That's hardly a dealbreaker for me though, so I'm glad to see some proper competition in this popular space. The 8K name comes from an 8000Hz polling rate, which reduces response time - a nice value add for competitive, high refresh rate gaming. Gamers who prefer wireless can now find wireless mice with excellent connection stability, responsiveness, and speed. You also get a unique look, making these new mice easy to identify compared to their traditional counterparts.

The feel of this mouse is superb for small and medium hands in fingertip or claw holds, while smaller hands can also palm the mouse easily. To find your hand size, keep your fingers together and measure from the tip of your longest finger to your wrist. While the Katar Elite doesn't stand out in terms of its physical design, it does boast one of the best software packages in iCUE, which lets you rebind keys, set the RGB lighting (which can be synced across other components and peripherals).It's one of the best ultra-light mice for small to medium hands we've tested, ranking highly for its top-spec Pixart 3389 sensor, all-around RGB lighting and a super-flexible cable. This is important not just for your comfort but also for the long life of your machine and its components. and if you don't like the current options available, expect the market to get a lot bigger by the end of the year.

Following the recent release of Counter-Strike 2, Will is now dreaming of new StarCraft and Fallout sequels - plus more Cossacks, of course. This ultra-light mouse, weighing only 67 grams, is part of a new breed that use honeycomb-like designs to save weight and flexible cables to minimise drag. Alongside the influencers and esports pros, there's also a small but vocal enthusiast community, with users who have shared their own weight-saving modifications and 3D-printed mouse bodies on the /r/mousereview subreddit for years.For slower titles or general computer use, larger, wider and heavier mice used at higher DPI settings might be optimal.
