Hey guys does anyone have suggestions for a mouse. I'de prefer to keep the budget at around 100$. I have avarage sized hands for a guy and usually claw grip mice. I like to game but prefer not to have a ton of buttons on the mouse. At the very least I would appreciate to know some good brands.

Rat 7 contagion, the contagion has a more robust laster. Logitech 300s,400s,500s. Corsair M65. Razer is good but overpriced. Choose whichever one looks best in your opinion. They are all great mouses.

Well ideally you want a mouse that ultimately has a flawless sensor while at the same time offer the added functionality that you need such as on teh fly DPI changes and side buttons while also however being extremely comfortable for you to hold for long periods of time.

 

As you don't like to have a tonof buttons on the mouse, mice with 2 side buttons include the Razer Deathadder, Zowie AM/ EC1 / EC2 EVO  and the newer Logitech G400.

 

These mice are all fairly cheaper than your $100 budget at around $40 and they all have prediction and acceleration free sensors. They all also have on the fly dpi changers, be it the DA and EC mice have it on the bottom while the G400 has it on the top, while also having no prediction.

 

There are also some other mice like the Corsair ones that I believe also share the same good sensors but I haven't really looked into them to say enough about them. One thing to note though, is that you should try to stay away from SteelSeries mice. While there headsets/kb/mousepads are pretty good, their mice have sensor issues, are expensive and don't last usually.

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

Got myself a asus rog gx1000 today, so far im loving it. I had a rat 7 contagion befor, the gx1000 is a claw mouse btw, damn hard to palm due to how small the back of it is. Only thing that confuses me is the software.....where is it ? I didnt get a CD in my box...... :(

I'm thinking about getting a RAT 7. I like that its made of aluminum and has a lot off custemizability, since I really don't know how a mouse is gonna feel id'e rather get one I can change the shape of. The mouse has a bunch of buttons but they seem spread out so there isn't 5 buttons all under your thumb.

Any mouse that you like can be used for gaming. More often that not people actually buy "gaming" mice to get their extra features for other actually productive things.

 

My preference right now for mice is G700s, G600 and M570 (i know this is a trackball).
