Hello,

I am in search of a gaming mouse. Although I play a variety of games, I'm looking preferably FPS based with a high DPI for games like BF4, Crysis 3, etc.. Currently I'm using a mouse that came with my ASUS G75VW. It's a generic 5 button mouse with DPI adjust, but it's pretty cheap.

I've had my eyes on the Corsair M65, the Roccat Kone XTD, Anker 8000, and the CM Storm Reaper. These stood out to me because of the increase in buttons and programibility. Does anyone have any experience with these mice, or suggestions?

Budget isn't really an issue for me, however, I don't think it's necessary to spend more than $80 on a mouse.

Thank you very much!

Picking a mouse is based on personal preference, some like claw grip while others prefer the palm type. Best option would be list the type of mouse you want (looks like you already have) and read reviews on it, and then if you can go to computer shops that actually have it to take a look.
I have not used any of the mouse you've mentioned, but I have a Logitech G700, it has 13 programmable buttons with 5 built in profiles that can be individually adjusted to make the mouse used in different task like Profile 1 for gaming, and Profile 2 for Internet Browsing, and so forth.
Maximum DPI is up to 5,700 but it can be adjusted via the Logitech mouse software. This mouse can be used in both wired and wireless mode, and you can still use it...

ive never used any of those but my 2 favorite gaming mouses ive used are the razer deathadder and logitech g500. they feel great and dont have a million side buttons lol. not sure if you like more buttons on side but the g500 has 3 on side and a dpi adjust button that can be set to 3 different speeds and the deathadder has 2 buttons and both have programs where you nan map every buttons i believe and control dpi and such

Price of it is $99, but I got my during that time for $75 and it came with a free game.
