Best Gaming Mouse for Apex Legends
Apex Legends combines tracking, movement and recoil control in one fight. A gaming mouse for Apex Legends has to give you smooth tracking on long fights and precise micro-flicks when you wall-bounce a Pathfinder.
Why this mouse
Apex Legends — why Noxen Shadowfang
Long fights mean a wireless mouse can't drop frames, smoothing can't blur the recoil pattern, and the shell can't fatigue your wrist mid-game. Noxen Shadowfang covers all three.

Sensor — PixArt PAW3950
The flagship optical sensor, decoded.
The PAW3950 reads surface texture cleanly past 6 m/s of hand motion, with zero smoothing and zero prediction. That means every micro-correction your hand makes lands on screen unfiltered — no acceleration, no angle snapping, no input mush.
Polling rate
1000Hz · 4000Hz · 8000Hz — what changes.
Polling rate is how often your mouse tells the PC where it is. Higher polling rate means smaller gaps between input reports and lower input latency. Noxen supports all three so you can match the rate to your monitor and CPU.
| Rate | Interval | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 Hz | 1.000 ms | Baseline. Safe for every CPU, every monitor. |
| 4000 Hz | 0.250 ms | Sweet spot for 240–360 Hz monitors. |
| 8000 Hz | 0.125 ms | Lowest input interval. Pair with 360 Hz+ and a strong CPU. |
All Noxen wireless polling rates run over the 2.4 GHz link — no cable required.
