The G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition is an ultra-light gaming mouse with honeycomb cutouts on the top and sides of its body, and it's one of the lightest mice we've tested. It has a right-handed shape with two buttons on its left side, and it's suitable for most hand sizes using any grip type, though people with extra-large hands may not feel comfortable with any grip type. It feels well-built, though the plastic feels a bit cheap, and it flexes when you apply pressure to the underside of the mouse. Performance-wise, it has a wide CPI range with a CPI that you can adjust in increments of 50. Also, it has a very low lift-off distance and low click latency, though some gamers may prefer a more responsive-feeling option. It comes with TTC Pink switches if you want to replace the L/R click buttons' stock Omron 50M switches; however, the switches aren't hot-swappable, so you need to solder them in yourself.

Our Verdict

0.0
Office/Multimedia 

The G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition is decent for office use. It feels well-built and is suitable for most hand sizes using any grip type, though people with extra-large hands may not feel comfortable with any grip type. You can remap all of its buttons using the dedicated software, and all of its default buttons work on Windows and macOS. Unfortunately, you can't use it wirelessly, and its scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons and a free-scrolling mode.

Pros
  • All default button bindings work on Windows and macOS.
  • Suitable for most hand sizes using any grip type.
Cons
  • Scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons and free-scrolling.
  • Wired-only.

Video Games (FPS) 

The G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition is great for FPS gaming. It has a low click latency, although some gamers who play fast-paced games often may prefer it lower. That said, it's very lightweight, and it's one of the lightest mice we've tested. It feels well-built, and it has smooth-gliding mouse feet and a flexible paracord-like cable. Performance-wise, it has a very low lift-off distance, a fairly consistent sensor, a wide CPI range with a CPI you can adjust in increments of 50.

Pros
  • Extremely lightweight.
  • Very low lift-off distance.
  • Suitable for most hand sizes using any grip type.
  • Adjustable CPI in increments of 50.
Cons
  • Click latency isn't as low as other options.

Video Games (MMO) 

The G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition is decent for MMO gaming, but it doesn't have nearly as many buttons as dedicated MMO gaming mice. That said, you can reprogram all the buttons it does have using the dedicated software. It feels well-built, and it's suitable for any grip type for all hand sizes except for extra-large hands. It has an adjustable CPI within a wide range, a very low lift-off distance, and low click latency, although some gamers may prefer it lower.

Pros
  • Very low lift-off distance.
  • Suitable for most hand sizes using any grip type.
  • Adjustable CPI in increments of 50.
Cons
  • Doesn't have as many buttons as dedicated MMO mice.
  • Can't assign a profile-switching button.
  • Click latency isn't as low as other options.

Ultra-Light Gaming 

The G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition is an amazing ultra-light gaming mouse. It's extremely lightweight, and it's among the lightest mice we've tested. It's suitable for any grip type for all hand sizes except for extra-large hands. It feels well-built, and it has a flexible, paracord-like cable and smooth-gliding mouse feet. The click latency is low, but some gamers may prefer it lower.

Pros
  • Extremely lightweight.
  • Very low lift-off distance.
  • Adjustable CPI in increments of 50.
Cons
  • Click latency isn't as low as other options.

Travel 

The G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition is inadequate for travel since it's a wired mouse, so its cable might get in the way if used in small spaces like planes, trains, or buses. Also, it's a bit bulky and may not easily fit into a laptop case. On the bright side, it has onboard memory, so you can keep your settings when using a computer that doesn't have the customization software installed.

Pros
  • Extremely lightweight.
  • All default button bindings work on Windows and macOS.
Cons
  • Wired-only.
  • Bulky; may not fit in laptop cases.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    We tested the G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition in Black/Red, but it's available in a few colorways, like Black/White, Sakura Pink, and Black. There's also a larger version called the G-Wolves Skoll SK-L ACE Edition, but it has a PMW3360 sensor. You can see our unit's label here.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition is the 2020 update of the original G-Wolves Skoll SK-S. It has a similar shape to the BenQ ZOWIE EC2, but it has a honeycomb cutout design on its palm rest and sides. It's one of the lightest mice we've tested and is nearly the same weight as the Finalmouse Starlight-12 Small. It has a low click latency, although some other options in this price range are more responsive-feeling. Unfortunately, while it has a good quality paracord-like cable, it uses a micro-USB port instead of the newer USB-C ports seen on other mice.

    For more options, see our recommendations for the best gaming mice, the best wired mice, and the best lightweight mouse.

    Finalmouse Starlight-12 Small

    Track

    The G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition and the Finalmouse Starlight-12 Small are very lightweight gaming mice, but the G-Wolves has a right-hand design while the Finalmouse has an ambidextrous one. The G-Wolves is a wired-only model better suited for large hands using a palm or claw grip. It has a broader CPI range with a precisely adjustable CPI, and it has customization software, which the Finalmouse lacks. On the other hand, you can use the Finalmouse wirelessly with its USB receiver. Its charging cable is more flexible, its mouse feet glide more smoothly, and it has slightly lower click latency.

    Finalmouse Ultralight 2 - Cape Town

    Track

    The G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition and the Finalmouse Ultralight 2 - Cape Town are both excellent wired ultra-light gaming mice that weigh nearly the same, but the G-Wolves has a right-handed shape while the Finalmouse has an ambidextrous one. The G-Wolves has a wider CPI range, a precisely adjustable CPI, a lower lift-off distance, and a higher polling rate. Also, unlike the Finalmouse, you can program all of the buttons on the G-Wolves. On the other hand, the Finalmouse has lower click latency, smoother-gliding mouse feet, and a more flexible cable.

    BenQ ZOWIE EC2

    Track

    The G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition is an excellent ultra-light gaming mouse, while the BenQ ZOWIE EC2 is a good FPS gaming mouse. The G-Wolves is significantly lighter and feels better built. It has a more flexible cable, smoother-gliding mouse feet, and a lower lift-off distance. Also, the G-Wolves has customization software, unlike the BenQ, and you can reprogram buttons and adjust the CPI precisely. On the other hand, the BenQ has slightly lower click latency.

    XTRFY M4 RGB

    Track

    The XTRFY M4 RGB and the G-Wolves Skoll SK-S ACE Edition are both excellent ultra-light gaming mice. The XTRFY has lower click latency, better build quality, smoother-gliding mouse feet, and an RGB strip that wraps around the front of the side buttons and L/R click buttons. On the other hand, the G-Wolves is significantly lighter and is one of the lightest mice we've tested. Unlike with the XTRFY, which lacks native customization software, you can reprogram all of the buttons on the G-Wolves. Also, you can adjust its CPI precisely in increments of 50 within a wide range, whereas the XTRFY has only eight presets that you can cycle through.
