The MCHOSE L7 Pro is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse. It has a small symmetrical shape, with a medium-sized hump that's positioned towards the rear of the solid plastic body. It features Omron Optical switches, a PixArt PAW3395 sensor, and a Realtek RTL8762GKH MCU. It supports a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz both wired and wirelessly using the included 2.5GHz receiver. You can also pair it using Bluetooth.
Our Verdict
The MCHOSE L7 Pro is a decent mouse for work, despite being primarily designed as a gaming mouse. It has good build quality overall, and you can remap its buttons to your liking using its web-based or downloadable companion software. You can connect to it wirelessly using a USB receiver or using Bluetooth. That said, it lacks useful productivity features like a free scrolling mode and L/R scroll wheel inputs.

Compared To Other Mice
The MCHOSE L7 Pro is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a symmetrical shape and a solid plastic body. It's a small mouse with a medium-sized middle hump that's placed towards the rear. Its overall shape is very similar to the Pulsar X2V2 and the LAMZU Atlantis Mini, making it accommodating for claw and fingertip grips for most hand sizes. Performance-wise, it's fantastic, delivering raw performance and latency numbers that rival top performers like the Razer Viper V3 Pro and the like, despite its much lower price. That said, it does fall slightly short of the Razer and other flagships in terms of build quality and mouse feet. This mouse enters a crowded space of 'flagship killer' lightweight gaming mice like the Scyrox V6, Scyrox V8, and Hitscan Hyperlight. These are all excellent options, and worth buying if you'd like to save some money over the more expensive flagship models.
For more recommendations, see our picks for the best FPS mouse, the best claw grip mouse, and the best lightweight mouse.
The Scyrox V6 and the MCHOSE L7 Pro are lightweight wireless gaming mice. The Scyrox has a higher profile shape with a centered middle hump, while the MCHOSE has a lower profile hump placed closer to the rear. This makes it better suited for a slightly more aggressive claw grip, or even fingertip, but the Scyrox has a more versatile shape overall. Beyond shape differences, the Scyrox has a slightly more solid-feeling build and better mouse feet, but both mice have similar fantastic raw performance. Additionally, the MCHOSE supports Bluetooth.
The Hitscan Hyperlight and the MCHOSE L7 Pro are lightweight wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. The two are similar in size, but the Hitscan has a higher profile center hump compared to the MCHOSE's rearward hump. Despite weight-saving cutouts in the bottom plate, the Hitscan has slightly better build quality than the MCHOSE. Both mice deliver fantastic gaming performance, but the MCHOSE has Bluetooth connectivity for added convenience.
The Pulsar X2V2 and the MCHOSE L7 Pro are lightweight wireless gaming mice with nearly identical shapes, but the MCHOSE is smaller and lighter overall. It also has a fully enclosed body, whereas the Pulsar has an open bottom plate design. The two deliver similar raw performance, but the MCHOSE supports an 8000Hz polling rate out of the box. Otherwise, the Pulsar has better build quality and better mouse skates.
The Ninjutso Sora V2 and the MCHOSE L7 Pro are lightweight wireless gaming mice with similar symmetrical shapes. The Ninjutso is very slightly bigger and more suitable for a wider range of hand sizes, while the MCHOSE's smaller shape is better for smaller hands. The Ninjutso has better build quality and mouse feet. They deliver similar fantastic raw performance suitable for any genre, but the MCHOSE additionally supports Bluetooth.
Test Results
The MCHOSE L7 Pro has modern, generic styling. It doesn't have any RGB lighting or frills that make it stand out. There's an MCHOSE logo near the rear of the mouse on the palm rest.
We bought and tested the white colorway, but Black and Blue color variants are also available.
The MCHOSE L7 Pro has good build quality overall. It's made of solid plastic with a matte 'Premium SuperGlide High-Performance Glass Coating'. It feels somewhat slippery when your hands are dry, but grips well once they start to perspire.
While the mouse feels generally solid and well-built, its plastic shell is quite thin, and flexes considerably when you apply intentional force. You can even actuate both main click buttons if you press hard enough into the top shell. See a video of it here.
The buttons are all fairly light and feel good to press, but there's a bit of post-travel to the main click buttons, making them feel slightly mushy.
Lastly, this mouse has black PTFE feet, rather than the white 'virgin grade PTFE' that generally glides better.
This mouse's symmetrical shape is quite similar to several recent popular mice. It's nearly identical to the Pulsar X2V2, but slightly smaller in every dimension. Compared to the LAMZU Atlantis Mini, it's also very similar, but it has more curvature at the front where the main click buttons are. Its rear hump is towards the back of the mouse and it has fairly flat sides. Its shape is well-suited for fingertip or claw grips, ideally for smaller- or medium-sized hands.
This mouse has a 250 mAh battery. MCHOSE doesn't advertise a battery life figure. Based on mice we've seen with similar battery sizes, we'd estimate a 70-80-hour battery life at 1000Hz. This would increase at a lower polling rate or using Bluetooth, or decrease at higher polling rates like 4000Hz or 8000Hz.
If you have this mouse and want to share your experience with the battery life, leave a comment below.
This mouse comes with a thick USB-C to USB-A paracord-like cable. It feels high-quality and glides smoothly across desks and mousepads, but it's heavy and has more resistance across surfaces than other mice with more lightweight cables.
This mouse uses black-dyed PTFE feet that glide well across most surfaces. However, they aren't as smooth as top-tier, virgin-grade PTFE feet found on mice like the Razer Viper V3 Pro or the Ninjutso Sora V2.

You can reprogram the left and right click buttons, the scroll click, and both side buttons. There's a non-programmable DPI button on the underside of the mouse.
The MCHOSE L7 Pro has incredibly low and consistent click latency, providing an extremely responsive-feeling experience for playing games in any genre and at any competitive level.
We tested it at its maximum wireless polling rate of 8000Hz with 'E-Sports Mode' on and at its lowest debounce setting.
Note that changing the polling rate doesn't impact the click latency.
This mouse's sensor exhibits no problematic variation or tracking accuracy issues.
This mouse has fantastic sensor latency performance suitable for gaming at any competitive level.
We achieved the above results at a wireless polling rate of 8000Hz with 'E-sports mode' on and motion sync turned off.
The table below shows the results of supplementary testing we conducted at different polling rates.
| Connection Type | Polling Rate | Delay to Start of Movement | Delay at Half Movement | Delay to End of Movement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wired | 1000Hz | 11.0 ms | 2.2 ms | 3.7 ms |
| 4000Hz | 10.8 ms | 1.9 ms | 3.4 ms | |
| 8000Hz | 11.5 ms | 1.9 ms | 3.7 ms | |
| Wireless | 1000Hz | 11.8 ms | 3.6 ms | 5.3 ms |
| 4000Hz | 11.4 ms | 2.2 ms | 4.0 ms | |
| 8000Hz + E-sports mode off | 18.9 ms | 2.5 ms | 4.1 ms |
This mouse's polling rate options are 125Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz, and 8000Hz. Notably, it supports the same range of polling rates both wired and wirelessly.
The companion software lets you adjust additional sensor settings, including Motion Sync. For more details, see the Configuration Software section.
This mouse's scroll wheel feels precise and operates quietly with a rather light actuation force. It's made of plastic and has a grippy, grooved rubber coating.
All of this mouse's buttons and its scroll wheel operate quietly and aren't likely to bother those around you.
This mouse's software is straightforward and easy to use. With it, you can adjust various expected mouse settings, like button remapping and lift-off distance. You can also change more advanced settings like debounce time, sleep timers, 'E-Sports mode', and motion sync.
The above video is a walkthrough of the downloadable software, but there's also a web-based version that offers similar functionality, and you can also use it on macOS.
