affordable gaming mouse for fps

Hi i'm looking for some suggestion on which gaming mouse i should buy i was looking at the cyborg v3 mouse and the razer abyssus because they are affordable they booth has 3200 dpi so what do you guys think.

Many Thanks

 

If you can stretch your budget a little, the Razer Deathadder is well worth an upgrade, the Abyssus doesnt not come with any additional buttons unlike the Deathadder, and its Ambidextorous shaped which wouldnt be as comfortable and the Ergonomic Deathadder.

As for the R.A.T 3, i cant really say much about that mouse, other than its the lowest end R.A.T series you can get, which means your not really getting anymore gaming functions other than its unique looks. Unlike the really customizable RAT 7 and 9.

 

(1) Ignore DPI. DPI tells you absolutely nothing about the quality of the mouse. Once you get above a certain level of DPI that is "good enough" (around 2000dpi), then DPI measurement becomes irrelevant.


(2) For the ~$40-$50 price range you're looking at, the three mice you want to consider are:
* Logitech MX518 (about $30)
* Logitech G500 (about $55, $35 after rebates)
* Razer DeathAdder (about $45)

You really can't go wrong with any of those three mice. Some people will tell you that they have used and love Logitech mice (like myself). Other people will tell you that they have used and love the Razer DeathAdder (like Mastershroom).

The honest truth is that you can't go wrong with any of those three mice. It is like asking someone to choose between BMW or Mercedes Benz. There isn't one that is flat-out "better" than the rest.

 

The MX518 is a classic, if a bit dated by today's standards. Still, a very solid beginner optical mouse, and definitely the cheapest.

The DeathAdder's design is about as old as the MX518, although a couple years ago it was re-released with a newer optical sensor (3,500 DPI instead of the original 1,800). It's another one of those "classic" gaming mice, although a bit more current than the MX518. I've had both models and loved them.

I can't speak for the G500, never having used one, but it's the same shape as the MX518, which is pretty comfortable for me. Unlike the other two, it uses a laser sensor instead of optical.

Like kent said, these are all solid mouse choices. If there's a Best Buy store near you, walk in and have a look at their PC gaming accessories aisle; they often have several of these mice on display for customers to get a feel for. That's the best way to decide if a mouse is good for you or not. Having the highest DPI and lowest response time in the world means nothing if a mouse isn't comfortable for you.

 

I would say what I would normally recommend but seems like you're more on a budget so I can't (cough-G700-cough)

Definitely the DeathAdder or the G500. With Kent, as being a Logitech fan I would recommend the G500 as I have had one before and it's a pretty solid mouse on a budget. But so is the DeathAdder, as Shroom is a Razer guy of course the DA; having used both though, it's really a personal choice and comes down to how it feels in your hand.

So at this point, just go to Best Buy and play around with them. Really hold it in your hand to see which one feels better.

With your price range budget, it is definitely a throw up between the G500 and DA.

UNLESS! You are willing to throw in another $20 for a G700 and get it off ebay for $70. Which I would Highly recommend I'll tell you right now, that extra $20... will take you a long way in one awesome purchase, something you will definitely not regret

[I do not work for Logitech. I just speak the truth and stand by their products]

 

well thank you all for your help and as for romiyo i was talking about the saitek cyborg v3 the old model not the R.A.T 3

 

+1 for the G500. it's helped me out, so much, in my Rift PvP'ing that i'm considering picking up the G700. there are occasional deals for the G700 that make it as low as around $50-60 range.

 

so after doing some research and taking my budget into consideration these are the only mices i can afford:

Gigabyte GM-M8000(4000DPI)
Mionix Saiph 3200(3200DPI)
Logitech MX518(1800DPI)

I've also read something about sensors used in these mices i think the gigabyte uses the AVAGO 6090 and the Mionix uses the CYONS1001x i have no idea which one is better so if you guys could kindly explain annd tell me which one i should get

Many Thanks

 

here's my opinion on it

Never heard of mionix. Look on their website, they got an Awards section. They have no awards, just good reviews from users. Those aren't awards I was looking for like Best Gaming Mouse of the Year 200* from PC Magazine or... Top 3 Gaming Mouse of the Year from so and so. I don't know, with me, my motto is; if you never heard of it don't buy it.

Gigabyte has always put out good products. But aside their GPU's and Mobo's, the M8000 is a solid mouse IF, you don't get the disconnecting problem. Seems like a common problem is just premature issues. LED goes out on the DPI.. random disconnections from the computer even though the mouse is plugged in.

In the end, it always come down and back to Logitech because they make solid and good products the 518 is a milestone for Logitech as it was the second generation of gaming mouse they produced after the g500 being their first. Although the dpi is lower, it is adjustable which what matters. I had one before and I can say as a first gaming mouse; you can't go wrong with it

 

Avago makes the best sensors. Specifically, the sensor that hardcore mouse nerds like the most is the Avago S9500 sensor (found in the Logitech G500, G700, and G9X).

I have used a LOT of mice (probably over 12 "high-end" or "gaming" mice in the past 18 months), including some lesser-known mouse brands like Cooler Master and Thermaktake. I would highly recommend that you stick with well-known companies that specialize in making mice (Logitech, Razer), for two reasons:

(1) Support - You need to know that the company you buy from will continue to create mice, so that you can get repair / replacement service in the future in case you need it. It doesn't help you if you buy an awesome mouse from a company that goes out of business 1 year later, or sells their mouse / peripherals business and doesn't provide support anymore.

(2) Software - the mouse configuration software is almost as important as the mouse itself. You want to buy from a company that has REALLY good mouse configuration software, like Logitech or Razer. Madcatz (Cyborg RAT mice), Thermaltake, CoolerMaster, all had poor configuration software tools, and it makes a HUGE difference towards the ownership experience.

 

+2

well put, that's the bottom line. Nothing else to say. Simple as that.

 

Logitech is having their Fathers Day sale now.

$70 G700

 

I got the Coolermaster Sentinel Advance for $38.

It's a palm grip mouse, 5600DPI, 8 buttons, replacement skates, cool LED's and an OLED display with onboard memory. If you can get some around that price (this wasn't evenon sale) then I would recommend that.
