Intel Core i3 4150 @3.5GHz - ASRock H97M Anniversary - Kingston Fury HyperX Black 8GB DDR3 @1866MHz - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 G1 Gaming 2GB GDDR5 - EVGA 500W 80+ Certified - WD Caviar Blue 1TB - WD Caviar Blue 160GB - Lian Li PC-50 - Linux Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS - Acer P221w 21.5" 1680x1050 60Hz - Kingston Fury HyperX Clouds - Razer Deathadder 3.5G - CM Storm Quickfire Rapid w/ Cherry MX Blues

Well the corsair m45 is 45. I don't think you have a lot of great options below that.

Is this good? Is it compatible with Linux?

Steelseries Kinzu.....40 bucks I think. Great gaming mouse

Okay. Is it compatible with Linux? EDIT: I might go for this. It's only $30.

CM Storm has some good mice you can most often find under $40, but availability depends on the region: Spawn (hard to find in Europe), Alcor (hard to find in Americas) and Recon (should be easily available globally). You might still be able to find Logitech G400s and Corsair M40 somewhere. Since they both have been replaced by new versions they usually are below $40. They are still amazing mice even though they are older versions.

I actually saw Deathadders sell for $30 on eBay. My father has one, and I love it. I'm going to save up and buy one of those. Thanks for the suggestions everybody!

I've had a Deathadder die on me straight out of the box at Best Buy. Razer's build quality has been notoriously crap in recent years.... Don't go for that. 

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

My father owns one and it's great? He's owned his for a couple years.

Older Razer stuff isn't as bad.

I'm talking about the older blue one.
