Which should you buy, Cooler Master MM731 or Vaxee Outset AX?

The Cooler Master MM731 suits budget shoppers chasing sub-50g wireless weight and ambidextrous claw and fingertip grip users, though it is not the pick for buyers who dislike honeycomb/vented shells and palm grip users wanting a fuller shell. Buy the Vaxee Outset AX for ambidextrous claw and fingertip grip users with medium hands and fans of lightweight wired esports mice, though it is the wrong buy for players who want wireless connectivity and palm grip users wanting a fuller shell. Our rating of the Cooler Master MM731 (8/10): one of the best value-for-weight wireless mice available; it just lacks the sensor polish of pricier flagships. Our rating of the Vaxee Outset AX (8/10): A well-tuned boutique wired mouse for players who want ZYGEN-level quality with a bit more shell length.
