Best Mouse for VALORANT

Introduction

VALORANT is a game that take a lot of notes from competitive shooters like Counter-Strike, and just like in that game, your precision matters a lot so you’re gonna want a good (FPS) gaming mouse. If you’re looking to buy your first real gaming mouse (or you just want to upgrade your older one) you’ve come to the right place. We’ve been taking a look at what the current VALORANT stars are using and we’ve used our data to come up with this list to help you find your personal best mouse for VALORANT.

Want even more info? We’ve got the specs and details on over 250 analyzed gaming mice in our gaming mice spec list.

What makes a mouse good for VALORANT?

VALORANT is a tactical shooter where the time to kill (commonly abbreviated as ‘TTK’) is very low. Just a few well-placed bullets result in a kill, so obviously you’re going to want to use a mouse that has a flawless sensor. These have been the norm in any gaming mouse worth its salt for years now, so you generally don’t need to worry about that. With that said, things like the sensor and wireless implementation do matter a great deal, so you need to get a gaming mouse that’s well-built and made for competition at the highest tiers. Luckily, all the mice in this article match that description.

These days, most gaming mice also come with sensors that allow you to use higher polling rates. Whether or not that’s a huge advantage comes down to your system and how sensitive you are to these things, but it can be good to read up on the subject if you’re considering a new purchase.

Aside from the sensor, though, a lot comes down to personal preference. Sure, you want a mouse with good build quality, nice and tactile clicks, smooth feet, and all of that jazz but some of the most important factors (such as shape, for example) are entirely subjective. In case you’re completely new to this subject we’ve got a guide that should help you choose your perfect gaming mouse right here. If you more or less know what you want you can read this guide in peace: every mouse in this article is a top tier gaming mouse in its own right, complete with a flawless sensor, so you just have to figure out what you want as far as features go!

Razer Viper V3 Pro

The Razer Viper V3 Pro is the successor to the Viper V2 Pro. Much like, its predecessor, the Viper V3 Pro does not disappoint when it comes to performance and features. It’s an esports-focused mouse that was designed with input from some of the world’s best gamers.

The shape is one of the major changes to the Viper V3 Pro over the V2 Pro. The V3 is boxier and more compact when compared to the V2. We have already reviewed the Viper V3 Pro in detail where we have gone into more depth about the shape changes, so you can check that out if you want more info. In short: the Viper V3 Pro is now more similar to the Logitech G Pro X Superlight.

As is the case with all top tier Razer mice, the Viper V3 Pro does not disappoint when it comes to performance. It features the Focus Pro 35K Optical sensor, which is capable of 8KHz polling rates. There are also optical switches inside the mouse, making it more responsive and less prone to switch failure. It’s been out for a while now and has been used on some of the world’s most important esports stages, so this is very much a top-tier and pro-approved gaming mouse.

To sum it up, the Viper V3 Pro is one of the best mice you can get for VALORANT. It’s fast, responsive, lightweight, and filled with useful features. It is an expensive investment but its performance is worth the price if you like what you’re reading about the shape.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight

The Logitech G Pro Wireless (which is the mouse that this one is based on) was a fantastic mouse that shook the gaming world to its core when it first released, but eventually the competition started catching up, which led a lot of people to wonder what Logitech’s next move would be. The next move was the Superlight, which reinforced Logitech’s position as one of the world’s most respected equipment manufacturers.

The most notable feature is the extremely safe shape. This was designed after countless feedback rounds with professionals, and the result is a design that feels like it fits pretty much every hand and grip style out there. As a tradeoff, the Superlight isn’t the best if you’re looking for a specialized type of grip, but if you want a safe shape, this is the one to look for.

It’s an older mouse at this point in time but it’s still a great product, as is proven by the amount of pros who are still using it. If you are interested in the Superlight, we do recommend going for the Superlight 2, however. That’s a much more modern version (it has a USB-C charging port rather than Micro-USB, for example)

Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro

Razer’s DeathAdder is one of the most famous lines of mice to ever exist. Razer’s updates to this mouse haven’t always been as successful, leading the DeathAdder’s usage numbers to drop a bit in the early years of the 2020s, but the brand returned to form with the DeathAdder V3 Pro.

The new shape (the V3 is a lot shorter and ‘boxier’ than its flat and long predecessor) combines all of the best that Razer has to offer: optical switches (which last longer and are faster than traditional mechanical switches), a cutting edge sensor, great stock feet, and a very light weight of 63 grams. This mouse is built like a tank and looks and feels fantastic to use, and to top it all of it’s capable of higher polling rates.

While some DeathAdder aficionados might not agree with the shape change, it’s hard to argue with the results: the V3 has a safer shape than its predecessors, and we’ve seen a meteoric rise in its usage numbers when compared to its predecessors across pretty much all of our analyzed games.

If you’re looking for a wireless ergonomic mouse with top tier components then you should look towards the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro or its successor, the DeathAdder V4 Pro.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2

The Logitech G Pro X Superlight is not a new name for anyone in the competitive shooter genre. It’s gaming mouse royalty and arguably the most successful esports mouse ever made. The Superlight 2 is the successor to the original Superlight.

Physically, the mouse looks the same. There are no changes to the shape or the design. It’s the same ‘one shape fits all’ shape that made the original so popular.

It’s the hardware underneath where Logitech has made some good upgrades. Firstly, the Superlight 2 now features hybrid switches instead of mechanical ones. Optical switches are better and more durable than mechanical switches so this is a good addition.

Apart from the buttons, the mouse now has a new sensor capable of 8KHz polling rates. Using higher polling rates will drain the battery faster, reducing it from 95 hours on 1K Hz to 50 hours at 4KHz. Luckily, the charging process is now less painful due to the inclusion of a USB-C charging port.

In short, Superlight 2 feels more like an update rather than a new addition to the series. The updates are nice, but the difference in performance between the two is barely noticeable to most people. Also, the fact that the Superlight 2 is more expensive might be a deal-breaker for some people. 

If you are going to buy a Superlight mouse, we recommend the Superlight 2, but if you’re rocking an original Superlight that still works there’s no big need to upgrade.

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

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 V4 Pro

The DeathAdder V4 Pro is the successor to V3 Pro, which was the mouse that made the DeathAdder line popular again in pro circles. As such, there haven’t been big changes to the overall design. We did see a weight reduction of 7 grams, a new coating, larger skates, and refreshed side buttons. Under the hood, the DAV4 Pro sports Razer’s latest Focus Pro 45K Gen-2 sensor, and the scroll wheel has an optical encoder. Finally, the battery life has also improved, and there’s also a newly designed dongle.

If you’re not that into gaming mice and you’re curious what this all means: it means that the DeathAdder V4 Pro is one of the most technologically advanced gaming mice out there. But the DeathAdder V3 Pro is still very much a top product, too. So if you’re on a bit of a budget, you can safely go for the older version. If you want one of the best ergo mice out there right now, though, the V4 Pro is the one to go for.

The Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro is a fantastic gaming mouse that does pretty much everything right.

Given how good the V3 Pro already was, that makes the DeathAdder V4 Pro one of the best mice out there at this point in time.

Razer Viper V2 Pro

The Razer Viper V2 Pro is the successor to the Viper Ultimate. It is essentially a more stripped down version of its predecessor, cutting down on the weight (as well as the side buttons on the right side) in order to be a more esports-focused device. This also meant that some features got stripped, however. The Viper V2 Pro isn’t compatible with the charging dock that came with the Ultimate anymore, for example.

It’s a pretty old mouse at this point in time, but it was so advanced that it’s still considered to be a good choice in this day and age. If you’re looking for a top tier wireless ambidextrous esports mouse with a flat and neutral shape, the Viper V2 Pro is a worthy contender.

Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition

Whenever a brand decides to build a gaming mouse, the goal is to keep the performance high, and the cost low. Razer already did that with the original Viper series. But, they wanted to go all out on a premium mouse without thinking of the cost, and the result was the Viper Mini SE. It’s a top-of-the-line, luxurious version of the Viper Mini. 

Everything about this mouse shouts luxury. Firstly, it comes in a leather box and the unboxing experience is phenomenal. The Viper Mini SE comes with 2 separate mouse feet (standard PTFE and glass), alcohol pads, rubberized grips, a microfiber cloth, and a HyperPolling (8KHz) dongle.

The mouse is focused on being lightweight, weighing in at around 49g. In order to achieve this weight, Razer went for an exo-skeletal design that looks and feels unique. The mouse is also quite sturdy and rigid, thanks to the magnesium alloy that has been used for the shell. 

Performance-wise, it’s the same as the Viper V2 Pro. It’s got the same Focus 30K sensor, 8KHz polling rate, and Gen3 optical switches. Top tier Razer mice are fantastic performers, so you can expect esport-grade performances out of the Viper Mini SE as well.

To sum it up, the Viper Mini SE certainly isn’t for everyone. You can get the same performance for significantly less money from Razer itself or other brands. It’s the build quality, design, and exclusivity that sets the Viper Mini SE apart. It’s an enthusiast-grade esports mouse with a luxury price tag.

Lamzu Maya X

Lamzu is a brand that might not ring a bell with casual gamers, but it’s without a doubt one that will sound familiar with enthusiasts. Over the past couple of years, the brand has been steadily building an impressive catalogue of reliable and well-performing gaming mice that aren’t the usual clones of ultra popular shapes. The brand does its own thing, and it does it well.

The Maya X is a larger ambidextrous mouse that comes in at just 47 grams. It features a top-tier sensor that allows for polling rates of up to 8000Hz and also comes with optical switches. To summarize: this is a top-end gaming mouse, and it can be bought for a great price compared to similarly-specced mice from the big brands.

With little to no objective downsides, this is one to consider if you’re looking for a larger ultralight mouse to play VALORANT (or any other game) with.
