The DELUX M800 Wireless is a wireless gaming mouse with an ambidextrous shape and two buttons on its left side. It's light and feels well-built, although there's some wobble in the scroll wheel, and the mouse rattles when shaken. You can customize the RGB backlighting and remap all of its buttons using the dedicated DELUX M800 software compatible with Windows. It has a wide CPI range and a set CPI that you can adjust in increments of 100. Unfortunately, its sensor is somewhat inconsistent, and its click latency is quite high and may not feel responsive enough for some gamers.
Our Verdict
The DELUX M800 is good for office use. It feels well-built and is suitable with any grip type for almost all hand sizes, although people with extra-large hands may struggle with a palm or claw grip. You can use it wirelessly via its USB receiver, and you can remap all of its buttons using the dedicated software available on Windows. While you can't make customizations to the mouse on macOS, all the buttons still work. Unfortunately, its scroll wheel doesn't have L/R tilt buttons and can't unlock for free-scrolling. Also, it doesn't have Bluetooth support, and you can't pair it with more than one device at once.
- Comfortable ambidextrous shape.
- Feels well-built.
- Good amount of programmable buttons.
- Has USB receiver storage.
- Scroll wheel doesn't have L/R tilt buttons or free-scrolling.
- No Bluetooth support.
The DELUX M800 is good for gaming. It's lightweight and has a sturdy-feeling, ambidextrous shape that's well-suited for any hand size using a fingertip grip. You can customize its RGB lighting and remap its buttons with its dedicated software. It has a wide CPI range, a CPI you can adjust in increments of 100, and a low lift-off distance. It has a flexible paracord-like cable and decent mouse feet, but the feet make a scratching sound when used directly on a desk. Unfortunately, its click latency is quite high, and its sensor is somewhat inconsistent.

The DELUX M800 is decent for MMO gaming. While it doesn't have nearly as many buttons as dedicated MMO mice do, you can remap all of the buttons it does have. It feels well-built, and it's suitable with any grip type for almost all hand sizes. It has a low lift-off distance, a CPI profile switching button below its scroll wheel, a wide CPI range, and a CPI that you can adjust in increments of 100. Unfortunately, its click latency is high, and its sensor is somewhat inconsistent.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
There are three different mice called the DELUX M800. There are two wireless versions called the M800DB: one with a PAW3335 sensor and one with a PMW3325 sensor; we tested the variant with the PAW3335 sensor. There's also a wired version with a PMW3389 sensor called the M800BU. We expect the physical aspects of these three mice to be similar, but the performance may differ significantly between each version. You can see our unit's label here.
Popular Mouse Comparisons
The DELUX M800 is a budget gaming mouse with an ambidextrous-shaped body and two buttons on its left side, and it looks very similar to the Razer Viper Mini. Compared to similar wireless mice, this model falls short with its performance. Its click latency is quite high and doesn't feel as responsive as other options. Also, it has a somewhat inconsistent sensor that tends to undershoot the set CPI more when moving the mouse slow than when moving it fast.
For other options, see our recommendations for the best cheap gaming mouse, the best FPS mouse, and the best wireless gaming mouse.
The Razer Viper Mini and the DELUX M800 Wireless are both FPS gaming mice, but the Razer is a wired model, and the DELUX is wireless. The Razer has a lighter weight, smoother-gliding mouse feet, and a sturdier-feeling build. Its sensor is more consistent, and its click latency is significantly lower. On the other hand, the DELUX has a wider CPI range. Also, thanks to its larger size, the DELUX is more suitable for people with medium or large hands using a palm or claw grip.
The Logitech G Pro X SUPERLIGHT and the DELUX M800 Wireless are both lightweight, wireless gaming mice, but the Logitech performs better overall. It has a significantly lighter weight, a CPI you can adjust more precisely in increments of 50, and a lower lift-off distance, so the sensor shouldn't track movements when you reposition your mouse. Also, it has a much more consistent sensor, and its latency is significantly lower. However, the Logitech doesn't have customizable RGB lighting like the DELUX does.
The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED and the DELUX M800 Wireless are both cheap wireless gaming mice. The DELUX has a much lighter weight and a lower minimum CPI, and you can use it both wired or wirelessly. However, the Logitech has a lower lift-off distance, a significantly more consistent sensor, a more precisely adjustable CPI, and much lower click latency.
The Logitech G Pro Wireless and the DELUX M800 Wireless are wireless gaming mice with ambidextrous shapes, but the Logitech performs better. The Logitech has two buttons on each side and smoother-gliding mouse feet. Also, it has a wider CPI range, a more precisely adjustable CPI, and a lower lift-off distance. Its sensor is significantly more consistent, and it has a much lower click latency. On the other hand, the DELUX weighs less, and its paracord-like charging cable is more flexible than Logitech's rubber cable.
Test Results

The polling rate options available on the DELUX M800 are 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz. Unfortunately, the sensor is somewhat inconsistent. We tested the variant with the PAW3335 sensor, but these results may differ if you get the variant with the PMW3325 or the PMW3389 sensor.
