The Best Lightweight Gaming Mice of 2021..SO FAR!

The mouse that required the most time for my own hand readjustment because of the weight was the Logitech G Pro Wireless, with its 90 grams of weight being almost twice as much as what I'm normally playing with. This is something to keep in mind for example, flicking between each target felt kind of janky and even though a heavier mouse might give you more control, it is all about that wrist memory.

Toe sensor performance was totally satisfactory for this price range, also I will say the liftoff distance is the highest in this mouse versus everything else in this roundup. Something to keep in mind and even though it was lowered in the lowest position in the driver software is still a little bit too high. It does track and catch mouse movement when I'm like hovering around the mouse mat and when it's not exactly placed down.

NinjaJutsu Origin 1X is another impressive surprise, which claims to be the world's lightest wireless ergonomic lightweight mouse, and they're doing so many things right here for the $79 price point. With a 66 gram non-honeycomb all-solid shell design, following the footsteps of Razer and Launch Deck, which is amazing build quality is totally fine too. Nothing creaks nothing rattles but like with many mice with similar button design there is a bit of play on the primary triggers that you can feel with normal use when you go side to side.

The sensor here is the same Power Efficient Paw 3335 with battery life up to 48 hours, the USB dongle is not labeled nor can it be stored on the mouse which is a bummer and that USB-C port for charging is awesome but it's kind of deep in the body so none of my cables actually fit in there. It's a good thing that the cable is included it is a plug-and-play mouse which is a positive you don't have to install any drivers and you have four DPI settings that you switch with this button underneath unfortunately because there's no drivers you don't have precise DPI control so if any of those don't really work for you then that kind of sucks.

The main selling points however are the Kl GM 8.0 80 million switches which are super crispy and tactile, take a listen this also has one of the best scroll wheels I've ever felt on a mouse with super precise scroll steps to give you a lot of control. Oh yeah we also have massive PTFE feet at the bottom for really smooth glide and finally that Intelli Mouse Explorer shape I love the low profile the ergo curvature the slight flaring in the front it's all making me want to switch to the One X as my main from now on because this mouse gives me the best movement on screen for finding targets in all directions meaning it's almost effortless aiming in all four quadrants on screen something that I realize is a huge advantage for games with a lot of verticality like Quick Champions or EFT.

I feel like with all other mice in this roundup I have some inconsistencies between top bottom left and right aim whereas with like the X Light from Pulsar I'm fantastic of finding targets in my upper portion of the screen but anytime a target shows up at the bottom I have some difficulty of like finding it and following it up whereas with the One X it is perfect throughout the whole screen. So just like with my main MM720 I feel like the One X is almost effortless plug-and-play I put my hand on this 800 DPI and I'm golden flying around I feel like I know exactly where the cursor will land through my physical motion.

In conclusion, these two mice are very impressive and offer a lot of value for their price range. The Logitech G Pro Wireless offers good performance but has some minor issues with build quality and sensor accuracy. NinjaJutsu Origin 1X on the other hand is an amazing surprise that offers incredible performance at an affordable price. Both mice have their own strengths and weaknesses, but overall they are great options for anyone looking for a high-quality gaming mouse.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwell hello good people i'm dmitry there have been so many fantastic lightweight affordable mice releases on the market lately that i want to cover some of these that are actually worth considering and check out what these under the radar mice are all about shall we so basically if you're looking for a lightweight option you've come to the right place because all these mice range in weight quite significantly from 49 grams all the way up to 90 grams and they all cater to a slightly different user because of the shape so these four mice have been kind of like in my personal rotation as i get to experience just how good or bad these options really are which allow me to kind of work with my aim trainers and actually get more confidence for online play and these include the 59 pulsar x light the 29 qatar pro xt from corsair the ninjutsu origin one x at 79 which is the most expensive mouse in this round up and the driver falcon wireless at just 50 dollars what's awesome is that all these mice are actually available to purchase links below and they all have their slight different quirks that are not just copy paste of each other so if you've already seen our previous recommendations and previous mice roundups you my friend have come to the right place because these are some of the best lightweight and affordable options for 2021 guaranteed do you want your processor to feel immense pressure and incredible cooling gotta get the glacier one the phanteks all one coolers come on 240 280 and 360 variants with the all-new azitec pump design that is powerful and quiet plus this infinity mirror cab that further muffles the pump noise and adds gorgeous argb illumination you get an easy mounting system high static pressure fans that you can daisy change for simple routing and a set of clips for tube management oh the glacier one coolers by phanteks check them out below okay so let's start with one most interesting mice to hit my space the pulsar x light it's not crazy expensive but it is crazy light at 49 grams which is what i'm used to with my main mm720 mouse we got the paw 3370 sensor which is considered to be like the end game of sensors with omron 20 million click switches the mouse comes with grip tape which is so fantastic to see because the mouse is super lightweight so you want to have a bit more control while handling the mouse and i found that placing grip tape on the right trigger gave me like fantastic control where i don't really need it anywhere else and just having that middle finger a bit more secured on the mouse wow what a difference also an extra set of ptfe feet is included for later swapping and this little thing which they call a micro bungee you attach it below your monitor and it raises the cable to avoid cable drag and the cable by the way is slightly thicker versus like the razer vipers which is nothing to complain about it's nice and light now the most interesting thing about the x-lite is the shell because half of it is basically missing underneath with that visible pcb i have never seen anything like it and this allows pulsar to one shave off some weight but also really give it to many other manufacturers of delivering such a fantastically built mouse because nothing is creaking there's no flex anywhere in the body in the in the usual side side like pressing and that is really impressive shape wise it is ergonomic it is a slightly higher body versus what i normally use but still a very comfortable shape for my hand size flicking with this mouse is perfect but i do need to reduce my dpi below 800 to give me extra control because of how light the mouse is and for some reason tracking of my targets with this mouse is very poor not because of the extremely smooth glide but because of the weight when you go below 50 grams it's like a whole new thing where you have to retrain your hand and the mouse i mean it's slightly bigger than my mm720 so my wrist memory is a bit out of whack especially when it comes to using the same weight but a different shape mouse so tracking with this one for my play style is a bit more challenging because even with this grip tape and like the slides everything is smooth but i feel like it's a bit too light for the size whereas the m720 is slightly more low profile and it's just overall like a smaller mouse but with that one i can track slightly better so flicking with this thing is fantastic finding targets on screen is fantastic but tracking targets especially for my style it's a bit difficult you should also keep in mind there is no dpi switch on the body itself so you have to go into the software which is no bs super simple but you do have to access it if you want to switch dpi lastly i love the side browser buttons which feel awesome the scroll wheel is great too with a nice light middle click the primary triggers have slightly longer travel distance versus everything else in this roundup but it's still nice and crispy and tactile ridiculous all right so let's move on to something a bit more simple this is the corsair qatar pro xt and in my opinion for 29 this is the best lightweight option you can buy right now period for 29 okay that's important bit it is like a slightly more refined and tuned g203 from logitech with a 73 gram body a solid pwm 33 91 sensor omron 50 million click switches that are my favorite in this roundup and this is probably the only rgb peripheral on this planet earth that has proper white illumination you see that it's white it's not like slightly blue or slightly green or slightly red it is properly white which i appreciate and the cable for this price point is awesome too almost identical to the x like mouse but it's really the shape that will sell overall it feels fantastic and the weight is that good middle ground between not too light and not too heavy it's going to offer excellent competition against the g203 and the 305 of the world the main difference between the g203 are the deeper grooves on the main triggers on the qatar mouse that for me is a positive in terms of comfort and some texture on the sides that for my thumb is okay but on my right side where my pinky finger and my ring finger rest is a bit irritating and i wish that that side was smooth just like the rest of the body the whole build actually feels a little plastic and kind of cheap as expected for 29 price point but i do like the texture and the overall feeling of the g203 better but the glide on the corsair mouse is so much smoother versus logitech and also the switches are incredibly lightweight and crispy really satisfying take a listen the main benefit with this mouse for me is switching between moving targets and this is the mouse that gives me consistently the best tracking which is my least improved skill strangely this mouse feels the best at 650 dpi versus my usual 800 and one thing you should also not forget is disable that precision tracking in iq which is for some reason enabled by default now let's move on to something wireless with the drevel falcon wireless and the only reason it's here is because it's basically a budget version of the g pro wireless from logitech so the shape is 99 identical it is the heaviest mouse in this roundup but also super affordable at under 50 the 2.4 gigahertz dongle can be stashed inside the shell and the usbc cable can be used for charging with up to 56 hours of battery life with rgb on or up to 96 hours with it off but still it's a pretty cool uniform illumination coming through the honeycomb shell the sensor is the power efficient paw 3335 switches are omron 20 million clicks and we have 100 ptfe feet that are black but you can immediately tell this is a cheap budget variation of what logitech offers okay so there's a lot of creaking on the body regardless of what you press sideways from the top there's something creaking on the inside even when i hold all the mouse buttons including the scroll wheel you can hear there's something rattling inside and also the scroll wheel is a bit disappointing the scroll steps are not defined and it's not easy to control plus the dpi switch fantastic to have but it's so hard to press like you would require full on hand readjustment uh also to reach it it's not in the best spot so overall build quality is a little bit subpar but it does give you really good performance so it is the good points that matter the most so the primary triggers are almost as light as the g pro wireless it has a much smoother glide versus the logitech offerings and like i said earlier the shape is basically a clone of the pro wireless so it's extremely comfortable for hybrid and claw grips the weight balance is actually okay and this is the mouse that required the most time for my own hand readjustment because of the weight 90 grams it's almost twice the weight of what i'm normally playing with and so this is something to keep in mind for example flicking between each target felt kind of janky and even though a heavier mouse might give you more control it is all about that wrist memory still toe sensor performance is totally satisfactory for this price range also i will say the liftoff distance is the highest in this mouse versus everything else in this roundup something to keep in mind and even though it was lowered in the lowest position in the driver software is still a little bit too high it does track and catch mouse movement when i'm like hovering around the mouse mat and when it's not exactly placed down and so let's finish off on another really impressive surprise with ninjutsu origin 1x which claims to be the world's lightest wireless ergonomic lightweight mouse and to be honest they're doing so many things right here for the 79 price point with a 66 gram non honeycomb all solid shell design following the footsteps of razer and launch deck which is amazing build quality is totally fine too nothing

cursor will land through my physical motion uh so yeah i would highly recommend you check this out and all the other mice in this roundup as well because i feel like they kind of cater to a different user scenario you have wireless you have really lightweight options you have that middle ground super affordable ones as well so yeah i hope you enjoyed this one thanks so much for watching check out
