Conclusion from that:
If you only use your mouse for everyday tasks, work, or casual games like Minecraft (creative mode), Civilization VI, Stardew Valley, or The Sims 4, even a mouse with mediocre click latency won't affect your experience.
If you play competitive titles like Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, Overwatch 2, or Fortnite, latency becomes more important. That said, modern gaming mice, especially those built for esports, are now so fast that even budget-friendly wireless models deliver excellent performance.
For context, a mouse that scores 8.0 and one that scores 9.7 in our click latency tests feel identical in practice. While measurable differences exist, they are virtually unnoticeable in-game and have no major impact. Rather than focusing solely on click latency, it is worth weighing factors like shape, build quality, and other features when you make a buying decision.

So I’d say my previous post holds… paying $180 for a mouse is silly… if you want a crazy mouse, the Razer at $125 is better - and you’ll probably be fine with a $50 mouse…
