The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 is a phenomenal gaming mouse. It has performance capable of satisfying even the most competitive of gamers, it’s comfortable to use and can last multiple days on a single charge. And let’s be honest — it just looks great, too. Logitech’s Pro-series mouse is fantastic, but it’s also expensive at $160, and there are some excellent alternatives available.

The Viper V3 Pro is slightly larger than Logitech’s mouse and with a slight curve to the left. It’s much more comfortable to hold with a palm grip, while the G Pro X feels better with a claw grip. Razer opts for two large feet on the bottom of the mouse, too, helping it glide with little to no friction.
You’re not giving up much for a lower price, either. The M75 Air has a lower polling rate wirelessly, but for all but the most competitive gamers, you won’t notice a difference. You’re still getting high performance out of this mouse, too. It includes Corsair’s 25K Marksman optical sensor, as well as optical switches on both mouse buttons. Corsair says those can hold up for 100 million clicks each.
While the G Pro X Superlight 2 is focused on delivering peak performance for players at the top, the G305 is built for the average player. You’re not getting insane polling rates or Logitech’s most cutting-edge sensor, but you’re still getting plenty of performance. Logitech’s Hero sensor is still at work under the hood, providing sensitivity up to 12,000 DPI. The mouse is also extremely comfortable to use, regardless of if you use a palm or claw grip.
The Aerox 5 Wireless has the specs, but it’s the extra buttons that stand out — it includes five thumb buttons. All of the mice on this list, including the G Pro X Superlight 2, include just two remappable thumb buttons. That’s fine for focused shooters like Valorant and Rainbow Six Siege, but the extra buttons on the Aerox 5 are incredibly useful in other games. You can map your extra abilities to them in Destiny 2, or your build options in Fortnite.
