Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 — Editor's Pick
Wireless · 60 g · HERO 2 · 4 kHz
~ €159
9.4/10
At 60 g the SL2 lands exactly at the upper edge of our sub-60g definition — and is still the editor's pick. I use it as a daily driver myself for over a year now, and after hundreds of hours of CS2 sessions I can honestly say: nothing about it annoys me. The shape is mid-size and fits the broadest user group, the HERO 2 sensor tracks cleanly on every movement, and battery life (~ 95 h) is the best on the entire list. NiKo, ropz and ZywOo play the same mouse at pro level — if you can play 60 g, there's little reason to look elsewhere.

- 60 g is the upper edge of our "ultralight" definition — if you really want under 55 g, the Razer V3 Pro
- Only 4 kHz polling out-of-the-box (8 kHz needs Powerplay pad, ~ €100 extra)
- Side buttons feel slightly mushy vs. Razer competition
- Premium price: factor in wireless +€30 over a wired one and it's fair

Razer Viper V3 Pro — Really Light
Wireless · 54 g · Focus Pro 35K · 8 kHz
~ €169
9.2/10
If the SL2 at 60 g feels "heavy" to you, the Razer Viper V3 Pro is the right answer: 54 g is at the absolute top among top-sensor mice in 2026. Razer has steadily removed weight from the Viper series since 2018 without compromising sensor or switches. donk and sh1ro play pro CS2 with it; Razer Synapse has reduced bloat in recent updates. If you want "light" without compromise and don't want to switch to hipster brands, this is it.

Pulsar X2H Mini — Small-Hand Pick
Wireless · 52 g · PAW3950 · 8 kHz
~ €119
8.9/10
Pulsar is the South Korean pro brand that's gained a lot of traction with pros over the last 2 years. The X2H Mini is a special form: hump shifted further back — naturally fits claw + fingertip grip with smaller hands (< 17 cm). Sensor is on par with HERO 2, price €50 cheaper than the Razer competition.

Endgame Gear OP1 8K — Best Wired
Wired · 50 g · PAW3950 · 8 kHz
~ €100
9.0/10
50 grams. A wireless mouse at 50 g would be inconceivable — the OP1 8K pays for it with a cable, but in return it costs under €100. Endgame Gear is a German brand (Hannover) targeted explicitly at the pro segment. The paracord cable is so flexible you barely feel it, the sensor runs cleanly, and 8 kHz native makes the aim feeling a touch more "direct".

Glorious Model O 2 Pro — Solid Mid-Range
Wireless · 57 g · BAMF 2.0 · 8 kHz
~ €129
8.5/10
Glorious Model O has been a classic in the ultralight space since 2019 — the 2 Pro variant is the solid current wireless iteration. 57 g, 8 kHz, honeycomb design (or solid top, depending on SKU). No pro star plays it currently, but it's not bad either — solid mid-range model if the pro brands feel too pricey.

- Strengths
- Brand name with good US/EU availability
- 57 g + 8 kHz at a fair price
- Solid top + honeycomb as a choice
- Weaknesses
- BAMF 2.0 trails Focus Pro 35K and HERO 2 (650 IPS vs. 750+)
- No current pro user — pros are migrating to Razer/Logitech
- Click quality is "okay", not "premium"
At low sensitivities (the way pros use them, eDPI 600-1000) you sweep the mouse over long distances across the pad. A 100-gram mouse fatigues the hand noticeably during 4-hour sessions — and during micro-adjustments in an aim duel a few millimetres count. Studies show measurably better reaction times with lighter mice, because the stop-aim phase has less inertia to overcome.
But: lighter is not automatically better. Below 45 g it gets dangerous — you lose the feel for micro-movements. Sweet spot: 50-60 g for most hands.
What goes into our rating:
- Sensor quality — IPS, DPI, smoothing behaviour
- Wireless stability — no drops in packed LAN halls
- Shape universality — fits claw + palm with medium hands
- Build quality + service in DE — what if the mouse acts up in 1 year?
- Pro adoption — when 5+ HLTV top 50 pros use the mouse, it's a validation signal
Do I need wireless for CS2?
For sub-60g, practically yes — cable drag at low sensitivity is a real annoyance, it distorts your aim feel. Logitech Lightspeed and Razer HyperSpeed have latencies under 1 ms — perceptually identical to wired. Wired only makes sense if you're really tight on budget (see OP1 8K for ~ €100).
How important is 8 kHz polling vs. 4 kHz?
Marginal. On 240 Hz+ monitors you slightly feel the 1 kHz → 8 kHz difference, but 4 kHz → 8 kHz isn't measurably significant for most players. CS2's Source 2 engine internally caps at ~ 2-4 kHz of effective processing. 4 kHz is enough.
How big does my hand need to be for which mouse?
Hand < 17 cm: mini versions (Pulsar X2H Mini, Endgame Gear OP1 8K).
Hand 17-19 cm: standard sizes (Razer Viper V3 Pro, Logitech Superlight 2, Glorious Model O 2 Pro).
Hand > 19 cm: larger ergonomic models (Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro, Razer Basilisk).
What's the difference between honeycomb and solid top?
Honeycomb mice have holes in the housing to save weight — that was a 2019-2022 trend. Today solid top is back as standard because modern materials (magnesium, denser plastic) achieve similar weights without holes. Solid pro: sweat stays out, mouse feels premium. Con: marginally heavier.
When is a mouse "too light"?
Below 45 g. During stop-aim you need inertia to end the movement cleanly. Mice that are too light (Sabre V2 Pro at 36 g, Finalmouse Ultralight) overshoot easily — you go past the target. Sweet spot 50-60 g.
Is switching from 80 g to 55 g worth it?
Definitely. Studies show reaction time improvements of 5-15 ms when switching to an ultralight mouse. Subjectively: after 1-2 weeks of adjustment, most players don't want to go back. The step from 100 g → 60 g is clearly noticeable.
