The Hitscan Hyperlight is an ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a symmetrical shape. It's fairly small and has a medium-sized hump with a gradual taper toward the rear and fairly straight sides that don't narrow very much towards the middle. It also has an open bottom plate design that saves weight but leaves the mouse open to collecting dust and debris. It uses a PixArt PAW3395 sensor and Nordic nRF52840 MCU that has support for a 1000Hz polling rate with the included dongle or an 8000Hz polling rate with the additional purchase of Hitscan's 8k dongle.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The Hitscan Hyperlight is an ultralight wireless gaming mouse with a fairly small symmetrical shape best suited for a fingertip grip or a claw grip for smaller hands. It has a slightly chalky matte coating well-suited for dry or even fairly sweaty hands, and its accommodating shape has a mid-size, central hump, relatively low button height, and fairly straight sides. This shape bears some similarities to mice like the LAMZU MAYA, the Ninjutso Sora V2, and the original Razer Viper Mini. This mouse is also noteworthy for having a sensor positioned slightly more towards the front, which some people favor, especially those who prefer slightly more aggressive, forward grip positions. Altogether, this mouse is an exceptionally lightweight option with a standout performance, but it sits at a very competitive price point, so we recommend focusing on whether its shape best suits your needs when making your buying decision.
For more recommendations, see our picks for the best gaming mouse, the best wireless gaming mouse, and the best lightweight mouse.
The Hitscan Hyperlight and the Scyrox V6 are lightweight wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. They're fairly similar design-wise, but the Hitscan is smaller overall and has a lower profile. They're both well-suited for most grip types, but the Scyrox is more accommodating for larger hands. Also, the Hitscan has an open bottom plate to achieve its lightness, whereas the Scyrox has a completely solid shell. Under the hood, the Hitscan has a PixArt 3395 sensor, while the Scyrox uses the newer 3950. They perform remarkably similarly, but the Scyrox supports an 8000Hz polling rate out of the box, whereas the Hitscan requires you to purchase an additional 8000Hz reciever.
The Scyrox V8 and the Hitscan Hyperlight are lightweight wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes, comparable raw gaming performance, and virtually the same weight. Shape-wise, the Scyrox has a slightly broader hump placed more towards the rear that fills out your palm and can provide more support, while the Hitscan has a more centered hump and a more forward sensor position. That said, the Scyrox has a solid baseplate design, while the Hitscan has a relatively more open baseplate that can collect more dust and debris.
The Razer Viper V3 Pro and the Hitscan Hyperlight are lightweight, symmetrical wireless gaming mice with mid-sized, mid-positioned humps. The Razer is larger and longer, accommodating more grip styles and hand sizes, with superior raw performance and an included 8000Hz dongle. The Hitscan is smaller and significantly lighter. Owing to its smaller stature and more forward sensor position, it's better suited for smaller hands and more aggressive fingertip or claw grip types. However, it also has an open bottom plate that's more prone to collecting dust and debris. Its dongle supports 1000Hz, with an optional 8000Hz dongle available with an additional purchase.
The LAMZU MAYA and the Hitscan Hyperlight are lightweight wireless mice that are virtually the same size, offer similar shapes, and deliver comparable gaming performance. The Hitscan is slightly lighter and has comparatively flatter sides. You may prefer the Hitscan if you use a more aggressive grip type closer to the front of the mouse, as it has a slightly more forward sensor position.
Test Results
The Hitscan Hyperlight has a straightforward design and a minimal look. There's no RGB lighting, but there's an LED light above the scroll wheel that temporarily displays a color to indicate your chosen CPI profile and battery status.
If you're interested in a wireless gaming mouse that has a very similar shape and also has RGB lighting, check out the Razer Cobra HyperSpeed.
The Hitscan Hyperlight mouse has excellent build quality. While the plastic body has some marginal flexibility, it doesn't feel flimsy at all despite its remarkably light weight.
There are no loose parts or rattling sounds if you shake the mouse, but you can produce very minor creaking noise if you apply considerable pressure.
The primary click and side buttons have a satisfying tactility, and the body has a pleasant matte coating with a somewhat chalky finish.
Note that the underside has an open design that saves on weight. However, this design also makes the mouse more likely to collect dust and debris relative to mice with more conventional solid bottom plates.
If you're interested in a similar gaming mouse with a more conventional, solid bottom plate design, check out the Scyrox V6.
Hitscan advertises a weight of 39g ± 1g for the Hitscan Hyperlight, but this is misleading as it comes without feet installed. Our measurements above are with the larger mouse feet installed.
The Hitscan Hyperlight is a fairly small mouse but has an accommodating mid-size middle-placed hump and fairly flat sides without any aggressive tapering.
Altogether, this shape is well-suited for claw or fingertip grips meant for medium- or smaller-sized hands. The slightly forward sensor position is particularly well-suited for more aggressive claw or fingertip grips closer to the front of the mouse.
However, if you have larger hands, you'll likely find the mouse feels too small for a palm or relaxed claw grip. Furthermore, if you have extra-large hands, it doesn't provide enough surface area for a palm grip or a claw grip.
This mouse has a 250 mAh battery. Hitscan advertises a 75-hour battery life, and we expect this to be attainable with a 1000Hz polling rate.
If you buy the 8k receiver, the higher polling rates will consume battery life considerably faster. Hitscan doesn't have any additional battery life estimates for higher polling rates, but we expect around a maximum of around 15–20 hours using an 8000Hz polling rate based on other mice we've tested with the same battery size. If you have this mouse and want to share your experience with the battery life, leave a comment.
This mouse comes with a paracord-like cable that’s moderately flexible but somewhat thick, causing it to drag slightly on mousepads due to its weight. It also retains some minor kinks from its packaging, and it's somewhat shorter than most cables included with gaming mice.
This mouse comes without any feet installed but has a large and small set included in the box.
For our testing, we installed the larger set. The feet glide very smoothly across mousepads and desks with minimal resistance.
- USB-A to USB-C cable
- USB-A Wireless receiver
- Set of large mouse feet
- Set of small mouse feet

You can reprogram the left and right click buttons, the scroll click, and both side buttons, but the left click must always be bound to a button.
The Hitscan Hyperlight has incredibly low and mostly consistent click latency, providing an extremely responsive-feeling experience for playing games in any genre and at any competitive level.
We conducted this test at the maximum wireless polling rate of 1000Hz, with High Performance mode on, and a 0 ms debounce time.
We also collected supplementary results using Hitscan's separately purchased 8k receiver. The averaged results show 4000Hz marginally ahead of the 8000Hz results by 0.1 ms, but this small gap is best understood as statistical noise within expected testing variation rather than a real performance difference.
- 4000Hz: 1.2 ms
- 8000Hz: 1.3 ms
This mouse has superb CPI performance. It delivers extremely good tracking accuracy, interpreting the physical movements you make with your mouse closely to your cursor movements on-screen.
This mouse offers excellent sensor latency. The sensor quickly reacts when you move your mouse, and these movements closely match the timing of the cursor movements you see on the screen.
We conducted this test at its maximum out-of-the-box polling rate of 1000Hz, with Motion Sync disabled, and with High Performance and Long Distance modes enabled. These modes improve latency by a small degree but drain the battery faster. For reference, you can compare our originally published results with Long Distance mode disabled.
We also collected supplementary measurements using Hitscan's separately purchased 8K receiver, tested with the same optimized settings at the following polling rates:
The available polling rate options are 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz.
If you buy Hitscan's 8k dongle separately, additional options include 2000Hz, 4000Hz, and 8000Hz.
Hitscan advertises that this mouse's sensor is slightly forward-positioned. Ultimately, this is a matter of preference, but many people prefer the sensor position to align with where you place your thumb on the sides of the mouse.
Using the software, you can toggle additional sensor settings, including Motion Sync. For more details, see the Configuration Software section.
If you're looking for a mouse that supports an 8000Hz polling rate out of the box, check out the MCHOSE L7 Pro.
The mouse wheel feels precise and has satisfying, well-defined tactile steps, but it leans a bit on the louder side. It's made of plastic with a finely textured rubber coating for added grip.
You can actuate the side button by pushing sideways into the wheel from the left, a feature some people appreciate as it can make actuating the scroll button easier without impacting preferred finger placement.
The main buttons are fairly quiet, but the scroll wheel and side buttons are a bit louder.
The software is simple but allows you to adjust expected options, including lift-off distance and button programming. More advanced settings include debounce time, sleep settings, and the option to enable High Performance and Long Distance modes.
The software also allows you to toggle Motion Sync, a feature that attempts to synchronize sensor data with USB polling events. It can make on-screen motion feel slightly smoother, though it adds a small amount of latency (typically around 1 ms). We recommend experimenting with it both on and off and choosing whichever option feels best to you—feel free to leave it off if you don't notice a difference.
