Which Gaming Mouse Should You Actually Buy?

By Editorial Team | April 2026

Logitech’s G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE is the top pick here because the clicks are the whole story: faster-feeling, tunable, and built for competitive play. At £159.99, it is expensive, but the score and reviewer consensus both say the input system is the reason to buy it.

Our picks at a glance

Based on hands-on research, expert review consensus, and current pricing.

Best overall: Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE

Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE — £159.99

This is the mouse for players who want their clicks to feel as fast as their aim. The 8,000 Hz polling, 61 g weight, and HERO 2 sensor give it flagship-level fundamentals, but the Haptic Inductive Trigger System is the real reason it stands out in a crowded category.

Why we picked it:

• The HITS click system lets you tune actuation and reset points, which is the meaningful upgrade here, not marketing fluff.
• RTINGS and Tom’s Guide both put it at or near the top of the wireless gaming mouse pile for raw performance.
• The 61 g shell and 8,000 Hz polling keep it firmly in competitive territory without feeling like a fragile feather.

The trade-off: you are paying a lot for a mouse that mostly rewards serious FPS play, and it still skips Bluetooth and a DPI button.

If you want the fastest-feeling click system in a mainstream wireless mouse, buy the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE.

Best upgrade: Razer Viper V3 Pro

Razer Viper V3 Pro — £127

The upgrade here is simple: you get a lighter, more proven esports mouse with fewer gimmicks and fewer annoyances. Rtings calls it a top-tier FPS mouse, and the shape is already a known quantity for competitive players who want consistency over experiments.

Worth it if: you want elite wireless performance but would rather spend less and avoid Logitech’s click-tuning niche.

Best budget pick: Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED — £29.99

This is the sensible cheap buy. It gives you solid wireless gaming performance, Logitech’s dependable HERO sensor, and a battery-friendly setup for a fraction of the subject mouse’s price.

Worth it if: you want a straightforward wireless gaming mouse and you do not need ultra-light weight or exotic click tech.

Also worth considering

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless — £229

This is the best option for people who split time between PC, console, and phone audio. The hot-swappable batteries and Bluetooth make it unusually flexible, but it is a headset solution, not a mouse substitute, and it costs more than most gamers need to spend.

SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 — £179.99

If you play fast shooters and want every input shaved down, this is one of the smartest keyboard pairings you can buy. The adjustable Hall-effect switches and Rapid Trigger are the point, but the wired-only setup and premium price mean it is clearly for enthusiasts.

Xbox Wireless Controller — £49.99

This remains the safest default controller for Xbox and PC. It is comfortable, widely supported, and dead simple to live with, though AA batteries and the lack of pro features keep it firmly in “practical” rather than “exciting.”

ThunderX3 SOLO 360 — £189.95

A decent choice if you want more chair movement than the average budget racing-seat chair. The synchronous tilt and 360-degree armrests are the useful bits, but it still lacks adjustable lumbar support, so it will not fix bad posture by magic.

CLOUVOU CleverSeat — £149.99

This is the chair for people who want adjustability first. The 4D armrests, adjustable lumbar, and mesh back make it more sensible for work than most gaming chairs, but the styling is a bit awkward and it is not a luxury buy.

Razer Iskur V2 X NewGen — £349.99

The built-in lumbar support and cooler-feeling seat make this a better daily chair than many faux-leather rivals. The catch is the price: the 2D armrests and stiffer first impression make it feel less complete than the price tag suggests.

Corsair T3 Rush — £229.99

If you run hot, the fabric upholstery is the best thing about this chair. It is comfortable and better for long sessions than vinyl competitors, but the racing-chair shape still makes it more gaming-first than office-first.

ErGear Electric Standing Desk — £139.98

A large sit-stand desk at a price that does not require a budget spreadsheet. The 160 x 80 cm top and memory presets are useful, but the four-part desktop is exactly what you would expect at this price: practical, not pretty.

Dinosoo RGB Wireless Controller — £39.99

This is for bargain hunters who want extra buttons, turbo, and RGB without paying Elite money. The setup requirement for Xbox is a real nuisance, so it is only a fit if you are happy to tinker.

Symino Gaming Chair — £127.49

If you want a footrest and a recliner-style chair for mixed work and play, this does the job. It is not built for all-day ergonomics, and the support structure is too basic for serious desk work.

How we chose

We looked at the features that matter for a competitive gaming mouse: click response, sensor quality, weight, polling rate, wireless reliability, and the parts of the design that actually affect play. We also checked current expert consensus from RTINGS, Tom’s Guide, TechRadar, and other active review coverage, then matched the picks to real-world buyer intent and pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE worth £159.99? Yes, but only if you care about the click system as much as the sensor. If you just want a good wireless FPS mouse, the Razer Viper V3 Pro is the smarter spend.

What makes this better than a standard gaming mouse? The HITS click system is the point: it changes how the buttons feel and reset, which is why competitive players notice it. The rest of the spec sheet is excellent, but not the main reason to buy.

Does it work as an everyday mouse? Yes, but it is not the best one for mixed use because it has no Bluetooth and no real productivity-first extras. If you game first and work second, it makes sense; if not, it is overkill.
