Best mouse under 100$?

[Ishit Singh]

For almost 2 years I've been just blowing air under G502 switches in order to temporary fix it's infamous double click issue while playing FPS games and I finally can't take it anymore. I really want to get a mouse which isn't Logitech because of there use of this terrible switch and after hearing next G502X will be using the same switch I finally give up any hope I had for this company.

 

The dimensions of my hands are 19cm/7.5 inch length and 10cm/ 3.9 inch width. I use fingertip grip while playing FPS and while doing work or playing MOBA I prefer using palm grip, sometimes when i'm tired I use palm grip for FPS as well. I've only used mouse with thumb ledges my entire life but I'm down to use a mouse without one if it will improve my aim.

 

I was leaning towards buying Razer Basilisk v3 because of how similar it is to G502 but then some people recommended me to get HyperX Pulsefire Haste instead since I play FPS game with fingertip grip and this mouse is made specifically for that grip in mind but because I've been using a brick my entire life i'm not quite sure if i'll be able to adapt and transition my aim to an ultralight mouse.

 

I'll be glad to hear you guys opinion and recommendation.

I found the razer too light so I went with a heavier corsair,  I found most mice in that price range to be pretty similar in features however my corsair is a wired/wireless variant and it was the same price. 

Only when you start using it for a session or 2 will you truly know if it suits you.

Sadly Glorious Model D is overpriced where I live, it's 130$ which is way over my budget.

Yup same story. Model O price is 9,499 rs which is almost 130$

Mice are a tricky thing, as they're so personal. It's really going to come down more to trial and error unfortunately. I wouldn't worry too much though, I find that one can generally adapt pretty quickly to a new mouse, even if you hate it at first.

 

I quite enjoy my Razer Basilisk V2. I didn't go for the V3 because it was almost 3x the price and there weren't enough improvements.

Mice I've used before: G.Skill MX780, ThermalTake Level 10 M, G502, MX Master, MX Master 3, Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro.

If you like heavier mice I wouldn't really heed @Heliian's warning, as I too enjoy heavier mice and I found it to be fine after a week or so of use.

Is it an option to go to a store and try some to see what's comfortable, and then check reviews etc?

True, it's all about trial and error and that's why i'm thinking about giving HyperX Pulsefire Haste or any other ultralight mouse a try because I never get to experience ultralight mice and if I don't like it i'll just replace it and buy Razer Basilisk v3.

Nope as far as I know there's no store around me that provide that service. You either buy the product or leave, there's no option to test a produce and see if you are comfortable using it.

That's what I'd do. Usually when I buy something, I try to have it be both an upgrade, and something I haven't tried before, so I can add it to my list of wants or know to never try it again. If you're able to sell the HyperX if you don't like it, even better, as you can just account the money lost as the cost of learning you don't enjoy it. I've had iffy experiences with HyperX branded products and their longevity though; several broken headsets.
