Ninjutso Sora V2 Review

Note

I’m not affiliated with Ninjutso and this mouse was not sent to me for a review. I’m really new to reviews, so if you have any suggestions or constructive criticism, I’m really open to them. Let me know if there’s anything I could improve for future reviews!

Introduction

The Ninjutso Sora V2 has gained attention as a top-tier ultra-lightweight mouse, and I decided to put it to the test. As someone who primarly plays with a semi aggressive claw grip, I was curious to see how well this mouse would suit my playstyle. After using it extensively for a couple of weeks, here’s my full breakdown.

Packaging

The unboxing experience is very straightforward yet effective. I’ve ordered the pink variant of the mouse, so all the accessories included are also pink. The mouse is neatly packed with a pink USB-C cable, a 1000Hz wireless dongle, and some documentation. Furthermore, the box included two types of skates, one large and one small. The mouse comes without skates attached, I chose to use the smaller skates to try the mouse at first. The package also had some stickers and a manual. Nothing overly extravagant but it serves its purpouse.

Design & Build Quality

The Sora V2 features a symmetrical design that is particularly suited for claw grip users. It has a well-proportioned hump that supports the hand naturally, ensuring comfort during long usage periods. The construction quality is notable, with tight seams, minimal button wobble, and a lightweight yet durable frame. There are no creaks or side flexing; it’s simply a very well-constructed mouse.

One small detail to mention is the coating. It offers a pleasant rubberized texture, akin to the GPX or VXE R1 Pro, though it doesn’t provide as much grip as an EndGameGear mouse. I was pleasantly surprised that the pink coating exhibited no issues with smudges or fingerprints whatsoever.

Performance

Right from the start, using the Sora V2 felt incredibly smooth and intuitive. Its lightweight construction, paired with sleek PTFE feet, offers a very good glide and accuracy.

The clicks are sharp and responsive, featuring Omron Optical switches that feel nimble and quick. The side buttons have a satisfying tension, are positioned well, and possess a slightly ergonomic design. The scroll wheel offers distinct steps while still enabling fast scrolling when necessary.

Regarding tracking, the sensor performance is impeccable. There are no spin-outs or inconsistencies, just pure accuracy. I recorded several personal bests in both AimLabs and Kovaaks, in just a few days of using the mouse, which highlights the impressive capabilities.

I mainly utilized the Sora V2 alongside three mousepads: the Kurosun Samurai, the Aqua Control Zero, and the Artisan Raiden Mid. This combination provided me with a diverse array of speed and precision, and the Sora V2 excelled across all of them.

Battery Life

The mouse achieved about 10 days of battery life on one charge with a 1000Hz polling rate and this is impressive.

Feet & Coating

The standard PTFE feet are decent, though I’d recommend aftermarket ones for an even smoother glide. They perform well, and there’s no real need to swap them unless they wear out.

Software and customization

The Sora V2 stands to Ninjutso’s minimalist approach, there is no need to download any software since all configurations can be modified through a web-based configurator. You can customize DPI, debounce time, lift-off distance, and button functions without requiring any installation. The interface is super intuitive and simple.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

✅ One of the best small mice for claw grip

✅ Lightweight (sub-40g category)

✅ Excellent coating

✅ Crisp Omron Optical switches with minimal pre/post-travel

✅ High build quality—no creaks or side flex

✅ Strong battery life (10 days at 1000Hz)

✅ Responsive and consistent sensor

✅ Performs well across different mousepads (Kurosun Samurai, AC Zero, Artisan Raiden Mid)

Cons:

❌ $99 price tag faces tough competition.

Conclusion

Despite being available for 10 months, the Sora V2 continues to be a strong contender for users who prefer the claw grip. While in the 100€ price range it faces tough ****competition from other lightweight options such as the ATK F1 Extreme and Hitscan Hyperlight, the Sora V2 provides a premium experience in terms of build quality, performance, and comfort.

If you’re looking for a top-tier, lightweight mouse that performs well in both casual and competitive settings, the Sora V2 is an excellent choice. It may not be the most affordable option, but it certainly ranks among the best-performing mice I’ve tried so far.

• Final Score: 9.5/10

The Ninjutso Sora V2 (at the time of writing this review) is mostly out of stock from all the main perypherals sites and even on the official ninjutso site
