Best Gaming Mouse?

A Silver

I have a Mad Catz Mous 9 which is great but when doing fine adjustments in games like KSP i find it rather inaccurate most likely as it is wireless. I like razer mice as they can sync with my keyboard but they are way too expensive. Any suggestions for around £40-60 with at least 4 programmable buttons?

Razer is not the mouse you want to go for, the best mice include that of the Logitech Mice, Steelseries, and the Zowie mouse series. I personally have a Zowie FK2 and love the mouse, check out these brands for mice and see what you like, all there sensors are very great, but I've just been noticing that razers mice sensors have been off since 2012/2013 as a mouse lover

My Corsair m65 Pro RGB has been good aside from the scroll wheel giving out on me about 6 months after purchase. Waiting on Corsair to respond to my RMA ticket. I mean so that is something to keep in mind, but it's still a great mouse.

Speaking of logitech, honestly I was going to go with a G502 RGB over the m65 but I liked the look of the m65 and the price of it over the G502.

Well, steelseries makes the best mice for your buck, especially for shooters, but ksp should do fine aswell.

Logitech hand feel is quite on point, whatever they are doing is perfect for the average consumer paired with choice rgb and great price ranging, its the same with Steel series too

The m65 feels nice too. But the Logitech is made with more plastic so I'm not so sure that it would've been just as free from the issue my m65 has.

not even close? i consider them the best for csgo, light and fast, not many buttons though... but they definitely last longer than razer mice :P

Well if you take into consideration Chinese mice. Or small brand mice with great QC you can find much cheaper for the same specs.

Logitech G502 ftw

I agree, if you are someone looking for a mouse with some extra buttons, a good sensor and shape the G502 is an ideal mouse, if your mainly playing games like KSP then the weight of the mouse won't be an issue. It's not a super heavy mouse but for competitive shooters it is on the heavy side.

Two questions, first can I use corsair link to control the lighting and second does it have a friction less scroll wheel like the g502?

The m65 uses CUE (Corsair Utility Engine) and uh... It's not frictionless  normally but in the case of mine with the scroll wheel being broken it is frictionless in some way. But of course it doesn't work then.

no, its not about "specs" with mice ;)

Its half buildquality, half ergonomics and fit, so it can differ for everyone

Well the G502 has a button you can press to essentially have the scroll wheel "unlocked" and scroll for a very long time.

yeah, in some cases I can see that being very useful. For me it really couldn't matter.

Thanks everyone for the input and I will go with the G502 as it has more programmable buttons and I like the idea of the friction less scroll wheel.

I like my Asus Rog Spatha. The corsair m65's are nice too.
