Best Gaming Mice for Left-Handed Users

Following the success of Lenovo Legion gaming laptops, the Chinese manufacturer decided to strike while the iron was hot and launched a separate line of Legion accessories, including gaming mice. Lenovo Legion M600, which will be discussed in this review, is one of the most advanced models in this family. The M600 is an ergonomic double-sided mouse with a pair of additional buttons on each side and a combined wired or radio connection.

It has a fairly comfortable Logitech G Pro-style shape, but with a slightly shorter hump that works equally well for claw and finger grips. Lenovo has done a great job with the case materials, and has also chosen excellent Omron key switches that are easy and crisp to operate. Aiming precision is ensured by a solid mid-range PixArt 3335 sensor with a maximum frequency of 16,000 DPI, acceleration up to 40 G, and optimized power consumption.

Among the additional advantages of the model, it is worth highlighting the braided cable, neat illumination of the logo and scroll wheel, as well as a long-lasting battery, which, according to the manufacturer, lasts 200 hours of operation without RGB. For comparison, the long-lasting Razer Basilisk Ultimate lasts a maximum of 100 hours. And the only obvious disadvantages are the limited options for adjusting the sensor in the proprietary software, as well as the weight of 107 grams. In the days of lightweight 70-gram models, the M600 looks like Shaquille O'Neal on the court against schoolchildren.

The BenQ Zowie FK2 is a wired eSports mouse with a well-thought-out shape, minimalist design, and an unusual ergonomic shape. Unlike most other symmetrical gaming mice, the Zowie FK2 features two sets of side buttons to make the mouse equally comfortable to use with both your right and left hands.

Any BenQ mouse review focuses heavily on shape, and the Zowie FK2 is no exception. It’s shaped like the Zowie U2 and Zowie S2-DW, and the shape accommodates all grip types, including palm and claw, and all but the smallest hand sizes. The extended front provides extra support for lifting the mouse. The concave curve provides more support for the fingers when using a claw grip. The pushbutton switches respond accurately and without any delay to commands.

BenQ positions the Zowie FK2 as an advanced shooting mouse with a proven Pixart PMW3310 sensor. Traditionally for the brand, the model is made in a classic and minimalist style without backlighting and decorative inserts, and there is no software for configuring the sensor and macros in the kit with the mouse. Instead, the manufacturer followed the principle of maximum simplification, having provided 4 accuracy settings in advance (400, 800, 1600 and 3200 DPI). For some, such simplification will be a plus, but adherents of total customization will most likely remain disappointed. Well, for this money, I would like a detachable cable.

The Logitech G Pro Wireless is one of the best wireless gaming mice on the market. Over the 5+ years of its existence, it has become something of a local legend, demonstrating how to implement literally every little detail correctly. Lightning-fast Lightspeed wireless connection (with reverse wired connection), a surgically precise sensor, the most comfortable shape and advanced customization options - what else does a professional gamer need?

Among the main trump cards of the G Pro Wireless is the HERO 25K sensor with a resolution of 25,600 DPI and a polling rate of 1000 Hz, which works without smoothing and acceleration, providing accuracy at the level of 99%+. Thanks to Lightspeed technology, the mouse transmits a signal without delays, not inferior to wired analogs, and mechanical buttons with a spring mechanism give a clear and fast response. The battery lasts up to 60 hours (without backlighting), and built-in memory is provided for storing settings. Among the unusual features, the Powerplay wireless charger stands out, allowing you to charge during the game when using a branded mouse pad and modular side buttons, which can be removed if desired, replacing them with plugs.

The G Pro Wireless is also very comfortable. In terms of shape, it is a pure classic that equally suits all the main types of grips. The body is made symmetrically for both hands with duplicated side buttons on each side. Both main buttons are designed as separate panels, the design is completely seamless, the material is pleasant to the touch and quite tenacious. In practice, the G Pro Wireless impresses with its accuracy and responsiveness, especially in shooters. And the monolithic body weighing 80 grams is the golden mean between classic manipulators and newfangled lightweight mice.

While most manufacturers were playing with attachments, decor and perforation, Logitech engineers did the seemingly impossible and in 2019 released the perfect wireless eSports-level mouse called G Pro Wireless. And 5 years later, the G Pro 2 Lightspeed model was released, which became the ideological successor to the original G Pro.

In the second version, the manufacturer has improved the key parameters, while maintaining the form factor and concept of the original. The main innovation is the HERO 2 sensor with a resolution of 32,000 DPI versus 25,600 DPI in its predecessor, which provides more accurate tracking and supports a polling rate of 1000 Hz. The updated Lightforce switches combine the speed of optics with the tactile feedback of mechanics. Autonomy has increased from 60 to 95 hours, wireless charging support has been retained, and the outdated microUSB connector has been replaced with USB-C. In addition, the RGB backlight now offers more customization options.

At the same time, the quality of materials, assembly and attention to detail remained at the same impressive level. The body turned out to be light (80 grams), comfortable and not sharpened for a specific hand. The shape is suitable for different types of grips, and excellent balancing ensures high maneuverability during the game. The side buttons are again modular - instead of an unnecessary pair on the left or right, you can install plugs. And the button settings themselves can be saved to memory. Well, the wireless Lightspeed connection continues to please with the speed and stability of the connection quality. Plus, a classic wired connection is provided here.

At the beginning of this decade, Razer launched a new high-end Viper line, in which the company's engineers combine all of the brand's most successful technical developments. Released in 2020, the Razer Viper Ultimate is an advanced esports mouse with a polished shape, the top-end Razer Focus+ sensor, and HyperSpeed wireless connectivity.

The Razer Viper Ultimate weighs just 74 grams (including the battery and without perforation) and has a symmetrical body that fits both hands. The Focus+ sensor delivers a resolution of up to 20,000 DPI with 99.6% accuracy and a tracking speed of 650 IPS, ensuring lightning-fast response without any errors or interruptions. Optical-mechanical switches operating on an infrared beam provide a response of 0.2 ms and withstand up to 70 million clicks, and their clear click pleases with tactile feel. HyperSpeed wireless technology minimizes delays, competing with wired models, and the battery lasts up to 70 hours without recharging. And the mouse comes with a stylish charging dock with Chroma RGB backlighting.

The Viper Ultimate shows itself perfectly in action: the lightness and symmetry of the body are ideal for long sessions, and the precise sensor with switches provide an advantage in aiming accuracy and reaction speed. It shows itself especially well in shooters and MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), where sharp jerks and instant response are important. Additional features of the model include Teflon feet for smooth sliding, built-in memory for 5 profiles and a lot of options for customizing the operating parameters of the manipulator. Among the disadvantages, it is worth highlighting the DPI switch hidden on the bottom, the lack of weight adjustment and the brand markup - the Viper Ultimate is expensive even against the background of other A-class eSports manipulators.
