The LAMZU MAYA is a lightweight, wireless gaming mouse. It has a symmetrical shape with relatively straight sides and a low, centered hump. Like other recent LAMZU releases, it has a solid plastic body with a smooth plastic finish and a weight-saving, open plastic frame on the underside instead of a more conventional solid baseplate. It uses PixArt's flagship 3395 sensor and supports a maximum wireless polling rate of 1000Hz out of the box, 4000Hz with the purchase of LAMZU's 4K dongle, or 8000Hz with the purchase of LAMZU's 8K dongle.
There are other models in the MAYA lineup, including a larger size and different colorways. For more information, see the Differences Between Variants section. We bought and tested the standard model.
Our Verdict
The LAMZU MAYA is decent for work despite not being designed specifically for this use. It has excellent overall build quality, and you can easily remap buttons using the companion software. It connects wirelessly with its USB receiver but doesn't support Bluetooth connectivity or multi-device pairing. Also, its scroll wheel lacks a free scrolling mode and L/R tilt inputs.
- Excellent build quality.
- Symmetrical shape is well-suited for palm, claw, or fingertip grip types for most hand sizes.
- No Bluetooth connectivity.
- Scroll wheel lacks free-scrolling and L/R tilt inputs.
- Framework baseplate design is lightweight but leaves the inside more open to collecting dust and debris.
The LAMZU MAYA is outstanding for FPS gaming. It's extremely lightweight, making it easy to move quickly and accurately. It also delivers superb raw performance, with remarkable click latency and amazing all-around sensor performance. Its symmetrical shape is comfortable and accommodating to all grip types, and it has excellent overall build quality with mouse feet that glide very smoothly on mousepads and desks.
- Excellent build quality.
- Extremely lightweight.
- Remarkable raw gaming performance.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The LAMZU MAYA is part of a wider lineup of gaming mice with the same shape. Some variants, like the MAYA we tested, have the older PixArt 3395 sensor and mechanical switches. Newer models, like the LAMZU MAYA X that we tested in a separate review, use the newer PixArt 3950 sensor and optical switches.
The performance differences between the models that use the 3950 and 3395 sensors are marginal and not noticeable. Models that use Omron Optical switches won't suffer from double-clicking issues as they age, which is a possibility for mice using mechanical switches.
We bought the white color option of the LAMZU MAYA Gaming Mouse (4K Compatible), which, despite its name, is compatible with LAMZU's 8K dongle for a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. We bought the 8K dongle and performed additional testing with it.

Here's our unit's label. However, the label is on a panel inside the mouse and partially obscured through the plastic framework on the bottom of the mouse. Here's an alternate angle. For reference, the serial number listed on our unit is SEIKI201 94V-0 E307365 4823.
Popular Mouse Comparisons
The LAMZU MAYA is an extremely lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a symmetrical shape. In terms of its look, weight, and performance, it's very similar to other recent LAMZU releases, like the LAMZU Atlantis lineup and the LAMZU THORN. Where the full-size LAMZU Atlantis and LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K are best suited for a claw grip and the THORN a palm grip, the MAYA is a bit more flexible and equally accommodating for a palm, claw, or fingertip grip. Size-wise, the MAYA is also noticeably smaller than the full-size Atlantis. It's roughly the same size overall as the Atlantis-Mini but may feel a bit larger in hand with its straighter sides and more forward central hump.
Altogether, this mouse is another competitive choice among a growing, higher-end array of very lightweight, symmetrically shaped, and high polling rate compatible FPS mice on the market. While it doesn't stand out from the pack on its feature set or performance alone, it's a compelling option, particularly if you have medium-sized or smaller hands and appreciate a more versatile shape that doesn't lean as aggressively into any particular grip type.

The LAMZU MAYA X and the LAMZU MAYA are lightweight wireless gaming mice with the same symmetrical shape. The MAYA X is bigger, has optical switches instead of mechanical ones, uses a newer sensor, and supports an 8000Hz polling rate out of the box. That said, they both have a top-tier performance that's nearly identical.
The LAMZU Atlantis and the LAMZU MAYA are both lightweight, wireless gaming mice. The Atlantis is bigger with a more rearward hump and more aggressive curves. It's best suited for a claw grip. The MAYA is lighter and smaller and has a lower central hump. Its shape is more versatile and accommodating for palm, claw, or fingertip grip types.
The LAMZU MAYA and LAMZU Inca are small, lightweight wireless gaming mice designed for competitive play. The MAYA has a slightly less aggressive hump, and while both shapes are well-suited for claw grip, the MAYA is more accommodating to a somewhat wider range of hand sizes and grip types. The Inca is noticeably narrower, with a taller and more aggressive rear hump. The Inca includes a receiver that supports a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz out of the box, while the MAYA is available in several variants, some of which only include receivers limited to 1000Hz or 4000Hz.
The LAMZU THORN and the LAMZU MAYA are both lightweight, wireless gaming mice with similar raw gaming performance. The major difference is shape. The THORN has a larger, 'ergo' right-handed shape with a prominent central hump and is best suited for a palm or claw grip for medium and larger-sized hands. The MAYA, on the other hand, has a much smaller, symmetrical shape with comparatively flatter sides and a lower central hump. It's a more versatile shape that accommodates all grip types. The THORN also has optical left- and right-click switches, while the MAYA has mechanical switches.
