How did we research this? We watched every single team play and we looked through thousands of official photos from the event. Here is the full player list and the mouse they used at IEM Katowice 2023. It offers 4000 Hz polling rate, the Razer Focus Pro 30K optical sensor and up to 30,000 DPI. The DeathAdder V3 Pro boasts the best specs on paper out of all of the most-used mice in professional Counter Strike. If we’re ignoring technicalities, the second most popular mouse is the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro. The EC2-CW is the wireless version with slightly different specs, the EC2 is wired and is the only widely-used wired mouse in competitive Counter Strike. The reason this is second on a technicality is because 10 players use the EC2-CW and 9 players use the regular EC2. The second most popular mouse within CSGO players is technically the Zowie EC2. Of these 51 players, 50 use the G Pro X Superlight and only INS from Grayhound Gaming uses the older (but still highly rated) Logitech G Pro Wireless. On top of this, despite 10 out of 15 potentially-sponsored players using a Logitech mouse, there are 51 other players that use a Logitech mouse without having a public sponsorship agreement. SteelSeries sponsor FaZe and none of the players use a SteelSeries mouse. Razer sponsor 2 teams and only 4 players out of 10 use their mice.Įndgame Gear sponsor 1 team and only 1 player uses a mouse of their’s. Other brands also don’t appear to enforce a rule that players must use their products. To support this theory further, G2 and ENCE are also sponsored by Logitech and yet only 3 of the players on each team used a Logitech mouse. However, it wasn’t the full team, which suggests it isn’t mandatory. NAVI were the team that represented their sponsor the most, with 4 out of their 5-man roster using a Logitech mouse whilst being sponsored by Logitech. The ROG Swift Pro PG248QP is the worlds fastest esports gaming monitor. So, were those teams being swayed by their sponsor? These teams were Sprout, G2, ENCE, NAVI, MOUZ, Ninjas in Pyjamas and FaZe. The DeathAdder V3 Pro boasts the best specs on paper out of all of the most-used mice in professional Counter Strike. Of all the teams competing at IEM Katowice 2023, 7 teams had a sponsor that also makes mice. Is this all down to sponsorship obligations? It features arguably outdated technology such as Micro USB rather than USB-C, and a large number of alternative, higher-spec products are on the market, yet so many players still stand by it.
