Our Verdict

G-Wolves HSK Pro 4K

Keychron M4

The Keychron M4 and the G-Wolves HSK Pro 4K are high-performance, lightweight, wireless gaming mice. They're both extremely small and designed to be used exclusively with a fingertip grip. While the two have similar shapes, the Keychron is noticeably longer but still very small. They both use the same sensor and have remarkable raw performance that's suitable for casual and competitive gaming. The Keychron has better build quality, a larger battery, and Bluetooth connectivity.
