The DELUX M700 a budget-level ultra-light gaming mouse, but its click latency is disappointingly high, which isn't ideal for gaming. That said, it has a very wide CPI range, a CPI you can adjust precisely in increments of 50, and a low lift-off distance. Its honeycomb body helps reduce the weight, although it isn't as light as other ultra-light wired gaming mice we've tested. It has a flexible paracord-like cable and smooth-gliding mouse feet, although the feet make a scratching sound when used directly on desks. It feels well-built, and it's suitable for most hand sizes using a claw or fingertip grip.
Our Verdict
The DELUX M700 mouse is decent for office use. It feels well-built, and its ambidextrous shape is suitable for most hand sizes using a claw or fingertip grip. It's fully compatible with macOS and Windows, and you can program all of the buttons by using the dedicated software, but it's available on Windows only. Unfortunately, you can't use it wirelessly, and its scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons and free scrolling.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
We tested the DELUX M700 in black with the PMW3389 sensor. It's also available with a PixArt PMW3327 sensor. There's a variant called the DELUX M700A that's available with the Adopt A725 sensor and the Adopt A825 sensor. You can choose from three colors: black, white, and pink. We expect the physical aspects of these four mice to be similar, but the performance may differ significantly between each version. You can see our unit's label here.

The Razer Viper Mini and the DELUX M700 are both ultra-light gaming mice. The DELUX has a much wider CPI range and a more precisely adjustable CPI, but it has a disappointingly high click latency, which may be a deal-breaker for some gamers. While the Razer doesn't have a honeycomb design like the DELUX, it still weighs much less. Also, the Razer feels better built and its feet have rounded edges that don't make a scratching sound on desks like the DELUX's sharp edges do.
The GLORIOUS Model O and the DELUX M700 are both ultra-light gaming mice with honeycomb designs. The GLORIOUS has a slightly lighter weight, a more flexible cable, and smoother gliding mouse feet. Also, it has a lower lift-off distance and a much lower latency. While the DELUX has a much wider CPI range and a more precisely adjustable CPI, its click latency is disappointingly high, which may be a deal-breaker for some gamers.
The GLORIOUS Model D and the DELUX M700 are both ultra-light gaming mice with honeycomb designs. The DELUX has a wider CPI range, a more precisely adjustable CPI, a more consistent sensor, and two buttons below its scroll wheel instead of just one like the GLORIOUS; however, the DELUX has a disappointingly high click latency that may make it feel too unresponsive for gaming.
The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED is a wireless gaming mouse, while the DELUX M700 is a wired ultra-light gaming mouse. The DELUX is lighter and has smoother-gliding mouse feet. It also has a much wider CPI range. However, its click latency is disappointingly high, which may be a deal-breaker for some gamers. On the other hand, the Logitech feels significantly more responsive and has a lower minimum lift-off distance, so the sensor shouldn't track your movements when you reposition your mouse. Also, its customization software is available on both Windows and macOS, while the software for the DELUX is only compatible with Windows.
