Best Gaming Mouse for CS2
CS2 rewards stable aim, fast micro-corrections and zero input mush. A gaming mouse for CS2 has to track at low DPI without jitter and click without latency. The Noxen Shadowfang is built exactly for that.
Why this mouse
CS2 — why Noxen Shadowfang
Pros at every major CS2 event run sub-70g wireless mice on optical switches. PAW3950 keeps spray-control consistent. 4K/8K polling makes counter-strafe taps land on the right frame.

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.
