Chinese Mice

[KemoKa]

So I am poor. I have money, but right now it's not practical for me to spend money on expensive hardware. While I would like in the future to be able to buy a G502 (because it looks sick) I have decided to get this for my stint in Japan.

(sighhhhh, yes, I know I'm a fool for buying anything Chinese...) Cost me $7, so I am not expecting a whole lot, but it looks (looks) alright and the few reviews on it seem positive about it. I know I shouldn't put much stock in reviews on chinese goods, even if they are good. If a reputable company like Corsair or Razer or CM made one of these, it would probably be freaking awesome, but I'm stuck with this nameless, faceless Chinese manufacturer. It looks slightly like a Logitech knockoff, which is why it caught my eye (I mean for all I know they could have been made in the same factory.) And for all intents and purposes it looks decent. Yes, I remember Linus's video about "Don't buy low-end junk, because it doesn't make sense, you're better off saving your pennies for another couple of weeks..." it's one of my favourite videos of him, but it just isn't practical for me right now to shell out $80 on a balls-to-the-wall high-end mouse if I can get an adjustable mouse with a couple extra buttons for a tenth of the price.

 

Tell me what you guys think of cheap knockoff mice. Are they worth the little that they are sold for if you're on a tight budget?

There are so many copies of the mouse. I got the same kind of thing. It's called the Aula Ghost Shark, and it's a good mouse for what I do.

Eh, not bad. Tell me when it breaks. Because I have no experience with the quality of Chinese products I'll say it'll last at least a month.

Chinese Knockoffs are usually not worth it. There was like a used m65 on the classifieds....

You're probably right. I just can't game on a Logitech m305, so I bought it. I'll see how it is, and if it breaks, I'll just wait a while until it is practical for me and buy a g502.

Won't be the same as bigger brands, but it's alright for the price. I bought the E-Blue Cobra and gave it to my girlfriend when I didn't need it and it was alright when I used it.

Damn, I didn't know that was a thing. But they're exactly the same... I guess I'll find out exactly how rubbish it is in a couple of weeks. If it's so crap, i'll just give it to my brother.

Will do. I'll make a note of it. I read and watched some reviews on it, but I don't know how reliable they are.

Look on the bright side, it'll probably be better than a R.A.T. (don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I heard they aren't made well)

This looks pretty funky.
