Best Mouse for Apex Legends

Introduction

Apex Legends is a very exciting and fast-paced game. From the moment you drop down you’ll be attacked from all sides by hordes of teams who are there with the exact same goal in mind: to become the Apex Champion. If you want to best the other candidates, you’ll need great teamwork, a good tactical mind, and consistent and reliable aim. We can’t help you with those first two aspects (practice is key!) but we can help you find a mouse that’s perfect for your playing style.

As per usual, we have been hard at work collecting the relevant data and the result is this list. These are the most used mice by our analyzed Apex Legends professionals.

You can also browse our gaming mouse spec list, with over 250 analyzed gaming mice.

What makes a mouse good for Apex Legends?

In Apex Legends you can get attacked from lots of different angles and distances, but there’s no need to be building objects or monitoring a ton of different cooldowns, which is why we feel like you don’t need a super complicated mouse for this game.

A decently light standard layout mouse (by which we mean that it has two side buttons in addition to the regular buttons) with a flawless sensor should be all you need, as aim is definitely one of the most important skills to have in this particular game. You won’t see many instakills in Apex Legends, and the overall time to kill is pretty high, but a missed Wingman shot can definitely be the difference between a squad wipe and a humiliating exit, so it’s of critical importance that you find a mouse that’s comfortable for you and won’t limit you in your ability to hit shots consistently.

Razer Viper V3 Pro

Razer’s Viper line has always been popular in Apex Legends, and that doesn’t change with the V3 Pro. There is quite a big change between the V3 and earlier versions though, as the V3 has a completely different shape.

Gone is the flat, long-feeling shape of the V2 and in is a boxier, more compact shell design. This change makes the Viper V3 Pro a lot more palatable to a large audience, as the safer design accommodates a wider variety of grip styles.

Under the hood, you’ll find Razer’s top tier tech, including a sensor that’s capable of polling rates of up to 8000Hz. Combine that with optical switches, great build quality, and the aforementioned safer design and you’ve a top mouse.

• Fantastic gaming performance
• 8KHz wireless polling rate out of the box
• New shape is a lot safer
• Good coating
• Razer optical switches feel great

Cons

• Expensive
• Side buttons feel a bit mushy

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2

The Superlight 2 is the successor to the massively popular Superlight. It keeps the exact same shape, but brings a number of improvements such as a slightly lighter weight, a sensor that’s capable of polling rates up to 8000Hz, and hybrid switches for the buttons.

What hasn’t changed is the legendary shape. This safe, ‘one size fits all’ type of shape has its fierce supporters as well as detractors, but it can’t be argued that this is an extremely well thought-out design. If you’re someone who isn’t quite sure (yet) what they want out of a gaming mouse, this might be a great option for your first mouse, as the shape will likely fit you one way or another.

If you don’t much care for the updates that the second version brings, you can still get the regular Superlight at quite attractive prices, however.

Logitech played it safe with the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, but that’s understandable. It’s a new version of one of the most-loved mice in all of professional gaming that introduces a couple of tweaks to bring Logitech’s flagship offering in line with today’s mouse standards.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight

Logitech’s G Pro line is their flagship competitive gaming line where they drop frivolities and unnecessary features in order to focus on one thing: performance. The Superlight (which is the successor to the Logitech G Pro Wireless) is a lightweight, stripped-down competitive gaming mouse that comes in at around 62 grams. It has a very safe shape that can be used by just about anyone, and with Logitech’s flawless LIGHTSPEED technology combined with their HERO sensor you’ve got a mouse that will translate your every move with pixel perfect precision.

This is a mouse that we often recommend for gamers who aren’t completely sure as to what their preferences are but who do want a top tier gaming mouse, as it’s available pretty much all around the globe, has a very safe shape, and is a top tier performer. And now that it’s been succeeded by the V2, you can pick this one up for very friendly prices, which is a bonus.

Razer Deathadder V3 Pro

The Deathadder line might perhaps be the most famous line of gaming mice on the planet, so you might think that you know exactly what this mouse is all about, but there’s one major aspect that you need to take into consideration if you’ve handled a Deathadder before, and that’s the shape.

Starting with the Deathadder V3 Pro, Razer has changed the shape of their iconic mouse. Gone is the long, flat Deathadder shape with a ton of grooves in the front, and in is a much boxier mouse with a much more neutral front portion. In addition to this, the V3 Pro also packs Razer’s cutting edge technology and is capable of polling rates of up to 8000Hz.

If you want even more cutting-edge tech, you can always go for the newer V4, but the V3 is still a mouse that’s up there with the best of the best in terms of specs, so if you’re looking to save some money then this can always be considered.

FinalMouse Starlight-12

If you follow the competitive Apex Legends scene a little bit, you will probably know about FinalMouse. The brand that was (at least partially) responsible for the lightweight revolution is still going strong today, and even though not everyone agrees with their business model (which is very focused on hype marketing and limited runs of products) it can’t be denied that they know how to make a revolutionary product.

The Starlight-12 is one of the lighter gaming mice that’s actively being used in the pro scene. The magnesium shell makes the SL feel very sturdy and lightweight at the same time, and that’s not something that’s a given with these ultralight mice. Manufacturers often have to cut corners in order to make their shells as light as possible, which can lead to mice that feel creaky or unreliable.

If you can manage to snag a Starlight-12 at retail price then this is a great mouse to buy if you want to get yourself a super lightweight gaming mouse, but we wouldn’t recommend buying from scalpers or paying over retail as the Starlight-12 is already on the more expensive end at MSRP.

Logitech G Pro Wireless

The Logitech G Pro Wireless feels old when you look at its modern iterations (the Superlights). But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad mouse. It dominated the esports and competitive gaming space when it was released, and the reason was that it ticked all the boxes for a great mouse—lightweight, comfortable shape, and a great sensor.

These days, there’s no doubt that it’s an older mouse, however. With a Micro-USB port and a weight of 80 grams, it’s definitely a product from a bygone era. Fortunately, Logitech did release a newer version called Pro 2. It’s the same mouse but with an upgraded sensor and optical switches. It’s a good choice for people who want a slightly heavier G Pro mouse.

Logitech has set out to create the ultimate gaming mouse with the G Pro Wireless, and as far as I’m concerned they have succeeded in that task. It’s without a doubt one of the most hyped up releases of the past few years, and for good reason too.

Razer Viper Ultimate

The Razer Viper Ultimate is the predecessor to the Viper V2 and is an older mouse, but it has a number of features that could make it a better choice in today’s market, depending on where your priorities lie.

The Ultimate, for example, has side buttons on the right side, but it also comes with a charging dock (that can double as a battery life indicator if you want it to) so if you’re looking for that slightly more luxurious feeling in a mouse then the Ultimate might be a great option for you. Obviously, successors the the Ultimate will have better internals and technology, but given the fact that the Ultimate already has a flawless sensor and a flawless wireless connection it’s a completely capable mouse in its own right.

Something to note is that the Ultimate introduced Razer’s Optical switches, and those were pretty far from what they are now in the sense that the first generations felt a little mushy, so if you’re someone who considers click feeling to be very important you might want to take note of this.

The fact that this is a wireless mouse with a lag-free connection and flawless sensor, complete a rechargeable battery (with a life of around 70 hours) at a mere 74 grams is impressive enough on its own but Razer has managed to get over the proverbial bar and then set it even higher with a number of interesting upgrades.

G-Wolves Hati S+ 4K

G-Wolves is a brand that’s been around for a while, and while their track record definitely isn’t flawless they do know how to make great gaming mice. This Hati S 4K is a prime example of that.

The Hati range has been around for a long time, and these ambidextrous mice have now gone for 4KHz polling rates. This 4K Hati S+ is a mouse that has specs that place it at the very top tier of gaming mice, and it’s nice to see that all of this technology is also making its way to smaller manufacturers. 4Khz gaming mice aren’t cheap, though, and this mouse is also an example of that, so if you’re looking for a budget mouse this definitely isn’t it.

Best Mouse for Apex Legends – Conclusion

All the mice on this list have one thing in common: they’re relatively simple mice (on the surface at least) featuring the two customary side buttons but nothing else.

Apex Legends professionals aren’t hesitant to pick up newer mice or use new technologies, so you can see some pretty interesting mice pop up in this article from time to time, though is also features some absolute classics.
