AI Summary

The video ranks popular gaming mice from D to S tier, critiquing each based on weight, sensor, build quality, and price. The host delivers blunt opinions, calling out overpriced models and praising value picks.

[0:00]
Logitech G502 – D Tier

Weighs over 120g, poor stock skates, terrible rubber cable, outdated design. Only saved by low price and Hero sensor.

[0:37]
Viper V3 Pro – A Tier

54g, excellent sensor, low click delay, great symmetrical shape for palm/claw grip. Held back by $150 price.

[1:17]
Attack Shark X3 – C Tier

Viral TikTok alternative to G Pro Superlight, but plagued by poor quality, questionable performance, and awful battery life. Many units arrived broken.

[1:52]
G Pro X Superlight 2 – B Tier

Overpriced at $160, worst stock skates, unresponsive side buttons. Good sensor and click latency, but should cost $120.

[2:31]
OP1 8K V2 – S Tier

Best performance with 70µs delay and 309050 sensor. Built like a tank, customizable with included screwdriver.

[3:04]
VXE R1 Pro – A Tier

$30, surprisingly good performance, comfortable shape, 4K polling. Destroys Attack Shark in every category.

[3:30]
DeathAdder V4 – S Tier

Best sensor (45K DPI), V4 optical switches, favorite shape. Expensive but worth it.

[4:14]
Skyrox V6 – S Tier

Razer Viper Mini Pro for $70, premium coating, 309050 sensor, 8K polling, 40g weight. Insane value.

[4:45]
Finalmouse – D Tier

Over $200 but plagued by QC issues: creaking, side bending, switch flexing. Avoid; get Beast XMax instead.

The host recommends the OP1 8K V2, DeathAdder V4, and Skyrox V6 as top performers, while warning against overpriced or poorly built mice like the G502 and Finalmouse.

[00:00] Today I'm going to rank the most popular

[00:02] gaming mice from D all the way to S

[00:04] tier. Starting with the Logitech G502.

[00:07] This mouse would be an instant S tier if

[00:09] it was 2016. But today, this mouse is

[00:12] nothing but a joke. The mouse weighs

[00:14] over 120 g, uses some of the worst stock

[00:16] PTFE skates, has terrible rubber cable,

[00:19] and design looks like it was made by

[00:21] Chad GTP. I know I will get a lot of

[00:23] hate for saying this, but the mouse is

[00:26] just terrible and deserves to go

[00:27] straight to D2. The only reason it's not

[00:30] going to be F is because it is

[00:32] relatively cheap and has a Hero sensor

[00:34] which performs really well. Next up, we

[00:37] got the Viper V3 Pro. And this mouse

[00:39] goes straight to A tier without any

[00:41] questions. Unlike the G502, this mouse

[00:44] only weighs 54 g while not having to fit

[00:47] a whole battery in there. Besides that,

[00:49] the mouse has one of the best sensors

[00:51] out there and some of the lowest click

[00:54] delay a wireless mouse can have. It also

[00:56] has one of my favorite symmetrical mouse

[00:58] shapes any mouse can have, which favors

[01:00] the palm and clog grip. Everything about

[01:02] this mouse is amazing, and nothing more

[01:04] has to be said about it. The only reason

[01:06] it is not an S tier is because this

[01:09] mouse costs around $150. And in my

[01:12] opinion, you can find mice that are 95%

[01:14] as good for like half the price. Up

[01:17] next, we got the Attack Shark X3, which

[01:19] is a mouse that went viral on Tik Tok as

[01:22] a $50 Grox Super Light alternative. But

[01:25] I got to break the news to you. This

[01:27] mouse is just mid. The mouse is littered

[01:29] with terrible quality, questionable

[01:31] performance, and a god awful battery

[01:33] life. I'm pretty sure most people who

[01:35] bought this mouse received it broken

[01:37] because at the peak of its popularity, I

[01:40] was seeing reports after reports of this

[01:42] mouse just breaking and not working. I'm

[01:44] going to put this mouse into Ctier

[01:46] because it's like $40 and it has 3030

[01:49] 95. Moving on, we got the GRX Superite

[01:52] 2. This mouse, for what it is, is

[01:54] extremely overpriced. It costs around

[01:56] $160 and offers nothing a mouse for $80

[02:00] would not offer. The GPRX Superite 2 has

[02:03] some of the worst stock PTFE skates I

[02:05] had the displeasure of ever using, while

[02:07] having some of the least responsive side

[02:09] buttons as well. Now, I would not

[02:11] complain about this as much if it was

[02:13] not for the fact that this mouse cost

[02:15] $160. Besides those flows, the mouse is

[02:18] pretty good at having one of the best

[02:20] sensors and click latency out of any

[02:22] mouse. If this mouse would be like $120,

[02:25] I will put it higher, but for the price

[02:27] they're charging, I'm giving this mouse

[02:29] a generous B tier. The fifth mouse on

[02:31] this list is the OP18K V2, and I'm going

[02:35] to have to put this mouse into the S

[02:37] tier. This is the best mouse when it

[02:39] comes to performance, having just 70

[02:41] microsconds delay and the 309050, which

[02:44] is the best widely available sensor out.

[02:47] The mouse is also built like a tank. I

[02:49] had the V1 version of this mouse, and I

[02:51] totally recommend checking it out if you

[02:53] care about performance and quality above

[02:55] all else. The mouse is also easily

[02:57] customizable and even comes with a

[02:59] screwdriver, allowing you to switch the

[03:01] switches in like 5 minutes. Next up, we

[03:04] got the VXCR R1 Pro. I'm giving this

[03:06] mouse a solid A tier as it cost $30 and

[03:09] has surprisingly good performance. A

[03:12] very comfortable shape and even 4K

[03:14] polling. This mouse destroys the Attack

[03:16] Shark in every category and offers a

[03:18] really good performance for relatively

[03:20] affordable price. This is one of my

[03:22] go-to mice when somebody asks me what

[03:24] gaming mouse they should buy. The mouse

[03:26] also has a low weight and a decent

[03:28] battery performance for the price.

[03:30] Moving on, we have the newest release

[03:32] from Razer, the Death Fatter V4. The

[03:34] Death Fatter V4 has everything you would

[03:36] expect from high-end Razer mouse. It has

[03:39] currently the best sensor, which can go

[03:41] as high as 45K DPI. The mouse also uses

[03:44] the newest V4 optical switches, which

[03:47] actually feel good. The shape is the

[03:49] same as the one in Death Federer V3,

[03:51] which is one of my personal favorite

[03:53] mouse shapes, as it literally feels like

[03:55] a glove when holding. I promise I'm not

[03:57] getting paid by Razer to say this, but

[03:59] this mouse gets an easy S tier for

[04:02] having the best performing sensor. one

[04:04] of my favorite shapes and some of the

[04:05] best optical switches out there. I know

[04:07] this mouse is expensive, but I think

[04:09] this is one rare case where you're not

[04:11] overpaying. Next up, we have the Skyrox

[04:14] V6 and is going right next to the Death

[04:16] Adder V4 at Sier. This mouse is

[04:19] basically a Razer Viper Mini Pro for

[04:21] only $70, which is genuinely insane. As

[04:24] if any other brand would make this, they

[04:26] would charge a minimum of $100 for this,

[04:28] but Skyrox is just a G. This mouse is

[04:31] one of the most highquality mice I've

[04:33] ever tried, having a very nice premium

[04:35] coating, a 30, 90, 50, 8k polling, and

[04:38] weights only 40 g. Also, the box opens

[04:41] like some sort of jack in a box, so

[04:43] bonus points for that. Lastly, the last

[04:45] mouse in today's video is the final

[04:47] mouse, which I will put into D tier.

[04:50] Before you get mad at me for putting the

[04:52] mouse clicks uses into D tier, hear me

[04:54] out. The reason this mouse is this low

[04:56] in the list is because of final mouse QC

[04:59] issues. I don't know if that just me or

[05:01] my broke has, but if I were to pay over

[05:03] $200 for a mouse, I would expect it to

[05:06] not have any quality problems with shell

[05:08] or switches.

[05:08] >> Absolutely rock solid. Rock solid.

[05:10] >> But that doesn't seem to be the case

[05:12] with the final mouse, as a lot of their

[05:14] mice come with creaking, sidebending, or

[05:16] switch flexing, which would be

[05:17] acceptable for like $50 or $60 mouse,

[05:20] but for $200, this is just a scam. I

[05:23] would avoid this mouse and get the Beast

[05:25] XMax instead, which costs less. Thank

[05:27] you all for watching. Let me know if I

[05:29] missed any mouse and tell me if you

[05:30] agree or disagree with the list. See

[05:32] you.
