Now that wireless gaming mice are just as fast and feature-packed as their wired counterparts, going wireless can be a savvy move, giving you greater flexibility as a gamer. But before you cut loose and buy one, it’s worth noting they’re not all alike. You’ll still need to consider factors like weight, dots per inch (DPI) and battery life which can be telling factors in how your gaming mouse performs and ultimately how you will perform in games.
Our expert reviewers have put these mice through their paces, testing them across a range of scenarios, and over extended periods of time. Below are the results of that effort: Our picks of the best wireless gaming mice. (For more about our evaluation process, see how we test gaming mice.)
1. G502 Lightspeed
MSRP:
$149.99
We already loved the G502 even before it went wireless. But now that this mighty mouse is paired with an innovative inductive wireless charging system, ensuring the trickle-charged mouse is never without power, we love the G502 Lightspeed even more.

2. SteelSeries Aerox 9
MSRP:
$149.99
SteelSeries Aerox 9 is a rare find among wireless gaming mouse in that it packs a whopping 18 programmable buttons but weighs just 89 grams. That makes it an excellent option if you like to tinker with commands and macros in MOBA and MMO games but don’t want to compromise on speed. We also like the Aerox 9 for its fast 18,000 CPI sensor, dual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and futuristic honey-comb design.

Like the G502, the G903 is supported by Logitech’s Powerplay Wireless Charging system. It features many of the same features as the G502, with the addition of having a more ambidextrous shape. It can usually be found for around the same price as the G502, too.

5. Logitech G603
MSRP:
$69.99
If you don’t want to deal with recharging, especially in a gaming mouse that meants to take on the road, Logitech’s G603 is a respectable battery-powered option that makes it well suited for travel. Two AA batteries will net you hundreds of hours of gameplay. Make no mistake, the G603 feels substantial, like a proper gaming mouse. And it performs like a proper gaming mouse, as well.
