The Finalmouse Ultralight 2 is a great gaming mouse that's ultra-lightweight like its name suggests. This honeycomb-patterned mouse is one of the lightest we've measured and has great performance. Unfortunately, you need to download third-party software to customize the CPI and the overall performance of the mouse. The default four CPI settings might not be ideal for everyone. This mouse is also very small, which isn't suited for larger hands, but it does come with 'infinityskins', which are latex grips that you can stick on the mouse to modify its size and shape.
Note: Finalmouse produces one mouse at a time and then proceeds to make a drop sale, meaning it's only available for a certain amount of time, or until stock runs out. At the time of publishing, the Ultralight 2 drop is over. This means that any model found online is coming from a third-party reseller, and not the company itself. We also had to purchase our unit via this method.
Our Verdict
Just okay for office. The mouse is pretty small and doesn't offer great ergonomics for larger hands. However, you can customize its size using the included infinityskin. You also can't customize its programmable buttons, unless you get third-party software.
- Ultra lightweight.
- Customizable shape and size.
- Excellent performance.
- No dedicated software; third-party only.
- Very small design, not suitable for larger hands without customization.
Very good for games like FPS. It's a very light mouse with excellent click latency. This mouse has pretty good performance, although you can't customize its CPI to your liking without third-party software. It's also quite small and larger hands can have some issues holding the mouse, although you can use the included infinityskin to mod the shape and form of the mouse.
