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

0.0
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.

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.

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.

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.
0.0
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.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    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.
