Getting under 40 g in plastic means perforating the shell and giving up stiffness. Magnesium allows a closed, rigid shell at 39 g. In practice there's no flex when you squeeze the sides, and the sensor keeps its alignment even if you grip hard in a clutch.
The PAW3950 is the reference sensor of the current esports generation. 750 IPS means tracking motion of roughly 19 metres per second without losing the surface: any human flick sits far below that ceiling, so the sensor is never the bottleneck.
It ships with an 8 kHz dongle for competing and a 1 kHz nano receiver for everyday use or a laptop. Dropping to 1 kHz when you're not competing stretches the battery considerably — and with 300 mAh and high polling, battery is the weak point of the ultralight format.

Fields with no data show as “—”: it means neither Amazon nor the manufacturer publishes that figure. We'd rather leave it empty than estimate it.
39 grams changes the physics of your arm: flicks come out faster and stopping takes less effort. The price is that a mouse this light forgives micro-tremor less, so coming from 70-80 g you'll need a few days of adjustment before your headshot percentage comes back.
It's the least suited of the three mice for Rocket League: the small ambidextrous shape and minimum weight are built for flicking, not the long, stable tracking of an aerial camera. If Rocket League is your main game, prioritise shape and support over grams.
The OMRON optical or TTC Nihil switches hold up well to high-CPS PvP, and the low weight helps with the fast camera movement of crystal PvP. The lack of an official battery figure is what grates most over long server sessions.
Very capable, but it's a niche product from a small brand, with fewer reviews and less support. For a Roblox player who just wants a good light mouse, there are better-proven options at the same money.
Ideal for: The player who already knows they want absolute minimum weight, uses claw or fingertip, and doesn't mind going outside the big brands.
It's a recent launch and the product page has barely accumulated any reviews, so the average rating you see on Amazon is calculated from very few opinions and should be taken with caution. That's why this analysis leans on the spec sheet rather than buyer experience.
