Ultralight Mice Under 50 g: Our Top Picks

Ultralight mice are much-loved by gamers, because they’re fast to maneuver and have low latency. They also tend to be compact and easily portable — perfect for on-the-go gamers. Here are our top ultralight mice under 50 g that you should consider adding to your setup. Here is GravaStar’s ultralight mouse guide for quick comparison.

Best Mouse Overall 

1. Pulsar X3 (49 g) 

This mouse is very new on the market, but it’s looking set to make a big splash. Weighing in at just 49 grams, the Pulsar X3 is light enough for speed and highly responsive thanks to a 1000 Hz polling rate. Whether you’re playing at home or competitively, it’s a worthwhile partner. 

We love that it’s extremely versatile. No matter your setup, it’ll fit right in with tri-mode connectivity (wireless, wired, and Bluetooth). And with a battery life of 200 hours, you can play hard for ages before needing to recharge. 

Unlike many ultralight mice, it features a solid shell that’s a little more durable than honeycombs. It also comes with switches rated for 80 million clicks, so this could be your next ride or die. 

This lightweight gaming mouse is surprisingly affordable and comes in both left- and right-handed models, so all gamers are covered.

Best Honeycomb Mouse 

2. Cooler Master MM720 (49 g) 

This fan-favorite comes in under 50 g and has a tracking speed of 400 ips, which gives it an advantage when it comes to quick flicks or swipes. It’s also ideal for precision aiming in FPS, thanks to the top-quality PixArt PMW3389 sensor, coming in at 16,000 DPI. 

It’s a good-looking piece of equipment that’ll fit perfectly into almost any gaming setup. Available in matte black, glossy black, matte white, and glossy white, you can’t go wrong adding one of these attractive honeycomb mice (complete with RGB lighting) to your rig. 

The ergonomic claw-grip design keeps your hand comfortable for hours on end. And with 6 buttons to customize, you can set it up to suit your gaming style to a T.

Lightest Gaming Mouse 

3. Zaunkoenig M1K (23 g) 

The Zaunkoenig M1K mouse is crafted from carbon fiber, which accounts for its exceptionally low weight. It feels almost like you’re gaming with nothing, but it’s definitely designed to be used by fingertip-grip gamers. It might not have the same effect if you use a different grip. 

It’s an excellent choice if you need something to facilitate fast movement and pinpoint precision in FPS games. The lack of extras could be a deal-breaker for some gamers, though. There’s no scroll wheel or side buttons, so some gamers might forgo it despite its very low 23-gram weight. 

Pros	Cons
✅ Exceptionally light at just 23 grams	❌ Extremely minimalist, may not be suitable for all gamers
✅ Precision aiming like you’ve never experienced before	❌ Designed for fingertip grip users, so might not be comfortable for all
✅ Neutral shape that makes play comfortable for hours on end

Weight	23 g
Sensor	Custom optical sensor
Comfort	Designed specifically for fingertip grip users
Build Quality	Made from carbon fiber and 3D-printed honeycomb plastic
Performance	Ultra-low weight allows for extremely fast movements and precision in FPS games
Price	From $160

Most Durable Mouse 

4. Turtle Beach Burst 2 Air (47 g) 

With switches rated for 100 million clicks and a tough but light solid outer shell, the Turtle Beach Burst 2 Air is designed to last. It features a more conventional design than some others, but it’s comfortable for hours on end and backed by a 120+ hour battery life for serious gamers. 

At just 47 grams and with a top-notch sensor, it’ll be a good choice for fast-paced gaming. It does have a slightly lower polling rate than some other models, but it’s more than enough for most gamers. 

Pros	Cons
✅ Switches rated for 100 million clicks	❌ Slightly lower polling rate compared to more expensive models
✅ Light weight and excellent sensor makes it good for speed
✅ Up to 120 hours of battery life

Comfort	Rounded, ergonomic design for hours of comfort
Build Quality	Solid construction with no noticeable creaking or flexing
Performance	Quick reaction times make it a good choice for FPS games
Price	$99.99

Best Wireless Mouse 

5. G-Wolves HTS Plus 8k (47 g) 

If you prefer a wireless gaming mouse, the G-Wolves Hati S Plus Wireless is our top pick. At 47 grams, it’s dropped a few grams since the last version, and it’s light enough for speedy movements. 

We like that it comes in a range of colors, which the others on this list don’t. It’s a comfortable mouse for claw-grip gamers, “locking in” your fingers for precise gameplay. 

Considering the 8k performance, 18 to 20 hours of battery life is still decent. USB-C charging is an upgrade from the previous version. You’ll get both a USB-C receiver cable and a charging cable in the box, and you can’t use the receiver cable to charge the mouse. 

Pros	Cons
✅ Light and easy to move during fast-paced games	❌ The battery life may be shorter than others due to the 8k performance
✅ Comes in various colors and finishes	❌ 2-cable system is cumbersome
✅ Very comfortable for claw-grip gamers

Key Specs 

Weight	47 g
Sensor	PixArt PAW3395 (26,000 DPI)
Comfort	Great comfort for claw grip
Build Quality	Thin but strong shell reduces weight without compromising durability
Performance	Low latency and high precision in FPS games
Price	$129 to $159

Ultralight Mouse Buying Guide 

When buying an ultralight mouse, prioritize a design that feels like an extension of your hand — lightweight enough for effortless control but durable enough to keep up with intense gaming. Opt for advanced sensors that deliver pinpoint accuracy, and ensure the shape perfectly matches your grip style for unparalleled comfort and precision.

Finding a lightweight gaming mouse in 2024 is easy, but finding one that ticks all your boxes requires some careful consideration. Here’s a detailed look at we recommend researching when choosing a light computer mouse: 

Performance in FPS Games 

Most gamers prefer an ultralight gaming mouse for first-person shooter games. They’re fast, easy to maneuver, and give you greater control over flick movements and precision aim. 

Their super lightweight nature means you need less effort to move the mouse, so you’ll most likely be able to play for longer without fatigue. Plus, reduced momentum makes it easier to stop precisely on your targets, improving your accuracy noticeably. 

Build Quality and Durability 

Many ultralight mice choose a honeycomb design for weight reduction. Even those that don’t use lightweight materials to lower weight, but take care to make them durable even for prolonged use. Open-bottom designs can significantly reduce weight, but are prone to collecting dust and debris over time. 

Sensor Quality and DPI Options 

A high-quality sensor is a must in competitive gaming mice. Most come equipped with state-of-the-art sensors, like the PixArt PAW 3395 or PMW 3389 sensor, most offer adjustable DPI settings (up to 26,000). 

Thanks to advanced sensor tech, most of these mice allow for precise tracking on almost any surface. Reduced lag is a huge bonus in competitive gaming, allowing for real-time responsiveness. 

Price and Value Comparison 

An ergonomic gaming mouse weighing under 50 g can vary widely in price across sellers and brands. Budget-friendly options like the Pulsar X3 (coming in at just $40 or so) offer excellent value for money. Higher-end models like the Zaunkoenig M1K, which are more specialized, cater mor

• Ultralight mice under 50 grams range widely in price:
• Budget-friendly options like the Pulsar X3 (~$40) offer excellent value without sacrificing performance.
• On the higher end, models like the Zaunkoenig M1K (~$200) cater to niche users looking for extreme lightness at a premium price. 

Comfort and Ergonomics 

Different mice are designed for different grip styles. Make sure the mouse you’re shopping for matches your grip style and hand size, or you’ll find it less comfortable, especially for longer stints behind the computer. 

Fingertip grippers, in particular, will benefit from lighter gaming mice, which require less effort to move while still staying accurate. Those with a palm grip would do better with an ergonomic shape featuring a hump near the back of the mouse. Claw grip players generally do well with mid-profile shapes that allow a bit of arch without too much bulk. 

Alternative Lightweight Mice Slightly Over 50 g 

Gamers with a palm- and claw-grip might prefer a bit of extra weight behind their movements. These are our favorite gaming mice on the market that weigh a bit more than 50 g. 

• Mercury M1 Pro: Weighing in at 88 g, it’s not ultralight, but its ergonomic design and hyper precision sensor provide comfortable gaming accuracy

• Glorious Model O: Weighs around 67 g, providing a balance between lightweight design and robust performance features 

• Razer Viper Mini: Approximately 61 g, with Razer’s renowned sensor quality and ergonomic design tailored for FPS gaming

• Logitech G Pro Wireless: Weighing about 80 g, it exceeds the ultralight category but is highly regarded for its performance and durability 

Choosing the right computer mouse for you depends on a number of factors, and weight is just one. If you’re a competitive FPS gamer, low weight will be high on your list of must-haves. These are the best lightweight gaming mice we’ve tested and recommend for just about any gamer.
