We reviewed the top mice from Razer, Logitech, SteelSeries and corsair to hunt down the best FPS mouse for 2024 (Razer DeathAdder Elite). We focused this guide on mice made specifically for FPS gaming, with everything you need to grab your FPS weapon of choice and start nailing those head shots.
The Razer DeathAdder Elite is our choice for the best FPS mouse. The DeathAdder Elite’s extremely accurate sensor and perfect weight in hand makes this the top choice for FPS gamers. If you’re a headshot junky playing PUBG, CS GO or Overwatch then grab the DeathAdder Elite.
The Deathadder Elite comes with a 16,000 CPI optical sensor, seldom will someone boost up the CPIs to that figure, therefore, the biggest hitching factor for the deathadder is the addition of the PMW-3366 sensor which has been manufactured by Pixart in collaboration with Logitech. The sensor has been favored ever since it was introduced back in 2014. Some may argue that the sensor is old and may not perform as good as a modern sensor, but those allegations are only limited until you use it and feel the precision that the sensor adds to the Deathadder Elite. The software of course plays a vital role in adding up to the precision and the overall quality of the device. For more information read our the full Razer DeathAdder Elite Review.

The Logitech G502 is our choice for the overall best FPS gaming mouse. Yes, it’s a little heavy for hardcore FPS fans but it’s built well has an accurate sensor and suites “most” hand types. If you’re an average gamer who wants an excellent mouse for FPS and MMO / RPG games we recommend you pick up a G502.
The G502 Hero is the successor of the Proteus Spectrum RGB that had gained its popularity based on the customization and the optical sensors that it uses in order to provide everything a modern gamer would expect. The colors of the illuminations can be changed to any color imaginable within the Logitech software. The addition and the customization of the colors can allow users to have that awesome look that matches with one’s casing colors or that of the keyboard lightning.

Hands down the top wireless mouse for gaming on the planet, low input lag no cable drag and wireless charging when used with the Logitech Lightspeed mouse pad. If (like us) you’ve put off trying a wireless due to input lag or other wireless related concerns, we recommend you give the G903 a try (you wont notice any lag).
Besides the price tag there are not many downsides to the G903. When it comes to quality to price ratio they are pretty much in-line. For a device with this level of features and functionalities it is justified to have this kind of a price tag. Design conscious people do argue that the design isn’t exactly aligned with the price tag, but considering what you get under the hood pretty much makes up for that space.

The Redragon M711 Cobra is a fantastic mouse for the price, with a similar shape to the DeathAdder if you’re looking for a cheaper replacement or alternative then you won’t go far wrong with the M711, it’s our go to recommendation for a cheap FPS mouse.
In competitive FPS games, hardware performance is critical. In all honesty any of the mice above will perform well in during fps game play. However, if you had to make me choose I would go with the Razer DeathAdder Elite, it’s a great mouse in terms of quality and accuracy… However, I could be slightly biased having owned one for 5 years (which has never let me down). If you’re heading for the pro league then the Zowie EC2-A is a good choice.
If you’re on a super tight budget checkout the Redragon M711 Cobra which is a great mouse for the price but don’t expect Razer, Zowie or Logitech build quality. If you don’t want cable all over your desk than check out the Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED, it’s an amazing mouse and is best used with the mouse pad, it performed so well it was not noticeable the mouse was wireless.
