    I know that cheap +wireless+ gaming don't go too well together but I am open to any suggestions as long as their below 20 dollars. I need a wireless mouse because my desk is usually messed up and the wire always gets in the way when gaming. I would prefer to have additional buttons on the mouse but if that's asking for too much in 20 dollar mouse forget about that.

    For a wireless mouse that cheap, I'd just go pick up whatever from logitech or microsoft was at best buy, fit my hand ok, and try to get a back button on the side, but that's probably asking too much even. I would really recommend saving for something better, or trying to manage the wires so you can get a wired mouse, as you can get a lot more mouse for you money that way.

    If that's the case, you don't have to look for a mouse made specifically for gaming, because at that pricing point -- it's not gonna happen.

    If you're really willing to push it for the gaming part and don't care about quality and such, there is a 'gaming' wireless mouse at Amazon that is number 5 on the list. It gets the job done if you're not a heavy gamer but is sort of a knock-off in some aspects; definitely not something I would get for myself.

    Amazon.com : E-3lue E-Blue Mazer II 2500 DPI Blue LED 2.4GHz Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse : Keyboard And Mouse Sets : Computers & Accessories

    If you just need a wireless mouse and can get gaming done without the extra buttons, there are many wireless mice that are around $20 bucks. Browse Amazon.

    I Can find many wired gaming mice with extra buttons and not knockoffs less than $20 just don't know which ones the best
    Canada Computers | |

    Canada Computers | Keyboards, Mice, Tablets, Digital WhiteBoard | Cooler Master CM Xornet Wired Optical Gaming Mouse - Black (Retail) (SGM-2001-BLON1) | 2000dpi, 5 Buttons (G) (6 buttons)

    Canada Computers | Keyboards, Mice, Tablets, Digital WhiteBoard | Gigabyte Precision Optical 3200DPI Gaming Mouse w/Gold-Plated USB Connector (M6900) (P) (4 buttons)

    both cooler master and gigabyte are trustable companies in my opinion I bought lots of pc parts from both companies

    Some of them have adjustable dpi don't know what that means. The gigabyte and cooler master have really good reviews. Which one do you think is best and why?

    Look around ebay for cheap wireless mouses. I bought a $5 gaming mouse about 4 years ago. I spilled coffee on it so it doesn't work anymore. One of the most comfortable mouses I ever owned.
