Hey Irish. For your desired features I would look at these mice ( http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/mouse/#sort=a7&page=1&c=6,10,12,14,23,24,25&d=4000&h=1,3 ) I would recommend a specific one to you but to get a good quality mouse for your preferences and wanted features, you should look at these and decide which is best for you. One thing I can say is that you should definitely save up at least a little more to get one of these mice. I would personally be very interested in the Logitech G402 with its reliable Logitech build quality and warranty/support plus the subtle blue light that is awesome but won't be too OP

I hope this helped, I'll respond to any further questions you may have as soon as I can!!!

I don't know if you can do much better than THIS but it's a good place to start:

It's 3200dpi, but frankly a good quality mouse with all your specs and budget isn't likely.

This ones got 16400 dpi(way overkill),two profiles,13 buttons which is frankly too many for me to use properly in gaming#

also 16400 dpi,6 buttons which is really quite good for me,4 profiles.The fact that its red + something pisses me off cuz my setup is blue

8200 dpi,4 buttons which is ok,2 profiles

personally i like the middle one but i hate the colour although i can live with it because my keyboard has some red on it also,its also the cheapest one at 30 euro.the top one has too many buttons but has good colour and is 45 euro but i like it.the bottom one has not enough buttons and is 35 euro

What games are you currently playingg, and what is your preferred mouse grip type?

I wouldn't really recommend buying a mouse by the maximum DPI it can reach, due to the fact that many mice with very high DPI ratings (Just like how Razer mice advertise speeds up to 8000) usually accomplish this through interpolation which leads to pixel skipping and inaccuracies. Many of these mice may also have problems like hardware acceleration and prediction which can very well be huge problems in games like CS:GO.

im playing games like bf3,gta 5,cs go....These were just cheap mice i could find.Most of them have software where you can turn the acceleration off.from what i can tell the 13 button 46 euro one would be the best one.

The first and last mice both seem like a good deal, with both having pretty decent sensors and good mice switches both seem to definitely be a decent buy.

However, If you are not too picky about the amount of programmable buttons your mouse has, and you only want the best accuracy and performance for the price this may be something you may want to consider.

Great flawless sensor, decent build quality and a decent buy overall.

But in the end, those 3 mice I mentioned are all pretty decent and I'm sure you'd be satisfied with any of those if it fits your needs.

Edit: Did a little bit more research on the tecknet mouse, decent sensor and the buttons definitely seem well placed, I'd buy it over the first and the last mouse you mentioned.

Hey again! Sorry, I haven't been on my computer, but out of the three you posted I would go for the TeckNet. If not that, I would get the Anker, but, personally, the button placement, color customization, and clean aesthetic make it the obvious choice. Not to mention the 1,600 Amazon reviews with an average of 4.5 stars, that alone shows that it is a decent product for the price. Also, the DPI going up to 16400 may be considered a good feature, but it's more than likely not too great a sensor at that DPI but who goes that high anyways, they just put that DPI to grab consumers' attention. I hardly ever even go up to 3000 in most games, although in MMOs I guess that and the 13 programmable buttons could be quite useful

I did some more research and it seems like the MIONIX Avior 7000 may be something you may want to consider. Excellent on board sensor with great accuracy, 9 programmsable buttons with decent placement and BLUE BACKLIGHT (which seems like something you've been wanting)

Around 45EUR and a great buy overall.

ThatIrishGamer · Apr 18, 2015

kwa-e :

The Mionix is ok,but its got flaws that other people mentioned that would annoy me aswell,such as right side buttons or mouse turns off for 3 seconds when you switch profile,not to mention its 65 euro on amazon.

Now the technet apart from the colours(which annoy me to no end) doesnt actually have 1600 ratings,the ratings are for all of the mice on that page(there are 5).I personally like the utechsmart but if you say that its not good then i guess i wont get it.So if the Utechsmart isnt good and the colours of the Technet annoy me.I guess ill buy the Anker one.Thanks for you help and could you maybe help me choose a blue backlit keyboard?

I had this one in mind but its red on the bottom....

Keyboard isnt that important to me so keep it under 30 pounds.

kwa-e · Apr 18, 2015

The Mionix Naos is about 45EUR on amazon.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mionix-Avior-7000-Mouse-DVD/dp/B00HGKOD9G

And I'd say the issue you talked about with the Avior turning off for 3 seconds would be a minor one unless you need to actively need to switch profiles during gaming, as build quality is great and the sensor doesn't have any inherent problems.

The 3 mice all have the same sensor like, the Avago 9800, which seems to have inherent acceleration (fixed through firmware?) and mice smoothing, but if you aren't really picky about your mouse accuracy any of those mice would be a decent buy.

And for the keyboard, judging by the reviews and the price, it really isn't a bad option and it looks like you'll be satisfied with it.

I personally game on a logitech k100 PS2 and it's pretty decent no frills keyboard satisfies all of my needs.

The Mionix is 46 pounds which is 63 euro.I am picky about the accuracy because ill be playing fps games and need my aim to be spot on.What do you think about the 3rd option? The anker one,its only 35 euro,8200 dpi which is way more than enough(Its freaking blue) and i think its got pretty good sensors?Im set on that one so if its good in your opinion then ill pick it up,as for the keyboard i also like the perixx 1200 just hate the red at the bottom..Im so damn picky

@OP Why do you want it to be 4000 DPI at all to be fair? Do you think you will use the mouse at that sensitivity because I don't think anyone actually does that?

If you're picky about your mouse accuracy you may want to take a look at this list:

ThatIrishGamer · Apr 18, 2015

RCFProd :

I like the Logitech g402 although its quite expensive at 55 euro(also only 1 profile from what i can tell),if its considerably better than the Anker one then i guess ill get it

RCFProd · Apr 18, 2015

I wouldn't buy the Anker.

It's not a known brand and I can't tell you how the build quality of that mouse is and how it feels and performs in hand.

I recommend the Mionix Naos 3200 if It's in your price range. 3200 DPI is more than you'll ever need I think. A lot of competitive players don't even use that amount of DPI really.

ThatIrishGamer · Apr 18, 2015

RCFProd :

The Mionix is out of my price range.The ankers got 474 ratings with 4 1/2 avg so i doubt its not good and obviously people buy them.Some poeple complained of it feeling a bit cheap but what can i expect from a cheap mouse - also i use a 10 euro mouse at the moment so i doubt i will notice the cheapness of it.

RCFProd · Apr 18, 2015

I won't trust those reviews as I feel most of those who bought it haven't actually used a really good mouse.

If any trusted reviewer says It's a good mouse, I would understand.

However, Anker absolutely copied the Tecknet X9800. It's the same mouse. It's always thing like that with cheaper mice brands.

They copy each other. I wouldn't trust it but it might be a good mouse I guess. Just don't buy it based on the high DPI, as that really is pointless.

I have a good idea, why don't you try out the CM Storm Xornet. That's a good mouse just not with many buttons.

ThatIrishGamer · Apr 18, 2015

RCFProd :

Well thanks for your help but i think ill stick with the Anker.I havent used a good mouse either so this'll do for me,and i cant afford to even get the G402,anyway good day to you

RCFProd · Apr 18, 2015

Lol good luck.

ThatIrishGamer · Apr 18, 2015

RCFProd :

Besides this is my first gaming rig and its all budget,ill get my 150 euro keyboard and mouse when i build a 2000 beast

ThatIrishGamer :

Try and look at the Logitech G402 or the C.Y.B.O.R.G RAT 7 Gaming Mouse.

ThatIrishGamer · Apr 19, 2015

sora :

I may get the G402 but is it really worth extra 20 euro? for only 1 profile and less buttons?

RCFProd · Apr 19, 2015

The G402 is not that great.

The RAT 7 is a POS. Never buy anything from the pathetic Mad Catz. Really the worst company out there it seems like.

ThatIrishGamer · Apr 19, 2015

RCFProd :

I agree on the RAT 7 but I've seen alot of reviews on the G402(Including youtube) and it's actually a very good mouse
