While the MVP Wired failed as a replacement of the revered Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical (WMO), it succeeded in being a good mouse. The MVP Wireless builds on this as it inherits most of its strengths while suffering only from few issues.

One of the greatest perks of the MVP Wired were its buttons, and the MVP Wireless is no different. Gamesense made no compromises and installed Kailh GM 4.0 switches on all buttons save for one (CPI), which is unusual but highly welcome. While the main buttons weren't entirely uniform on my copy of the MVP Wired, my MVP Wireless sample fares much better in this regard, and the clicks themselves are pleasingly snappy and firm without being overly stiff. The side buttons are close to perfect as pre and post-travel are virtually nonexistent, and the button response is even and highly satisfying. The scroll wheel too is unchanged, and even though noise levels could be lower, tactility is on a good level, and scrolling tight and controlled. The same goes for the feet, which are of above average thickness and glide very well, and a set of replacement feet is included in the box.

General build quality is fine on my copy. There is quite a bit of creaking when applying pressure on my copy but no flexing, and while actuating the side buttons by squeezing the sides is possible, doing so requires an excessive amount of force. At 76 g, the MVP Wireless isn't quite on the same level as a competitor such as the Cooler Master MM731, but still decently light, roughly on par with the Logitech G Pro Wireless or Razer Viper Ultimate in this regard. Most of the weight increase comes from the battery, which has a capacity of 400 mAh, and some of it is due to the design having room for improvement in terms of efficiency. At least two of the screws affixing the PCB are superfluous, and the magnet keeping the dongle in place adds some weight as well. Speaking of the battery: Considering its capacity, I would've expected slightly better battery life as both the Xtrfy M4 Wireless and Pulsar Xlite Wireless got it beat in that regard, the latter of which while having 25% lower battery capacity. Accordingly, using RGB lighting in wireless mode isn't really an option on the MVP Wireless, and doing so is further hindered by the charging being fairly slow. On the bright side, the charging cable is decently flexible, so charging while playing without feeling restricted is possible at least.

Since the MVP Wireless is using the same OEM wireless solution debuted with the Pulsar Xlite Wireless and later adapted by the Xtrfy M4 Wireless and several others, performance is largely stellar. CPI deviation is appreciably low, wireless polling stable at 1000 Hz, and general tracking just fine. As on the Xlite Wireless, polling rates below 1000 Hz all exhibit periodic outliers in wireless mode, but other than that, there are no noteworthy issues. Unlike the Xlite Wireless or M4 Wireless, the MVP Wireless unfortunately lacks an included wireless extender. While performance isn't necessarily negatively affected by this as wireless motion delay sits at just 1 ms, a wireless extender would have been important to avoid wireless interference, which can happen if the dongle is plugged directly into a USB 3.x port. On a $60 mouse, this would be excusable, but since many competitors in the $80 price range manage to include one these days, doing so should have been possible for Gamesense as well.

The software is also familiar from the Xlite Wireless. All the important functions are present, including all settings native to the sensor, such as ripple control and angle snapping, and the RAM footprint is pleasantly low. Click latency too can be adjusted, and if set to the lowest value, clocks in at just 2.9 ms, which is excellent. RGB lighting can also be configured within the software, but there is an issue. On the MVP Wireless, the RGB lighting is split into two physical and logical zones, which can be disabled independently. However, when disabling the LED strip but not the logo, the logo will bleed into the strip, which isn't exactly the best look. Accordingly, in terms of aesthetics, one would want to either keep it on in full or turn it off entirely.

Overall, while not without flaws, the MVP Wireless gets the important things right, and thus deserves our Recommended award. At $99, the MVP Wireless is neither particular expensive nor affordable, though compared with the competition, a price tag in the $90 range would be more appropriate, especially when looking at non-ambidextrous competitors such as the $99.00 Xtrfy M4 Wireless or $79.95 Pulsar Xlite Wireless V2. In terms of ambidextrous alternatives, there aren't that many. The Model O and Model O- Wireless come with lower weight, similarly good buttons, a wireless extender, and better battery life, but slightly worse performance and plenty of holes, for $79.99. The Fnatic BOLT has comparably great performance, slightly worse buttons, better battery life, a wireless extender included, and weighs less, but suffers from a woefully bad software, for $89.99. Lastly, the Razer Viper Ultimate has better performance and battery life, optical main button switches, a similar weight, and a wireless extender included, but the software can be annoying, for $129.99.
