Our Verdict

Keychron M3 Mini

Razer Cobra Pro

The Razer Cobra Pro and the Keychron M3 Mini are wireless gaming mice with a fairly similar size and shape. The Razer has significantly higher-quality feet and better gaming performance. By default, it has a maximum polling rate of 1000Hz. However, you can also buy a separate wireless Razer Hyperpolling dongle that allows a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. It also has RGB lighting, which the Keychron lacks. On the other hand, the Keychron is significantly lighter and is available for purchase as a 1000Hz or 4000Hz variant.
