The DREVO Falcon Wireless is an ultra-light gaming mouse that feels well-built and has an ambidextrous design, with two buttons on its left side and a CPI switching button below its scroll wheel. It has honeycomb cutouts on the top shell, sides, and left- and right-click buttons, with a white translucent plate below it that lets RGB light through. All of its buttons are programmable, but you can't program the scroll up/down inputs. Performance-wise, it has a low lift-off distance, and you can adjust the CPI by increments of 100 within a wide range. Unfortunately, the sensor is somewhat inconsistent and overshoots the set CPI more when moving the mouse quickly. Also, the click latency is very high for a gaming mouse.

Our Verdict

7.7 Office/Multimedia

The DREVO Falcon Wireless is good for office use. It feels well-built and comfortable, and it's suitable for almost all hand sizes using any grip type. You can use it wired with its charging cable or wirelessly via its USB receiver. Also, you can program all of its buttons except for the scroll up/down inputs. Unfortunately, the scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons, and it can't unlock for free scrolling. Also, it doesn't support Bluetooth.

Pros
  • Can be used wirelessly.
  • Good number of programmable buttons.
  • Feels well-built.
Cons
  • Scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons and free-scrolling.
7.5 Video Games (FPS)

The DREVO Falcon Wireless is good for FPS gaming, but the click latency is very high for a gaming mouse. It's fairly light and feels well-built, with a flexible paracord-like charging cable and smooth-gliding mouse feet. It's suitable for almost all hand sizes using any grip type, although people with small hands may struggle with a fingertip grip. Also, it has a low lift-off distance, and you can adjust the CPI by increments of 100 within a wide range.

Pros
  • Low lift-off distance.
  • Fairly lightweight.
  • Feels well-built.
Cons
  • Very high click latency.
7.1 Video Games (MMO)

The DREVO Falcon Wireless is decent for MMO gaming, but it doesn't have nearly as many buttons as dedicated MMO mice, and its click latency is very high for a gaming mouse. On the bright side, it feels comfortable to use, and it's suitable for almost all hand sizes using any grip type. It feels well-built, and it has a flexible paracord-like charging cable, a wide CPI range with a CPI that you can adjust in increments of 100, and a low lift-off distance.

Pros
  • Low lift-off distance.
  • Fairly lightweight.
  • Feels well-built.
Cons
  • Very high click latency.
  • Doesn't have as many buttons as MMO mice do.
  • CPI can only be adjusted in increments of 100.
7.7 Ultra-Light Gaming

The DREVO Falcon Wireless is a good ultra-light gaming mouse, but it's somewhat heavier than what we consider lightweight, and the click latency is very high for a gaming mouse. That said, it feels well-built, with smooth-gliding mouse feet and a flexible, paracord-like charging cable.

Pros
  • Low lift-off distance.
  • Fairly lightweight.
  • Feels well-built.
Cons
  • Very high click latency.
7.9 Travel

The DREVO Falcon Wireless is good for travel, but it isn't as low profile as dedicated travel mice. However, you can use it wirelessly via its USB receiver, and you can store the receiver within the mouse when not in use. Also, it has onboard memory, so you can use your settings on a different computer that doesn't have the software installed. It feels well-built, and it's suitable for any grip type for almost all hand sizes, although people with small hands may struggle with a fingertip grip. Unfortunately, there's no Bluetooth support.

Pros
  • Can be used wirelessly.
  • Feels well-built.
  • Has onboard memory.
Cons
  • Somewhat bulky; may not fit in laptop cases.
  • Lacks Bluetooth support.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

We tested the DREVO Falcon Wireless in black, but it's also available in white. You can see our unit's label here.

Compared To Other Mice

The DREVO Falcon Wireless is a good ultra-light wireless gaming mouse, but it's heavier than other dedicated lightweight mice. Like many lightweight mice, it has a honeycomb cutout design, but it also has a translucent cover below the cutouts that adds to the overall weight. While it has a wide CPI range with an adjustable CPI and programmable buttons, it has very high latency for a gaming mouse, which might make it unsuitable for some fast-paced games.

For other options, see our recommendations for the best gaming mouse, the best wireless gaming mouse, and the best cheap gaming mouse.

Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT is a much better ultra-light gaming mouse than the DREVO Falcon Wireless RGB. It's significantly lighter, it feels better built, and it has smoother-gliding mouse feet. Also, it has a more adjustable CPI within a wider range, a lower lift-off distance, and much lower click latency. The DREVO has a more flexible charging cable, and it has customizable RGB, which the Logitech lacks.

Logitech G Pro Wireless

The DREVO Falcon Wireless RGB and the Logitech G Pro Wireless are both wireless gaming mice with similar shapes, but the Logitech performs better overall. The Logitech is slightly lighter and feels better built. Also, it has a wider CPI range, a more precisely adjustable CPI, a much more consistent sensor, and a lower lift-off distance. Also, it has much lower click latency, and it has two additional programmable buttons, including two buttons on its left side. On the other hand, the DREVO has a more flexible charging cable.

Razer Viper Ultimate

The Razer Viper Ultimate is a better gaming mouse than the DREVO Falcon Wireless RGB. The Razer is much lighter, and it has a much lower latency. Also, its CPI range is wider, you can adjust the CPI in more precise increments, and its lift-off distance is much lower. It has two additional side buttons on the right side, and you can assign a HyperShift button which allows you to enable a second layer of controls for as long as you hold it. On the other hand, the DREVO accommodates larger hand sizes using a palm or claw grip.

Razer Viper Mini

The Razer Viper Mini is a better ultra-light gaming mouse than the DREVO Falcon Wireless RGB. The Razer is much smaller and lighter, and it has better quality mouse feet. Also, it has significantly lower latency, and you can assign a HyperShift button which allows you to enable a second layer of customization for as long you hold it. On the other hand, the DREVO has a wider CPI range, and you can use it wirelessly via its USB receiver. The DREVO accommodates more hand sizes with a palm or claw grip, whereas the Razer is better with a fingertip grip for any hand size.

XTRFY M4 RGB

The XTRFY M4 RGB and the DREVO Falcon Wireless RGB are both ultra-light gaming mice, but the XTRFY performs better overall. It has a lower lift-off distance, much lower latency, and a somewhat more consistent sensor. Also, the XTRFY is much lighter, and it has better quality mouse feet. You can cycle between eight CPI presets with a button on the underside of the mouse. On the other hand, the DREVO has a lower minimum CPI, and you can adjust the CPI manually in increments of 100. Also, unlike the XTRFY, the DREVO has customization software, so you can remap all of its buttons, customize the RGB, and create profiles.

GLORIOUS Model D

The GLORIOUS Model D is a better ultra-light gaming mouse than the DREVO Falcon Wireless RGB. It's a wired, right-handed mouse that's significantly lighter, and it has a more flexible cable and better quality mouse feet. Also, it has much lower latency and a slightly more consistent sensor. On the other hand, the DREVO has a wider CPI range, and it has a symmetrical shape that's more suitable for small hands using a claw grip.

Xenics Titan GX AIR Wireless

The Xenics Titan GX AIR Wireless is a better ultra-light gaming mouse than the DREVO Falcon Wireless RGB. The Xenics is much lighter, feels better built, and has smoother-gliding mouse feet. Also, it has a wider CPI range, a more adjustable CPI, and a lower lift-off distance. While both mice have fairly high click latencies, it's lower on the Xenics, especially when used wirelessly. Both mice are suitable for all grip types, but people with small hands may feel more comfortable with the DREVO for a palm or claw grip.
