Our Verdict

Cooler Master MM831

Keychron M1

The Cooler Master MM831 is a versatile wireless gaming mouse, while the Keychron M1 is an excellent ultra-lightweight, wired gaming mouse. The Cooler Master feels sturdier and connects either wirelessly via its USB receiver or  Bluetooth, or wired with its charging cable. It also has a much higher maximum CPI and supports Qi wireless charging. On the other hand, the Keychron is significantly lighter and has a much more flexible paracord-like cable. It also has mouse feet that glide more smoothly and lower click latency. Additionally, it has a pair of side buttons on either side.
