The G-Wolves Hati HT-S ACE Edition is an excellent ultra-lightweight gaming mouse. It feels well-built, and it's one of the lightest mice we've tested. Its body has two side buttons on the left and honeycomb cutouts on the top shell and sides. Its comfortable ambidextrous shape is well-suited for all grip types and accommodates all but extra-large hand sizes. That said, there's a larger version of this mouse, the G-Wolves Hati HT-M Classic Edition, which is better suited for larger hands. It also has a high-quality paracord-like cable with decent flexibility and mouse feet that glide smoothly on mousepads and desks. Performance-wise, it has a very low lift-off distance, and you can adjust the CPI by increments of 50 across a broad range. Unfortunately, the G-Wolves Hati S has very high click latency for a gaming mouse, and there's some minor flex and creaking when you apply enough pressure to the sides or bottom of the honeycomb body.
The G-Wolves Hati S is satisfactory for office and multimedia work. It feels well-built and has a comfortable ambidextrous shape that's suitable for all grip types and all but extra-large hands. You can also program all the buttons using the customization software. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any wireless connection options, and the scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons and has no free-scrolling mode.
The G-Wolves Hati S is a great mouse for FPS gaming, but its click latency is high for a gaming mouse, and many gamers may prefer a more responsive option. That said, it feels well-built and is extremely lightweight. Its comfortable ambidextrous shape is well-suited for all grip types and all but extra-large hand sizes. It also has a high-quality, decently flexible cable and mouse feet that glide smoothly on mousepads and desks. Performance-wise, it has a very low lift-off distance, and you can adjust the CPI precisely by increments of 50 within a broad range.
The G-Wolves Hati S is decent for MMO gaming, but it doesn't have nearly as many side buttons as a dedicated MMO gaming mouse, and it has high click latency compared to similar mice. That said, you can reprogram all of the buttons it does have using the customization software. It also feels well-built and has a comfortable, ambidextrous shape well-suited for all grip types and all except for extra-large hand sizes. Performance-wise it has a very low lift-off distance, and you can adjust the CPI precisely by increments of 50 within a broad range.

The G-Wolves Hati S is inadequate for travel as it's bulky and likely won't fit in most laptop cases. It also lacks wireless connection options, making it cumbersome to use in tight spaces like buses, trains, or planes. That said, it feels well-built and has an ambidextrous shape well-suited for all grip types and all except for extra-large-sized hands. It also has onboard memory that allows you to use custom settings on computers without the software installed.
We tested the G Wolves Hati S ACE Edition which has a PixArt 3389 Sensor, Omron 20m switches, and honeycomb cutouts in the sides and at the top of the body. Later versions of the ACE have Kailh 8.0 switches instead of the Omron 20m switches. There's also a classic variant of this mouse with a PMW 3360 sensor, honeycomb cutouts in only the top of the body, and, depending on its production date, either Omron 20m or Kailh 8.0 switches. While certain aspects of our review may apply to both variants, we expect them to perform differently.
The unit we tested is the Stardust Black/Red color version, but it's also available in Stardust Black and Stardust Universe Blue. You can see the label for our unit here.
The G-Wolves Hati S is an excellent lightweight gaming mouse. It's the smaller version of the G-Wolves Hati HT-M Classic Edition, and it's an ambidextrous counterpart to the similar G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition. Its shape is very similar to the Logitech G Pro Wireless, and while many players prefer the shape of the Skoll for palm grip, the Hati has a reputation as a great claw grip mouse. It's suitable for all hand sizes except extra-large hands, but some people may still find it very small in hand and may prefer the larger and slightly heavier Hati HT-M.

You can reprogram all the buttons on the G-Wolves Hati S, including the polling rate button on the underside. However, you can't reprogram the scroll up/down inputs, and you need to assign the left-click function to a button at all times. You can also set up to seven CPI profiles on the G-Wolves Hati S and cycle between them using the CPI button behind the scroll wheel by default.
Update 02/14/2022: Following a firmware update (V.0100) the latency of this mouse was retested. It was retested at its maximum polling rate setting of 1000Hz and with the debounce set to its lowest value of 4ms. This test yielded a result of 12.5ms, which is lower than the initial testing result of 20.5ms. The latency score has been upgraded from 7.1 to 8.2.
The polling rate options on the G-Wolves Hati S are 125Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz.
