Hi! i am looking for a gaming mouse.
i dont want many buttons.
i prefer light mice, around 100 gram is great.
gotta be durable since i am a heavy user.
preferable under 70$
nothing wireless! i dont trust them very much
and i got no inclination towards any brand. i just want something good!

Thanks in advance

Logitech G700 series

It can be used wired or wireless. It works GREAT either way. I've used a g700 for about 4 years now no problems (mine is basically the same but with less grip rubber). I'm not alone, two of my friends bought one within a week of using mine. I understand that having a bunch of buttons like on a razor where there are a dozen buttons all in the same place is confusing and frustrates your gaming. I had the same issues and having them spread out like this eliminates this problem plus each one feels slightly different to your finger.... which is also nice. The ergo layout is really nice I never press...

Personally I have the Razer Death Adder Chroma. I have had no problems and i enjoy the fact that it has very few buttons (only mouse 4 and 5 on the side). I know the Mionix Castor is a great mouse and the Rival 300 are two other mice that I know many people swear by. These are the mice I know of but I am sure there are many other options that people can provide.

I had the same issues and having them spread out like this eliminates this problem plus each one feels slightly different to your finger.... which is also nice. The ergo layout is really nice I never press any button by accident, nor do i notice the buttons on the side when I'm not using them as the thumb rest is below them slightly. The software for this mouse is great, I have profiles for every game I use it with as well as one for windows and PS shortcuts and 3 for Star Craft (one for each race). buttons can be set-up for a key press or macro. It works on a mouse pad, wood, inspection table or even a couch cushion or blanket when I'm chilling and relaxing (a little funky on clear glass). Also you can switch between free scroll on the mouse wheel and tactile scrolling which is nice. I just weighed mine and w/o the battery its 123g or about 5 sheets of paper more than you wanted, i doubt you'll notice and its about $20 under your budget. I checked w/o the battery (AA) since your using it wired, wireless w/ a battery it weighs 152g. One WARNING it's not going to be awesome if your left handed. I know, no mouse really is and half of all lefties switch to right anyway but as someone who is ambidextrous and does a bunch of stuff left handed I thought you should know.

PS it still has the original battery it came with in it (recharges in the mouse), It lasts through several hours of gaming, maybe about 4 - 5 hours ( haven't really thought about it before now ) but hooking it up wired is nbd as it comes with a decent cord and works with any standard micro usb (android) style cable (same as my phone not iphone lol). Basically when I'm gaming I plug it in to the big rig and the rest of the time the wireless usb thingy is in my little surface pro 3. Its almost always ready to go, I'm sure I've had to charge it before but i can't remember the last time it died in the middle of doing something.

I recommend the Logitech G502. I am personally using it myself and it's great. It's a really versatile mouse and can be used for FPS, MOBA or (to a certain extent) MMOs. I don't notice any acceleration when using it and it's ergonomics are great. I have small hands but I am still able to claw grip it. The Logitech Gaming Software to configure it is a little confusing at first, but once you configure it to your needs, you won't have to touch it and you can completely ignore it.
