Awesome wireless gaming mice to buy in South Africa

Poor wireless mice will suck their batteries dry in the middle of a match or lag thanks to a weak wireless receiver.

However, the best wireless gaming mice perform almost indistinguishably from wired ones, without any lag or stuttering, and will conserve your battery power better, too.

Having a wireless gaming mouse also just looks awesome and adds a neat, clean, and slick aesthetic to your gaming setup.

The best wireless mice offer both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless connections and will either require a dedicated USB device or use Bluetooth.

While Bluetooth is more compatible with a wider range of devices, it will increase the latency of the connection, whereas the USB connection has next to no latency at all.

Here are our top wireless mouse picks in South Africa.

Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless — R1,899

Our top pick and, in our opinion, the pinnacle of wireless mice is the Logitech G502 Lightspeed.

At its core is Logitech’s 16,000 DPI Optical HERO sensor which makes it incredibly accurate for competitive gaming.

This mouse has a tracking speed of 400 IPS, which means you won’t experience any stutter or tracking issues when wide sweeping it across your mouse pad.

The G502 is rechargeable and boasts over 40 hours of run time between charges.

It features 11 buttons which can be customised using Logitech’s G Hub — and this software can also be used to set the mouse’s RGB settings to suit your setup aesthetics.

It’s also compatible with the Powerplay charging mat, which charges the mouse continuously on the fly.

You can also get optional weights in 2g and 4g sizes that can be added to the mouse chassis if you prefer a heavier pointer.

Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro — R1,349

If you’re looking for an alternative to the G502 that offers a better price tag with similar performance, the Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro is the best choice.

Its upgraded Pixart PAW3392 optical sensor reaches 18,000 DPI, and the QI wireless compatibility allows the mouse to charge continuously when paired with a Qi wireless charging mouse pad.

It features 8 customisable buttons and uses 2,000Hz Hyper-Polling tech for lightning-fast responses to any hand movements.

The Dark Core also comes with interchangeable side pieces so that you can adjust how the mouse feels in your hand.

Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless — R829

The Logitech G305 Lightspeed offers Logitech’s premium Optical HERO sensor in an affordable body.

While you are limited to only 6 programable buttons, this is more than adequate for the average gamer.

The G305 is ultra-light and can last more than 200 hours on a single AA battery.

Its USB dongle can be stored inside the body of the mouse, while its G Hub compatibility allows you to switch between DPI presets on the fly with one click.

The quality and performance of the G305 are second to none for its price.

Corsair Katar Pro Wireless — R689

If you’re in the market for a wireless gaming mouse on a budget, then the Corsair Katar Pro is a great pick.

This mouse is comfortable in the hand, has a 10,000 DPI sensor, and can run for up to 135 hours on a single AA battery.

It also has an almost instant 2.4G wireless connection to eliminate input lag, and its PMW3325 sensor boasts great response times.
