At a mid-range price point, we recommend the LAMZU MAYA. It has a small-medium symmetrical shape with a fairly low, centered hump and relatively straight sides that comfortably accommodates palm, claw, and fingertip grips for most hand sizes. It’s also incredibly lightweight, coming in below 50 grams, so it’s super easy to aim and flick quickly and accurately. Despite its weight, it has excellent build quality, with a premium-feeling plastic shell and no creaking or rattling. Unfortunately, its open bottom plate design leaves the inside prone to collecting dust and debris.
The MAYA boasts some serious performance chops, too. Its outstanding click and sensor latency delivers an incredibly responsive-feeling gaming experience. Out of the box, the version we tested has a maximum polling rate of 1000Hz but supports a higher 4000Hz polling rate with the purchase of a separate dongle from LAMZU. Our top pick, the Razer Viper V3 Pro, has marginally better performance overall and supports a higher 8000Hz polling rate out of the box. It’s also bigger and has a slightly more accommodating shape for larger hand sizes.
That said, the MAYA has several variants, including the larger LAMZU MAYA X, which is closer in size to the Razer. Check out the Differences Between Variants section in our full review for more information about those variants. Note that it’s most readily available from LAMZU’s website. Altogether, this mouse delivers comparable build quality and performance that comes close to matching our top pick but at a more approachable price point.
