Reviews last updated: May 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Sharkoon Light S

  • True ambidextrous design with side buttons on both the left and right sides
  • Lightweight 78g honeycomb structure provides good handling without sacrificing durability
  • Excellent main button response with crisp actuation and low post-travel
  • High-quality 100% PTFE feet allow for a very smooth glide
  • Flexible, textile-braided 'ultraflex' cable reduces drag significantly
  • Affordable budget-friendly price point for a gaming-grade mouse
  • Matte surface coating is easy to clean and resistant to fingerprints

What customers don't like about Sharkoon Light S

  • Average sensor (PixArt PAW3327) with a lower DPI ceiling compared to premium models
  • Scroll wheel lacks distinct steps, leading to low tactility and potential accidental scrolls
  • Internal 'sensor lens rattle' reported on some units when the mouse is shaken
  • No option for hardware-based Lift-Off Distance (LOD) adjustment
  • Side buttons on the right can occasionally be accidentally pressed by right-handed users
  • Software is functional but considered dated in terms of design and features

Verdict

The Sharkoon Light² S is a versatile ambidextrous gaming mouse featuring a lightweight 78-gram honeycomb design and eight programmable buttons, including two on each side to accommodate both left- and right-handed users. It is equipped with a PixArt PAW3327 optical sensor offering up to 6,200 DPI, 220 IPS tracking speed, and 30G acceleration, alongside durable Omron switches rated for 20 million clicks and 100% PTFE feet for smooth gliding. Main advantages include its affordable price point, flexible braided cable, and comfortable symmetrical shape suitable for claw and fingertip grips. However, some users have noted cons such as a rattling sensor lens in some units, significant CPI deviation, and a side texture that can easily trap dirt.
