Mouse recommendations?

Hi, I'm looking for a mid-sized $67 mouse for gaming. I don't really care what it looks like, I just need it to perform well... I was checking out the Dell Latitude, but I don't have much experience, so I'm not sure. Thanks.

Not trying to start a whole new thread here, just throwing this out there 🙂

I’d say a mouse up to about $133, though honestly, I wouldn't drop more than $117 on one.

My top picks are the Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury—mostly because I used to have the Logitech G400 and I’m currently rocking the Logitech G400s

Another one on my radar is the MODEC Volcano GMX4. I see people all over this forum raving about it, plus I saw that PC Mag named it a Best Buy.

So, besides my two favorites, is there anything else actually decent for under 400, or maybe even $117?

I'm looking mainly for gaming gear, and I only shop at local US retailers!

The other contender is the MODEC Volcano GMX4; I see people on this forum praising it, and I noticed Bug called it a Best Buy.

So, aside from my two favorites, is there anything else decent under 400—or rather $117?

Mostly gaming stuff, and I only buy from local US retailers.

I moved from the Logitech MX518 to the Logitech G400, then the Logitech G400s, and finally picked up the Logitech G402—which is just terrible.
Some people managed to adjust, but for me, it's a total disaster; the only thing that stayed somewhat similar is the shape, but that sniper button by the thumb is irritatingly placed.

Anyway, if anyone reading this finds a solid replacement for the Logitech G400s, please let me know. x

My G502 works like a charm... besides, you can just remap that sniper button to whatever you want.

I can disable it, sure—but I can't physically remove it.
I'll take another look at the G502, thanks.

Which mouse should I pick up for my home office setup? I just need the basics—two buttons and a scroll wheel—but it needs to be comfortable for long hours, ergonomic, smooth, black, and quiet. Doesn't have to be wireless, budget is around $67. Right now, I'm stuck using some cheap Genius model from a local corner store that feels terrible to use.
I'll be ordering through CNN, thanks in advance.

I've been messing around with the Logitech MX Anywhere 2 for about a month now. Picked it up on Amazon during Black Friday for around $38... pretty decent deal. The biggest win for me is definitely how it tracks on basically any surface you throw it at. It’s got the usual left and right clicks, two side buttons, and one extra button right behind the wheel. Speaking of the wheel, it actually has two modes—standard scrolling or that infinity scroll thing...

If I had to nitpick, it doesn't feel quite right in my hand—wish it was just a tiny bit bigger, honestly. Also, the clicks aren't exactly silent... they can be a bit loud. You can connect it via the USB receiver or >. It doesn't work over >, which is another little downside if you ask me. It has a built-in battery that you can't swap out, charges via microUSB, and they claim it lasts up to 40 days on a single charge...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice on the best mouse I can pick up for around $350-$133 at Best Buy. I'm specifically targeting them because I've got a coupon for $33 off, but I need to make sure the price doesn't dip below $100 or the discount won't trigger.
I've been eyeing the Razer Basilisk Essential for a bit, but I'm wondering if there's anything out there that actually performs better.
Cheers.

Ended up grabbing the Basilisk.

I need some mouse recommendations for working on massive 4K monitors—specifically a 43" beast.

I’ve been using my old Logitech MX518 for ages and it was fine until it started stuttering on me recently, so I'm pretty sure the thing is just dying.
I still have a Logitech M525 and a Logitech M545 that I use with my little 15" laptop, and those feel great—actually, they fit my hand way better since the MX518 feels huge. But the issue is trying to use them on a 43" 4K screen; they just don't cut it. It feels painfully slow—not sure if it's a DPI issue or what—but it takes forever to move the cursor from one side of the screen to the other. I spend my day in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro, constantly multitasking, and this lag is driving me absolutely insane.

I'm looking for a wireless mouse that’s shaped more like the M525 or M545 rather than that chunky MX518. It needs to be precise and actually move at a decent speed across a giant 4K display. Most importantly, it has to be available in local US stores—so nothing I have to hunt down on Amazon, eBay, or random overseas sites; I want something I can just pick up locally. Price isn't my main concern—I'd prefer to save a few bucks, but if spending more actually gets me the performance I need, then fine...

So far, I've found these options:

Logitech MX Master 2S

Logitech MX Anywhere 2S

Logitech MX Vertical

Logitech M705

Logitech M590

Has anyone here actually used these? Would any of these work for my setup, or should I be looking at something else entirely?

Anyone got a recommendation for a wired mouse that uses a USB Type-C connection instead of the standard USB-A?

Uvi gear lust vs. Glorious Model O 🤷

Why pick one over the other? Is there actually a difference, or is it just hype? I guess kids are watching both, but I still want to check things out myself. They seem to be leaning toward the first one, and I’m thinking the same since it’s cheaper 😁, but if it isn't any better, I don't really care. I just want to buy something that actually works so I don't have to deal with any headaches later on 😁

Has anyone here actually spent some time using vertical mice? I’m curious about what it really feels like in the hand—any honest feedback on how they hold up during a standard workday versus when you're trying to get some gaming in?

Here’s an example of one:

If you're looking for a "silent" mouse, I’d suggest picking up the Logitech M220; I've been using one for quite a while now and it's served me pretty well.

I gave one of those things a shot and honestly, the sensation is great. It definitely cuts down on hand fatigue if you're spending most of your day glued to the mouse...

Hey there,

I was wondering if anyone might have some mouse recommendations, maybe something that isn't strictly for gaming, with a budget under $117? I have pretty large hands and tend to use a claw grip, so I guess it’s mostly important that it feels ergonomic since I’m working on my PC all day, though I do play some FPS games in the evenings and on weekends too.

What does "not gaming" mean?

So I finally picked up the Logitech M350 Pebble. Seriously, this thing is a game changer. Look, I’m over the whole hassle of constantly plugging and unplugging a USB dongle—plus, my MacBook doesn't even have any USB ports to speak of.
I just needed a solid Bluetooth mouse that wouldn't drive me crazy.
The Pebble is great because it gives you both Bluetooth and the classic wireless receiver option.
It’s super slim, so it doesn't create some weird bulge in my bag, and honestly, that magnetic cover idea? Genius. I was a little skeptical at first, but it works perfectly.

Highly recommend it—especially if you're rocking a small laptop and tossing it around in a tiny bag like I do.

So, I picked up this mouse today based on a recommendation, and honestly, I'm beyond happy with it. It just runs so smoothly—I guess you could even call it perfect. Then again, I’m not exactly a power user or anything; I mostly just browse the web and call it a day, no gaming or anything like that. But for what I need, this thing is brilliant. If you just want something reliable for everyday use that's smooth and easy to program, I'd say it's a solid choice.👍

Yo, just dropping this here so I don't clutter up the boards with another thread. I'm on the hunt for a solid mouse with at least 3200 DPI. The dealbreaker is that I only want the basics—left click, right click, scroll wheel, and a DPI button. I don't want any of those extra side buttons; they're totally useless to me. I've been rocking a SteelSeries Kinzu Optical Mouse V2 since like 2015, and honestly, it’s been a tank, but the right click finally just bit the dust. Everything I've managed to dig up online seems to be loaded with side buttons I have zero use for. Also, it absolutely has to be wired. Thanks!
