OK thanks, yeah I've had a look at that too, but can't seem to find out if there are mac drivers available?

 

I believe OSX has a universal USB Mouse Driver that makes any mouse work to its most basic format. With this mouse there appears to be no required software for it. You just need to click the buttons on the mouse itself to adjust the DPI internally. So it should be plug-and-play ready basically.

 

If you were to buy a mouse from Razer for instance, without their Synapse 2.0 software, changing your DPI and various settings aren't possible since their mice don't have buttons dedicated to changing DPI, unless you macro it of course.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a budget mouse to use with a Macbook Air. I will mostly be using it for some basic photoshopping and a little bit of CSGO. Yes I know it's a mac, but it's just for a bit of deathmatch when I'm bored anyway (I play comp on my desktop). My budget is around $25-30 AUD, and I will be probably buying from here: https://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=258_697_698&vk_sort=1

I would like it to have mac-supported drivers that I can adjust the DPI on and have thumb buttons. I don't mind if it's wired/wireless. I know it might be a bit much to ask for at this price point but I would appreciate all your help. Thanks!

The Cougar 200M Optical Gaming Mouse Black/Orange looks nice

Seems solid for the price.
