Black Friday gaming mouse deals round-up — up your game with a new mouse on the cheap

Best Black Friday Gaming Mice Deals — (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)

Black Friday is the perfect time to pick up new tech — but instead of spending $$$ on a new CPU or GPU, why not buy something a little more wallet-friendly, like a new gaming mouse? This is actually one of the best years to pick up a new gaming mouse, as we've seen several companies release brand new versions that were, let's face it, more like updates. What that means is that you can find several fantastic gaming mice at a pretty deep discount — they're not the absolute newest versions on the market, but they're so good we're still recommending them over their successors.

Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro

Another one of our favorite Razer gaming mice is also on sale: the Basilisk V3 Pro, which is part of Razer's flagship Basilisk lineup. The Basilisk V3 Pro isn't as performance-focused as is the DeathAdder V3 Pro — this ergonomically-contoured wireless gaming mouse also features Razer's Focus Pro 30K optical sensor, which has a maximum sensitivity of 30,000 DPI and a maximum speed of 750 IPS, and can handle up to 70G's of force. It has 11 programmable buttons and 13 zones of bright, customizable RGB lighting, and it weighs 3.95 ounces (112g).

Corsair Scimitar Elite SE Wireless — (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)

The Scimitar Elite SE Wireless features 16 programmable buttons, 12 of which are on its movable side panel — you can move the side panel forward or backward, depending on your hand size and what's most comfortable for you. It sports Corsair's Marksman S 33K optical sensor, which has a maximum sensitivity of 33,000 DPI and a maximum speed of 750 IPS, and can handle up to 50G's of force. It weighs 4.02 ounces (114g), but let's face it — if you're looking for a mouse with 16 programmable buttons, weight is not your top priority. The Scimitar Elite SE Wireless also features a pretty solid battery life of 150 hours over its 2.4GHz wireless connection, which means you'll only have to charge it every couple of weeks (and that's if you're a serious gamer).

Orbitalworks Pathfinder — (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)

The Pathfinder comes with everything you need to customize it in a separate box, including four mouse humps, four left-side pieces, seven right-side pieces, three sets of side buttons, and spacers for adding more width/length to the mouse. There are thousands of different possible variations, but everything will end up giving you a mouse that weighs between 1.8 and 1.94 ounces (51 - 55g), which is incredibly lightweight even for ultra-light mice.

HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro — (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)

If you're looking for something modular, but not that modular, HyperX's Pulsefire Saga Pro is a wireless gaming mouse with just a couple of modular options (plus the ability to print your own pieces, coming soon). This lightweight gaming mouse also features five programmable buttons and up to a 4,000 Hz wireless polling rate, and it's currently on sale at Best Buy for $99.99 — $20 off its MSRP of $119.99.

However, if you're just looking for lightweight modularity, the Pulsefire Saga Pro is where it's at: this mouse comes with two mouse humps, two sets of primary mouse buttons, and two sets of side buttons, and it implements its modularity well — everything fits together nicely and feels sturdy, and we had no issues with creaking or parts moving around in our testing. All configurations will give you a weight of 2.54 ounces (72g) — lightweight, but not quite as light as the Pathfinder.
