models are still sticking around in Australia and I've had 2 X2H's die, one my mate bought, another I bought off of him cause he bought a G Pro X 2. Currently on the Lamzu Thorn.

[@TheRedMarauder]

For anyone thinking of getting the U2. There is also a new version of the U2 coming soon. Better side buttons and better shape. They are listening to feedback. I would grab the new one!

[@praetorxyn]

I recently got the Viper 3 Pro as I had a problem with the wheel on the Pro X Superlight. I'm disappointed in its battery life which seems to only last a few days, and it seems Helldivers 2 usually won't start if Synapse / the Razer services are running, but other than that it's a great mouse.

[@NovusGGs]

I can kinda agree but when you’re done just leave it on charge or an hr before bc it charges super fast

[@pujam5936]

My only with Razer issue is the random freeze for a sec or two

[@bazferp]

Running super light with the charger mat, gonna have to something so damn nice to get me away from that

[@alexbrier718]

Sigourney Beaver as a username is crazy work lol 😂

[@glyphschannel]

i recommend getting the superlight 2 dex mouse! i love it and its my favorite mouse that I've had so far!

[@chickenpasta7359]

I loved my Pulsar X2 OG until the scroll wheel started getting limbo jumping. I really wish Pulsar would switch to optical scrollwheels. I just switched to reputable Chinese clone mice since you're pretty much getting the same experience or better for a fraction of the cost. I'd like to see you review some from VXE or Kysona. They're really making waves in the budget lightweight wireless mouse category. I think a budget oriented series would be super nice since I feel a lot of us who don't have that much disposable income shouldn't be left out the conversation of great peripherals.

[@CanaldoBeo]

VXE Dragonfly R1 Pro Max as number 2, nice!

[@bigrc73]

Is there a favorite when playing shooters,fighters,or RPG’s?

[@sgtrickards5683]

My G502 lightspeed is the best mouse I've used. Being able to charge the mouse on the mousepad is cool.

[@zeo_here]

Pulsar H2H and H2V2 are so good. I own both and just bounce between the two. Haven't touched any of my other mice seriously because they don't feel right anymore.

[@kirasmith1147]

My biggest problem with the #1 pick is that razer synapse has been a nightmare piece of software since forever and it's not beating those allegations it seems..

[@darthenx2585]

That beard is top notch 😊

[@severfieldtv1224]

I gotta say I haven't purchased any peripherals in like 6 months, which is like a decade for me 😂, but I always love hearing your opinions on shapes and tech. We have a similar hand size and grip style, but I'll always be an ergo man at heart. The Viper V3 Pro is at the top of my list currently if it ever goes on an egregious sale, I'll cop one and probably fall in love with it. My personal top 3 are: 1.) Lamzu Thorn. This is the mouse where I lose it like you described with the Viper V3 Pro. It just fits my hand like a glove. No matter how I adjust my grip, it is just supported perfectly. 2.) Pulsar X2H. Just a god tier claw shape that doesn't get talked about enough IMO. Tempted to a try a mini. 3.) Logitech G303 Shroud. Weird shape at first, but it's just SO FUCKING GOOD when you figure out how to lock it in. Unfortunately ruins any other shape for like a week after using it for any considerable amount of time. Honorable mentions: ZA13, XM1r, Steelseries Prime

[@666thsense]

added bonus of the WL beast is you don’t get shine where you make contact with it because of the magnesium where all the others will eventually have their texture shine. downside to the viper is synapse, and the shape and weight is pretty much just a glorious mouse.

[@richboii6597]

The newest finalmouse UV matte coating on the ULX competition doesn’t get shiny either. Horrible finger prints are one of my biggest pet peeves with mice. The new solid sides are amazing too on the FM. I’ve had pretty good luck with my last 3 copies (batch 2 ULX, Tarik and comp) but it is unfortunate that you can’t really trust the QC.

[@HoldMyClock]

anything for left-handed gamers?

[@naamt]

3:03 SHOCKINGLY light

[@meesam420]

From, Logitech's G502, G305, G403, Razer's Viper Mini, Viper , Deathadder V3 Hyperspeed, Zowie's ZA series, And Glorious Model D & O, finally settled with Pulsar's X2H and I cant stress it enough how good the shape and tech is! Thanks for highlighting that!

[@BambinoFilipino1]

13:17 - what monitor and is that?

[@brokawmike]

I have the original RVU years ago and liked it so much that I got a couple more. If I could make it silent it would be perfect

[@deadewok02]

i was VERY close to ordering a Pulsar when i just happened to stumble into a best buy like the day the V3 pro dropped...needless to say the white V3 pro has been on my desk since lol.

[@QwerkyPengwen]

I'm someone who much prefers the Logitech g604 upgraded from the g602. It has the necessary amount of side buttons while being very comfortable and ergonomic but it's a shame that Logitech just doesn't ever seem interested in continuing these mice and so far i haven't seen a single mouse from any other manufacturer that comes close to them.

[@nWo_remiix]

second person on here to talk about the v3 pro for the number 1 mouse of 2024

[@pubudupeiris6773]

I would say Kysona m617 is close contender weighing at 59g. At 1/4 of the price of these mice, it comes with a 8k dongle and bluetooth (2 BT devices can be connected and switched between easily with the dedicated button). 0 key wobble in the one I got. Bought it out of curiosity and switched from my Glorious model o wireless right after.

[@hubianhubhub6397]

Maya, Hitscan or Viper 3 Pro?
