Looking for an inexpensive mouse with smooth/dual mode/hyper-fast/unlocked scrolling.

My price range is somewhere around 50 CDN (the less the better) and all I need it to do is have:

 

  • At least 2 superfluous buttons (forwards and backwards will do)
  • smooth/dual mode/hyper-fast/unlocked scrolling (as seen on the g502) and
  • reasonable ergonomics (for me that means larger and in a similar shape to the 502).

Extras that would be appreciated but not required are a laser censor, more buttons, better accuracy and dim or non existent lights. It does not need to be a moused aimed specifically at gamers though that will be one of its primary purposes and does not need a dpi button (as I rarely use it on the one I have now anyways). I really just wanted a new mouse as my currents cable is now mangled and I am still in awe from the genius that is smooth scrolling. I made  this post as im fairly clueless about mice and I cant seem to find mice with this particular feature very easily.

Look at Logitech gaming mice. They have good cheap ones

Can you suggest one within my price range? Please keep in mind that the Canadian dollar isnt where it once was.

For that price it will be hard to find a mouse with everything you want

Perhaps youre right. Funny thing is I could have sworn I actually saw the performance mx at half price earlier today searching. Guess its back to what it was now though. Should have springed.

 

Edit: Found 1. Visually unappealing but fits most of the criteria.
