I am having trouble finding a mid-range mouse for my new build. My requirements are:

 

- Max ~ $75 USD

- I like the look/shape of the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 (doesn't have to look similar, this is just the style that appeals to me)

- Minimum 2 side buttons

- Good build quality/ brand reputation

 

Any and all suggestions are welcome

Mchose A7 Ultra (https://www.maxgaming.com/en/wireless-mouses/a7-ultra-wireless-mouse-white) is a bang for buck if you like G Pro's shape + overall feeling is better in my opinion, I have used them both at many FPS and i would rather pick Mchose one, than GPX 

You can also consider Zowie S1-B V2 (Wired) (https://www.maxgaming.com/en/wired-mouses/s1-b-v2-white-special-edition-gaming-mouse-limited-edition) if wired version of mouse is not a problem for you 🙂

If you want light for cheap and 2 side buttons I can say that the VXE R1 mouse was very very light, almost too light for me to use. I would look into it however you preferably would need to order it off AliExpress for the cheapest prices.

I have heard about the G502, although since I will be gaming quite a bit on my new build, I would prefer something lighter

A lighter mouse btw is not gonna make you better (unless you are in the top 1% where 1.1 and 1 has a MAJOR impact in who wins or loses)

And Lighter isnt always better due to the indivuduals preferences, strength etc etc

I edit my posts for so if you saw a typo.... no you didn't, you are just crazy

I'm currently using a Razer Deathadder V2 Hyperspeed. Quite affordable at 45$ and it works really well for me, 2.4ghz and bluetooth as well. https://a.co/d/gAhXM0M . Primary disadvantage is it uses AA or AAA batteries.

To me, that kinda battery on wireless mice is a bonus instead of disadvantage 🤣

I am most likely to go with one of these, great build quality from brands I know, and all great designs.

here's comparison tool, at least for mouse shape:

I have been pleasantly surprised by the Razer Viper. I was rather sceptical as im NOT a RPG fan at all, and ive usually used heavier mice, like the Logitech M705, but i actually really like this lighter mouse (still use a heave at work though).

Edit: the one I have seems to be the Razer Viper Ultimate. I don't know what the differences between the models are.

mITX is awesome! I regret nothing (apart from when picking parts or have to do maintainance *cough*cough*)
