The most popular mice are calculated based on 264 professional Fortnite players.

## Introduction

Fortnite needs no introduction. The game has been a cultural phenomenon that far surpassed its gaming roots to the point where it felt like everyone was talking about it at one point in time. The game’s popularity in the mainstream entertainment market might be past its highest point, but the game itself certainly isn’t. Fortnite is constantly being kept fresh, and with the rather recent addition of a no-build mode we’re seeing new players flock to this game in droves, with a lot of players wondering what’s the best mouse for Fortnite.

Whether you’re a veteran or a complete newbie; there’s one thing that doesn’t change and that’s the fact that you need good gear in order to play to your full potential. To help you with that we’ve analyzed the mice that our pro players are using, and we’ve come up with a list of the best Fortnite mice. A mouse is obviously something subjective and largely comes down to personal tastes, but using this list as a guideline can be a great start when choosing a new mouse.

Our Guide

The Pro Usage Top 5 gets updated continuously and instantly so that you can always get an accurate overview of what the pros are using at any given time. In the body of the article itself, we go over the five most popular pro products in no particular order and, when relevant, we also give you some extra options in the form of products that fall just outside of the top 5 or are otherwise relevant.

## What makes a mouse good for Fortnite?

Fortnite is a relatively simple game, in the sense that you don’t have a metric ton of abilities and buttons to press. It can be handy to have a few extra input options if you’re someone who likes to have everything bound to your mouse, but generally a regular mouse with the regular two side buttons should be fine.

Since it’s a shooter and you’ve got to be able to aim well it’s important to choose a mouse which suits your grip style and hand size too. After all, you will want your mouse to be comfortable for you if you’re going to be using it for hours on end. There’s no need to go for a mouse that has all the top tier components but doesn’t fit your hand and grip style at all.

What’s interesting is that large sections of Fortnite professionals are rather keen to adopt or at least try out new gear. This willingness to switch out gear makes it difficult for any given product to achieve a notable market share, since it might be replaced by a newer offering once it starts getting a bit of a foothold. For this reason, there are a number of older products in this list. These are from the time when the mouse market moved a bit slower, and are still being used by players who aren’t as switch-happy. All of the products in this list are still great gaming mice today, but we will note when newer alternatives are available.

## Razer Viper V3 Pro

The Razer Viper V3 Pro is one of the fastest climbing products in the history of ProSettings.net, and for good reason. At a time where a lot of people were a bit miffed with the incremental updates that the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 offered over its predecessor, Razer released a shape competitor with top tier internals. The Viper V3 Pro is so well-received that it’s basically the first mouse in years to challenge the Superlight’s dominance.

Compared to the Viper V2 Pro, the biggest change comes in the form of the shape. The newest Viper is a lot boxier than its predecessor, making it a much safer shape. At a weight of just 54 grams, it’s lighter than rival offerings from other mainstream brands, and with polling rates of 8000Hz out of the box, optical switches, and a flawless sensor, it’s not surprise that this is one of 2024’s hottest releases.

If you like a neutral shape for your gaming mouse and you want absolute top tier specs, this is one of the best mice to consider right now.

## Logitech G Pro X Superlight



When the Logitech G Pro Wireless released, it was the undisputed king of (wireless) gaming mice, and the technology behind that product was so impressive that it remained in that position for many months after its release. In fact, the tech was so impressive that it’s still consider to be a good mid-tier gaming mouse to this day. Competitors did catch up after a while though, prompting Logitech to release the Superlight: an updated version of the well-loved G Pro Wireless.

The main differences between the two (aside from the fact that the Superlight only has side buttons on the left) lie in the fact that the Superlight is a lot lighter (as the name would imply) at just 62 grams, and that the Superlight has better stock feet and new switches that are supposed to eliminate the risk of accidental double clicking.

The updates made the G Pro X Superlight (commonly known as ‘GPX’) the benchmark to beat yet again, and that solidified the mouse line’s grasp on the competitive gaming market. The Superlight is undisputedly gaming mouse royalty, and thanks to its safe shape and finely tuned features (the clicks aren’t too heavy, nor too light; the same goes for the scroll wheel) it can be picked up and used effectively by almost any gamer.

If you’re looking for an ultra lightweight wireless mouse with a safe shape this is a top option.



Logitech G Pro X Superlight

#### Pros

- Fits most hands and grip styles
- Good battery life
- Flawless wireless performance
- Lightweight

#### Cons

- Micro USB charging port
- High price

## Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2



The Superlight 2, as the name implies, is the successor to the Superlight and it has got some neat upgrades.

Firstly the specs. Both the main mouse buttons and the side buttons have optical switches underneath them, which are more responsive and durable than standard mechanical switches. Under the hood, the Superlight 2 features the Hero 25K sensor rated for a 4000 Hz polling rate. It’s Logitech’s flagship sensor, so it’s very solid in the performance department. The Superlight 2 is also 3 g lighter than the Superlight (62g) weighing in at 59g.

Apart from the good specs and super reliable performance, one of the main reasons the Logitech G Pro X Superlight is so popular is the shape. Because the old shape was so well received, Logitech did not change the shape in this next iteration. The Superlight 2 is physically the same as the Superlight, which is great news for people who want to upgrade from their old mouse.

If you already have an original Superlight and you’re happy with its performance, there’s no big need to upgrade, but if you’re looking to get into that super popular Logitech shape, we recommend the Superlight 2 over the original version.

Logitech played it safe with the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, but that’s understandable. It’s a new version of one of the most-loved mice in all of professional gaming that introduces a couple of tweaks to bring Logitech’s flagship offering in line with today’s mouse standards.



Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2

#### Pros

- Super safe shape that’ll fit anyone
- Nice coating
- Extremely reliable wireless and sensor performance
- Addition of USB-C charging and optical switches addresses the two most commonly heard complaints about the GPX
- Sensor calibration tool in G HUB is really handy
- Good battery life

#### Cons

- Clicks feel heavier than on earlier versions, which might not sit well with everyone
- Bottom skate has a different shape, which feels like an unneeded change

## Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro



The Deathadder is not a new name for any gamer. It was one of the most popular mice back in the day and you will still find a lot of people using it. The Deathadder V3 Pro continues the legacy of the original Deathadder, modernizing it with better specs and improving on its shape.

The most obvious difference between this and older versions is the weight and shape of the mouse. Gone is the old long and rather flat shape, in is a new, boxier shape. This makes the DeathAdder more similar to popular ergonomic mice such as the ZOWIE EC series and its many clones, and this move seems to have been well received if we’re looking at how popular the DAV3 Pro is.

Of course, the hardware underneath is top notch as well. The Deathadder V3 Pro houses the Focus 30K Pro sensor, optical switches, and goes up to a polling rate of 8KHz if you purchase a HyperPolling dongle. It has the same specs as the Viper V3 Pro, which has been critically acclaimed for its performance. So, in the performance department, you can rest assured that the mouse will perform superbly.

## Razer Viper Ultimate



The Viper Ultimate is an older mouse, but it’s still a very capable one.

At the time when the Viper Ultimate came out, Razer was struggling a bit in the pro player mouse market segment. Logitech’s G Pro Wireless was the undisputed king of gaming mice, and the Viper Ultimate was the first mainstream release to make a credible challenge for the crown. With a flawless wireless connection, Optical mouse switches, an advanced sensor, an added charging dock, and a low weight of 74 grams it was a more than adequate reply to Logitech’s offering.

The Viper Ultimate is still a great choice today, but is has been followed up by the Viper V2 Pro. The V2 Pro has a lighter weight, better feeling switches, a better sensor, making it a better choice for competitive gamers. If you want to use the dock or you need side buttons on the right side you have to go for the Ultimate version, though, as those features have been cut from the V2, so if you’re looking for slightly more luxurious Viper experience then the Ultimate might be the one for you.

The fact that this is a wireless mouse with a lag-free connection and flawless sensor, complete a rechargeable battery (with a life of around 70 hours) at a mere 74 grams is impressive enough on its own but Razer has managed to get over the proverbial bar and then set it even higher with a number of interesting upgrades.



Razer Viper Ultimate

#### Pros

- Great wireless performance
- Lightweight design
- Optical switches are more reliable than mechanical ones
- Great stock feet
- Charging dock is an amazing addition

#### Cons

- Optical switches aren’t as snappy as mechanical switches
- Scroll wheel feels ‘buried’ between the buttons
- Scroll wheel feels inconsistent

## FinalMouse Starlight-12



FinalMouse has a lot of rather vocal opponents for the way they only release their mice in very limited quantities and are extreme followers of the ‘hype marketing’ style of advertising their products, but it cannot be denied that they know how to make an interesting product. The defining feature of this Starlight-12 is that it’s made out of magnesium, making it extremely durable and very lightweight. The small version of this mouse comes in at just 42 grams, while the medium edition weighs in at around 45 grams.

On the inside you’ll find a top tier flawless sensor, powered by a battery that lasts ~160 hours. All of this makes it an extremely impressive product, and if you’re on the hunt for a lightweight, yet very strong wireless mouse then the Starlight-12 could be one to look at, if you can find one at retail.

If you want a small wireless mouse that’s just about the lightest it can possibly be (without going for a fingertip-only design) then the Starlight-12 is a mouse that you have to look at.

## FinalMouse UltraLight 2



The UltraLight 2 was one of the most interesting releases in FinalMouse’s stable of products, and this one aims to innovate by having a shape that you can customize yourself. The ‘base mouse’ is a smaller version of their now famous UltraLight, but this one comes with their INFINITYSKIN (it’s written in all caps in their marketing so we do the same) which is a malleable synthetic foamy material that you can add to your mouse in order to shape it exactly how you want it.

It’s definitely an interesting idea, and it’s a great solution for people who like to have a mouse that’s shaped exactly like they want it, but even if you don’t plan on using the INFINITYSKINS it’s a good gaming mouse. Under the hood you’ve got the flawless 3360 sensor as we all know, and you also get a decent mouse wheel and cable. Combine that with a low (base) weight and you’ve got an interesting wired gaming mouse.

This is a smaller version of the UltraLight, so if you found that one to be too large this could also be a great product for you.

The UltraLight 2 was released in limited quantities and availability is very limited these days. We only recommend going for this mouse if you can buy it at retail price.

Thanks to the INFINITYSKINS you can tweak the shape of this mouse somewhat in order to fit your exact preferences, and aside from that the UltraLight 2 is an extremely lightweight ambidextrous gaming mouse with a flawless ingame performance.

## FinalMouse Air58 Ninja



When the FinalMouse Air58 Ninja was first released, it was a very big deal. Firstly because it was co-developed with one of the most popular streamers during that time ( Ninja) but it was also hyped because of the (at the time) insane specs. A weight of 58 grams, complete with a flawless sensor was very revolutionary, leading the Air58 to become one of the most coveted mice out at the time.

We say ‘out’ instead of ‘available’ because FinalMouse always release their mice in extremely limited quantities, leading the Air58 to be sold on the grey market for ridiculously inflated prices. The Air58 isn’t officially available anymore, and due to its age the specs also aren’t revolutionary any longer, so even if you find this mouse at around MSRP we would only recommend it to collectors. We absolutely do not recommend paying (way) over MSRP for any mouse, unless you absolutely know what you’re getting into and/or you just want it as a collection piece.

## Razer Viper V2 Pro



If you’re thinking of performance-focused gaming mice, you’re thinking of the Viper V2 Pro. This successor to the Viper Ultimate comes with Razer Gen 3 Optical Switches, a flawless and cutting edge sensor, and a reduced weight when compared to its predecessor.

The Viper V2 Pro did have to cut some corners in order to achieve its extremely light weight of just 58 grams, though. The charging dock that you got with the Viper Ultimate is gone, and this V2 Pro isn’t even compatible with said dock. It also loses the side buttons on the right side, so if you’re a left-handed gamer you’re out of luck with this one.

All of this aside, the Viper V2 Pro is definitely one of the best performance-focused gaming mice out there right now. If you want a flat, very neutral ambidextrous gaming mice for your Fortnite grinding adventures then this mouse should be near the top of your list.

All in all, the Razer Viper V2 Pro is an impressive release, and if you’re looking for a very lightweight wireless ambidextrous mouse you should take a look at this one. It’s packed full of exciting tech, performs flawlessly, and it feels rock solid despite weighing less than a tennis ball.

#### Pros

- Grip tape included
- Lightweight
- Gen 3 optical switches feel and perform great
- Flawless wireless performance
- Removed right side buttons make for a more consistent grip, but makes the mouse unusable for lefties
- Capable of 4KHz polling rate in wireless mode (with separate dongle)

- Loses the dock functionality that the V1 had

## Best Mouse for Fortnite – Conclusion

When it comes to aiming, Fortnite is a rather hyperactive game, so it makes sense to see pros generally move towards lightweight and nimble mice as opposed to heavier, more stable ones. If you’re a new Fortnite player who doesn’t yet have a pinned down set of preferences when it comes to your mouse, we would recommend you to go for a lighter ambidextrous mouse to start off with. If you do already know exactly what you want, you can of course just use this list as an informative tool.
