The LAMZU THORN is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a right-handed shape. Its low weight is partly thanks to its lattice-like baseplate, which exposes the inside of the mouse. It uses PixArt's flagship PAW 3395 sensor and optical switches for its left- and right-click buttons. It supports a 1000Hz polling rate out of the box, but you can buy either a 4K or 8K dongle from LAMZU to increase the maximum wireless polling rate to 4000Hz or 8000Hz, respectively.
Our Verdict
The LAMZU THORN is okay for work use despite not being designed for it. It has a comfortable right-handed shape suitable for most hand sizes and has good build quality overall. Unfortunately, it doesn't support Bluetooth, and you can only connect it to one device at a time. Also, its scroll wheel lacks a free-scrolling mode and L/R tilt inputs.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The LAMZU THORN is available in Charcoal Black and White colorways. There is also a special edition called the Fnatic x LAMZU THORN, which is a collaboration with Fnatic. That version is orange, has the Fnatic logo on the palm rest, and includes LAMZU's 4000Hz compatible receiver, which is normally sold separately. Otherwise, it's the same as the normal versions. You can see the product page for this variant on Fnatic's website here.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The LAMZU THORN is an exceptionally lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a right-handed shape. It's the first right-handed mouse from LAMZU, and while subtle, its shape is notably different from other lightweight, right-handed gaming mice like the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro and the Pwnage StormBreaker. Its hump is placed relatively far back and is quite pronounced, making it well-suited for both palm and claw grips. You can purchase a separate 4K or 8K Dongle from LAMZU that increases its maximum polling rate to 4000Hz or 8000Hz, respectively. Even at its native polling rate of 1000Hz, this mouse's gaming performance rivals more premium options like the Pwnage StormBreaker and the Razer.

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.
The LAMZU Atlantis and the LAMZU THORN are lightweight wireless gaming mice. The Atlantis has a lower profile and a symmetrical shape and is available in more colors than the THORN. The THORN has a right-handed design and has slightly better sensor performance than the Atlantis. The THORN also uses optical switches for its left- and right-clicks instead of the mechanical ones on the Atlantis.
The Pulsar Xlite V3 and the LAMZU THORN are high-performance, lightweight, wireless gaming mice. They have similar right-handed shapes, but the Pulsar is slightly bigger, and its hump is more centered, while the LAMZU's is further toward the back of the mouse. The two mice have similar performance, but the LAMZU is slightly lighter. The Pulsar also has much better build quality.
The Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro and the LAMZU THORN are both lightweight wireless gaming mice with right-handed ergo shapes. The Razer is a little larger and best suited for bigger hands, while the LAMZU's slightly slimmer and shorter body works well for both palm and claw grips. Performance is excellent on both, but Razer includes an 8k-capable dongle in the box, whereas you need to buy one separately for the LAMZU. Razer also equips smoother-gliding feet and an optical scroll encoder that should improve scroll wheel durability compared to LAMZU's standard mechanical encoder. In software, Razer offers extra software tools like Dynamic Sensitivity and Sensor Rotation, which the LAMZU lacks.
