 Best gaming mice under $50. My top three favorite. If you're in the market for a new mouse that is decent for competitive gaming, but don't want to spend that much money, this video is right for you. I chose the $50 range because it's really the sweet spot and you can get a ton of value for your money. Two things before I list the mice. One is that the prices may fluctuate due to covid and other issues, but they're most likely going to be under $50 too. I'm not sponsored by any brand in this video, so in no order here are my top three mice under $50. The Razer Deathadder Elite is in almost every list I looked at and it was well deserved. As the classic Deathadder design, which has been around for more than a decade now, and has proven time and time again to be a good and comfortable design. The Razer Deathadder Elite fits well for palm users because it's pretty big, coming in at 5 inches long, 2.75 inches wide, and 1.75 inches high. The mouse is also in the heavier side of mice, due to its size coming in at 105 grams or 3.7 ounces. FPS players may need to use lighter mice, generally under 90 grams, but this mouse is still suitable for you if you have a medium to big hands, and if you have a higher sensitivity, due to it being heavier. The sensor is one of the best in the market, and it's the 5G optical sensor in partnership with Pixar, the maker of most high quality gaming mice sensors. Most reviews on this mice show that it aims accurately in games, and the sensor never had any unusual tracking patterns. The price of the Deathadder Elite was $70 in 2018, but due to its age, it's on sale all the time, and you don't rarely see people buy it for $20-$30. Of course, since Covid hit, many PC products have gotten more expensive, but the Elite is usually on sale under normal circumstances. The mouse has RGB lighting on the Razer logo, and the sides of the scroll wheel. You can adjust the colors with Razer's software, including the sensitivity, polling rate, and other text. You can also adjust the DPI with the two buttons on top of the mouse. You can also program what those buttons do in the Razer software. Speaking of buttons, there are two side buttons on the left side of the mouse, if you have the right hand version. I find them easy to click, they are bigger compared to other mouse buttons I used to have. Even with the big buttons, I hardly accidentally bump my finger into them. The Elite comes with a braided cable and feet that cover the whole top and bottom side of the mouse. The rubber grips also help if you lift your mouse up in a game a lot. Helps keeps better control of it too. The scroll wheel feels good and precise, but you have to press down hard to press it. I mean, what do you expect is Razer, a big, high quality company. The next mouse is the Steel Series Vivo 310, which is around $40 right now. Like the Razer Deathadder Elite, it has side grips and RGB on the scroll wheel and the mouse logo. It also has two side buttons, just like the Razer Elite. This mouse is slightly smaller, coming in at 4.9x2.4x1.7 inches in length, width, and height. The big change though is in weight. When it comes in at almost 20 grams later, at 88 grams. So this mouse is good if you have a low sensitivity. The shape of the mouse is thinner at the front and wider at the back. So unlike the Elite, where it's wide everywhere, the sensor is actually really good, called the TrueMove 3. This is actually the first one-to-one tracking sensor that Steel Series has put out and it has super low latency. This is because the sensor was designed for eSports gaming and they kept latency and accuracy in mind. The mouse doesn't have DPI buttons, but it does have two side buttons, which are mostly included in every decent gaming mouse. You can adjust the DPI and polling rate in Steel Series software. The cable is actually rubber, which I personally like more, because braided cables sometimes get worse quality over time. The last mouse I want to talk about is the Logitech G502 Hero. This mouse is $40. Although this mouse is shorter and thinner than most other mice, it still weighs on the heavier side of mice at a whopping 121 grams. Now that's not all, because you can add an additional 18 grams if you wanted, by using the included weights. It's still a usable mouse though, because it's not that far away from 90 grams, which is average. The mouse has a ton of buttons, 11 to be exact, 5 side buttons, and a DPI switch. If you play games with a ton of abilities like Fortnite or Overwatch, and you hate reaching for the keys on the keyboard, this mouse might be right for you. The RGB is also pretty noticeable, because you can kinda see the insides of the mouse. I think this mouse has the coolest design too. The hero sensor is where the mouse gets its name from, and it's no joke. It can go up to 16k DPI, and has the fastest frame rate processing at 400 IPS. It's also very precise and smooth, that you get the most consistent responsiveness in a mouse. Those are my top 3 mice under $50, but there are still some more that I will list. So my 2 runner-ups are the Razer Essential at $30, and if you're into wireless mice under $50, go for the Crosshair Harpoon Wireless, which are $40. What do you think about this topic?
