Hello all and happy Christmas! In the hunt for a reasonably priced gaming mouse. I'm looking at top end budget of £50 and I'm buying from ebay/amazon uk. I have searched for a bit and come up with these 3 -
Logitech g402 hyperion
gigabyte gm-xm300
steelseries rival 100

Anyone got any advice which one is best out of these 3? By that I mean hardware, sensors/chips all that mumbo jumbo I don't fully understand when it comes to gaming mice :) Any advice is greatly appreciated. I play games like battlefield/arma 3/gta 5/ witcher 3/h1z1. I just want a responsive accurate mouse with no delay/lag and good software so I can customize my dpi settings and so on. Im currently using a wireless mouse and I swear its awful!

The G402 out of those 3. The Steelseries one is their super economy model. The Gigabyte's not too bad, just not as good as the G402. The GB XM300 has 6400dpi max, but less buttons. And unless you use ridiculously high DPI the limit of 4000 on the G402 should be plenty. And it makes up for it by having 3 extra buttons over the GB XM300 and a touch more weight but the weight is a very personal preference so your desires may vary.


Edit:
Also I have the non-RGB version of the M65, its a great mouse, full weight worked great for me(you can remove weights), sensitivity is great too at 8000(I personally max out at 2k), but only has 6 buttons (the DPI buttons I kept as is). So I bought a SteelSeries Sensei Laser Gaming Mouse [RAW] for the...

I have no idea if Amazon UK adds VAT onto the price shown or if it's included in the price, but they have the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum RGB for 51.99 It's 1.99 over your budget but I have 2 friends that have the non-RGB version and they love it.

Also, the Corsair M65 for about the same price @ 49.99

Ok il have a look at that, I know a lot of the time its down to personal preference but its good to know other peoples opinions before you buy, it might look good on the outside but hardware wise it could be a absolute dud. Funny enough I did ask a few mates and they either have a cheap wired mouse or a very expensive one :) Not much help there. Il keep looking but if you guys were to pick one from the 3 I mentioned what would you pick? If you played a lot of arma 3 and fps :)

So I bought a SteelSeries Sensei Laser Gaming Mouse [RAW] for the extra non-dpi button. Its fine, but I don't like the lack of weight compared to the M65 or its scroll wheel. Moral of the story is.....I'd still be using the M65 if it had an extra button.
