Hi! I was originally planning on buying a Logitech G402 which is $45 right now on Newegg but after I bought my Corsair k70 I have been a little stingy with my money and I am looking for a cheaper (maybe $10 or so cheaper) alternative to it. If there isn't anything that has somewhat comparable quality and features as the g402, I'll just go with the g402 but I don't want to spend $50 if I don't have to.

Honestly that's an amazing deal. I can't think of anything better than that for the money.

okay. Maybe I'll wait a bit till I have more disposable money. I got a k70 for $60 last week so I don't want to be spending too much money on PC Gaming especially since I am pretty casual about it.

The Corsair one looks good. Between the 2 which would you say is the best?

I have used the G303 in a store and I was really impressed with it.  At first look the shape was a put off, but using it was a completely satisfying experience. 

 

I have not tried the Corsair one, but it is under $30.  Even if it only lasts a year, that is not too bad.

ok, I'll check them out and see if I can test them somewhere.

If you decide to spend more, DEFINITELY get the G502. I'd say that it's the best mouse I have ever used. I had a Steel series sensi raw before and I went to friends house and tried his mouse and instantly fell in love and bought one next day. Then I brought it over to another friends house who had a nice zowie mouse, then they fell in love with it aswell and got one. I've had mine for almost 2 years now and it's held up very strong.
