    Hey folks. My mouse is dying on me. Looking for a mouse to game with for $20 or less. Wired. Medium size. 10million clicks. Need at least 2 extra buttons. Main competitive game is Heroes of the Storm.

    So far thinking of the Red Dragon M601 or Zelotes T90. Other recommendations?

    Thanks!

    Save your money and buy from a name brand: Logitech, Zowie, Roccat, Razer, etc.

    I had a couple of cheap gaming mice that turned out great. One is the E-blue Cobra and the other is the Team Scorpion X-Luca. I got both from dealextreme a while back and both were under $20 each. I gave my e-blue cobra to a relative who games all day and its still going strong after over a year or so. My X-Luca still works great but I decided to go wireless.

    The Dragon 601 is almost perfect except for its dpi.

    The 601 and the zelotes t80 Are the most often bought they are both under 12 dollars actually

    I don't feel dpi over the t80 is needed for anything and I feel its very nice

    The weights would be nice but not necessary


    Your 20 gets a lot of players but if it's 10 dollars get the t80. 6200 dpi braided cord for 10 dollars. There is also havit to consider. Honestly all 3 of those cheap brands are great.
