The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K is a lightweight, wireless gaming mouse that continues LAMZU's Atlantis lineup of gaming mice. It shares the same symmetrically shaped body as the LAMZU Atlantis but is smaller. It has a smooth matte plastic finish and a clear plastic frame on the underside of the mouse instead of a solid baseplate like most mice. It uses PixArt's flagship 3395 sensor and supports a maximum wireless polling rate of 4000Hz out of the box, or 8000Hz with the purchase of LAMZU's 8K Dongle.
Our Verdict
The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K is decent for work use despite not being explicitly designed for it. It has a comfortable symmetrical shape that's well suited for most hand sizes, and it has solid-feeling build quality overall. You can connect it wirelessly with its USB receiver, but it doesn't support Bluetooth or multi-device pairing. It also lacks some features found on dedicated productivity mice, like L/R tilt inputs on the scroll wheel and a free-scrolling mode.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K is only available in Charcoal Black, which is the colorway we bought and tested. The mouse doesn't have a label or serial number that's visible.
LAMZU sells a number of different models in their Atlantis lineup, each one with a regular and a 'mini' size variant. The newer 'Pro' and '4K' models have updated internals and support a higher polling rate of 8000Hz, despite what their name might suggest. With the 'Pro' models, you have to purchase the 4k or 8k dongle separately. Due to the higher polling rate, we expect these models to perform better than the older versions. For more information, here's a blog post by LAMZU with a table explaining the differences between Atlantis models in greater detail.
The 'Atlantis OG' models are simply larger than the 'Atlantis Mini' models, and we expect them to perform similarly. You can see all the different models and variants in the tables below:
Older, discontinued, 1k only models:
| Name | Size | Colorways | Notes | Discontinued? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LAMZU Atlantis (OG V1) | Medium | Polar White, Charcoal Black, Matcha Green, Musculine Pink, Miami Blue | Original model | Yes |
| Atlantis OG V2 | Medium | Polar White, Charcoal Black | Updated model | Yes |
| Atlantis Mini | Small | Polar White, Charcoal Black, Rose Gold | Smaller sized model | Yes |
Current high polling rate models:
| Name | Size | Colorways | Max Polling Rate | Sensor | 4k Dongle included? | Switches | Discontinued? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Atlantis OG V2 Pro | Medium | Polar White, Elegant Blue, Matcha Green, Miami Blue | 8000Hz | PixArt PAW3395 | No | Huano Transparent Blue Pink Dot | No |

Compared To Other Mice
The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K continues LAMZU's lightweight and symmetrical wireless gaming mice lineup. Its shape is a scaled-down but otherwise identical version of the full-sized Atlantis models. The models in the Atlantis lineup are split by size and whether they include the 4K wireless receiver necessary to enable a maximum polling rate of 4000Hz. This mouse includes said receiver, so it supports a 4000Hz polling rate out of the box.
This mouse offers top-tier performance that rivals other symmetrically shaped, wireless gaming mice like the Pulsar X2V2 (you might want to look at the Mini version if you're looking for something smaller) and the Razer Cobra Pro. Its shape differs from the competition in that its rear hump is rather wide and designed to fill out your palm, ideal for a claw grip.
For more recommendations, see our picks for the best gaming mouse, the best wireless gaming mouse, and the best lightweight mouse.
The LAMZU MAYA and LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K are lightweight, wireless gaming mice. Both mice are virtually the same size, but the Mini 4K has a more rearward hump and more aggressive curves, a shape that favors claw grip overall. On the other hand, the MAYA has relatively flatter sides and a low, central hump. Its shape is equally accommodating for palm, claw, or fingertip. These two mice also offer similar raw performance. Note that the Atlantis Mini 4K comes bundled with LAMZU's 4K dongle. The MAYA is also available either standalone or bundled with the same 4K dongle to increase its maximum polling rate to 4000Hz. Both are compatible with LAMZU's 8K dongle for an even higher polling rate.
The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 and the LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K are lightweight, high-performance, wireless gaming mice. The Logitech has a larger, more rounded shape that's well-suited for any grip type, whereas the LAMZU is smaller and better suited for a claw grip. The LAMZU also has a baseplate design that leaves its interior open, which may allow dust and debris to enter the mouse.
The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K and the Pulsar X2V2 are lightweight, high-performance wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. The LAMZU is slightly smaller but has a wider rear end, whereas the Pulsar has a straighter shape across the sides. The LAMZU natively supports a 4000Hz polling rate and has better click latency and sensor performance than the Pulsar. On the other hand, the Pulsar has better build quality.
The LAMZU Atlantis and the LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K are lightweight wireless gaming mice that are part of LAMZU's Atlantis lineup. The two mice have identical shapes, but the Mini is smaller, so it's more suitable for small and medium-sized hands. The Mini also supports a higher polling rate of 4000Hz and has better click latency and sensor performance overall. On the other hand, the Atlantis is bigger and better suited to those with large hands.
The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K and the Razer Cobra Pro are high-performance wireless gaming mice with small, symmetrical shapes. The Razer has a more aggressive "gamer" aesthetic, with 11 customizable RGB zones. It's also compatible with Razer's HyperPolling Wireless Dongle, which is sold separately but increases the maximum polling rate to 8000Hz. The LAMZU, on the other hand, has a native maximum polling rate of 4000Hz. It's also lighter than the Razer but has a baseplate design that leaves its interior open, which may allow dust and debris to enter the mouse.
Test Results
The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K has a matte black plastic body that looks and feels similar to other mice with the same finish in LAMZU's lineup, like the LAMZU THORN. It has a plastic framework on its underside that leaves the interior open. The scroll wheel has a black finish and a translucent, smokey gray rubberized grip. It has a small LED behind the left- and right-click buttons to indicate the battery level and another LED indicator that shines faintly through the baseplate to indicate your CPI setting.
Note: The 3D scanning tool has difficulty accurately capturing depth on the underside of this mouse because its baseplate is a frame rather than a solid piece of plastic. As a result, the scan displays a blurry texture layer inside the mouse. That said, the scale and dimensions of this scan are still accurate and aren't affected by this minor visual error.
This mouse isn't designed specifically for portability. While it's not very big, it's somewhat bulky, and there's nowhere to store the USB receiver inside the mouse. Also, its open baseplate design leaves the interior exposed to dust and debris.
The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K has great build quality overall. It has a smooth plastic outer shell with a matte coating that feels good in your hand and is high quality. There's some very minor flexing when you apply pressure in some areas, and you can activate one of the side buttons by applying pressure underneath it, but this isn't noticeable during normal use. There's some minor side-to-side play in the left- and right-click buttons, and you can activate the scroll wheel click by applying pressure to the right.

This mouse is extremely lightweight, making it very easy to move quickly and accurately.
The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K has the same shape as its bigger sibling, the LAMZU Atlantis, but smaller. It has a hump towards the back and a wide rear end that's designed to fill out your palm. Its shape is well-suited to support a claw grip, especially for small and medium hand sizes.
If you're interested in a similar mouse that's more accommodating to other grip types, check out the LAMZU MAYA, which is virtually the same size but has a central hump and relatively straight sides.
LAMZU advertises this mouse has a battery life of 20 to 80 hours. Battery life depends on your average daily usage and chosen polling rate, as higher polling rates consume significantly more battery life.
The mouse also has a low-power mode, which likely prolongs battery life at the expense of performance.
The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K has a lightweight, flexible paracord-like charging cable that glides well across desks and mousepads. However, it does retain some kinks from its packaging.
This mouse's feet glide easily across mousepads but are slightly scratchy-sounding when used on desks or harder mousepads; this doesn't affect gliding performance. The mouse includes two additional styles: small dots and two larger feet. Third-party replacement feet are available.
- 4K USB receiver
- USB-A to USB-C charging cable
- Set of adhesive grips
- Alternate PTFE feet (larger-style)
- Alternate PTFE feet (dot-style)
- User documentation
- Carrying pouch
You can reprogram all of the buttons on this mouse, including the CPI button on its underside. However, left-click must always be assigned, and you can't reprogram the scroll up or down inputs.
The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K has superb click latency performance. It provides an exceptionally responsive feeling experience for gaming in any genre and is suitable for casual and competitive play. We tested this mouse at a polling rate of 4000Hz in High Power (HP) mode and Peak Performance turned on.
We also tested this mouse at 1000Hz and found the click latency to be 2.9ms.
Additionally, we purchased and conducted testing with LAMZU's 8K dongle which increases this mouse's maximum polling rate to 8000Hz, where we found the click latency to be 2.1ms. Using that dongle, we also tested the click latency at 4000Hz and obtained a result of 1.7ms.
This mouse offers remarkable CPI performance. Its sensor tracks your movements extremely accurately and consistently. We conducted this test at a polling rate of 4000Hz with High Power (HP) mode and Peak Performance mode turned on and Motion Sync turned off.
The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K provides outstanding sensor latency performance. It reacts very quickly when you move your mouse and is suitable for casual and competitive play.
We conducted this test at a polling rate of 4000Hz with High Power (HP) mode and Peak Performance mode turned on, and Motion Sync turned off.
For reference, we conducted supplementary testing with this mouse's polling rate set to 1000Hz and with Motion Sync off:
- Delay to start of movement: 12.8ms
- Delay at half movement: 3.2ms
- Delay to end of movement: 2.8ms
We also bought LAMZU's 8K Dongle, which increases the maximum polling rate to 8000Hz, and found the following results:
8000Hz:
- Delay To Start Of Movement: 10.3ms
- Delay At Half Movement: 1.3ms
- Delay To End Of Movement: 0.4ms
4000Hz:
- Delay To Start Of Movement: 10.4ms
- Delay At Half Movement: 1.6ms
- Delay To End Of Movement: 0.8ms
The polling rate options are 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, and 4000Hz. It's also compatible with LAMZU's 8K receiver (sold separately), which boosts its maximum wireless polling rate to 8000Hz. This mouse features a High Power mode, a Low Power mode, and a Peak Performance mode. LAMZU doesn't specify what these settings do. However, we expect that High Performance and Peak Performance settings prioritize performance, while they likely intend Low Power mode to extend battery life at the expense of gaming performance.
The LAMZU Atlantis Mini 4K's scroll wheel operates quietly and precisely with well-pronounced steps. A textured rubber coating that provides ample grip covers it. Unfortunately, you can actuate the scroll click by applying light pressure to the right, as mentioned in the Build Quality section.
The left- and right-click buttons, side buttons, and the scroll wheel operate quietly and aren't likely to bother those around you.
LAMZU's companion software is fairly straightforward to use. That said, some settings and terminology aren't explained in the software, which can be confusing. This software allows you to change settings like CPI, lift-off distance, debounce settings, custom profiles, motion sync, and other sensor settings.
