A website is now letting gamers compete to identify gaming mice purely by their silhouette, and it turns out most of us are far worse at this than we thought.
FindMyMouse has added a MouseGuessr beta mode to its existing mouse comparison platform, and the premise is simple: you get a silhouette of a gaming mouse scanned from multiple angles, and you have to name it. The database currently covers more than 100 mice, ranging from household names like Razer and Logitech to more niche picks like WLMouse, G-Wolves, and Finalmouse. Spoiler: the niche ones will destroy you.

How the scoring works
The game is not purely punishing. Even a wrong answer earns points. The scoring system rewards three things: how fast you answer, how similar your guess's shape is to the correct mouse, and how close you are in millimeters. So if you guess the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 when the answer is the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex, you are not walking away empty-handed.
Once you lock in a guess, you can click through to the actual mouse and see its full 3D scan, specs, and a shape comparison overlay. That last part is genuinely useful beyond the game itself.
Two ranked modes that will humble you
For players who want a real benchmark, FindMyMouse offers both a standard ranked mode and a Nightmare ranked mode, both requiring an account. Standard ranked averages your score across 7 rounds. Nightmare bumps that to 15 rounds, giving a much more accurate read on whether you actually know your mice or just got lucky spotting a Razer DeathAdder silhouette.
The competitive angle is a smart addition. Most mouse comparison tools are passive, you browse specs and dimensions at your own pace. MouseGuessr turns that knowledge into something you can actually test and measure against other players.
The practical side of mouse guessing
What most players miss is that EloShapes and FindMyMouse have always been serious tools for mouse research, tracking over 1,500 mice and 400 mousepads with shape data and user scores. MouseGuessr is essentially a gamified version of that database. If you do well on a particular mouse shape, you can immediately jump into a side-by-side comparison to find similar options, which is actually a solid way to discover alternatives to whatever you are currently running.
Gamers chasing a specific hand feel but wanting to try something new can use the shape comparison data directly from the guess result screen. The post-guess screen gives you access to full 3D scans, specs, and a comparison function all in one place.
MouseGuessr is not trying to replace dedicated mouse review content. It sits alongside it, rewarding the kind of obsessive peripheral knowledge that competitive PC gamers tend to accumulate anyway. If you have spent any time agonizing over the difference between a Razer Viper V3 Pro and a Viper V4 Pro, this is the game built for you. For everyone else, it is a fast way to discover just how many gaming mice look almost identical when you strip away the branding.
