Best Mouse for Fortnite

Introduction

Fortnite needs no introduction. The game has been a cultural phenomenon that far surpassed its gaming roots to the point where it felt like everyone was talking about it at one point in time. The game’s popularity in the mainstream entertainment market might be past its highest point, but the game itself certainly isn’t. Fortnite is constantly being kept fresh, and with the rather recent addition of a no-build mode we’re seeing new players flock to this game in droves, with a lot of players wondering what’s the best mouse for Fortnite.

Whether you’re a veteran or a complete newbie; there’s one thing that doesn’t change and that’s the fact that you need good gear in order to play to your full potential. To help you with that we’ve analyzed the mice that our pro players are using, and we’ve come up with a list of the best Fortnite mice. A mouse is obviously something subjective and largely comes down to personal tastes, but using this list as a guideline can be a great start when choosing a new mouse.

Feel free to check out our gaming mouse spec list, where we list the specs of over 250 registered gaming mice.

What makes a mouse good for Fortnite?

Fortnite is a relatively simple game, in the sense that you don’t have a metric ton of abilities and buttons to press. It can be handy to have a few extra input options if you’re someone who likes to have everything bound to your mouse, but generally a regular mouse with the regular two side buttons should be fine. 

Since it’s a shooter and you’ve got to be able to aim well it’s important to choose a mouse which suits your grip style and hand size too. After all, you will want your mouse to be comfortable for you if you’re going to be using it for hours on end. There’s no need to go for a mouse that has all the top tier components but doesn’t fit your hand and grip style at all. 

What’s interesting is that large sections of Fortnite professionals are rather keen to adopt or at least try out new gear. This willingness to switch out gear makes it difficult for any given product to achieve a notable market share, since it might be replaced by a newer offering once it starts getting a bit of a foothold. For this reason, there are a number of older products in this list. These are from the time when the mouse market moved a bit slower, and are still being used by players who aren’t as switch-happy. All of the products in this list are still great gaming mice today, but we will note when newer alternatives are available.

Razer Viper V3 Pro

The Razer Viper V3 Pro is one of the fastest climbing products in the history of ProSettings.net, and for good reason. At a time where a lot of people were a bit miffed with the incremental updates that the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 offered over its predecessor, Razer released a shape competitor with top tier internals. The Viper V3 Pro is so well-received that it’s basically the first mouse in years to challenge the Superlight’s dominance.

Compared to the Viper V2 Pro, the biggest change comes in the form of the shape. The newest Viper is a lot boxier than its predecessor, making it a much safer shape. At a weight of just 54 grams, it’s lighter than rival offerings from other mainstream brands, and with polling rates of 8000Hz out of the box, optical switches, and a flawless sensor, it’s not surprise that this is one of 2024’s hottest releases.

If you like a neutral shape for your gaming mouse and you want absolute top tier specs, this is one of the best mice to consider right now.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight

When the Logitech G Pro Wireless released, it was the undisputed king of (wireless) gaming mice, and the technology behind that product was so impressive that it remained in that position for many months after its release. In fact, the tech was so impressive that it’s still consider to be a good mid-tier gaming mouse to this day. Competitors did catch up after a while though, prompting Logitech to release the Superlight: an updated version of the well-loved G Pro Wireless.

The main differences between the two (aside from the fact that the Superlight only has side buttons on the left) lie in the fact that the Superlight is a lot lighter (as the name would imply) at just 62 grams, and that the Superlight has better stock feet and new switches that are supposed to eliminate the risk of accidental double clicking.

The updates made the G Pro X Superlight (commonly known as ‘GPX’) the benchmark to beat yet again, and that solidified the mouse line’s grasp on the competitive gaming market. The Superlight is undisputedly gaming mouse royalty, and thanks to its safe shape and finely tuned features (the clicks aren’t too heavy, nor too light; the same goes for the scroll wheel) it can be picked up and used effectively by almost any gamer.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2

The Superlight 2, as the name implies, is the successor to the Superlight and it has got some neat upgrades.

Firstly the specs. Both the main mouse buttons and the side buttons have optical switches underneath them, which are more responsive and durable than standard mechanical switches. Under the hood, the Superlight 2 features the Hero 25K sensor rated for a 4000 Hz polling rate. It’s Logitech’s flagship sensor, so it’s very solid in the performance department. The Superlight 2 is also 3 g lighter than the Superlight (62g) weighing in at 59g.

Apart from the good specs and super reliable performance, one of the main reasons the Logitech G Pro X Superlight is so popular is the shape. Because the old shape was so well received, Logitech did not change the shape in this next iteration. The Superlight 2 is physically the same as the Superlight, which is great news for people who want to upgrade from their old mouse.

If you already have an original Superlight and you’re happy with its performance, there’s no big need to upgrade, but if you’re looking to get into that super popular Logitech shape, we recommend the Superlight 2 over the original version.

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.

Pros

• Super safe shape that’ll fit anyone
• Nice coating
• Extremely reliable wireless and sensor performance
• Addition of USB-C charging and optical switches addresses the two most commonly heard complaints about the GPX
• Sensor calibration tool in G HUB is really handy
• Good battery life

Cons

• Clicks feel heavier than on earlier versions, which might not sit well with everyone
• Bottom skate has a different shape, which feels like an unneeded change

Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro

The Deathadder is not a new name for any gamer. It was one of the most popular mice back in the day and you will still find a lot of people using it. The Deathadder V3 Pro continues the legacy of the original Deathadder, modernizing it with better specs and improving on its shape.

The most obvious difference between this and older versions is the weight and shape of the mouse. Gone is the old long and rather flat shape, in is a new, boxier shape. This makes the DeathAdder more similar to popular ergonomic mice such as the ZOWIE EC series and its many clones, and this move seems to have been well received if we’re looking at how popular the DAV3 Pro is.

Of course, the hardware underneath is top notch as well. The Deathadder V3 Pro houses the Focus 30K Pro sensor, optical switches, and goes up to a polling rate of 8KHz if you purchase a HyperPolling dongle. It has the same specs as the Viper V3 Pro, which has been critically acclaimed for its performance. So, in the performance department, you can rest assured that the mouse will perform superbly.

The Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro is also available, which offers a bunch of upgrades over the third iteration. The V3 is still an extremely capable gaming mouse, however, so if you want to be a bit more budget-conscious then this is absolutely still an option.

Razer Viper Ultimate

The Viper Ultimate is an older mouse, but it’s still a very capable one.

At the time when the Viper Ultimate came out, Razer was struggling a bit in the pro player mouse market segment. Logitech’s G Pro Wireless was the undisputed king of gaming mice, and the Viper Ultimate was the first mainstream release to make a credible challenge for the crown. With a flawless wireless connection, Optical mouse switches, an advanced sensor, an added charging dock, and a low weight of 74 grams it was a more than adequate reply to Logitech’s offering.

The Viper Ultimate is still a great choice today, but is has been followed up by the Viper V2 Pro. The V2 Pro has a lighter weight, better feeling switches, a better sensor, making it a better choice for competitive gamers. If you want to use the dock or you need side buttons on the right side you have to go for the Ultimate version, though, as those features have been cut from the V2, so if you’re looking for slightly more luxurious Viper experience then the Ultimate might be the one for you.

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.

FinalMouse Ultralight X

The FinalMouse Ultralight X is one of the brand’s longest-running products. It is available in three different sizes and there are also various special editions of it out there. Sadly, FinalMouse still sells their mice in limited drops, so getting your hands on a FinalMouse product can be very difficult. They’re also more expensive than most flagship mice.

If you can get your hands on one, and you’re willing to pay for it, you’ve got yourself an extremely light mouse by a brand that’s been favored by various Fortnite pros over the years and performs really well for gaming.

These days, FinalMouse mice aren’t as groundbreaking as they once were, so unless you’re really into the brand and/or you want a specific design or color scheme, there are more affordable and attainable options out there.

Razer Viper V2 Pro

If you’re thinking of performance-focused gaming mice, you’re thinking of the Viper V2 Pro. This successor to the Viper Ultimate comes with Razer Gen 3 Optical Switches, a flawless and cutting edge sensor, and a reduced weight when compared to its predecessor.

The Viper V2 Pro did have to cut some corners in order to achieve its extremely light weight of just 58 grams, though. The charging dock that you got with the Viper Ultimate is gone, and this V2 Pro isn’t even compatible with said dock. It also loses the side buttons on the right side, so if you’re a left-handed gamer you’re out of luck with this one.

All of this aside, the Viper V2 Pro is definitely one of the best performance-focused gaming mice out there right now. If you want a flat, very neutral ambidextrous gaming mice for your Fortnite grinding adventures then this mouse should be near the top of your list.

Best Mouse for Fortnite – Conclusion

When it comes to aiming, Fortnite is a rather hyperactive game, so it makes sense to see pros generally move towards lightweight and nimble mice as opposed to heavier, more stable ones. If you’re a new Fortnite player who doesn’t yet have a pinned down set of preferences when it comes to your mouse, we would recommend you to go for a lighter ambidextrous mouse to start off with. If you do already know exactly what you want, you can of course just use this list as an informative tool.
