MCHOSE L7 Review

Shape & Size
The MCHOSE L7 features a design similar to popular mice like the Pulsar X2, VXE R1, VXE MAD R, Attack Shark R6, and, with a moderate back hump, flat side curves, and a flat front flare. What really sets the L7 apart is its smaller size. While the other mice measure around 120mm in length, the L7 is only 116mm, making it closer in size to the Pulsar X2 Mini.
Even with my larger hands (20.5 x 10.5 cm), I could claw grip the mouse, though I found the mouse works best with a fingertip grip. For users with medium to small hands, a claw grip should work well, while those with very small hands might prefer a palm grip given the mouse’s compact dimensions.
Coating & Grip-tape
The MCHOSE L7 has a great surface coating that is both comfortable and grippy. It remains reliable regardless of humidity or temperature. Although it may not match the grip of premium brands like Zowie, Vaxee, or Endgame Gear, it still outperforms many mice in the same price range.
For those who want extra grip, the L7 includes grip-tape for the sides, main buttons, and two strips on the back to increase palm support.
Build Quality
The build quality of the MCHOSE L7 is excellent. There is a slight flex on the sides under extreme pressure, but it never affects normal gameplay. The top is solid without any flex or creaking, and while the bottom can flex a bit, it doesn’t happen during regular use. Plus, there’s no rattling when you shake the mouse.
Weight & Feet/Skates
Weighing just 39 grams, the MCHOSE L7 achieves its low weight without sacrificing build quality—thanks in part to its compact size. The weight is slightly toward the front, yet the overall balance is still great.
It comes with black PTFE skates that become fast and smooth after a short break-in period.
Buttons & Scroll Wheel
The standard L7 uses mechanical Omron switches rated for 100 million clicks, while the L7 Pro and L7 Ultra feature Omron Optical switches rated for 70 million clicks. Using the L7 Ultra, I found the switches to be satisfying—they offer a good tactile feel and respond well to rapid clicking, requiring a moderate amount of force.
All versions of the L7 are equipped with the TTC Gold Wheel Encoder. This scroll wheel provides a balanced, moderately tactile feel when scrolling or clicking.
Sensor & Performance
The standard L7 and L7 Pro come with the PAW3395 sensor, capable of up to 26,000 DPI, while the L7 Ultra uses the upgraded PAW3950 sensor, reaching up to 42,000 DPI. In my experience with the L7 Ultra, the performance was excellent. All variants support an 8K polling rate.
Conclusion
The standard MCHOSE L7 is priced at $46, the L7 Pro at $52, and the L7 Ultra at $56. On the official MCHOSE store, code ELO is available for 3% off. These prices offer great value for the features provided. Its design and compact size are best compared with the Pulsar X2 Mini. With excellent build quality, a solid shell, and an ultra-lightweight of only 39 grams, this mouse is both comfortable and agile. If you’re on a budget, the standard L7 is a solid choice, but if you can spend a bit more, the L7 Ultra is a worthwhile upgrade.
