The Ninjutso Sora V2 is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse and the successor to the Ninjutso Sora. It has a solid symmetrical shape similar to its predecessor and is now even lighter. It still sports PixArt's flagship PAW3395 sensor but now uses Omron optical switches for its left- and right-click buttons. Ninjutso has stated that the mouse will support a maximum wireless polling rate of 8000Hz with the purchase of an additional dongle, but it's not available for sale at the time of writing.

Our Verdict

0.0
Work 

Despite being designed for gaming, the Ninjutso Sora V2 is a decent mouse for work. It has excellent build quality and an accommodating symmetrical shape. Its convenient, if basic, web-based companion software allows you to reprogram its buttons and assign macros. That said, its scroll wheel lacks a free scrolling mode and L/R tilt inputs, and you can only pair the mouse to one device at a time.

Pros
  • Impressive build quality.
  • Accommodating symmetrical shape.
Cons
  • Scroll wheel lacks free-scrolling and L/R tilt inputs.
  • No Bluetooth connectivity or multi-device pairing.

It also has excellent build quality, which is impressive for a mouse that's this lightweight. It also provides outstanding overall sensor performance with remarkably low sensor and click latency, delivering a gaming experience suitable for casual or competitive gamers.

Pros
  • Outstanding sensor latency and precision.
  • Remarkable click latency.
  • Incredibly lightweight.
  • Impressive build quality.
  • Accommodating symmetrical shape.
Cons
  • Only supports polling rates over 1000Hz with the purchase of an additional wireless receiver.

Video Games (MMO) 

The Ninjutso Sora V2 is a good mouse for MMO and MOBA gaming. It's not designed explicitly for this use, as it doesn't have nearly as many side buttons as dedicated MMO mice. It has a comfortable, symmetrical shape and outstanding overall sensor performance.

Pros
  • Remarkable click latency.
  • Impressive build quality.
  • Accommodating symmetrical shape.
Cons
  • Only supports polling rates over 1000Hz with the purchase of an additional wireless receiver.
  • Has fewer side buttons than dedicated MMO mice.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The Ninjutso Sora V2 is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse that succeeds the original Ninjutso Sora. It continues its ethos of using solid plastic construction to achieve its low weight instead of honeycombed designs more commonly found in mice of this weight class. Its shape is largely the same as its predecessor, with minor changes like comfort grooves on the main click buttons and a slightly shorter overall shape. It uses the same sensor but now supports a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz with the purchase of an additional wireless receiver.

    Its performance rivals flagship gaming mice from more prominent brands, like the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 and the Razer Viper V3 Pro, making it an especially valid option considering its lower price point.

    For more recommendations, see our picks for the best FPS mouse, the best gaming mouse, and the best lightweight mouse.

    Razer Viper V3 Pro

    Track

    The Ninjutso Sora V2 and the Razer Viper V3 Pro are lightweight, high-performance wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. They both provide outstanding performance overall, but the Razer has better click latency and a higher native polling rate of 8000Hz. On the other hand, the Ninjutso is significantly lighter.

    LAMZU MAYA X

    Track

    The Ninjutso Sora V2 and the LAMZU MAYA X are lightweight wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. The Ninjutso is slightly smaller and has a hump that's further towards the rear, making it better suited for claw grip. The LAMZU has a more accommodating shape that's suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes. The two have similar performance, but the LAMZU supports an 8000Hz polling rate out of the box.

    Scyrox V8

    Track

    The Ninjutso Sora V2 and the Scyrox V8 are ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mice. They have similar shapes with aggressive rear humps that are ideal for claw grip, but the Ninjutso is slightly wider at the top and has more pronounced comfort grooves. These subtle changes make it slightly better for users with larger hands than the Scyrox. They deliver similar raw performance, but the Scyrox has an 8000Hz polling rate out of the box, whereas you have to buy a separate dongle for 8000Hz support on the Ninjutso.

    Ninjutso Sora

    Track

    The Ninjutso Sora V2 is the successor to the Ninjutso Sora. They're lightweight, wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. The V2 is marginally shorter than the V1 and has comfort grooves on the main click buttons. It's also lighter and better built and supports a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz with the purchase of an additional dongle, which has yet to come on sale at the time of writing. Performance-wise, the V2 has significantly better click latency, sensor latency, and mouse feet.
