What Mouse Does Horcus Use?

Horcus's mouse history

The history has 7 periods across 6 different models, which means 6 switches. One period dominates it: the Razer Viper Ultimate from September 2022 to May 2025, lasting 31.8 months (2.6 years).

He came back to the Viper Ultimate once, in July 2025. Across both periods it adds up to 35.4 months (2.9 years), the most time on any model.

After the first Viper Ultimate period the pace changes. The HITSCAN Hyperlight White lasted 2.0 months, the Viper Ultimate returned for 3.6 months, and the Razer Viper V3 Pro Black ran 2.5 months. The Finalmouse Ultralight X Medium lasted 1.9 months and the Pulsar X2 1.1 months.

The FinalMouse UltralightX Competition, in use since April 2026, is at 6.4 months. That is already longer than any single period since the first Viper Ultimate stretch. The last three mice before it were all ultralight wireless models, and the Competition sits in that group.

Mousepad

The pad is a GIGABYTE AORUS AMP500, a 47 x 43 cm cloth surface that is 2 mm thick and has no stitched edges. It has been the pad since September 2022, which is 49.3 months.

That makes the pad the constant in his setup. It stayed in place through the whole run of mouse changes, from the Viper Ultimate to the UltralightX Competition.

Mouse settings

In VALORANT he runs 800 DPI at 0.315 sensitivity. That gives an eDPI of 252 and 51.8 cm/360.

The in-game polling setting is 1000 Hz, while the UltralightX Competition itself is specced for 8000 Hz. Scoped and ADS sensitivity are both 1, so the multiplier stays the same across zoom levels.

Should you buy Horcus's mouse?

The UltralightX Competition is a wireless, ambidextrous mouse. It is 12.1 cm long, 5.7 cm wide and 3.7 cm tall, and weighs 35 g. It uses a PMW 3395 sensor with Huano button switches and is specced for 8000 Hz polling. The symmetrical shape suits players who want a low-profile, light mouse that is not built for one hand.

The alternatives trade off in three ways:

• Finalmouse Ultralight X Medium: 1 g heavier, with the same length, width and height. It has the Finalsensor, optical switches and polling up to 8000 Hz. 2 pros use it now.
• Finalmouse Ultralight X Frostlord Medium: the same specs and the same 1 g weight difference as the Ultralight X Medium. 1 pro uses it now.
• WLMouse BEAST X Black: 5 g heavier, 0.1 cm longer and 0.5 cm wider, with the same height. It keeps the PMW 3395 sensor but tops out at 4000 Hz, and it has optical switches. 2 pros use it now.

For the closest match in size and weight, the two Ultralight X Medium variants are the nearest. The BEAST X Black suits someone who wants a bit more width and weight.
