The £87 question

Where these mice are actually made

The question people mean by "Chinese mice" is about brand origin, not manufacturing. Almost all gaming mice, including Logitech and Razer models, are assembled in China. ATK, Lamzu, Pulsar and WLMouse are Chinese brands selling direct. Logitech is a Swiss brand. Razer is a Singaporean-American brand. Endgame Gear is German. Xtrfy is Swedish.

Compare Electronic does not record a country of manufacture for any product, and this article makes no claim about where an individual mouse is assembled. What follows compares published specifications and live UK prices only.

Weight

Lamzu Maya Champion Edition weighs 40 g. Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 weighs 61 g. Razer Viper V4 Pro weighs 49 g. ATK Blazing Sky F1 Pro MAX weighs 50 g. Endgame Gear OP1 8K v2 weighs 50 g.

Weight is the one spec the established brands did not concede. The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 is the lightest mouse here, and it is a Logitech. Below roughly 50 g the returns flatten anyway; shape and sensor consistency matter more to most players than another 5 g.

Sensor and polling rate

Razer Viper V4 Pro uses the Focus Pro 30K sensor and polls at 8000 Hz. ATK Blazing Sky F1 Pro MAX uses the PAW3950 sensor and polls at 8000 Hz. Endgame Gear OP1 8K v2 polls at 8000 Hz. Lamzu Maya Champion Edition polls at 8000 Hz.

This is the clearest evidence that the spec gap has gone. An 8000 Hz polling rate and a current-generation sensor used to be flagship-only. Both now appear on an £86.99 mouse. Note that 8000 Hz polling costs CPU headroom and battery life, and most players see no benefit above 1000 Hz.

Price per point of score

Dividing live price by Versus score gives a rough value figure. ATK Blazing Sky F1 Pro MAX costs £1.21 per point. Endgame Gear OP1 8K v2 costs £1.03 per point. Razer Viper V4 Pro costs £1.79 per point. Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 costs £2.21 per point. Lamzu Maya Champion Edition costs £2.70 per point.

The Versus score is Compare Electronic's own specification score, not a customer rating and not a review verdict. It weighs published specifications within a category. Use this ratio to shortlist, not to decide.

What you give up

Specification parity is not the whole purchase. The established brands carry longer warranty terms, UK-based returns handling, and firmware support measured in years rather than months. Razer Viper V4 Pro publishes 180 hours of battery life; Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 publishes 90 hours. Neither ATK, Lamzu nor WLMouse publishes a battery figure for the models here.

That gap in published data is itself informative. A brand that does not publish battery life, click latency or a warranty term is asking you to take the sensor spec on trust. If a mouse is a tool you use eight hours a day, buy the one with a support path.

Spec table

Brand origin is the brand's home market, not a country of manufacture. A dash means the manufacturer does not publish that figure.

Which one to buy

• Buy the ATK Blazing Sky F1 Pro MAX if you want flagship specification at the lowest price. PAW3950, 8000 Hz and 50 g for £86.99.
• Buy the Razer Viper V4 Pro if you want the highest-scoring mouse on the site and a published 180 hour battery figure.
• Buy the Lamzu Maya Champion Edition if you want the lightest of the Chinese boutique options at 40 g.
• Buy the Endgame Gear OP1 8K v2 if you want 8000 Hz polling and 50 g from a European brand at £69.95.
• Buy the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 if you want the lightest mouse here at 61 g, or if you value warranty handling and long firmware support over raw specification.

Verdict

On published specification and price, the Chinese direct-to-consumer brands have caught up. ATK Blazing Sky F1 Pro MAX delivers 8000 Hz polling, a PAW3950 sensor and 50 g for £86.99, undercutting the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 by £72 while scoring higher. The Razer Viper V4 Pro remains the highest-scoring mouse Compare Electronic tracks, so the premium brands still hold the top of the range, just no longer the middle of it.
