Hey guys, I was planning on getting a new mouse, but I need your thoughts on which one is cheap but still awesome at the same time? I was thinking like the ones with the buttons on the side, maybe 2 or 12, but I'll most likely get one with 2.

I've been over to Razer's and SteelSeries' sites and I liked a lot of them, but if I were to get a moderately priced one the Razer's are a no.

Please tell me what mouse you think is great.

I have a razer deathadder 3.5g and I love it. I got it on sale for 25. The sad thing is that most of the products aren't on sale. The deathadder is very comfortable and has a small click sound when u click so u know it works. The only problem with the old editions is that if you have sweatly hands, the sides might get alittle sweaty and u might be faced with a loose grip but the 2013 edition has rubber sides. I have heard the naga is really nice for moba/arts games with the side buttons but I have never tried it. The razer mamba= an upgraded wireless deathadder pretty much and the rest im not sure of. I've never tried steelseries so I can't give you my take on them. I ggot a friend who has the RAT 7 mouse and he absolutly loves it but its more fps one but it will still work

TLDR- Deathadder is an amazing daming mouse if you can find a deal on it.
GL with finding the right one for you :)

@AncientHero, how did you get it at 25? Damn I wish I was around when that sale was on.

Thanks for that, it quite helped me a lot.

It was a small seller online that I was told about but there was $5 shipping. The website was dailysteals.com if you were wondering. The thing I love is that it is a large mouse and that it curves right around your hand and the right and left click buttons are grooved so its comfortable for along duration of gaming. It's all about finding one that you like the most.

Thanks all, but I think that dailysteals site is pretty good, but too bad they currently aren't selling mice.

My favored mouse at the moment.

Mouse:Logitech G700
Pros:
-8 Programable mouse keys all in easy reach. Four of them by your thumb and 3 by your index finger and one which I often don't use that is by your middle finger. (When I do use that one it is for shifting through accounts which you can set up)
-Larger than most other mice but not so large that my hand can't fit on it correctly.
-Texturized so that if your hands get clammy it won't slip.(Not so ruff that you cut your hand or something though)
-Easy to use software for accounts.(I use 3 accounts when I play WoW so that I get 21 different hotkeys for abilities)(7x3=21 not counting the one used to shift accounts :)
-Durable.(I occassionally click quite hard on my mice when playing DotA or WoW;weird right?)
-Cord OR Wireless! It comes like that for free don't worry! When using the cord it charges the mouse which is helpful. No batteries needed!
Cons:
-You may not like that it is larger than most mice.
-Price. $99 when I bought it about a year ago.(It still hasn't changed!)
-Software required.(Annoying to some people who prefer the $10 easy to go mouse from Walmart in which case you shouldn't be asking about Gaming Mice haha)

Overview:This mouse is a great investment for anybody looking for a gaming style mouse. It is very comfortable for long time gaming. I have currently had it for a little over a year and the writing on it hasn't even dulled. (I play for about 2 hours a day most often). It not only looks great but also feels great. The texturized part of it feels really nice in your hand! Even more than that it is durable which is what most people are looking for. You don't want a mouse which is going to **** out on you in 3 months or 6 months. This mouse will last you a nice LONG time. My friend got his the day it was released and it still looks brand new and works perfectly. The pros highly outweigh the cons!
