The FinalMouse Ultralight 2 Cape Town is a small gaming mouse that’s ultra lightweight. In fact, it’s the smallest mouse in our list!
It weighs 47g without the wire and 50g with it. One of the smallest, and even lightest, gaming mice around, the Cape Town is ambidextrous and comes in a honeycomb pattern.
DPI values are 400, 800, 1600, 3200, albeit there’s no FinalMouse software to adjust them. You still have to go for a third-party software to modify DPI settings. Obviously, this mouse is not suited for large hands.

Razer Viper Mini (Gaming with RGB Lights)
The best small gaming mouse with chroma RGB underglow lighting.
Technical Specifications:
Dimensions (L x W x H): 118.3mm x 53.5mm x 38.3mm
Weight: 61g
Design: Traditional, Ambidextrous

Portability: 4 / 5

The Razer Viper Mini is an exceptional wired gaming mouse, having over 19,000 reviews on Amazon. It’s as if the regular Razer Viper had a kid. Its lightweight form will make it an excellent pick for FPS games. Unfortunately, compared to the other Vipers, its sensor is not top of the line and only has an 8500 DPI. It’s a good thing that it still has an impressive low click latency giving you excellent response times and a lag-free gaming experience.
Because of its small size, it dramatically favors claw grippers. It has a simple, slender design, that has slight indentations on both sides for the thumbs. My only critique is that as an ambidextrous mouse, it has two thumb buttons on the left side; however, none is on the right. Thus, it favors right-handed users over left-handed ones.
During gaming, it performs well, albeit having an outdated sensor. Powered by an optical PixArt 3359 sensor, the Viper Mini delivers. It boasts an 8500 DPI and a fast response time of 1ms, making it an excellent pick for competitive games.
The Viper Mini, like other Razer peripherals, runs on the Razer Synapse software. Once it is set up, you can customize things from adjusting the DPI (up to a level of 8,500) and modifying the RGB light, to reprogramming each button.
Compared to the Razer Viper, the Viper Mini is obviously smaller. Of course, the sensor performance of the former is better. However, if you have small hands, then the Viper Mini will be a great choice.
Compared to the Glorious Model O- (Minus), the Razer Viper Mini is lighter and smaller. In terms of feel (when playing games), the Razer Viper is perceived as lighter as well. But, the Glorious Model O= (Minus) has a less flimsy cable.
Overall, you have to purchase the Razer Viper Mini if you want a traditional, ambidextrous design that has a “gaming” touch to it — all because of its chrome RGB underglow lighting. If you’re a Windows user, you won’t have problems with its Synapse software as well.
Cooler Master MM710 Gaming Mouse (Gaming Mouse that’s Light)
The best small and budget-friendly gaming mouse with a honeycomb design.
Technical Specifications:
Dimensions (L x W x H): 117mm x 61mm x 38mm
Weight (Without Wire): 53g
Weight (With Wire): 89g
Design: Ambidextrous, Honeycomb
Sensor: PixArt PMW 3389
Connectivity: Wired
DPI Settings: 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 3200, 6400, 16000
Ratings:
Portability: 4 / 5
Responsiveness: 5 / 5
Build Quality: 3 / 5
Comfort: 4 / 5
One of the smallest and lightest gaming mice, the Cooler Master MM710 sports an ambidextrous, honeycomb design. Thus, it is made for both right-ies and left-ies. Since it is a wired gaming mouse, the cable can be less convenient when packing your things for travel.
Build quality is satisfactory since it’s made of a dense plastic material. The best thing about the Cooler Master MM710 is its versatility. It is made for gamers of any grip type. Obviously, it isn’t made for those with large (to extra large) hands.
Four out of six buttons are programmable. The two non-adjustable buttons are the left-click and DPI ones. Fortunately, the mouse wheel can be adjusted. Since the number of button you can adjust are plenty, you can manipulate controls to whatever you prefer. Thus, you can program the mouse to what suits you best to be on top of your gameplay.
The Razer Viper Mini is higher on the list for a reason. Compared to the Cooler Master MM710, the Viper Mini is better built and is more comfortable. However, the Cooler Master MM710 offers a higher maximum CPI and is lighter.
Overall, you’ll want to go for the Cooler Master MM710 if you’re going for a small, honeycomb gaming mouse that is budget-friendly. In addition, if you want multiple DPI settings (with a high max value), this is the small mouse to grab.

There is no rattle and nor loose screws, you can say that this mouse is well-built. The mouse wheel is stable and includes ridges that are not too hard. The main button and the button you will find on the other side of the mouse are crisp and tactile. Unfortunately, the scroll wheel feels a bit flimsy. But overall, the SteelSeries Rival 3 is exceptionally comfortable to use despite its cons.
The gaming performance, on the other hand, is excellent. While its max DPI is not as high as its competitors, it still delivers. Powered by SteelSeries TrueMove Core with a maximum 8500 DPI, this mouse can take on any games without breaking a sweat. It is also pretty responsive at 1ms polling rate. Tracking is excellent and precise, with no latency whatsoever.
Compared to the Razer Viper Mini, the software of SteelSeries is available in both macOS and Windows platforms. The Razer is only available in Windows. In addition, the SteelSeries Rival 3 is a better choice (versus the Viper Mini) for those with the claw grip.
Overall, the SteelSeries Rival 3 is a fabulous mouse for claw grippers. The mouse is also lightweight, so it is suitable for FPS games as well. They are all programmable buttons, so you can easily assign macros should you wish.

The Core is lightweight and will favor FPS gamers. It only weighs a measly 87g without its cable. The movement is better, and you will not experience any unwanted resistance whatsoever. The glide is better thanks to the two big rectangular skates that you can find on the bottom part of the mouse.
For such an affordable package, HyperX has made sure to pack tons of value to this mouse. Though a budget pick, the Core has tons of premium features, like a robust braided cable, 1000 Hz polling rate, and excellent switches. The switches are rated for 20 million clicks, so you can be sure that they can last you for a pretty long time. Powered by PixArt 3327 with a maximum 6200 DPI, the Core performs well.
It may not seem much, seeing that most modern high-end mice have a whopping 16,000 DPI. However, you will hardly use that high of DPI as numbers typically used are 400, 800, or 1600. With this sensor, gaming feels nice and smooth. Tracking is accurate, and you can be sure that this mouse won’t let you down in fast-paced games and competitive matches.
As usual, the HyperX Pulsefire Core is fitted with RGB lighting, which seems to be the standard for peripherals these days. The lighting is pleasant and vibrant to the eyes. Unfortunately, only the HyperX logo on the base of the mouse lights up, not bad, as it adds to the mouse’s minimalistic appeal.
Both the Pulsefire Core and the Razer DeathAdder Essential are wired gaming mice. However, the DeathAdder Essential is designed for right-handed gamers and is best for claw or palm grips. On the other hand, the Pulsefire Core has an ambidextrous design best for palm grip gamers with small hands.
Overall, you may want to go for the HyperX Pulsefire Core if you have a palm grip. In addition, this gaming mouse is suited for small- to medium-sized hands. With its durable, ergonomic build, gamers with a palm grip will be comfortable using this mouse for long periods.

Mouse Grip Styles Explained!
Below is a YouTube video by Brandon Taylor explaining the different grip styles when holding your mouse:
Buyer’s Guide To The Best Small Gaming Mouse In 2021
There are various things to consider if you want to buy the smallest gaming mouse for yourself. Obviously, the size of your hands will determine whether a small mouse is an ergonomic choice. But before we dig into measuring your hands, let’s talk about some of the things you should take into account when buying a small gaming mouse.
Game Type
You have to consider the type of game you’re going to use the mouse for. The features considered crucial in a game will vary. For instance, if you’re going to use it for FPS games such as Fortnite, you may need a mouse that will help you with accuracy and tracking. On the other hand, if you’re going to play MMO and RTS games, you will need more buttons. These extra buttons may be assigned to macros and alternative functions.
Connectivity
Should you go for a small wired or wireless gaming mouse? A few years ago, wireless mice had slower responsiveness compared to wired mice. However, due to technological improvements, wireless mice are now at par with their wired counterparts. The big difference between wired and wireless mice is the price point. Wireless mice tend to be more expensive.
DPI And CPI
DPI refers to Dots Per Inch. On the other hand, CPI refers to Counts Per Inch. DPI is the amount of pixels wherein the screen cursor will move in correspondence with the movement (per inch) of your mouse.
Your monitor’s size will be crucial in determining the right DPI while playing games. A bigger monitor will need a mouse with higher DPI settings. The reverse is also true. CPI, on the other hand, is the sampling per inch. It is the physical resolution of the mouse sensors’ camera. Both DPI and CPI are big factors in determining the sensitivity of your mouse. A wider CPI and DPI range will lead to a better gaming experience.
Weight
The weight of the mouse is important, especially if you are into professional gaming. If you flick and carry your mouse a lot while playing, the weight will obviously be a significant factor in your wins or losses. There are gaming mice that come with adjustable weights, so you can modify them based on your gaming style.
Degree Of Customization
Customization comes in both tangible and intangible forms. In tangible forms, you can adjust weights, add latex grips, and more. Intangible forms of customization usually manifests itself in using software to reprogram buttons, adjust DPI levels, etc.
Grip Style
There are three types of grip styles, the palm grip, fingertip grip, and claw grip. Knowing your grip style will help you identify the right size, shape, and weight of the mouse you need.
The palm grip, the most commonly used grip style, involves resting the entire hand on the mouse’ body. Two of your fingers are located on the two upper buttons while the thumb is resting on the other side of the mouse. For those with a palm grip, a mouse with a larger body is recommended to avoid strain.
The fingertip grip is the least common of all the grip styles. However, this grip is popular in the gaming world because it leads to quicker reaction times. With this style, only the fingertips are touching the mouse. The palm doesn’t rest on the body of the mouse leading to quicker movements. If you use a fingertip grip, then a lightweight or small gaming mouse is for you.
The claw grip is best for quick reactions and speed. It’s also very popular in the esports industry. The hand will appear like a claw while holding the mouse. The palm will be placed on the edge of the mouse. Apart from that, the fingers will arch and then rest on top of the buttons. Gamers with this type of grip need a mouse with a lower hump to ensure comfort.
Hand Size
The size of your hand will determine the right mouse size to get. To get the length of your hand, measure from the wrist towards the upper portion of your middle finger. To get the width of your palm, start from the part where the thumb meets your palm and then measure towards the other edge just below your pinkie.
Now, visit the website of the company to check out if the size of the mouse is the best fit for you. You can also use our guide below to determine the right mouse size based on your hand measurements:
- You need a small mouse if you have a hand length of under 6.7 inches (and below) and a width of 2.9 to 3.3 inches.
- You need a medium-sized mouse if you have a hand length of 6.8 inches to 7.9 inches. In addition, a width of 3.4 to 3.9 inches is recommended.
- You need a large mouse if your hand is over 7.9 inches in length. A width of 4.0 inches and above will need a large mouse too.
Frequently-Asked Questions (FAQs): Smallest Gaming Mouse
1. Is a lighter mouse better for gaming?
A lighter mouse is better for FPS games because it requires pinpoint accuracy and mobility. Quick and precise movements require a lighter mouse because it’s easier to carry. You can also use a heavy mouse to aim, however, it’s not the best idea if you’re into professional gaming. Typically, esports gamers use lightweight mice in the range of 80g to 100g.
Even though lighter mice are better for FPS games, the optimal gaming mouse for one person won’t be the best for another gamer. There are various factors to consider such as hand size, grip style, degree of customization, and more.
2. How big is a small gaming mouse?
With a multitude of options in the market, there are various sizes available for a gaming mouse. Typically, a small gaming mouse has a length of 128mm and under. On the other hand, lightweight mice are typically considered to be those that weigh 80g and below.
3. Is a smaller mouse better for FPS?
We can say that a “lighter” (not smaller) mouse is better for FPS games, though obviously smaller mice will be lighter as well. A lightweight (or small) mouse can help improve aim, accuracy, and quick responses for FPS games. There’s no sweet spot as to what mouse is better for a particular gamer, as various factors (e.g. hand size, grip style, etc.) tend to contribute to one’s overall needs.
4. What mouse size is best for my hands?
First, you should measure the length and the width of your hands. Once you have done so, you can also use our guide below to determine the right mouse size based on your hand measurements:
