New mouse?

[JulianIZ]

I'm looking for a new mouse I want it to be weird and in the $45 and below range. Any good suggestions?

Weird mouses aren't hard to come by now days. Try MadCatz, their mouses are really weird.

Well considering I just made a spelling error i meant wired but okay

Here's a list of  some in your price range

From the list above:

 

The Roccat Kone Pure Military is a quality product. $34 is a cracking good deal for what you're getting. It's on the smaller side, though. If you're a palm grip with fairly large hands, it's probably not for you. For reference mine are about 20.5cm and I use a finger grip. Currently the most comfortable mouse that I have tried.

 

The G100s is pretty good if you;

1. Don't mind running the software in the background to have a custom CPI step (that isn't 1000, 1750 or 2500) and/or reprogrammed buttons

2. Don't use a very high CPI (maximum movement speed is reduced as the CPI increases)

3. Don't move your mouse faster than 2.8m/s

4. Can deal with no side buttons

5. Can tolerate the medium/high lift-off distance

 

The G303 is good if you can get on with the shape (A new mouse has been spotted at a CSGO tournament that appears to be a refreshed G303)

 

The Xornet II has a stupidly high lift-off distance and horrible firmware.

 

The Sentinel III is good for palm but slightly on the heavier side even without any weights included.

 

The Katar has an older sensor that performs better at lower CPI's like 400, 800 and 1600.

 

Raptor M30 has the same older sensor as the Katar but don't think the build quality is very good.

 

Torq X3 is good but also has the same older sensor as the Katar. Also has side buttons on the opposite side which might annoy you (I ripped them out of my X3).

 

Torq X5 has a scroll wheel bug that causes the webpage to jump back up when scrolling down.

 

G402 is good but Logitech basically lied about the CPI steps. Increments are 83.33 instead of 80 and, every so often, 2 steps bind to the same CPI (i.e 800 and 880 are the same CPI - 833.33). Not a huge problem. The lift-off distance is similar to the G100s, I think. Kinda medium-high.

 

Don't even bother with the RAT1.

 

Abyssus... Razer... Meh

 

Kiro. Lower end sensor.

 

Corsair Sabre RGB has bad click latency but that's probably not something you'll notice unless you're a crazy mouse lunatic on Overclock.net, like myself.

 

So, out of all the mice listed in the link above, those are the only ones I'd consider "gaming grade". You're best bet would be to find something comfortable. Even if the internals aren't the best, you'll more than likely perform better with something you grip comfortably. A case in point, I perform best with the Kone Pure Military and while the internals are good, they're not the best.

Best 3310 offering though, as they have customized the SROM, good FW and paired it with a MCU that isnt from the 80´s.
