Our Verdict

Zaunkoenig M2K

Finalmouse Starlight Pro - TenZ Medium

The Zaunkoenig M2K and the Finalmouse Starlight Pro - TenZ Medium are both lightweight gaming mice. The Zaunkoenig is a wired-only model that's significantly lighter and has a carbon fiber shell. It also has a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. However, it lacks side buttons and is only suitable for use with a fingertip grip. On the other hand, the Finalmouse is a wireless model with a magnesium alloy shell. It also has two side buttons on the left and is better suited for a wider range of hand sizes and grip types.
