The Vegcoo C18 is an overall bad wireless gaming mouse. Its performance is mediocre, with a CPI setting stuck at 1400, a very high lift off distance, and a low 250Hz, non-customizable polling rate. Its wireless range is also very short, which greatly affects performance. The mouse wheel is wobbly and scratches on the right-click button. This RGB mouse also doesn't have any dedicated software and feels very cheap. The only good part of this mouse is its low click latency. Even at such an affordable price point, this mouse is a poor choice.

Our Verdict

0.0
Office/Multimedia 

Sub-par for office. The Vegcoo C18 is a very bad mouse with mediocre performance and a very short wireless range. It's cheaply made and you can't modify its CPI or program any of its buttons.

Pros
  • Wireless design with built-in receiver storage.
  • Low click latency.
Cons
  • Extremely cheap plastic build.
  • Mediocre performance.
  • Scratches the surface it's gliding on.
  • Loose scroll wheel.

Video Games (FPS) 

Sub-par for video games. Although the Vegcoo's click latency is fairly low, this mouse is on the heavier side and its performance is mediocre. It's also very cheap and its performance is highly dependent on being in the very short range of its receiver.

Pros
  • Wireless design with built-in receiver storage.
  • Low click latency.
Cons
  • Extremely cheap plastic build.
  • Mediocre performance.
  • Scratches the surface it's gliding on.
  • Loose scroll wheel.

Video Games (MMO) 

Bad for MMO games. You can't program any of the Vegcoo C18's buttons, which are limited to begin with. This mouse also feels very cheap and its performance is mediocre. There are better dedicated MMO mice available.

Pros
  • Wireless design with built-in receiver storage.
  • Low click latency.
Cons
  • Extremely cheap plastic build.
  • Mediocre performance.
  • Scratches the surface it's gliding on.
  • Loose scroll wheel.
0.0
Ultra-Light Gaming 

Sub-par for ultra-light gaming. The Vegcoo is slightly heavy, and there's no way of reducing its weight. It isn't designed as an ultra-light gaming mouse and its performance is mediocre.

Pros
  • Wireless design with built-in receiver storage.
  • Low click latency.
Cons
  • Extremely cheap plastic build.
  • Mediocre performance.
  • Scratches the surface it's gliding on.
  • Loose scroll wheel.

Travel 

Decent for traveling. The Vegcoo is fairly portable since you can put its receiver inside the mouse's body to use wirelessly. However, it has mediocre performance and there are better options than this cheap mouse.

Pros
  • Wireless design with built-in receiver storage.
  • Low click latency.
Cons
  • Extremely cheap plastic build.
  • Mediocre performance.
  • Scratches the surface it's gliding on.
  • Loose scroll wheel.

    The Vegcoo C18 is a very cheap wireless mouse that offers poor overall performance. It's also very hard to find it online. This mouse model seems to be made by various manufacturers. Our box says C18, while the mouse model is called the Q18 on the bottom side of the mouse. This is a very bad wireless gaming mouse and there are way better options available. See our recommendations for the best mice, the best gaming mice, and the best wireless gaming mice.

    Anker Gaming Mouse

    Track

    The Anker Gaming Mouse is better than the Vegcoo C18. Its performance is better, more consistent, and it's also lighter. It has access to dedicated software to customize its performance and reprogram its buttons. The Vegcoo is overall bad, and the Anker is a better budget option.

    Havit HV-MS760

    Track

    The Havit HV-MS760 is better than the Vegcoo C18. Although both are cheap mice, the Havit has better overall performance and a noticeably better build quality. The Havit also has swappable button panels and has access to dedicated software for customization options. There's no reason to get the Vegcoo over the Havit.

    Redragon M908

    Track

    The Redragon M908 is a better gaming mouse than the Vegcoo C18. The Redragon has better and customizable performance and is noticeably better-built. The Vegcoo is wireless but is one of the worst mice we've tested and is not worth getting.

    Anker High Precision Gaming Mouse

    Track

    The Anker High Precision Gaming Mouse is noticeably better than the Vegcoo C18. The Anker mouse has better performance, is well-built, and feels better in hand. Although the Vegcoo is wireless, it has poor performance and unreliable connection. The Anker mouse is a better option.
