Get gaming with budget Mice

No PC gaming enthusiast is ever going to be content with a typical  5.38 $ mouse from the local store. He’s looking for something that’ll give him the edge over the rest when it comes to online multiplayer games. When someone decides to spend 896.70 $ on a high-end gaming rig, it’d be wrong to skip out on a decent mouse. While mice start from as low as a 1.79 $ and go right up to 143.47 $ and more, the sweet spot for a good gaming mouse is between Rs 17.93$ and 44.84 $. Here are a few such options that should get you on your way.


GiGabyte m6800

There used to be a few good gaming mice under the 17.93 $ bracket. The Logitech MX310 used to be popular while the MX518 was new, but since then, very few manufacturers have been able to offer good performance, let alone features and design, at that cost. The most unlikely brand has an offering though. The Gigabyte M6800 happens to be a solid performer and a decently sized mouse for gamers. Priced at around 12.55 $, it’s easily one of the cheapest performance mice around.




Logitech mX518

The Logitech MX518 is legendary. It’s more than four years old now and it’s still got a ton of firepower.  There have been some revisions and changes since the first model launched, but the recipe hasn’t change a lot – a 1800 DPI sensor, a fancy looking design with great quality click buttons, DPI switches, an ergonomic design, and solid build quality. If you’re looking for a newer model with similar traits, look out for the Logitech G400. It’s almost identical in terms of size and ergonomics, but has an upgraded sensor. Although not officially released in India, you may be able to find it on some online stores or with some retailers.

Razer DeathaDDer 3.5G

Razer has been in the gaming mice market for more than a decade now. Their DeathAdder mouse has gained a reputation for being one of the best and popular mice for competitive gaming. The DeathAdder 3.5G, like the newer MX518 mouse, is updated with a new sensor while the rest of the mouse has stayed exactly the same for a while.

RAZER ABYSSUS

The Abyssus is at the base of the product pyramid from Razer. It offers a good amount of performance in a simple body and a simple set of buttons. For most gamers, this is more than enough. The price of  26.45 $ makes it as affordable and lethal as the MX518, although it isn’t as solidly built.



COOLER MASTER SPAWN

The Cooler Master Spawn is the weirdest looking mouse of the lot, but it’s quite a performer and the comfort level of the mouse is pretty impressive. Priced at just under 35.87 $, it’s a great purchase if you have a large palm and use the palm grip. It uses a 3500 DPI sensor, supports 1000 Hz refresh rates and supports storing of profiles in the internal memory.
