What is a good, cheap mouse?

[PotatOS - Andrew]

I need a new mouse as my current one is failing, when I hold down the left click it will short in and out of actually clicking (very annoying when moving windows between monitors).  So, what would be a reliable, cheap (as low cost as possible, please) mouse?  I really don't need anything special, I've been using an old dell one that suited my needs perfectly, nothing like programmable side buttons or anything, just primary and secondary click, scroll wheel, sensor, the essentials.  Thanks!

G100s from Logitech?

Or if you don't mind having a great mouse that happens to have a few extra buttons, this Anker mouse is great. http://www.amazon.com/Precision-Programmable-Buttons-Cartridges-Switches/dp/B00AAQRNQ8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1418609822&sr=1-1&keywords=anker+mouse

 

Depending on what OS you have (I have had some trouble with Windows 8 with this mouse), my Logitech M500 would be just amazing for you.

Budget?

I'm gonna be biased so I'll recommend the Logitech G100s. It has omron switches and the sensor is pretty good.

Budget?

~$30

Or...

I have never had any real experience with them, but I would take a look at some redragon products. The company doesn't even have a website, you have to order them from a third party retailer, and their stuff is nearly always on sale no amazon. Most significant tech reviewers have not touched these products or similar cheap mice. You might end up with a cheap feeling mouse that is lacking in performance. You also might ed up with a great deal on a high quality, high performance mouse that meets and/or exceeds all expectations. It's a gamble you could take. I plan on picking one up within 2015, and I will be sure to leave a full review somewhere on the forums, maybe even on youtube (along with the dozens of amateur reviews of redragons that sound like the people were paid to make them)
