The WLmouse Beast X is an ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mouse. It has a magnesium alloy exoskeleton body with a symmetrical shape and uses PixArt's flagship 3395 sensor, supporting a 4000Hz maximum polling rate. It also comes with alternate PTFE and glass mouse feet options, and its included cube-shaped wireless receiver has added RGB lighting and an LCD screen that displays the time, the mouse's battery life, and your chosen CPI and polling rate settings.
There's a smaller variant of this mouse called the WLmouse Beast X Mini. For more details, see the Differences Between Variants section below.
Our Verdict
The WLmouse Beast X is decent for work but isn't designed specifically for this usage. It feels sturdy and exceptionally lightweight but lacks Bluetooth connectivity and multi-device pairing. Its scroll wheel also lacks useful productivity features like tilt inputs and free-scrolling.
- Excellent build quality.
- No Bluetooth connectivity.
- Scroll wheel lacks productivity features like tilt inputs and free-scrolling.
The WLmouse Beast X is a fantastic FPS gaming mouse. Its magnesium alloy body makes it exceptionally lightweight and easy to move quickly and accurately. Performance-wise, it has remarkably low and consistent click latency and outstanding sensor latency and accuracy, providing all-around performance that's more than suitable for gaming at any competitive level. Unfortunately, its scroll wheel is a minor weak spot as it's made of plastic and feels a bit cheap compared to the rest of the construction. It also takes very little force to actuate the middle mouse button, which some people may appreciate, but it may result in accidental inputs if you're used to heavier scroll wheel buttons.
- Excellent build quality.
- Exceptionally lightweight.
- Remarkably low and consistent click latency.
- Outstanding all-around sensor performance.
- Supports a maximum wireless polling rate of 4000Hz.
- Scroll wheel doesn't feel as high quality as the rest of the construction, and the scroll click's lightweight actuation may result in unintentional inputs for some.
While it isn't designed specifically for this usage, the WLmouse Beast X is very good for MMO gaming overall. However, it doesn't have nearly as many side buttons as dedicated MMO gaming mice. Additionally, its scroll wheel is made of plastic and feels cheaper than the rest of the mouse. The scroll click also takes only minimal force to actuate, which some people may appreciate but may result in accidental inputs if you're used to heavier middle mouse click buttons. That being said, it has excellent overall build quality, and its lightweight magnesium alloy body feels very sturdy. It also provides remarkably low and consistent click latency and outstanding sensor performance.
- Excellent build quality.
- Remarkably low and consistent click latency.
- Outstanding all-around sensor performance.
- Doesn't have nearly as many programmable side buttons as a dedicated MMO gaming mouse.
- Scroll wheel doesn't feel as high quality as the rest of the construction, and the scroll click's lightweight actuation may result in unintentional inputs for some.
The WLmouse Beast X offers exceptional raw performance, making it more than suitable for playing games in any genre at any competitive level. Its click latency is remarkably low, and its sensor supports a maximum wireless polling rate of 4000Hz and provides superb motion and accuracy performance that closely translates the physical movements you make with your mouse into the cursor movements you see on screen.
- Remarkably low and consistent click latency.
- Outstanding all-around sensor performance.
- Supports a maximum wireless polling rate of 4000Hz.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The WLmouse Beast X is a wireless gaming mouse with a magnesium alloy exoskeleton, making it extremely lightweight but sturdy. It bears close similarities with several other recently released gaming mice, notably the Finalmouse UltralightX (Medium/Lion) and the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition, which are both nearly identical in size and shape.
Compared to these other mice, the WLmouse is considerably less expensive, and at the time of writing, it has been continuously in stock since its launch. At the same time, both the Finalmouse and Razer are being released in small periodic batches at irregular intervals. That said, the combined raw gaming performance of the WLmouse falls just short of the Finalmouse and Razer. It also doesn't match the same premium build quality level as the Razer. Still, it presents a comparatively more accessible and widely available option if you're interested in this current generation of cutting-edge and ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mice.

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 and the WLmouse Beast X are wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes and comparable raw gaming performance. The WLmouse has a more unusual magnesium alloy exoskeleton, making it significantly lighter. Comparatively, the Logitech has a much more conventional solid plastic body and a more subdued look.
The WLmouse Beast X and the WLmouse Beast X Max are lightweight wireless gaming mice from the same model lineup. The two have the same shape and magnesium alloy construction, but the Beast X Max is bigger. It also uses a newer sensor with better latency and a higher 8000Hz polling rate.
The Finalmouse ULX Pro Series and the WLmouse Beast X are ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mice with nearly identical symmetrical shapes. The Finalmouse is made of a carbon fiber composite and has slightly better raw performance. The WLmouse has a magnesium alloy body and has better overall build quality with fewer squeaks and less flexing. Additionally, the WLmouse is more readily available as it's in continuous production, whereas the Finalmouse was a limited run, and all units were sold at the time of writing.
The Finalmouse UltralightX (Medium/Lion size variant) and the WLmouse Beast X are both ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mice with virtually the same symmetrical shape. The Finalmouse is made of carbon fiber composite and has slightly better overall raw gaming performance. Unfortunately, we reviewed an early batch model with build quality issues. Reports from the community suggest that many of these issues have been addressed in later batches. We expect current models to be roughly comparable to the WLmouse regarding build quality. Comparatively, the WLmouse has a magnesium alloy body and is slightly more lightweight. Additionally, the WLmouse is more readily available as it has been continuously in stock at the time of writing, while the Finalmouse has only been released in small staggered batches.
