The MCHOSE L7 Ultra is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse positioned as the highest-performing model in their wider L7 series. It has a small, symmetrical shape with relatively flat sides, and a medium-sized hump towards the rear, making it well-suited for a claw or fingertip grip. This mouse uses Omron optical switches and a flagship PixArt PAW3950 sensor. You can also adjust various preferences and performance settings using MCHOSE's web-based software.
For a comparison between other models in the L7 series, see the Differences Between Variants section.
Our Verdict
The MCHOSE L7 Ultra is a decent mouse for work, despite being primarily designed as a gaming mouse. It has good overall build quality, despite some minor issues, and it connects wirelessly with either its 2.4GHz receiver or Bluetooth. You can also remap buttons, program macros, and adjust performance settings to optimize battery usage using the web-based or downloadable companion software. Unfortunately, it lacks useful productivity features like a free scrolling mode and L/R scroll wheel inputs.

Minor build quality issues: some mushy post-travel in the switches, and noticeable flex in the shell when pressed from the top.
Scroll wheel lacks productivity features like free-scrolling and L/R tilt inputs.
The MCHOSE L7 Ultra is outstanding for playing FPS games. It's extremely lightweight, making it easy to move around quickly and accurately. Its small symmetrical shape is well-suited for claw and fingertip grips if you have small or medium-sized hands. Performance-wise, it supports a wired or wireless polling rate of 8000Hz and offers exceptionally low click and sensor latency, ideally suited for competitive play. That said, while the overall build quality is solid, it does suffer from some minor issues, including slightly mushy-feeling post-travel in the switches and a noticeably thin plastic shell that flexes under moderate pressure on the top of the mouse.
Extremely lightweight.
Exceptional raw performance.

There are larger versions of both the L7 Pro and L7 Ultra called the L7 Pro+ and L7 Ultra+, which use the same internals as their smaller counterparts. Aside from their size differences and weight, our reviews of the L7 Pro and L7 Ultra apply to these larger models as well. The L7 Pro Ultra+ is also available in a Rose Red colorway that appears to be exclusive to that size model alone.
MCHOSE's website has a table comparing the differences between each model in the L7 series, including dimensions for the larger models.
Popular Mouse Comparisons
The MCHOSE L7 Ultra is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a small, symmetrical body and a rearward hump. Its shape is somewhat similar to the Pulsar X2V2 and LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K, and it's best suited for claw or fingertip grips with medium or smaller-sized hands. As the top-performing model in the MCHOSE L7 series, the L7 Ultra offers exceptional raw performance for its price and slightly edges out the MCHOSE L7 Pro, which we've already reviewed and found impressive in its own right. Ultimately, it's an outstanding budget pick if you're after top-tier performance specs for competitive gaming. However, it falls short in build quality, features lower-grade mouse feet that don't glide as smoothly, and comes with a relatively short 1-year warranty compared to pricier flagships from more established brands like the Razer Viper V3 Pro or Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2.

Both the MCHOSE L7 Ultra and the Scyrox V8 are lightweight, wireless gaming mice with exceptional gaming performance for competitive gaming. The Scyrox has a hump that's a bit higher and more centered. It's generally a versatile shape suitable for all grip types, compared to the MCHOSE which has a smaller hump closer to the rear, which makes it best-suited for a claw or fingertip grip. The Scyrox also has better build quality and mouse feet. Conversely, the MCHOSE has marginally better raw gaming performance and has added Bluetooth connectivity, which the Scyrox doesn't support.
The MCHOSE L7 Pro and the MCHOSE L7 Ultra are lightweight gaming mouse in the same lineup. They share the same size and shape but have some minor hardware and performance differences. The L7 Ultra has a larger batttery capacity and uses a slightly newer PAW3950 sensor which helps contribute to its slightly better raw performance.
The MCHOSE L7 Ultra and the Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2 are gaming mice with very similar symmetrical shapes and exceptionally good click and sensor latency performance. The MCHOSE is a wireless model, while the Endgame Gear is a wired-only model. The Endgame is also noteworthy for its Kailh GX switches, which have a unique single-pole double-throw design that produces slightly lower latency. It also has better build quality and supports hot-swappable switch packs sold separately by Endgame Gear.
The Pulsar X2 CrazyLight and MCHOSE L7 Ultra are lightweight wireless mice with virtually the same shape. Both perform exceptionally well, but the Pulsar is slightly smaller, with sturdier build quality and higher-grade pure PTFE feet that glide more smoothly on pads and desks. Its main drawback is the open baseplate, which helps reduce weight but leaves the interior exposed to dust and debris. By comparison, the MCHOSE is larger and slightly heavier. Unfortunately, it has lower-quality dyed PTFE feet that glide less smoothly and minor build issues, including slightly mushy primary clicks and some shell flex.
Test Results
The MCHOSE L7 Ultra has straightforward, minimal styling. It doesn't have any RGB lighting or other elements that make it stand out, but 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 colorways are also available.
Note that there's a larger-sized version of this mouse with the same internal components called the MCHOSE L7 Ultra+. For more details, see the Differences Between Variants section.
The MCHOSE L7 Ultra has good overall build quality. Its body is made of solid plastic with a matte finish. The surface may feel a bit slippery when your hands are dry, but it generally becomes grippier with light perspiration during gameplay, although this can vary depending on your skin chemistry.
While the mouse feels quite sturdy and has impressive fit and finish, the plastic body is thin and noticeably flexes if you apply a moderate amount of pressure to the top. For reference, you can see this issue demonstrated in a video of the MCHOSE L7 Pro, which exhibits the same behavior.
That said, the buttons feel lightweight and provide good tactile feedback, though there's a bit of noticeable post-travel, which can make them feel slightly mushy on bottoming out.
Lastly, the mouse uses PTFE feet with a black dye additive, which glide less smoothly than the white or dull grey virgin-grade PTFE used in higher-end feet. See the Mouse Feet section for more details.
If you're looking for a mouse with better build quality, check out the Vaxee XE v2 Wireless (4K).
This mouse is slightly heavier than its MCHOSE L7 Pro counterpart despite sharing the same shape. This weight difference is largely due to the larger battery capacity of the MCHOSE L7 Ultra.
If you're interested in a mouse that shares the same shape but is even lighter, check out the Pulsar X2 CrazyLight.
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 4K, 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 claw or fingertip grips for small and medium-sized hands.
If you have larger hands, there's a scaled-up version of this mouse called the MCHOSE L7 Ultra+. See the Differences Between Variants for more details.
For a larger alternative designed primarily for a relaxed claw grip, check out the Pulsar TenZ Signature Edition.
This mouse features a 500mAh battery, which is twice the capacity of the battery in the MCHOSE L7 Pro. Disappointingly, MCHOSE doesn't provide an official battery life estimate. Based on the performance of similar mice, we expect at least 80 hours of use at 1000Hz, though actual battery life will be significantly lower if you're using more demanding settings, like 8000Hz polling and Extreme Performance Mode enabled in the software.
Some users online report battery life in the range of 10–20 hours with these optimal settings, which isn't unusual for 8k-capable mice with optical switches, as both factors contribute to higher power draw.
If you've used this mouse and have insights into its battery life, we encourage you to share your experience in the comments section at the end of this review.
This mouse comes with a thick and fairly heavyweight USB-C to USB-A paracord-like cable. It has a high-quality feel and glides fairly well across desks and mousepads. That said, it's a bit heavy and drags slightly more across surfaces compared to mice with more lightweight cables.
The MCHOSE L7 Ultra has PTFE feet with black-dye additive. They glide reasonably well but aren't as smooth as undyed virgin-grade PTFE feet.

If you like the shape of this mouse and want a wired alternative that supports hot-swappable aftermarket switch packs for its main buttons, check out the Endgame Gear OP1 8k v2. It offers exceptional raw performance and a very similar shape, but keep in mind that it's wired-only.
You can reprogram the left- and right-click buttons, the scroll click, and both side buttons. There's also a non-programmable DPI button on the underside of the mouse.
The MCHOSE L7 Ultra delivers superb click latency performance, providing an exceptionally responsive and consistent experience for gaming in any genre, at any competitive level.
We conducted this test with the lowest debounce setting of 0 ms, Game Safe Mode off, and with the Extreme Performance Mode performance setting enabled, which prioritizes gaming performance at the cost of added battery consumption.
Adjusting the polling rate has no measurable effect on click latency, but switching to Performance Mode (which prioritizes battery efficiency over responsiveness) does result in a small increase. With this setting enabled, we measured a latency of 4.6 ms over a wired connection at 8000Hz.
This mouse's sensor reliably tracks your movements exceptionally well with virtually no speed variation.
Note that there’s a discrepancy in CPI adjustment steps depending on which version of the software you're using. The downloadable software client allows adjustments in increments of 50 CPI, while the web-based software client supports adjustments in 1-CPI increments.
This mouse has exceptionally good sensor latency performance, making it well-suited for gaming at any competitive level.
The above results are using optimized settings, with 8000Hz polling and Extreme Performance Mode enabled in the software, which prioritizes gaming performance at the cost of higher battery consumption.
For comparison, we've performed supplementary testing using various settings and polling rates.
This mouse's polling rate options are 125Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz, and 8000Hz. It supports the same range of polling rates, both wired and wireless.
The software allows you to adjust additional sensor settings, including Motion Sync and other performance settings. For more details, see the Configuration Software section.
This mouse’s scroll wheel has a grippy, grooved rubber coating. Scrolling feels precise and is quiet. The middle actuates without much force and provides crisp, tactile feedback.
The left- and right-click buttons, side buttons, and scroll wheel operate relatively quietly. They aren't likely to bother those around you.
This mouse's software is available on MCHOSE's website as either a downloadable or web-based client. The video above is a walkthrough of the web-based version, which you can access through Chromium-based browsers on both Windows and macOS. Note that the downloadable version is only compatible with Windows.
The software is fairly straightforward, with settings organized across several tabs. It lets you adjust common mouse settings as well as more advanced options. Some of these advanced settings include debounce time, sleep timers, and three performance modes that prioritize battery life or gaming performance to varying degrees.
You can also toggle Motion Sync, a setting that attempts to synchronize sensor data with USB polling events. This can make on-screen motion feel more consistent. We recommend trying this setting to see whether you prefer the feel with or without it, and use whichever option feels right to you. For details about the effect of this setting on performance, see the Sensor Latency section.
