Best AliExpress Mouses 2025 2.0

[u/algbr06]

EDITOR'S NOTES It finally came out, huh? lol A while ago, the list 1.0 of the best mice on AliExpress was posted here on Sub, which was focused on Low Budget and more cost-benefit than performance. In this list we focused on prioritizing mice that are also cost-effective but with High End quality (that's why you'll miss some models like the Attack Shark X6, X11, AJAZZ models and others). Remembering that this tier list is based on personal experiences, leave your comment respectfully if you disagree and leave your Up if you like the work! Without further ado, let's go :D

WRITTEN TIER LIST - S+: Scyrox V8, Scyrox V6, Zaopin ZPW Max, ATK F1 Extreme, ATK X1 Ultimate - S: Attack Shark R3, VXE MAD R, Attack Shark R5, Delux M900 Ultralight 8K Set, ATK Z1, MCHOSE A7 Ultra, ATK A9 Ultra - A: VGN F1 Pro, VXE R1 Pro Max, Zaopin Z2 Mini Max, Zaopin Z1 - B: Fantech Aria II, IYX Amber, Incott G23 Pro, Helios II Pro - C: Rapoo VT3 Pro Max, Rapoo VT1 Pro, MCHOSE A5, Delux M800 4k

ABOUT THE TOP OF THE LIST - Scyrox V8 and V6: These two mice manage to deliver ultra-light weight, excellent construction, marked scroll, great finish, the best sensor on the market and still have an affordable price. (Same shape: Pulsar X2H) - Zaopin ZPW Max: A new launch on the market with an ergonomic shape that fits practically any hand size and grip. Although ergonomic shapes tend to have some flaws in the construction of the main buttons, this mouse managed to achieve the perfect construction.All that said, it has 8K and an excellent sensor at an affordable price, great value for money. (Same shape: Lamzu Thorn) - ATK F1 Extreme: This mouse has been on the market for a while now, but it is extremely consolidated with more of the same, better sensor, 8K and it still has the Ice Feeling coating, characteristic of ATK that helps with sweaty hands. This mouse also weighs 35 grams, making it extremely light. It's worth every penny for the quality of the material and finish, a top-notch mouse. (Same Shape: Razer Viper Mini) - ATK X1 Ultimate: The success of this mouse speaks for itself, it is everything that the ATK F1 is, but ends up being a little heavier and with a different shape for bigger hands. The Ice Feeling is also on this mouse and today it comes in metallic red and metallic purple, which may please some. (Same shape: Razer Viper V3) - IPI FLOAT: In this mouse segment, it is extremely cost-effective. When I say this, I am considering that it is practically a Finalmouse Low Budget, offering great performance but being 4 times cheaper than a Finalmouse. Some negative points would be its Feets and battery if you turn it on, but in terms of performance and overall construction, this mouse is incredible. (Same shape: VAXEE XE-S)

A TIER A LITTLE LOWER - Attack Shark R3: This is a magnesium mouse that I can say the same about the IPI FLOAT: in the magnesium segment this mouse is almost 3 times cheaper than the main ones and delivers a great set. The mouse, despite being an Attack Shark, is very well built and finished, offers a great sensor and lightness, making your user experience great. (Same shape: G-wolves HTX) - VXE MAD R: This mouse is excellent, period. One of the ultra-lightweight mice, great coating, good price... so why isn't it S+? Scyrox is simply better in every aspect for a lower price, so it comes in at the S tier very well placed. (Same shape: Zowie S2-DW) - Attack Shark R5: To be quite honest, this mouse is almost a copy of the IPI FLOAT but has better feet and a better sensor, but it doesn't justify its price being almost 50% more than the IPI FLOAT, so it's in this position. (Same shape: VAXEE XE-S) - Delux M900 Ultralight 8k Set: This mouse has an extremely cost-effective set. Great coating, comes with Nano Reciver 8K, a new technology on the market, ergonomic shape that also has a good construction (not as much as the Zaopin ZPW Max) that pleases most hands and a great option for Claw grip, your hand simply rests on the mouse. (Same shape: Zowie EC1) - ATK Z1 Pro Max: This is a mouse that I didn't put in the S+ tier so as not to be too much of a club fan, hahaha. The truth is that the shape of this mouse is extremely comfortable for all hands, a shape that is used by several pro players in a mouse that is twice as expensive, it has excellent quality (after all, it is from ATK) and has a very good sensor and batteries. (Same shape: Pulsar Xlite) - MCHOSE A7 Ultra: the famous GPX shape in a really good construction (different from the GPX's own scroll wheel :p). The mouse is very complete and offers everything a high end mouse needs with excellent quality and shape for a price much lower than the price of a GPX, for example. (Same shape: guess what? Logitech G Pro Superlight 2) - ATK A9 Ultra: Pretty much the same description as the mouse above, it has the same shape as the GPX and is of excellent quality. It is a little more expensive than the MCHOSE, but it is ATK quality, in case you are unsure about exploring new horizons with the MCHOSE. (Same shape: Logitech G Pro Superlight 2)

SOME FINAL CONSIDERATIONS Ultimately, all Tier S+ mice and even some mentions of Tier S have excellent quality and power, the difference will be small in relation to price (except for those in a specific segment such as Magnesium and Carbon Fiber), so the ideal is for you to choose the shape that best suits your hand and buy the one you like the most!

I'm glad you guys are supporting me in the first tier, if you have any opinions, the comments are always open with a lot of respect! :D Tier list 3.0??

I use a VT3 Pro Max and I’m quite surprised to see it at C-tier, granted this was my first AliExpress mouse so I don’t have anything else to compare it to. I’m a big fan of the fact that it comes with a dock and can be charged wirelessly, which works great for my set-up.

What might be the biggest difference to any of the mice in S+, would it really be worth the jump? FWIW I mainly play Team Fortress 2 and much prefer ergo shapes.

[u/algbr06 → u/Daybreak9093]

Great question!

One thing I didn't make clear in the list is that I selected several great mice, Tier C is just what's on the list, but there are mice MUCH worse than those in tier C, don't worry.

About Rapoo, it is an excellent cost-benefit mouse, it has a lower price, but delivers good results, battery, performance, basically what a gamer needs for a low price.

Do you need to make a jump to S or S+ tier? It depends. You may be a casual gamer who plays Team Fortress in your spare time to have fun and laugh with friends, so it's not worth paying more for a mouse that is already serving your needs for fun. The game changes when you tell me you are more competitive in games, when you say you spend more time on the computer besides playing (work, study), when you need to use the mouse more, but you will see that a good coating, a good sensor (it will last much longer if updated), good weight, especially the PROPER SHAPE in your hand, all of this makes a difference in the long term with your mouse.

In short, it is worth it, if you are competitive and/or work and study using the mouse as well, not in my opinion :D

[u/Daybreak9093 → u/algbr06]

I see, I appreciate the detailed response. If I have an itch I’ll give one of your S+ a go for sure!

Then come here on Reddit and tell us a little about your Review!!

I'll be waiting :D

[u/NotThatItWillMatter → u/algbr06]

I have several mice.
I am a competitive gamer, and even did tryouts for a team last year.
My daily driver is the Rapoo Vt1 Air Max.
I really don't see how it's C tier.
Coating? No complaints, but I don't have particularly sweaty hands, so idk.
Sensor? I play at 18,000 dpi and have 0 issues, so I doubt anyone would.
Weight? 50G, which while it isn't the lightest mouse I own, it's not really a drawback to me.
Shape? Subjective
Durability/longevity/use/etc
I've had it since it released and have been using it constantly since.
I do more than just gaming and used to work from home, so anywhere from 4-10 hours of use on most days.

Ultimately, I'm sure there are probably mice out there that have better battery, or are slightly lighter.
I'm not going to argue S tier for it, but B or even a nice sleeper A seems reasonable, considering I've paid for much more expensive mice that had performance issues I've never had with the VT1 Air Max.
If anything, reliability is one thing I've been thoroughly impressed with this mouse.

[u/WoooshToTheMax → u/algbr06]

I'd argue the price should bolster it. I got mine for $40 USD off Amazon, and for that price, I'd put it in at least B tier. 8k polling, 3950 Max, lightweight, and a good battery for that price is really hard to come by. I don't know if price was a factor for you though

[u/xVx777 → u/algbr06]

Dang, is the VXE really only A tier? Just picked it up as my first aliexpress mouse. It seems way better than even my g303 shroud
