The EvoFox Banshee 2 is a budget tri-mode gaming mouse that works wired, over a 2.4 GHz USB receiver and over Bluetooth (with two Bluetooth slots), built around a PixArt 3311 sensor with up to 12,000 DPI and a small LCD screen that shows DPI, battery level and connection mode. It is a good fit for casual gamers and everyday users who want one mouse for a gaming PC, a work laptop and a tablet. It is not aimed at competitive esports players, mainly because of its 96 g weight and its 500 Hz polling rate in 2.4 GHz wireless mode.
Key takeaways
- Who it suits: Casual and single-player gamers who want a wireless mouse with adjustable DPI and macros.
- Who should skip it: Competitive FPS players who want 1000 Hz or faster wireless polling.
- Check before you buy: Variant: the linked listing is the Banshee 2 in black, so confirm the colour and the name “Banshee 2” before ordering, since the original Banshee is a different mouse.
This article covers the black Banshee 2 sold on Amazon.in (style name “Banshee 2 (Black)”). The listing names Allied Electronics & Magnetics Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, as the manufacturer.
A note on method: this article is based on the Amazon.in listing data (captured 17 October 2026), EvoFox’s launch details as reported by FoneArena, and Digit’s published review. EvoFox’s own website blocked automated access, so we could not read the official product page directly. We have not used this mouse ourselves; any real-world observations are attributed to Digit.

One correction to the listing: its battery field says “1 9V batteries required”, which conflicts with the same listing’s “600mAh Long-Life Battery” feature and with FoneArena’s report of a 600 mAh battery charged over USB-C. The mouse uses a built-in rechargeable battery, not a 9V cell.
Three connection modes, three different polling rates
The Banshee 2’s headline feature is flexibility. You can plug it in with the included 1.5 m USB-C cable, use the 2.4 GHz USB receiver, or pair it over Bluetooth, and the listing title’s “2X BT” indicates two Bluetooth connections. In practice, that could mean a gaming PC on the receiver, a work laptop on Bluetooth slot one, and a tablet on slot two.
The catch is that each mode runs at a different polling rate, according to the Amazon.in listing and Digit’s review: 1000 Hz wired, 500 Hz on the 2.4 GHz receiver and 133 Hz on Bluetooth. Polling rate is how often the mouse reports its position to the computer. At 1000 Hz, that is every 1 ms; at 500 Hz, every 2 ms; at 133 Hz, roughly every 7.5 ms.
For office work, browsing and most single-player games, 500 Hz is perfectly usable, and many people will not notice the difference. In fast competitive shooters, though, players usually prefer 1000 Hz or higher wireless, and many current gaming mice offer that. With the Banshee 2, you get 1000 Hz only with the cable connected. Bluetooth at 133 Hz is best kept for productivity and tablets, not gaming.
The PixArt 3311 sensor and DPI presets
The PixArt 3311 is an optical gaming sensor from PixArt. FoneArena’s launch report lists up to 300 IPS tracking and 35g acceleration for the Banshee 2. These numbers describe how fast you can move the mouse before tracking breaks down, and 300 IPS is ample for most players, including those who use low sensitivity and large arm movements.
The 12,000 DPI ceiling sounds impressive, but many players use far lower settings day to day. The more useful detail is the five presets listed (600, 1600, 3200, 6400 and 12000), which the listing says you can switch between on the fly. According to the listing, the software lets you customise DPI steps, so you can replace the presets with values that suit you.
The LCD screen is the real differentiator
Many budget mice tell you the DPI with a coloured LED, which means memorising which colour equals which setting. The Banshee 2 has a small LCD that shows the current DPI, battery percentage and connection mode. Digit’s reviewer called the display the mouse’s best feature because it removes the need to open software to check these details. Battery percentage is especially useful on a wireless mouse, because it tells you when to charge before the mouse dies mid-game.
Battery life and charging
The listing and FoneArena both mention a 600 mAh battery. EvoFox’s rated battery life was not available to us. Digit’s review reports about three days of use at roughly eight hours per day, and says the mouse reached about 50 percent charge in under an hour. Digit described the battery as “not the best”, though not a dealbreaker. Battery life on any RGB mouse also depends on whether lighting is on and which wireless mode you use, so your results may differ.
The practical upside of tri-mode is that a flat battery is not a crisis: plug in the USB-C cable and keep playing in wired mode, at the full 1000 Hz polling rate.
Design, buttons and comfort
The listing gives a weight of 96 g and an ABS plastic shell. Digit noted that the weight is heavier than competitive players usually prefer, and that the build does not feel premium but seemed sturdy enough for regular use. Digit found it comfortable, highlighted a thumb rest for longer sessions, and noted two slightly protruding side buttons and clicks with a noticeable clicky sound.
The Amazon.in listing says six buttons are programmable and settings and macros can be stored in onboard memory, so your setup can carry over to another computer without reinstalling software. FoneArena’s report also mentions two buttons on the underside. RGB lighting sits on the logo and scroll wheel, according to Digit. Note that Digit reviewed the white version, while this article and link cover the black one.
Who should buy it
- Casual and single-player gamers who want a wireless mouse with adjustable DPI and macros
- Students and office users who switch between a laptop, a desktop and a tablet
- Anyone who likes seeing DPI and battery level at a glance on the LCD
- Buyers who want a wired fallback when the battery runs low
Who should skip it
- Competitive FPS players who want 1000 Hz or faster wireless polling
- Anyone who prefers a light mouse, since 96 g is on the heavier side for gaming
- People who need quiet clicks for shared rooms or calls
- Mac users who need customisation software, as the listing confirms software support only for wired and 2.4 GHz modes and does not name the platforms it runs on
Alternatives worth comparing
EvoFox Banshee (original): per FoneArena’s launch report, it uses a PixArt 3325 sensor with up to 10,000 DPI, up to 1000 Hz in both wired and wireless modes, eight programmable buttons, Huano switches rated for 10 million clicks, a 500 mAh battery and the same 96 g weight. It is worth a look if 1000 Hz wireless matters more to you than the LCD.
Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2: a premium esports mouse. Logitech’s India page lists 60 g, a HERO 2 sensor rated up to 44,000 DPI, polling up to 8 kHz over LIGHTSPEED wireless, up to 95 hours of battery life and USB-C charging. Bluetooth is not mentioned. It suits serious competitive players; read our Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 review for more.
Before you order: a quick checklist
- Variant: the linked listing is the Banshee 2 in black, so confirm the colour and the name “Banshee 2” before ordering, since the original Banshee is a different mouse
- Box contents: the listing includes the 2.4G receiver and a 1.5 m Type-C cable, so check both are there on delivery
- Ports: the receiver needs a USB-A port, so USB-C-only laptops need an adapter or Bluetooth
- Software: download customisation software only from EvoFox’s official website
- Warranty: the listing states a 1-year manufacturing warranty, so keep the invoice and the warranty card

According to the Amazon.in listing and Digit, it is 1000 Hz wired, 500 Hz over the 2.4 GHz receiver and 133 Hz over Bluetooth.
Does the Banshee 2 work with a Mac or an iPad?
The listing says it works with Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS without drivers. Bluetooth makes it usable with many tablets, but the listing does not specifically mention iPadOS, so treat that as unconfirmed.
How long does the battery last?
EvoFox’s rating was not available to us. Digit reported about three days at around eight hours of daily use, and about 50 percent charge in under an hour.
Is the Banshee 2 good for competitive FPS games?
It can be used for them, but Digit recommends it for casual gamers rather than esports players, mainly because of the 96 g weight. The 500 Hz wireless polling rate is another limit for competitive play.
What is the difference between the Banshee and the Banshee 2?
Per FoneArena, the original uses a PixArt 3325 sensor (10,000 DPI) with 1000 Hz in wired and wireless modes and eight programmable buttons. The Banshee 2 moves to a PixArt 3311 (12,000 DPI), adds the LCD and dual Bluetooth, and has a 600 mAh battery.
Verdict: the EvoFox Banshee 2 is a feature-rich budget mouse whose LCD and tri-mode connectivity make it practical for mixed gaming and work use. Just accept the weight and the lower wireless polling rates. Check the current price of the EvoFox Banshee 2 on Amazon.in.
