The most used mice by League of Legends players
The most popular mice are calculated based on 96 professional League of Legends players.
Introduction
League of Legends is a game that has been at the forefront of the gaming world for over a decade now. With the game (and its professional scene) showing no signs of slowing down we still see thousands of new players entering the fray every single day. League of Legends is one of those games that is easy to get into but incredibly difficult to master. So, as usual, if you really want to climb to the highest ranks you will want to have a reliable set of peripherals that doesn’t hold you back when gaming.
The gaming mouse is one of the most important pieces of gear for any gamer. Despite the fact that aiming is arguably less of a factor in LoL than it is in some of the shooter games that we analyze (and even then: you really don’t want to miss a crucial ability due to unreliable gear) we do notice that LoL pros trend towards basically the same mice as professionals in shooter games.
In this article we’ve gathered the most used mice in the LoL pro scene. We’ll give you a brief rundown of what you can expect out of them, as well as give you some background info on what constitutes a good mouse. This list should serve as an ideal baseline for anyone who wants to get a new gaming mouse for League of Legends.

What makes a mouse good for League of Legends?
Contrary to what you might think, there’s a relatively low amount of League of Legends pros that choose to use a so-called ‘MMO/MOBA mouse’ with lots of side buttons. Despite the fact that most MMO/MOBA mice these days have a flawless sensor (and as such aren’t worse at tracking or what have you than mice that are aimed more towards shooters) they still don’t get picked up very often by the pros. That’s probably because of the fact that, compared to a game like WoW where there are sometimes dozens of buttons that need to be within reach, LoL doesn’t have all that many abilities that you need to focus on.
What you will definitely want is a mouse that is flawless. You really don’t want to be on the receiving end of a malfunctioning mouse when you’re lining up some clutch CC moves, so even though you might think that aiming is less important in a game like LoL you will certainly want to go for a dedicated gaming mouse. Luckily, flawless sensors and lag-free wireless connections have been the standard for mice made by reputable manufacturers for a while now, so there are lots of different mice to choose from.
Once you’ve found a mouse that’s on par quality-wise it’s also critically important to make sure it suits you. It makes absolutely no sense to go for a mouse that has all the right specs on paper but has a shape that you just don’t agree with, so please do make sure that you use something that’s comfortable for your personal grip style, both for short stints as well as marathon sessions.
In short: you’ll want a mouse that performs flawlessly at all times that suits your personal hand size and grip style. If you want to get yourself a mouse with a ton of side buttons there are definitely options but seeing as the most popular choices among pros are relatively ‘simple’ (on the outside at least: the technology behind these top tier mice is super impressive) pointers we’re going to be focusing on those in this article.

Logitech G Pro Wireless
Back when the Logitech G Pro Wireless was first announced it kind of shocked (in a good way) the gaming world since it was a lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a rechargeable battery, a flawless sensor, and a lossless wireless connection; something that just wasn’t possible before the release of the G Pro Wireless. It became the most popular gaming mouse with our analyzed pros in record time, taking the number one spot in all but a few games that we analyze.
It took other manufacturers a good while to catch up, and while there are now a lot of alternatives to the G Pro Wireless out there, it’s still one heck of a mouse. It’s got a very respectable weight of 81 grams, placing it firmly in that middle ground between ultralight mice and heavier mice. It also has pleasing buttons, a very safe shape (some might argue that it’s too safe) and a very decent coating and scroll wheel, making it a mouse that does little to nothing wrong overall. The feet aren’t up to today’s standards but there are plenty of aftermarket feet available if you want a slicker glide, so that shouldn’t hold you back from buying this one.
If you’re looking for a reliable wireless mouse with a shape that should suit a very large variety of grip types then this one is very hard to look past. Yes, it has been succeeded by the G Pro X Superlight, which is lighter and has better feet, but if those aren’t things that you’re bothered by you can definitely go for the G Pro Wireless as it’ll be a little bit friendlier on your wallet. It still is very much a mouse that lives up to today’s standards, which is also why so many pros are still using it today.

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.
Pros
- Fits most hands and grip styles
- Flawless wireless performance
- Great battery life
Cons
- High price
- Micro USB charging port is getting outdated

Razer Viper V2 Pro
The Viper V2 Pro is the successor to the Viper Ultimate. It’s an ambidextrous mouse design with a very light weight that’s focused on competitive gamers entirely. This focus on pro/competitive gaming did mean that some features had to be cut when compared to the Viper Ultimate, however. The V2 Pro lacks the dock functionality, for instance, and doesn’t have side buttons on the right side.
If you’re looking for a very lightweight gaming mouse (59 grams for the V2 Pro, compared to 74 for the Viper Ultimate) from one of the biggest gaming brands in the world then this is one to look at. Its flat, very neutral shape means that it can be used by a wide variety of people too, so this is a great mouse to go for if you’re unsure as to what your shape preferences and so on are but you do know that you want a top tier gaming mouse.

All in all, the Razer Viper V2 Pro is an impressive release, and if you’re looking for a very lightweight wireless ambidextrous mouse you should take a look at this one. It’s packed full of exciting tech, performs flawlessly, and it feels rock solid despite weighing less than a tennis ball.
Pros
- Grip tape included
- Lightweight
- Gen 3 optical switches feel and perform great
- Flawless wireless performance
- Removed right side buttons make for a more consistent grip, but makes the mouse unusable for lefties
- Capable of 4KHz polling rate in wireless mode (with separate dongle)
Cons
- A bit too much post travel on the main buttons
- High price
- Loses the dock functionality that the V1 had
- 4KHz polling rate not achievable out of the box (you need a separate dongle)

Logitech G Pro X Superlight
When the G Pro X Superlight was revealed, the G Pro Wireless (the predecessor to this mouse) was getting somewhat outdated in the sense that some other companies had caught up with the technology behind it. When the Superlight was released, though, it was made clear that Logitech still knows how to innovate.
The G Pro X Superlight weighs a mere 62 grams, which is a weight reduction of around 20 grams when compared to its predecessor. Other changes include a swap to better stock feet and a change in the buttons in order to prevent accidental double clicking (which is an issue that sometimes arose with the older G Pro Wireless) but other than that the G Pro X Superlight stays true to what made its older sibling so darn popular in the first place. Whether or not these changes are worth it to you is something that you have to consider for yourself, but there’s no doubt that the Superlight is one super impressive piece of kit.

If you’re looking for an ultra lightweight wireless mouse with a safe shape this is a top option.

Logitech G703
The G703 is another one of Logitech’s mice with an impressive history. This shape initially debuted in the form of the G403. That mouse was released in tandem with the original G Pro which now often called the ‘G Pro Wired’ or ‘OG G Pro’. These two mice were among the first mice in the world to feature a completely flawless sensor (the 3366), making their release yet another landmark in the history of gaming peripherals. This G703 is the wireless version of that G403 shape.
What you get here is a mouse with a shape that seems to be pretty much ‘love it or hate it’. The very pronounced hump that’s located towards the back of the mouse definitely doesn’t suit everyone, but if you like that sort of palm-filling action in a mouse this is a great choice thanks to its flawless wireless connection, great buttons, satisfying scroll wheel, and decent glides.
Over the past couple of years this mouse has seen some small changes: instead of the 3366 that was initially found in the G703 there’s now a version with Logitech’s HERO sensor, for instance. That’s the same sensor that’s used in the G Pro Wireless, and the advantage of that one is that it draws less power, meaning that you get a longer battery life. The HERO version also weighs less, which is a definite bonus for some people as the G703 is on the heavier side compared to some of its compatriots.
If you want a wireless mouse and you prefer an ergonomic shape then this is a fantastic option to consider, provided you can get over the hump at the back of the mouse that seems to be a bit of a hit or miss affair with many gamers. If you’ve got the choice we’d recommend you to go for the HERO version (that one has a longer battery life and is lighter) but functionally there are no differences between the older G703s and the G703 HERO version so if you don’t care about those differences you can use either mouse.
Logitech G703
Used by 6 League of Legends players ()If you can (quite literally) get over the rather awkward hump this is gonna be a great mouse for just about anyone. The G703 is a top tier wireless mouse, featuring a flawless sensor, perfect wireless connection, and some of the best buttons in the business.
Pros
- Flawless wireless performance
- Unique ergonomic shape
Cons
- A bit heavy/unwieldy
- Stock feet could be smoother
- Micro USB connection is outdated

Logitech G Pro Gaming Mouse
Released many years ago alongside the G403 (which was aimed at more ‘casual’ gamers), this was a mouse that was developed squarely for competitive players, and one of the first mice to feature a completely flawless sensor.
Originally this was just called ‘G Pro’, but to avoid confusion with the G Pro Wireless that came behind it (and has a completely different shape) people often refer to it as ‘G Pro Wired’, even though it’s officially called ‘G Pro Gaming Mouse’. What’s in a name, right?
In any case: this small mouse was quickly adopted by professional gamers as their main piece of kit, and even though its popularity has faded over the years, this small ambidextrous mouse (with a shape that’s often lovingly referred to as ‘an egg shape’) still remains popular, with many people asking for a modern wireless iteration of this particular design. Recent models of the G Pro Gaming Mouse feature Logitech’s flagship HERO sensor and have an improved cable compared to the early 3366 versions, so if you’re planning on buying this one it’s a good idea to look out for these changes, as the improved cable does make for a much more pleasant experience.
If you love smaller ambidextrous mice and/or you’re someone who mains a fingertip (of fingertip inspired) grip then this could very well be the mouse of choice for you. It’s a great ‘no nonsense’ compact gaming mouse.

Logitech G903
The Logitech G903 is a mouse that comes with a ton of extra buttons and features, making it a mouse that’s, in theory, ideal for MMO gaming. The fact that it’s on the heavier side makes it a little less suited for competitive FPS gaming (with that said: some of the Overwatch League’s most prolific DPS players used this mouse in the past) but seeing as aim is much less of a factor in MMO games such as League of Legends, this is definitely a good one to consider if you’re looking for a gaming-grade mouse with extra functionality.
Due to the extra features it can double as a work/productivity mouse, and thanks to the fact that it has side buttons on both sides it’s also a product that can seamlessly be used by left-handed gamers. If you prefer heavier mice and/or you want to get as many extra features as possible on your mouse, this might very well be it.

Used by 6 League of Legends players ()The G903 has a nice and comfortable shape and packs all the features you could ever need on a gaming mouse (minus maybe a sniper button) and it has an amazing scroll wheel to boot. This all means that it’s a pretty hefty and large mouse (at 110 grams) but if you can get over that this is one of the better gaming mice out there in its category.
Pros
- Tons of extra buttons and options to configure
- Flawless wireless performance
Cons
- Heavy
- Can feel bulky due to the size and weight

Razer Viper Ultimate
The Razer Viper Ultimate is an older mouse at this point in time, and it was succeeded by the Viper V2 Pro, but that doesn’t mean that people should automatically go for the newer versions if you ask us, since there are a couple of meaningful differences between the two mice.
Whereas the V2 goes all in on hardcore (FPS) gamers with a reduced weight, it did have to cut some features in order to achieve that, and this Ultimate version obviously still has those features. The main differences can be seen on the exterior: the Ultimate comes with a charging dock (that also has RGB lighting which can double as a battery indicator) and side buttons on the right side. If you’re a left-handed gamer and you want to try out Razer’s latest and greatest, this should be a mouse to look out for. If you’re someone who doesn’t really care about weight or having the latest and greatest tech inside of their mouse, this is also a good option due to the fact that it’s available at reduced prices these days.

Used by 2 League of Legends players ()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.
Pros
- Great wireless performance
- Lightweight design
- Optical switches are more reliable than mechanical ones
- Great stock feet
- Charging dock is an amazing addition
Cons
- Optical switches aren’t as snappy as mechanical switches
- Scroll wheel feels ‘buried’ between the buttons
- Scroll wheel feels inconsistent

Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro
The Razer DeathAdder has been the weapon of choice for absolute legends such as Faker, but it’s also quite simply an iconic mouse outside of LoL.
This famous mouse design underwent significant design changes when it went from the V2 to the V3, and now it’s a lot boxier and more approachable than its predecessors.
Under the hood, you get a top tier sensor and optical switches, and all of this comes bundled in a lightweight package. If comfort if what you’re looking for, you should give this one a try, but it’s also easily one of the best gaming mice out there at this point in time. It’s the mouse of choice for many pro gamers, ranging from shooters to MOBAs, so it absolutely won’t disappoint you should you decide to go for it.

Razer Viper V3 Pro
The Razer Viper V3 Pro is without a doubt one of the strongest releases of 2024. It has top tier internals (including a flawless sensor capable of polling rates of up to 8000Hz as well as optical switches) and a great build quality, all packed into a shell that weighs a mere 54 grams.
These top specs are enough to make it one of the most impressive releases of 2024, but in order to ensure its success, Razer changed the design. The flat and long shape of the Viper V2 Pro has been replaced by a boxier, safer design that is more reminiscent of mice like the Logitech G Pro X Superlight.
If you want a lightweight ambidextrous gaming mouse with top internals that’s made by one of the scene’s biggest brands, this is a good choice.

Best Mouse for League of Legends – Conclusion
Even though League of Legends is completely different from the majority of the games that we analyze, the basic principles of choosing the right gaming mouse don’t change at all. You will want a mouse that offers you a lossless connection (be it wired or wireless) that is, and this is the most important aspect, comfortable for you, so in a way the best mouse for League of Legends depends on personal preferences. We write these guides in order to inform you on current trends in the pro scene, but if you feel like the shape of our number one mouse wouldn’t suit you it would be unwise to go for that one just because the majority of professionals are using it.
