If you're looking to cut the cord for good while maintaining performance then only the best wireless gaming mouse will do. Halfway through 2024, there is an abundance of options from top manufacturers competing for your hard-earned cash; fortunately, we've done the leg work to present you with only the leading options all in one place.
With so much competition from trusted manufacturers, it was a challenge to nail things down but we've managed to compile a list of the top 10 wireless gaming mice for your consideration. You'll find representation from all-star brands such as Razer, Logitech, Turtle Beach, SteelSeries, Roccat and more. We've endeavored to provide you with an encompassing selection prioritizing battery life and performance above all else, with considerations to orientation, RGB lighting, and other features, too.
What's exciting about buying a wireless mouse in 2024 is the advancements made in not only wireless technology but also battery life in general. Previously, it was impressive if a pointer could last more than 50 hours without having to reach for the charger. Nowadays, however, some of the top performers listed below can go upwards of 200 hours - effectively weeks - without needing to be juiced up again. We've also seen the likes of dedicated 2.4GHz dongles come a long way with their polling rates, and Bluetooth 5.4 provide near-identical performance to wired USB as well.
If you're looking to expand your search beyond just the best wireless gaming mice then we recommend checking out our picks for the best gaming mouse and the best mouse for a bird's eye view. We are testing new pointers all the time, so if you're in the mood for an upgrade, be sure to come back to see our latest recommendations based on our intensive testing.

Best wireless gaming mouse overall
The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro is an incredibly lightweight gaming mouse that's just as impressive in performance, battery life, and top-notch ergonomics. This gaming mouse is light as a feather and just as supportive for palm grippers than it is for gamers with a claw grip, thanks to the painstaking attention to detail Razer put it when it comes to its form. We found that this form gives users the best and most comfortable experience, whether they're gaming or working.
Its performance is no slouch either; neither are its satisfying-to-press optical switches and battery life of 90 hours that got us through a week of 8+-hour days of consistent use without needing to charge. This is the best gaming mouse, hands down, and naturally the best wireless gaming mouse overall. It's more than worth its admittedly steep price.

Best budget wireless gaming mouse
Logitech’s budget offering in its Lightspeed family is surprisingly full of features. The Logitech G305 Lightspeed might catch your attention because of its looks – it comes in different colorways like blue with lilac accents, lilac with purple accents, and mint with lilac. However, it keeps you interested with its great, no-latency performance, comfortable fit, and its nifty extras.
For a budget wireless gaming mouse, it delivers such a fantastic performance, moving accurately with our own movements and triggering immediately at every press, whether we are playing Psychonauts 2 or Cyberpunk 2077. The brilliant G-Shift function, for example, will give you a second set of functions to your buttons. It also has onboard memory so you can save up to five profiles, and a fairly light body. Our only gripe is that it’s AA battery-powered, which means it isn’t rechargeable. At least it’ll last you up to 250 hours.

Best premium wireless gaming mouse
Sitting at the top spot of our best gaming mice list, the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is an impressive wireless gaming mouse with an equally impressive feature set. Apologetic in its features, it comes with every single vital feature gamers can think of in a form factor that's both comfortable and reliable for gaming – even if it isn't the most lightweight.
Its RGB lighting and 10+1 programmable buttons are a boon to most gamers, but we're blown away by its next-gen wireless charging capability that uses a magnetic puck and magnetic charging dock for convenience. Though do bear in mind that you have to pay extra for it as it doesn't come included with the mouse.
It rounds all that out with its fast and smooth performance, long battery life, and ergonomics so great you won't even notice its heavier weight. For the whole wireless gaming mouse package, this is the one to get.

Best features in a wireless gaming mouse
Logitech revived its most beloved line in a massive way with the Logitech G502 X Plus, which is breathtaking in both its design and its performance – as well as its features. On one hand, it has abandoned the one feature most gamers loved about the Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless: weight customization. And, many fans will be disappointed by this.
However, on the other, it comes with even more impressive features that benefit most gamers. That includes a more lightweight body, a brand-new hybrid optical-mechanical switch, a Lightspeed wireless protocol that’s faster than the previous generation, and a battery life that's double its predecessor's.
The hybrid optical-mechanical switch delivered immediate responses and an extremely satisfying tactile feedback on test while the HERO 25K sensor proved to be just fast, smooth, and accurate. This wireless gaming mouse would have made it further up the list if it wasn't for the fact that Logitech also charges a premium for the Powerplay charging system.

Best value wireless gaming mouse
While its rivals are out there charging a premium for extras like wireless charging, the Roccat Kone XP Air does the exact opposite. It not only includes a charging dock in the box for no extra charge and almost the same price as the competition, but it also comes with a few other features you'd be hard-pressed to find in others. Those include Roccat's Easy-Shift feature that kinda gives you a second mouse for free and 15 inputs, which when combined gives you a total of 29 programmable actions.
Its performance, of course, is just as speedy and as reliable as the rest – even if that scroll button could use a bit of tweaking. In fact, its PTFE feet glide smoother on most surfaces you'd use a gaming mouse on, which really helps with your gameplay. As for the 3D RGB lighting, which some people found to be a bit of an acquired taste in the wired Roccat Kone XP, is also more refined and appealing.
Yes, there are cheaper wireless gaming mice out there that offer excellent value. But, if you're willing to pay more and still want a lot of bang for your buck, this one's the obvious winner.

Best ambidextrous wireless gaming mouse
Sometimes even the best wireless gaming mouse can leave out a good portion of potential users with unintentional inconsiderate design. Angled mice tend to lean towards those who are right-handed, but that's not the case with the ambidextrous design of the Corsair M75 Wireless which is as just as good for left-handed gamers as for the right-handed. Whether you prefer a claw, fingertip, or palm grip, whichever hand you use will sit nicely on this pointer.
That's far from the only good thing about the Corsair M75 Wireless, though. Combine a thoughtful design and understated aesthetic with a 100+ hour battery life, and a multitude of connectivity options (including wired via USB-C, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless) and you've got the makings of an all-time classic. This model also happens to be fairly nimble as well, coming in a subtle 3.1oz / 89g so it's ideal for those who need near weightlessness for precise gameplay in a pinch. It may not be the most exciting to look at, but it excels where things matter most.

Best lightweight wireless gaming mouse
While we've seen more honeycomb mice emerge in recent years thanks to their popularity with game streamers, those wireless models tend to carry quite a high price tag. Not so with the Glorious O2 Wireless which nails the looks, features premium construction, and the expected lightweight feeling for an unbeatable price.
That's because you can pick up the Glorious O2 Wireless for just $99 (about £80 / AU$150) which significantly undercuts many of its competitors vying for a spot in the best wireless mouse list. You're getting the full experience here; up to 26,000 DPI for those after peak sensitivity, vivid RGB lighting to pair with your peripherals, and a total of six reprogrammable buttons. In our testing, we found that this pointer lasted a staggering 210 hours when gaming via Bluetooth, which eclipses many of its rivals at a fraction of the price.

Best wireless gaming mouse for MOBAs
We're huge fans of the new Aerox Wireless series from SteelSeries, but when it comes to MMO and MOBA gaming, the SteelSeries Aerox 9 Wireless takes the crown. Designed specifically for such games, it's one of the best you can get in terms of build quality and performance. That's especially if you're willing to pay good money for it.
While some MMO gaming mouse are built with heft, something that some gamers prefer we're sure, this offering from SteelSeries also sets itself apart with an ultra-light weight of 89g that it owes to its perforated body and an ultra-thin PCB material. It's more than just an ultra-lightweight option, however. We found that its button layout delivers an excellent experience while playing any game and its overall design allows for multiple gripe types, making it extra versatile.

Most versatile wireless gaming mouse
The Razer Naga Pro Wireless may be one of the best MMO/MOBA gaming mice on the market, but it also lends itself incredibly well to other types of games, including FPS and Battle Royale titles. Not only does it offer superb speed and performance both wired and wireless – something we've definitely proven in testing, but it also provides alternative side plates to suit a wide range of games. It comes with three: the typical 2-button side plate for FPS, a 6-button one for Battle Royale, and a 12-button one for MMO.
We were impressed with its top-notch feature set during testing as well. Among those features are its up to 150 battery life, three types of connectivity including 2.4GHz wireless, and an on-board memory than lets you store up to five profiles. That's despite the fact that the bulkiness of the design may cause discomfort for some – or more specifically, gamers with smaller hands.

Best RGB wireless gaming mouse
The Roccat Burst Pro Air’s RGB lighting might be a bit limited but it’s brilliant. Once you’ve finished admiring its glowing hues (and come to terms with its price tag), you’ll also realize that it has a lot more to offer. This is exactly what happened to us when we put this mouse through its paces.
Not only are there multiple forms of connectivity on hand including Wireless, Bluetooth and USB-C, but it keeps up with the action no matter how much we push it thanks to that 19,000 DPI and 1,000 Hz polling rate. And, we found that glides around easily and freely, thanks to its relative light weight and its PTFE sliding pads. Just make sure to invest in a mouse pad as those sliding pads are hit and miss on some surfaces.
