The Scyrox V6 is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a symmetrical shape and a subdued design. It's a medium-sized mouse that's on the smaller side and has a fairly high profile hump in the center. It uses PixArt's flagship PAW3950 sensor and supports a maximum wireless polling rate of 8000Hz. It uses Omron Optical switches and has a web-based configuration software.
The Scyrox V6 is a decent mouse for work, despite not being explicitly designed for it. It has excellent build quality and a fairly accommodating symmetrical shape. You can easily remap its buttons to your liking using its web-based companion software. While you can connect to it wirelessly using a USB receiver, it doesn't support Bluetooth or multi-device pairing.
Excellent build quality.
No Bluetooth connectivity or multi-device pairing.
Scroll wheel lacks free scrolling and L/R tilt inputs.
The Scyrox V6 is a fantastic FPS gaming mouse. Its remarkably lightweight makes it easy to move, flick, and aim accurately and quickly. It also has excellent build quality and a symmetrical shape that's well-suited for palm and claw grippers of most hand sizes. It also delivers outstanding raw performance, making it suitable for gaming at any competitive level.

The Scyrox V6 is available in Black, White, and Blue color variants. We bought and tested the White colorway. It doesn't have a visible label.
The Scyrox V6 is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a solid plastic shell and a medium-smallish symmetrical shape. It has a fairly high, centered middle hump and closely resembles the G-Wolves HTS+ and the LAMZU MAYA X. It's a fairly versatile shape that can acommodate a range of hand sizes and grip types, but it's ideal for palm or claw grippers with medium-sized hands. As for performance, it's among the best and compares well to the Razer Viper V3 Pro and the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2. The Scyrox enters a quickly crowding space of lower-mid range to upper mid-range, incredibly lightweight gaming mice like the Scyrox V8, the Ninjutso Sora V2, and the Hitscan Hyperlight. These are all great alternatives to the more expensive flagship offerings from Razer and Logitech if you'd like to save some money and don't mind buying products from lesser-known brands.
For more recommendations, see our picks for the best FPS mouse, the best claw grip mouse, and the best lightweight mouse.
The Scyrox V6 and the Scyrox V8 are both lightweight, wireless gaming mice from the same company. They share the same internals and deliver nearly identical raw performance, but they have different shapes. The V8 has an aggressive rear hump that makes it ideal for claw grippers, whereas the V6 has a centered hump that's well-suited for both claw and palm grips.
The Hitscan Hyperlight and the Scyrox V6 are lightweight wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. They're fairly similar design-wise, but the Hitscan is smaller overall and has a lower profile. They're both well-suited for most grip types, but the Scyrox is more accommodating for larger hands. Also, the Hitscan has an open bottom plate to achieve its lightness, whereas the Scyrox has a completely solid shell. Under the hood, the Hitscan has a PixArt 3395 sensor, while the Scyrox uses the newer 3950. They perform remarkably similarly, but the Scyrox supports an 8000Hz polling rate out of the box, whereas the Hitscan requires you to purchase an additional 8000Hz reciever.
The LAMZU MAYA X and the Scyrox V6 are lightweight wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. The LAMZU is slightly bigger with a somewhat flatter profile, while the Scyrox has a more aggressive middle hump. They both sport a flagship PixArt 3950 sensor and deliver outstanding performance. That said, the LAMZU has an open bottom plate, which leaves the interior open to dust and debris.
The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 and the Scyrox V6 are lightweight wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. The Logitech is larger, heavier, and has a flatter curvature, while the Scryrox is shorter with a more aggressively curved profile. The two deliver similarly outstanding performance, but the Scyrox has better mouse feet that are thicker and glide more smoothly across more surfaces.
The Scyrox V6 and the MCHOSE L7 Pro are lightweight wireless gaming mice. The Scyrox has a higher profile shape with a centered middle hump, while the MCHOSE has a lower profile hump placed closer to the rear. This makes it better suited for a slightly more aggressive claw grip, or even fingertip, but the Scyrox has a more versatile shape overall. Beyond shape differences, the Scyrox has a slightly more solid-feeling build and better mouse feet, but both mice have similar fantastic raw performance. Additionally, the MCHOSE supports Bluetooth.
The Scyrox V6 has a fairly conventional design without many frills or extravagant details. It doesn't have any RGB lighting, but there's a status LED below the Scyrox logo on the front left side of the mouse. The baseplate, side buttons, and scroll wheel are black, regardless of whether you get the White, Blue, or Black color option.
This mouse has excellent build quality. It's made of solid plastic that has a soft-touch, matte finish that's comfortable in hand. It doesn't have any significant flex or rattling that's noticeable during normal use, but the bottom plate has some flex, and you can actuate the middle click button if you push hard enough.
The Scyrox V6 has a symmetrical shape with a well-rounded, somewhat high-profile centered hump that provides good palm support for claw and palm grips for most hand sizes. That said, it's taller hump isn't ideal for fingertip grip as it can get in the way. Its shape closely resembles that of the G-Wolves HTS+ and the LAMZU MAYA X.
This mouse has a 250 mAh battery. Scyrox doesn't advertise a battery life estimate, but we've been seeing reports of users getting 1–2 days of battery life with heavy use at higher polling rates and up to a week with lower polling rates and lighter use. If you have this mouse and want to share your experience with battery life, let us know in the comments.
This mouse comes with a paracord-like cable that's quite thick and heavy. Despite its weight, it's still quite flexible but adds some friction when gliding across mouse pads.
You can reprogram the left and right click buttons, the scroll click, both side buttons, and the CPI button on the underside of the mouse. The left click must always be bound to a button.
This mouse has remarkable click latency and is suitable for the highest caliber of competitive gaming.
We tested it at its maximum wireless polling rate of 8000Hz and maximum wired polling rate of 1000Hz with motion sync turned off and competitive mode enabled.
This mouse's sensor exhibits no problematic variation or tracking accuracy issues.
This mouse has fantastic sensor latency performance suitable for gaming at any competitive level.
The above results are using a wireless polling rate of 8000Hz with motion sync turned off and competitive mode turned on.
The table below shows the results of supplementary testing we conducted at different polling rates.
Connection Type | Polling Rate | Delay to Start of Movement | Delay at Half Movement | Delay to End of Movement |
---|---|---|---|---|
Wireless | 1000Hz + Motion Sync | 12.8 ms | 3.9 ms | 5.7 ms |
4000Hz | 13.0 ms | 2.1 ms | 4.1 ms |
The available polling rate options are 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz, and 8000Hz.
This mouse features motion-sync, 'Competitive,' and 'Long Distance' modes. We conducted all of our testing with motion-sync and 'Long Distance' modes turned off and 'Competitive Mode' turned on.
The main click buttons, side buttons, and scroll wheel are all quiet and aren't likely to bother anyone around you.
Scyrox S-center is a web-based software that allows you to configure CPI and polling rates, set profiles, reprogram buttons, and more. It's well laid out and easy to use. Still, some of the tooltips don't offer particularly insightful explanations for what some settings, like the 'Competitive' and 'Long Distance' modes, do. Scyrox also offers a downloadable version of the S-Center software.

I have two suggestions to improve the “best” recommendations for phone calls especially:
- Since there is a huge decline in sound quality when using bluetooth HFP for two way communcation (see Bose 700 thread on this one), this MUST be considered highly on this list. E.g. a headset with a seperate wireless 2.4ghz connector (as some gaming headsets actually have) or especially wired Headsets shall be higher listed in overall voice quality (both input and output) than the Bose 700. Honestly, a cheap USB-C wired headset sounds better in every zoom call than the many bose 700 I bought for the company after the reviews here…
- One thing that might be weird to us - at least I assume - more technical guys is to take the professional look into account. Another reason why people are not using the Bose 700 is because they “look to bulky, almost like gaming headsets” and they end up reverting to Apple Earpods or Airpods, which are simply horrible. I know, we are data driven here, but I simply can’t force the company wide roll out of for example a 2.4 ghz gaming headset with a lot of red and blue strips on it just because it will “improve the phone quality as you guys are asking for”.
Hi Memory!
Thank you for your detailed feedback! You raise good points; many people are already turned away from the idea of gaming headsets as call/office headsets. We’ve even had gaming headsets on this list in the past, but they didn’t really fit user expectations. As a result, we consider the professional look as well as what kinds of products people expect when they search for ‘Bluetooth headsets’. We recognize that not everyone is looking for work/business headphones for making calls. As a result, we try to be a bit more dimensional in our recommendations (and within our Phone Calls usage box) because, just as there are people who require high-functioning mics as part of their jobs, there are also people looking more casually in order to call their friends and family while on the go or from home. In these latter cases, calls are a high priority, but there are also other factors like ANC, battery life, and comfort that are also part of their decision-making process.
As for 2.4gHz connector headsets, this is also something we’ve considered, but there aren’t many non-gaming headsets on the market that use this technology and we also haven’t tested many of them either. We have tested the Jabra Evolve2 85, but they can be very difficult to find in stock, which makes it harder to recommend them.
Thank you again for your comments. It really helps us improve and suggest better products products for your needs. If you have any other feedback, please let us know. :)

I had exactly the same priority - making sure that the person on the other end can’t hear the noise around me. For this, I found the “noise handling” rating here a bit misleading. I believe that rating reflects more how well noise is suppressed for me, but, since I wanted a headset that leaves one ear free anyway (so I can legally use it while driving), that wasn’t my priority. I ended up getting a BlueParrot, which has only one earpiece, and thus doesn’t suppress noise from my surroundings that well, but is doing a great job suppressing noise for the people I speak to. I also confirmed with a number of friends who I could trust would tell me the truth that while they could hear me loud and clear, they didn’t notice the din around me even when I was on a subway platform when a train arrived.
Most of reviewers focusing more on music mode listening and few targeting conversation/conference using bluetooth device.
I am specifically looking for a headset that is best at filtering out background noise on my end so the person i am talking to always thinks I am in a quiet room. It seems your rating for Noise Handling refers to this. This is the only thing I care about. As such, I would love a way to see the headphones ranked specifically by this measure as opposed to the overall score which isn’t what i care about.
