Budget Mice

Ruggsie

Hey, I'm looking for a cheap budget mouse (roughly $30 CAD) which works well and is of a decent quality.  I'm not looking for something that has to be super flashy but that will last a while and is suitable for gaming. Thanks:)

At that price I would just get any cheap mouse that fits comfortably with your hand. If you can, save up a little more and get a G402 or something

$25 will maybe get you knockoff switches and a 3050 sensor, not worth buying

 

Save up a little more and get yourself a G402, Rival 100, etc. 

idk

I bought these two. Given the price I figured try them both.

I prefer the second one just how feels so I put the other way has a spare. Working great no issues 5 months use so far

Sadly the G402 is around $60 where I live, but I might be able to budget enough for the Rival 100.

 

If not I'm sure the VicTake will work perfectly

I can only speak about my own experience but so far so good. It works for me. For under $25 the options are very limited in Canada :(

That is used and from an unlisted seller so I think I'll steer clear of that. The new ones start at $90

Get a WMO 1.1. Has all the buttons you actually need (and a version that has 2 extra, trust me - you don't need 'em. Apart from that they are practically identical)

 

It's compfy in the hand and tracks well on most things. Scrolling works well and it'll last quite a while (if you treat it decently of course)

 

You can get them here or some-place else: (I won't shop for you)

One of my 6 (I love them) that is kept white and clean. I have 1 of the 5 button variety, get which ever is cheaper. They're both superb.

Is this a joke? Do you really think all people can make do with just a 2 button mouse? Almost alll gamers benefit from at least 2-3 extra keys, and MOBAs and MMOs prefer anywhere from 6-18 extra keys.

No, it's not a joke. The mouse I'm using has 2 extra buttons, the amount of time they did anything useful could be counted 2 hands and 4 toes.

 

If some-one does need them though, just saying that variant of the WMO might be for them.
