Good Budget FPS Mouse

[ulookuglynoob]

Hello. Recently in FPS games I've realized that my ain is very bad. I disabled the windows precision thing (Forgot the name, the thing that speeds up your mouse if you move faster) and all, and I still don't have the best aim. Tried changing sensitivity. Welp, its probably just that I suck, but my aim wasn't as bad before. Anyways. My mouse is very heavy. ITs was like 10 bucks and is minimum 250g. The clicks are also not as tactile as I would like, so I'm trying to get a new mouse. My requirements are that its gotta be less than 130g, at least 2 side buttons, black, and RGB. My budget is under 60 bucks. I am open to buying used, since about 75 percent of my setup was bought used, such as my keyboard, GPU, Mobo, ram, monitor etc, and nothings gone wrong (other than the fact that my ram can't xmp, but nvm). I'd also prefer ROG, since I got a lot of ROG products and kinda want my desktop RGB to be synced, but i'll be fine if the mouse you find from another brand is a lot better. Mainly play fps games, so keep that in mind. I would also like the mouse to be clicky and tactile, because my current mouse isn't, and my mouse before was, so I get messed up when I don't hear a click. Right now I am eyeing the ROG Gladius III, since its ROG (RGB sync with rest for my setup), light, has side buttons, and is tactile. Its only 56 bucks (USD), and fits all my requirements. I have also been looking at the g502, since its cheaper, more buttons, and looks nice, but it ain't tactile/clicky and its kinda heavy( 130ish grams) for FPS games.  Please comment and give suggestions.

Tried and true g502

 

Also your aim isnt likely to suddenly get really good with a better mouse. Will it help? For sure.

 

Why the 130g thing?

 

Also if you can avoid rgb do so less software hassle. Its a mouse your hand covers it always.

 

The super light mouse trend has only been a thing for 4 years or so and its pretty much marketing. Plenty people play with "heavy" mice and are great.

 

The best way to improve aim is to practice and try different settings that allow you to maximalize the strengths you have. Also sometimes just using different playstyles and guns.

Yea, I understand that I just suck at accuracy. I still want a new mouse, since my current one is very cheap, not tactile, and is extremely heavy.

[ulookuglynoob]

im also pretty sure my accuracy suck since I just switched to a new game. I swapped from fort to val 2 weeks ago, and aim is a lot harder on val.

G502 is a great mouse, I used it for years until it developed issues on the right click, it would either click twice or not hold down correctly. Be aware of this as it is a very common issue with them.

Is it tactile? and is it too heavy for FPS games?

Another mouse I found is the Razer Basilisk v3. It's kind of like the Gladius III, but it has more buttons and a bit heavier. It is also tactile. Its like a g502, but I personally find it better. Is this better than the Gladius III? the Basilisk v3 is also a lot cheaper.

EVGA has their X20 gaming mouse on sale for $18 ($70 original MSRP), which is an amazing deal. It's not the best mouse but I'd say it competes in the $60 category. 

 

It's 123g, rgb, side buttons, 16000 dpi, 2.4ghz/Bluetooth/wired.

 

Not sure if I can post links but it's $18 on amazon and newegg, $20 on EVGAs website. 

 

Obviously do some independent research first but I think it's worth looking up.

I personally used a G502 for a couple years and it was overall a good mouse. Only gripes I had was the cable frayed easily and the mouse wheel lost it's resistance.

It's decent. I just don't like the placement of the buttons. Kinda odd. However, other than that its a decent mouse, especially for the prices. But I'd rather just spent a bit more and buy the Basilisk v3 or the Gladius III. Also, since it's wireless, there may be some slight input delay, so I'm probably not gonna risk it. thx though.

what do you mean by tactile? tactile means it makes a click sound when you press it on purpose rather than because of the mechanics, like tactile keyboards do

that's an abstract requirement, which nobody else can answer for you, as people may classify loud clicks on a different sound level

oh well. I guess I don't care as long as it's clicky. not silent

[ulookuglynoob]

just tell me which of the mouse I listed is the best and suggest some others if they are better.

lot of gaming mouses are specifically clicky because they use similar style of switch a keyboard uses more or less,

I've had neither mouse,

 

check out any online reviews of these mice if they sound good to you, I can vouch for Logitech as I have 403G Hero mouse, but it's like only knowing "how chocolate tastes and not vanilla, I can't tell you that vanilla tastes better or worse than chocolate"

[podkall]

On the bottom line, if the gaming mouse is expensive enough from a reputable company, it should be a hit 80-90% of the time. And it doesn't have to be too expensive to already be good.

 

My 403G Hero isn't probably as good as G502 or G Pro, since my mouse is more than 50$ cheaper than G Pro. But it's better than my cheap mouse I had previously.

You could go for a G502X which is the updated version of Logitech's G502

Yeah this one fixed all the issues apparently. Looks nicer too

What do you mean by tactile? And I never had any issues with it being heavy, I quite liked the weight of it even for competitive csgo.

Im running a basilisk ultimate and i really like it, though im considering trying a G502 as my next mouse after the basilisk wears itself out in a few years

The g502x is nice, but it is a lot more expensive compared to the Basilisk v3, which has the same features and has better RGB. (as the g502x has none) I know the hand covers it all, but it's still RGB. And I also heard that the switches on the g502x need a lot more force to operate and sound a bit weird. I'ma do some more research though...

[ulookuglynoob]

Well, I guess my main question is whether I should get the Gladius III, Basilisk v3, or the g502.

[ulookuglynoob]

Welp, i watched a lot of reviews, and i huess ima just go with the basilisk v3, since its a bit betr than the g502 and is cheaper and looks better than the gladius iii.
