Is a gaming mouse worth it

hi, im 15 year old casual gamer i like to play league of legends dota 2 and many other very non demanding games, and i use a very cheap 2$ mouse that i had lying around for a while and i now want to upgrade it, but most of the well known mice out there are 60+$ and i think that is bogus to pay just for a mouse, a store nearby sells this bluestork gaming mouse for 10$ 

Gaming Mouse KULT#1

and a slightly more costing one

Gaming Mouse KULT#2

 

so i just want to know if these are really really bad to be that cheap or if they are actually decent and every other mouse out there is overpriced

I think you should save up some more cash. I mean $10 won't get you nowhere. I am currently using the Razer Deathadder 2013 and it is well worth it. It has customizability and tons of features. I would spend at least $45+ on a mouse.

In my opinion, it depends on which mouse. Some gaming mice have shitty sensors but have stupid high DPI, then some mice have a moderate/realistic DPI and a fantastic sensor (what I prefer).

 

The mice you listed wouldn't be my choice at all.

That's true only most of the time.

Cheap gaming mice like the Logitech G100s exist. The Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical is also a great gaming mouse with its sensor.

Depends on the game, I find this: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Daedalus-Prime-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00OHJY7C2to be the perfect mouse for me.

 

It isn't cluttered with buttons but it has enough to suit all of my needs while also being very very ergonomically correct (for my hand)

 

it has 3 buttons that I typically use for

 

League of Legends: 2 button, 3 button, and place trinket. (Typically boots or dorans in the first slot, 2 and 3 are usually potions, then later activatables)

CSGO: Flash Grenade, Voice Chat, Smoke grenade

I have kicked ass with "gaming" mice and I have kicked ass with the crap mice you get for free. Never had an issue with either type of mouse, just got to get use to them. More buttons, programmable buttons are very convenient though. Practice practice practice.

Oh yeah I need this gaming mouse with 20 buttons and custom lighting colors for only 100$!!!

Wtf is wrong with some people

I use a logitech basic mouse (and keyboard) that is wireless and have no problems. Has worked great so far and they aren't really that power hungry. They can go through 2 batteries in maybe a month or 2. I don't even remember when I put in new batteries into these things. Even then I have rechargeable batteries so no worries there.

You don't need some stupid mouse with giant words "GAMING MOUSE" as their title. Any thing reliable that has a scroll wheel and a right/left click will do just fine

Steelseries Rival is my recommended gaming mice. Amazing price, the software is easy and very lightweight and the sensor is great.

The Logitech g303 is prob the mouse you'd want to look at for the games you'd play

 

http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Daedalus-Performance-Gaming-910-004380/dp/B00TKFD51M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1432857276&sr=1-1&keywords=g303

 

People are always going to chime in about not having a "gaming grade" mouse but the sensors do make a difference once you reach a certain skill threshold.

 

I'd say from what I can see the most suggested mice atm are

 

Logitech g502

Logitech g303

Steelseries Rival

Zowie Fk1 or FK2

Razer Deathadder

The only things that should matter are the sensor (if you play fps) and the ergonomics. You can get an amazing mouse for around $20 on ebay (microsoft intelllimouse).

Who needs a computer when you have a toaster?

Well I have a gaming mouse and I could never go back.

 

In my opinion, "gaming" mice are the only things that are marketed towards gamers that aren't complete shit quality or overpriced the majority of the time.

I don't know where you're from, but just wait for a good sale for a mouse from a reputable brand, and you'll be happy. 

 

There's no need to pay full price if you don't need it immediately, and that will make it worth it :)
