After testing the Ninext Raptor Pro on my setup, I decided to write about whether this Brazilian gaming mouse is really worth it, or whether it’s just another release with pretty marketing. I use a fingertip grip day-to-day, and it was precisely that detail that made me pay attention to it. Spoiler: I became a fan.
First Impressions
The first thing that caught my attention was the price. The Ninext Raptor Pro comes with the PixArt PMW3395 sensor, the same type of top-tier sensor that appears in much more expensive mice on the market. I was surprised to see this specification in a Brazilian gaming mouse costing much less than the competition with an equivalent configuration.
The weight also caught my attention right away. At under 50 grams, it’s visibly lighter than most wired mice I’ve used, and this becomes even more evident as soon as you pick it up for the first time.
What I Liked Most
The strongest point for me is the shape for those who use a fingertip grip. I use that grip day-to-day, and the Ninext Raptor Pro fits perfectly with that style — I didn’t feel the need to adjust my hand or “fight” with the mouse’s shape, as has happened with other models I’ve tested.
Another point I value a lot is the value for money. There are mice with similar specifications, like the same type of high-performance sensor, costing quite a bit more. For those who want this level of precision without paying the price of an imported gaming mouse, the Ninext Raptor Pro delivers that with room to spare.
What Bothered Me
Honestly, I don’t have much of a specific complaint about the mouse itself — my experience so far has been quite positive. If I had to point out something, it would be more a matter of expectation: being a wired mouse, it requires a bit more care with cable management than a “plug and play” wireless mouse. But, as I’ll detail below, this has a solution.
Day-to-Day With the Cable
A detail that made all the difference for me was the cable quality. The Ninext Raptor Pro comes with a very flexible and light cable, quite different from those rigid cables that get in the way of movement in older wired mice.
Using it together with a mouse bungee, the day-to-day result is very similar to that of a wireless mouse — which is what most players are looking for these days. In other words, you can have the sense of freedom of a wireless mouse, without giving up the response of a wired one.
Is It Worth the Price?
In my view, yes. What weighs most in the Ninext Raptor Pro’s favor is precisely this relationship between what it delivers — a top-tier sensor, low weight, a good shape for fingertip — and the final price, which comes in below several competitors with similar specs. It’s worth confirming the updated price before buying, since peripheral prices change frequently, but even with some variation, the sense of value holds up.
Conclusion and Final Score
The Ninext Raptor Pro won me over mainly for two reasons: the perfect fit with the fingertip grip and the value compared to mice with similar specifications but much higher prices. Adding to that a cable light enough to mimic the feel of a wireless mouse when used with a bungee, it was easy to recommend this gaming mouse to those looking for precision without spending a fortune.
Score: 9/10
