Best Gaming Mice Under $100?

Wingman-77

Suggestions for some great gaming mice under $100.

 

This is to help others who are looking for mice, as well as myself who is getting pretty nervous committing to a mouse I might not like.  I'd like to see what others are using for their mice, so I can compare.

 

Your post should contain:

 

  • Your hand size
  • What you use it for/what it's used for
  • Price
  • A link to it

 

This information is all for reference.  You don't have to include it, it's just a suggestion to make other people's lives easier.

Logitech G502. Done.

 

/thread

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

I have a Logitech G500 (I picked it up at walmart for 35 of clearance, basically stole it lol)

Hand size is around 3.5 inches wide, 6 inches long

Price around 70 USD online

Use is for Gaming/Surfing Web

Extra Info-Very Comfortable, Adjustable weight system, Easy Sensitivity Control (On mouse), It felt weird at first getting used to the grip but once I used it for a week or so it was perfect.

Rest in Pepperoni

G502 is an excellent mouse and my #2 currently behind of course the beloved Death Adder

 

Razer DeathAdder

Medium

General use and light gaming(it has no macros if that means anything to you)

New version is ~50, you can find old versions for ~30.

Linked above.

 

If it were me I would stretch for the new version.

If it were made better, a Razer Deathadder honestly. But I've seen a live demo version break in my hands at Best Buy so I can't say I recommend it.

I'd also say Logitech G502 but it's made for a specific hand size. I have small hands and the mouse just felt so.. awkward. A palm grip is really your only option with one of those.

I like the Corsair M65 a lot (which I saw in store next to the G502). It would be great for FPS gaming and for people with wide hands.

well i have razer imperator and today i just bought Logitech G502

for reminder, i have small-medium hand (i'm an asian, my hands about 18cm long, from palm to middle finger)

bought the razer imperator for $65

bought the G502 for $60

general use for gaming & doing daily activities..

 

I sweat a lot using G502, with using imperator i'm not sweat at all (maybe because it's new? or maybe because the quality?)

G502 is more slimmer than Imperator

G502 have more buttons than imperator

i hate the scroll button in G502..so noisy..

both are for small-medium hands i think..if u have big hands don't buy those..go for another mouse..or it will force u to use claw grip using it..

i love using both..but i don't know why i sweat a lot using G502..

I have quite massive hands. And a M65, when in normal position the top of my tumb touches the sniper button by a few molucules. Same goes for the "forward"-button. If I want to grip it to reach all buttons I have to hold it in a very uncomfortable way. I'm used to keeping my palm resting on desk and use fingers to freely move the mouse. If I want to reach all buttons I'll have to rest my palm against the mouse itself. it just feels weird.

Only going with 9700K if it is soldered, otherwise going with delidded 8700K. Also waiting until 2080 prices have settled down.

ETA: Mid October 2018.

If you want a small, light mouse, and don't mind a lack of side buttons, Logitech g100s.

 

if you want an average weight mouse, with 2 side buttons, Zowie FK1

 

If you want a heavier mouse with many buttons, Logitech g502

That's exactly what I was afraid of happening with the M65. I don't have large hands, but I do palm my mice, and I'm afraid that my thumb will be resting in that sniper button, so I'm reluctant to buy it. And I'm afraid that my hands are just too small for the G502's.

Logitech G402. 

Large hands. But can still palm this mouse. 

$51. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1/182-3133932-3772516?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=g402

I use this mouse on a low sensitivity and with the Fusion core, it never has an issue with fast movements. Feels great, especially when you get used to the thinner profile of the mouse. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

I can see how it would feel weird for some. I hold my hands in every grip possible and it manages to work quiet well for me.
