The Mice & Keyboards Of The Most Popular Twitch Streamers
If you’ve ever been on Twitch, then you’ve probably come across one of the top 50 streamers using their platform. Streamers like Ninja, Shroud, Summit1g, and TimTheTatman have garnered millions of followers and dollars with their skill and ability to entertain the chat. Considering the countless hours they spend playing either competitively or casually, the mice and keyboards they choose to use should be noted. Let’s take a quick look at the most common keyboards and mice among Twitch’s royalty:
36% of the most popular streamers choose a Logitech mouse to game with, and 20% choose a Logitech keyboard. Logitech does sponsor a lot of streamers, such as Shroud with his own Logitech G Pro lineup, but many streamers choose Logitech because of their G series. However, Logitech isn’t exactly streamer’s choice, though it is the most common. Other popular keyboards and mice among Twitch’s top 50 include FinalMouse, Razer, and HyperX, so let’s delve deeper.
Mice
Logitech G Pro Wireless
Key Features
- Wireless
- Customizable RGB lighting
- 6 programmable buttons
Specifications
- 1.57 x 2.5 x 4.92 inches
- 80 grams
- Ambidextrous
The Logitech G Pro wireless gaming mouse might be the best gaming mouse on the market today. It took took over 2 years to design, and had direct input from over 50 professional E-sports players, which explains why 50% of the most popular Twitch streamers with a Logitech mouse are using the G Pro Wireless. Those using the G Pro Wireless include Shroud, xQc, tommyinnit, and DrLupo.
FinalMouse
Key Features
- Wireless
- Chargeable battery
- ~160 hour battery life
Specifications
- 42 ~ 58 grams
The next most common mouse that popular streamers use is any variation of a FinalMouse, such as the Air58 or Starlight-12. This is the same company that gifted Summit1g a $100,000.00 diamond encrusted mouse, which is the nerd equivalent of a diamond encrusted grill. FinalMouse releases a new lineup of mice every so often, but quickly sells out, so be sure to catch their next drop if you’re looking for a lightweight wireless mouse. Streamers using a FinalMouse include Summit1g, Ninja, Tfue, and NickEh30.
Razer DeathAdder V2
Key Features
- Drag-free cord
- Customizable RGB lighting
- 8 programmable buttons
Specifications
- 2.87 x 5 x 1.69 inches
- 181 grams
The Razer DeathAdder is tried and true, and now there’s a V2. This mouse comes with a Razer “Speedflex” cable for minimal drag, thus eliminating the need for a cable bungee, but there’s also a wireless DeathAdder V2 if you find cables bothersome and don’t mind spending the extra money. Weighing in at 181 grams, this mouse is much more heavy than the Logitech G Pro and any of the FinalMouse mice, so keep that in mind if you prefer lightweight designs. Streamers who choose a DeathAdder include TimTheTatman, dreamwastaken, Elded, and Syndicate.
Keyboards
Logitech G Pro Mechanical Keyboard
Key Features
- Detachable cable
- Customizable RGB lighting
- 12 programmable F-keys
Specifications
- Tenkeyless
- GX Blue Switches – Clicky/Tactile
- 2.82 pounds
Like the Logitech G Pro wireless mouse, the G Pro mechanical keyboard was designed with the input from professional gamers, resulting in the transportable TKL size, detachable cable, and responsive blue switches. The rubber feet keep the keyboard from slipping to uncomfortable positions, and there’s a three-step adjustment that enable you to customize the angle to your liking. Streamers using this keyboard include Shroud, ibai, NICKMERCS, and TSM_Daequan.
Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition
Key Features
- Detachable cable
- Customizable RGB lighting
- Razer Hypershift programmable macros
Specifications

Similar to the Logitech G Pro mechanical keyboard, the Razer Huntsman TE is designed to be portable, with its TKL size and detachable cable. The Huntsman stands out from its competitors with its linear optical switches having a 1mm actuation point instead of the standard 2mm, making keystrokes that much quicker. TimTheTatman, JuanSGuarnizo, Auronplay, and NickEh30 are among the top 50 Twitch streamers using the Razer huntsman
HyperX Alloy FPS Pro
Key Features
- Detachable cable
- Red backlighting
- 100% anti-ghosting & NKRO

The HyperX Alloy FPS Pro is another mechanical keyboard used by a select few of Twitch’s royalty.

Notable Alloy FPS Pro users include Pokimane, Elded, and Fresh.
