Wired Gaming Mouse for HP Envy 17

I need a wired gaming mouse thats good for games and surfing the web and is CHEAP. Thanks in advance.
Also laptop bag suggestions would be nice too

 

Define "cheap" in more absolute terms. The Razer DeathAdder, for instance, is among the least expensive of gaming mice, but rather pricey in the grand scheme of mice in general. If you can afford it, I highly recommend it.

If you must go cheaper, the absolute cheapest gaming mouse I would recommend is the Logitech MX518.

 

No problems with my X5 which was 25 bucks from Amazon.
You should check em out.

 

u can get a dented box logitech g9x for $42 right now.

 

I have the Razer Deathadder, and I picked mine up for $50 cnd best investment on a mouse so far, great all around mouse, I have a sensitive setting for fps a medium for StarCraft2 and then a slower setting for general browsing and 3D work I do. It may seem a bit steep but it is well worth the money.

 

I will second this. The G9X is a fabulous mouse and comes with weight adjustment and an extra outer case for larger hands. It's one of the best mouses I've ever used.

 

That is definitely not a bad price for a G9x. I remember I paid just about double that for the original G9 around 2 years ago.

I'd say if you're trying to keep it under $50, either go for that G9x or the Razer DeathAdder, $44 new from Amazon:

Amazon.com: Razer Deathadder 3500 High Precision 3.5G Infrared Gaming Mouse: Gateway

 

SteelSeries Kinzu comes to mind: $35:
Amazon.com: SteelSeries Kinzu Optical Gaming Mouse: Electronics

 

I think it really depends on feel, I fell in love with the Deathadder because I have large hands and the Kinzu just felt too small, goto your local electronics store that sells mice (I know Bestbuy/Futureshop sell some gaming mice) and just try them out, or even just buy them try them at home then return them if you dont like it for another one.

 

I'd recommend either the Microsoft Sidewinder X5 or the Logitech MX518.

 

anything that like $25 an under? I'm not a hardcore gamer, i just need a wired mouse to play some fps games and browse the web because the trackpad isn't that great and the wireless mouse i have keeps running out of batteries.

 

Any modern USB mouse can do those things . . . my advice is to go to a local store, try some out, and buy the one that feels the best.

 

ok i'll do that but do you guys have any backpack recommendations because my envy 17 is 17.3" and the powerbrick is huge.

 

anyone?????

 

Your ENVY 17 is a very slim laptop, it will likely fit in any backpack advertised to fit a 17.3" notebook.

Best Buy and other computer stores usually stock computer bags, you can take your notebook there and try them out. One common backpack maker is Swissgear, usually their stuff is of decent quality.

HP has a bunch available online:
Over 16.9" Carrying cases | HP Official Store

Also take a look at some of the Alienware bags -- the ones I used were of nice quality.

 

thanks but since my envy is just a bit bigger than 17.0" (the screen is 17.3") will I need to get and 18" backpack or would a 17.0" fit the envy

 

If you go to the HP ENVY 17 configuration page:
HP ENVY 17 series | HP Official Store
. . . when you customize it, they list a number of backpacks/bags that work with it.

 

I can vouch for Swissgear, they make excellent backpacks, and your laptop will be all but bulletproof in them.

 

Check out Booq and Timbuk2. I've two Booq laptop bags and they're both excellent bags.
