Razer Cobra Pro
Score: 9/10
High accuracy with the 30K Focus Pro sensor, but full features require additional purchases.
Sensor Accuracy
9/10
The Cobra Pro is equipped with the 30K Focus Pro sensor.
It's compatible with Razer's hyper polling dongle, which is 4K.
Straight out of the box, the Cobra Pro Wireless has a 1000 Hertz polling rate.

Quotes from Reviewers
The Cobra Pro weighs 77 grams, whereas the Viper Mini is just 61 grams.
With the Cobra Pro and the Viper Mini, I find it hard to use after a few hours because it's a lot smaller.
The texture on the Cobra Pro is a bit flatter here, so I started to notice fingerprints after use.

Quotes from Reviewers
The Cobra also sports two DPI-shifting buttons below the scroll wheel.
The scroll wheel features RGB lighting, and there is an RGB underglow running along the entire bottom backside of the mouse.
There is a dedicated profile switching button underneath the mouse, which is kind of odd.

Quotes from Reviewers
The switches also use the third generation of Razer Optical switches, which are rated for 90 million clicks.
Due to the extra tech inside, with the magnets in this spot, it does make it a bit back-heavy.
The rubberized sides can become quite slippery when the temperature rises a bit.

Quotes from Reviewers
Switching between Bluetooth mode, 2.4 gigahertz, or turning it off.
The ability to dock your mouse on Razer's magnetic charging dock.
Out of the box, you are not getting the charging dock, nor are you getting 4K compatibility.
Corsair Katar Pro XT
Score: 9/10
Offers high precision with an 18,000 DPI sensor, adjustable in one DPI increments.
Sensor Accuracy
9/10
The Guitar Pro XT features a PMW 3391 sensor, going up to 18,000 DPI, which is better for precision and tracking.
Corsair chose the BMW 3391 optical sensor for the Guitar XT Pro. This sensor offers an 18,000 DPI resolution.
You can adjust it in one dpi increments, which is a significant difference from many mice where you can only adjust in increments of 25, 50, or sometimes even 100 dpi.

Razer Viper V2 Pro HyperSpeed Wireless Gaming Mouse
Score: 9/10
The mouse features a high-performance Focus Pro 30K optical sensor, offering precise tracking and advanced customization options.
Sensor Accuracy
9/10
The new Focus Pro 30K optical sensor gives this a bonkers rating of 30,000 DPI, which is just super, super unnecessary.
This sensor is based on the Pixar 3950 sensor, and Razer has exclusivity on this sensor, so we won't see any mice coming out with it for a while.

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse
Score: 9/10
The HERO sensor provides high efficiency and performance, tracking accurately even at high DPI settings.
Sensor Accuracy
9/10
The HERO sensor consumes far less power than the 3366 but provides nearly the same performance.
When zooming in for the sniper test at 1600 dpi, it tracks pixel by pixel, so you shouldn't miss those tight shots.
I can't find any acceleration, but the deceleration looks spot-on.

Redragon M612 Predator RGB Gaming Mouse
Score: 9/10
High-precision sensor with adjustable DPI up to 10,000, offering exceptional tracking accuracy.
Sensor Accuracy
9/10
This actually has really good tracking; it's using the Pixart 3104 sensor.
This device offers up to 8000 DPI, but most users will never actually need to go that high.
Tracking is done with a Pixart 3104 optical sensor, featuring 15g acceleration and 8000 DPI, which I think should be more than enough for most gamers out there.

Quotes from Reviewers
The ergonomics of it are quite good. I was expecting it to be a lot smaller, but it's not.
It's designed with the highest and widest areas towards the back, and there's a pronounced flare that keeps your thumb supported.
As long as you're right-handed, the M612 should be a comfortable mouse regardless of your grip style.

Quotes from Reviewers
This has quite a bit on it. On the left side, there are two buttons. One has little nubs on it that are really grippy and easy to differentiate.
Configuring profiles, adjusting the DPI, and customizing buttons can all be done through a free software app.
Red Dragon software is not very user-friendly, and there's a delay when you apply settings.

Quotes from Reviewers
Overall, I'm extremely impressed with the build quality.
It feels solid and well-made in the hand, which is surprising for a mouse at such a low price point.
It weighed around 110 grams, and these days, most people would consider anything over 100 grams to be pretty heavy.

Quotes from Reviewers
The cable is pretty stiff, although some other Redragon mice have a very stiff cable.
The cable is 1.8 meters long and is made of braided fiber, which is nice to have, but unfortunately, it's really stiff.
As expected, though, the biggest downside was the stiff cable dragging around and bumping into my monitor stand.
Razer Basilisk V3 Customizable Ergonomic Gaming Mouse
Score: 9/10
The Razer Focus Plus sensor is highly accurate with a high DPI, though the maximum DPI may be excessive for most users.
Sensor Accuracy
9/10
This uses the Razer Focus Plus sensor, which, as I mentioned, is very tried and true. It is really, really good.
We went from a 20,000 dpi mouse sensor on the Razer Bacillus Ultimate mouse to an absolutely absurd 26,000 dpi optical mouse sensor, which is just bonkers.

The mouse features a highly accurate 20k optical sensor with impressive precision and response time.
Sensor Accuracy
9/10
The Viper Ultimate is equipped with a 20K optical sensor, which is very accurate and has a fantastic response time.
It is sensitive to your smallest movements, and the precision is very impressive.
Razer recognizes that no one really plays at those crazy high DPI levels, even though this sensor is rated up to 20,000 DPI.
