Getting my boyfriend a gaming mouse except i dont know anything, help needed

[-]

HankThrill69420@reddit

If he often complains about third party software, don't get a razer or asus mouse.

[-]

TheWinterRecruit@reddit

The Logitech G502 is hands down the best mouse I've ever used

[-]

quickbaboon99@reddit

Logitech G305

and if not that one then Razer DeathAdder V3

[-]

Hearth-Traeknald@reddit

I've been using the g305 wireless for the better part of the last decade, and I've never felt the need to upgrade. It's perfect.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Ive heard good reviews about g305! But if he was playing valorant, would you say a wired or wireless mouse is better for him?

[-]

The difference in latency between wired and wireless (2.5ghz dongle) mice nowadays is so minute that it genuinely comes down to if hes ok with changing batteries once a year or not. It's 1ms vs 1-2ms, while human reaction time is ~180ms. At that level of latency optimisation, you'd be looking at your cables and monitor first

I know from my experience at least that having a cord whipping around while playing and bunching up because your cable organizer doesnt retract fast enough is far more annoying than getting a small red LED two weeks before you have to swap the battery out for a fresh one you have right next to you in a drawer

[-]

FullmetalEzio@reddit

oh you have to change the batteries of the wirless mouse once a year? always used wired but i might be tempted to go full wireless soon

[-]

Matthais@reddit

It's the extreme option, but I have a Logitech G502 Lightspeed with a second-hand PowerPlay Mat I got off ebay, so I literally never have to think about charging.

[-]

digitalsmear@reddit

Most mice have lithium ion rechargables now and you plug it in, or put it on a charging stand to recharge. The battery in my Razer Basilisk lasts a pretty long time (more than a week) using it for gaming and work about 4~ hours a day averaged out.

[-]

Cute_Customer420@reddit

i have a g305. it uses just one battery but it usually starts blinking red after 1.5-2 months of use. depends how much you use it i guess

[-]

windowpuncher@reddit

Depends a lot on the battery. If you get a disposable lithium battery it'll last a hell of a lot longer than a rechargeable NiMH. I still prefer rechargeable though.

[-]

smokinbbq@reddit

For Logitech they are that good. Other ones, you need to worry about. For example, a Bluetooth will chew through batteries monthly easily, since it's a much higher power draw, but Logitech with their little dongles, are absolutely amazing for not using a lot of power. M705 on my laptop, and I can't even remember the last time I changed batteries.

[-]

Hearth-Traeknald@reddit

Yeah I genuinely cant remember the last time I swapped batteries, and when you do it's literally just sliding off the backplate and reloading you could do it in like 3 seconds if you're practiced enough and have the other battery ready

[-]

Combicon@reddit

I'm kind of sad that I've not yet seen anyone trying to do tactical mouse battery reloads, like they were gun magazines or something.

[-]

SaltyBalty98@reddit

I've been a battlefield player for well over a decade, with newer titles being more fast paced, the occasional cord wirring and catching on surfaces drove me nuts, went wireless, charge once a week, no more issues, no noticeable latency whatsoever (I remember using wireless 20 years ago and those were plenty usable for gaming back then), unfortunately, a recent hand injury made it so the palm hump on the mouse (logitech g900) is now uncomfortable.

[-]

Zirdee@reddit

Nothing you say works that way. But you're still right nowadays wired/wireless are more or less the same in terms of latency. Your numbers 1 and 1-2ms are pulled out of your ass in your context. But to some degree... right numbers.

Sensor in your gaming mouse reports movement between 0.125ms(8000hz) and 4ms(250hz) maybe 8ms(125hz highly unlikely). Now "the medium" that movement is sent to the computer can introduce latency. 2.4ghz can be faster than wired with modern gaming mice. Why? Radio wave -> light speed(literally) Wired -> electricity inside coppercable(not the speed of light)

"Can be faster" means literally "can be".

What comes to reaction time is true but a mice reportin every 4ms vs 1ms is clearly noticeable. Below 1ms i have no clue since I don't have a mouse that goes below that.

Every "latency" is added on top of eachother btw. Frametime, monitors response time(not gtg thing but visually relevant, not in terms of "feel"), mouse latency, etc.

Tl;dr Close enough numbers, wrong context. Reaction time has no role here.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Ooh alright, thank you for ur review!

[-]

therealbman@reddit

Most wireless gaming mice come with an extension cord for the dongle so you can stick it up behind your monitor, or anywhere else close to the mouse. That cuts out as much of the wireless “problem” as you can. Personally, I find the freedom of movement wireless gives you makes it worth it for any extra delay it causes.

[-]

Euphoric-Pin3506@reddit

I play similar games wireless latency is negligible especially when you factor in the wired mice sometimes get annoying because the wire, but this also depends on sensitivity and setup I use a low sensitivity and have good mouse space

[-]

Bobby_bo1@reddit

I have the g305 and played a lot of valorant with it, very nice mouse

[-]

CarlGend@reddit

The main thing to keep in mind wrt a wireless mouse is the location of your router/wireless internet hub. If it is within a few feet of where the mouse will be used, the signals will interfere with the mouse and make it occasionally lose connection, which can be very frustrating. Ask me how I figured that out

[-]

Snoot_Boop_Snek@reddit

If you have cats get the wireless one, the cables are irresistible to them

[-]

TitanTowel@reddit

Check the under side of the mouse. He'll likely prefer a mouse with the same type of pads (skates). The skates affect how smooth it feels to move the mouse.

[-]

qedic@reddit

I use the g305 for everything, perfect mouse that you have to pop a new AA battery into every 6-12 months. He'll love it.

[-]

visor841@reddit

Wireless is fine as long as it's not bluetooth-only.

[-]

Tarirurero@reddit

Don’t get G305.

That thing’s scroll wheel gives out one way or another in like 3 months which is a well known problem of that specific product.

Mine went double-tapping and that’s why I’m using DAV3 currently (for more than 2 years without running into any troubles).

[-]

baverdi@reddit

Mine got the double left click issue. Only had it like 2 years.

[-]

Hearth-Traeknald@reddit

I've had it for 7 years now with no issues, maybe it's a region exclusive thing

[-]

BlastingStink@reddit

My g305 is like 5 years old and I've also had zero issues.

The plastic on it is smooth and shiny now from how much I've used it, lol.

[-]

White_Wolf_11@reddit

I would never recommend a razer product. Their software is so ass. Half the time it doesn’t work, and it uses up an insane amount of resources.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Would u say that they are quite light and easy to hover? I may consider getting the razer mouse

[-]

Mago515@reddit

I would go with the Logitech mouse. I’ve been using razor death adder mice exclusively since I began of gaming. The software issues people are talking about are real and a huge pain. I just swapped mice this year to the G305.

I’ve used death adder 2, 3, and the “essentials” model.

[-]

Holiday_Hurry_5596@reddit

I (and two friends of mine) have the razer death adder v3 pro for like 1,5 years now and we didn’t have a single problem. Maybe we got lucky or the software problems aren’t as common as you think.

[-]

Mago515@reddit

To be fair I have zero issues with the mouse. But when Razer synapse is running at all my keyboard misses key presses. So I uninstalled the program and now I can't customize anything about my razer gear. It all works perfectly without the software running but I lose a part of the reason I have light up keyboard/mouse.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Ohh i see, ive seen other redditors in this thread recommending me the g305 mouse but for some reason its so difficult sourcing this mouse in singapore..

[-]

ItZ_Jonah@reddit

might have been solved by now, but keychron has some really solid offerings for mice, ive been using a m7 for a few months now might have better availability in singapore as theyre Hong Kong based iirc.

[-]

Ashankura@reddit

Idk if logitech has gotten better but last time i had logitech hardware their software was as shit as synapse

[-]

datwarlocktho@reddit

If you think their software is bad then I'd imagine its improved, Ive been using my g305 for the last year and only issue I had was once I had to rebind my settings for the side buttons. Thats it.

[-]

realJoeKorea@reddit

Please do not get a Razer mouse. I've been a Razer fanboy for many years, however in the past 5 years their quality has gone way down hill. I've had to warranty replace a modern Razer keyboard 3 times and a mouse twice. I was about to replace the keyboard again, but then the key that stopped working randomly started working again. So bizarre haha.

I've never used Logitech mice, but it seems everyone likes them on here so maybe go with that!

[-]

KlausKoe@reddit

The g305 isn't light. 100g with standrad AA and about 90 with a lithium AA

I just discovered Mambsnake 2 which is just 41g. Even the Logitech Superlight si 60g.

I ordered a Mambasnake 2 for my son for about €40

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Ooh, how did u hear abt a Mambasnake 2? Does ur son play fps games? Id like to hear abt the mouse performance

[-]

KlausKoe@reddit

Not sure how I found it. My son wanted a light one and saw anotherone. I looked it up and it had horribel reviews. I am not even sure what I was googling for but the 41g and 40 bucks caught my eye. He's is playing shooters but also other stuff. The MS 2 is not for sweats, that seems to be the MS 5.

It will arrive tomorrow.

It misses some stars on A but complains are mostly about Bluetooth connection. It also has a 2.4GHz dongle. That will work.

[-]

greiton@reddit

razer has bad QC. you might get something good, or you might get garbage that breaks in a few weeks.

[-]

AmazinglyUltra@reddit

I've been using the deathadder v3 since launch I can't say that I have any complaints, feel free to ask any questions

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

When did the v3 launch? Have u experienced any delays since the time uve started using it? I may consider this mouse but im looking to get a slightly less expensive one

[-]

Connection-Huge@reddit

Dav3 is good but it's had widespread scroll wheel issues. Atleast the wireless one (deathadder v3 pro). I personally have one too and the scroll wheel went bad after like 6 months. It's fixable by RMAing or replacing the scroll wheel encoder but no one really wants to go through the headache of all that. Deathadder v4 pro fixes those issues but it's still very pricey depending on where you live.

[-]

AmazinglyUltra@reddit

I don't remember the exact time but I've been using it for around 2-3 years and I didn't experience any sensor issues or any problems with the switches.

I definitely get you when it comes to the price it isn't really a cheap brand,though to be honest the desthaddder v3 is the cheapest mouse I would recommend from razer, have you perhaps considered glorious model o? I haven't personally used it but I heard good things about it

[-]

Shaun997@reddit

I've got the DeathAdder V2 which is wireless, won it in a competition. I wished it was wired but its a great mouse for gaming. V3 is wired which I'd highly recommend.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

How long have u been using the V2 mouse? I heard that this razer series is highly raved about but im not sure if it would be compatible with him because hes never used razer before

[-]

ClickKlockTickTock@reddit

If he has razer products, it's probably a safe bet. Some folks hate razer or have been turned off by them (I have all razer products from younger years but their software and compatibility issues have made me hate that I gave them so much money, and they aren't quite as repairable as logitech mouses can be)

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Nope he doesnt have razer products. So far, his pc and keyboard are all of different brandings, none of them are razer:(

[-]

dot_one@reddit

Please stop giving razer money, Chinese companies are making far better mice for less than half the price

[-]

buff_delta1@reddit

I’ve had my razor deathadder for years and it’s still great, been a little finicky though after some years

[-]

DoubleExposure@reddit

Razer DeathAdder V3 Wired was the worst piece of junk mouse I have ever bought. It has a known issue of frequently disconnecting.

[-]

VXE MAD R+ on aliexpress.

[-]

Glad_Egg3025@reddit

I have a Scyrox V6 and it's really good. It has 8k pulling rate (the highest there is) and can go up to 32000 dpi which is really high. It has a web based software and 2.4 GHz connectivity.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Oooh i looked it up online and its on the pricier side for me, but ill watch videos on it and consider as well! Thank you

[-]

Glad_Egg3025@reddit

Glad I could help :)

[-]

Glad_Egg3025@reddit

It's also 40g so really lite and had a nice shape. The battery lasts about a week on 8k.

[-]

soljakid@reddit

The Logitech G502 is a brilliant mouse that I've been using for over a decade.

Sells for around $35-40 and is lauded by gamers worldwide for its shape and the accuracy of its sensor.

It comes in both wired and wireless versions, I've always gone for the wired version as its cheaper.

The one downside is the middle mouse button has a tendency to fail before anything else does, usually after a few years of constant use so its not like it's a major problem but its cheap enough that a new mouse every 4-5 years wont break the bank.

[-]

BigRigs63@reddit

Its a great mice for non competitive fps gamers.

But in the world of competitive fps (like valorant), lightweight is king, and the G502 is a fuuucking heavy mouse

[-]

Reniva@reddit

TIL G502 is a heavy mouse

I’ve been daily driving this mouse for more than a decade like I’m wearing a set of iron clothes as Goku

[-]

Eerieyerris@reddit

VXE R1 SE+ ATK A9 Plus Redragon K1NG Lite

[-]

Redcupcak@reddit

All those words are the name of 1 mouse ? Tf

[-]

BigRigs63@reddit

No. VXE, ATK, Redragon are all chinese brands. With the exception of Logitechs recent mouse (that costs $200), chinese mice are essentially the same product but significantly cheaper. If you're budget isn't $200 and you're not looking for the absolute peak for competitive shooters, brands like these are 1000% the way to go.

vxe r1 se plus
ATK A9 Plus
Redragon K1NG Lite

[-]

Informal_Soil_5207@reddit

If I'm not mistaken it's a Chinese brand

[-]

genatax2023@reddit

Ese es el que tengo yo el vxe r1 y contentisimo... vengo de un corsair y un logitech.. y vamos si lo pillas con cupones en aliexpress yo lo saque por 35 pavos..

[-]

Lenny2024@reddit

Can vouch for the VXE, although I’ve got the R1 Pro, but build quality and performance wise they’re pretty similar if I’m not mistaken. Also the shape and weight are great!

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

I see, are they good for larger hands? This mouse seems to be winning me in 😭

[-]

Lenny2024@reddit

As others have pointed out, it really depends on the way he grips his mouse. But check out DiamondLobbyReviews’ video review of it over on YouTube, guy’s got pretty meaty hands so I guess try to guesstimate going by that. Should be fine though.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Thank you, i def check his videos out

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Will check it out, thank you!

[-]

Sumopwr@reddit

Check his old mouse for how many buttons it has and where. If he’s key mapping this is particularly important.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Thank you for the advice'

[-]

ze_or@reddit

ATK VXE series are what i'd consider for that price range.

R1 pro would be ideal but gets closer to $50

standard R1 I see for $37 and R1 SE+ for $29

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Ooh i see, hows the performance for ATK VXE? I may consider their models too:)

[-]

ze_or@reddit

Technical performance will be plenty. I believe the cheapest R1 SE+ has a lower tier sensor, but realistically most people can't tell apart the difference.

With R1 pro you'll be paying for things like a better battery, lighter weight, higher polling rate, better switches.

Standard R1 will be somewhere in between.

[-]

CommandShot1398@reddit

I like the gesture, but I have to say, there are a lot of choices in the market that makes it impossible to get a one that he like without him being present to test it.

I'd suggest a choosi g a gaming headset or even a keyboard would be much much easier.

[-]

Logitech Superlight. THE gaming mouse.

I use a Logitech G502 Lightspeed. Use it with the wireless charging mouse pad. Have had it for a couple years I think and it’s been good. Never having to plug in to charge or put batteries in it is nice

[-]

Pure_Design_4906@reddit

Deathadder v4 pro

[-]

Big_Gene_3341@reddit

Consider taking him to pick out a mouse and paying for it. The different button layout and ergonomics of gaming mice are important and only he’ll know what he needs.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Oh thats a good idea too! But i would prefer the gift to be a surprise😭😭

[-]

kaitero@reddit

Anecdote: I bought a very highly recommended mouse. After about 2 months, I started experiencing pain and realized it didn't fit my hand/grip quite right despite being a "good" mouse for what I thought I needed. But ultimately, the mistake was mine and mine alone.

I agree with others in that you should probably take him shopping for a new one or give him a gift card in lieu of buying him something he'll be using daily and may end up being uncomfortable for him.

[-]

godsbelovedtos@reddit

I think you can think about surprises in 2 different ways. You can surprise him with a thoughtful gift that he will love.

Or you can surprise him with the experience to go pick out a mouse he will love! Both options would be an equally amazing surprise! BUT you know him best, and only you can decide which kind of surprise he will love most!

[-]

rotorain@reddit

There's a lot of personal preference that goes into choosing one that isn't just picking a good brand. I think going with him and letting him pick one out with him is the best idea. You could make a lunch date out of it or something as well. Btw you're awesome for putting this much care into his gift

[-]

fschwiet@reddit

One solution might be a gift receipt that lets him exchange the mouse. Personally while I like some of the top suggestions so far I'd prefer something with more buttons. I have a wired Logitech g502 or g502x for that reason.

[-]

PM_ME_A_Pic_@reddit

Buy a gift card with a cute note telling him it’s for a new mouse.

I am not your boyfriend, but if someone bought a mouse for me there is a very high likelihood I’d be returning it for something else. Most of the folks I know, if they are the type to move away from a working mouse, are VERY picky about mice.

[-]

Nyllil@reddit

I have the Logitech G502 now for 10+ years and still works as new. I also like the extra buttons and the mouse is very light with extra weight you can change at the bottom.

[-]

PancakesGate@reddit

isnt the g502 like 90 grams base.... very light???

[-]

Nyllil@reddit

96grams idk if it's included all weights, since I put in only like 3 of them.

[-]

dear-reader@reddit

Lightweight mice are typically below 60 grams, going down to ~20 grams for the crazy people out there. My mouse is around 50 grams, so about half the weight of the G502 which I used to use - but it feels like it's 5 times lighter tbh.

[-]

Nyllil@reddit

Oh I see, doesn't feel heavy for me so idk. As I said idk if the 96grams refer to the whole weight, so including the extra weights you can put in at the bottom (idk how to call it).

[-]

jefferey92@reddit

Idk, mine is starting to fail after 6 years. Right click is unreliable and the rubber is disintegrating

[-]

Canadian_Border_Czar@reddit

This.

The new one has a bit more flimsy of a cord, but the lack of the cloth braiding seems to prevent the binding up issue it had in previous versions.

[-]

dad_farts@reddit

My logitech G700s has been good to me for well over a decade. I don't see much availability for them, so I'd trust anyone saying G502. Logitech makes (or made?) a very fine mouse

For the record, Everyone can recommend you nice, but only your bf will know what he actually likes when it’s in hand, it’s like looking at shoes vs wearing the shoes.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Yep, im mainly here for advice and seeing what people prefer!

[-]

Impaladine@reddit

Came here to say the shoes thing. Treat it like that and you'll be fine with anything

Get something that's exchangeable and make it very clear you know it's like shoes and have no problem with him changing to a different shape / model. And all will be well

No Logitech, no razer. This is a fantastic mouse that works wired or wireless, has a built in screen on the bottom to change polling rate/settings (NO GARBAGE SOFTWARE REQUIRED!!! Only mouse I know of that offers this.) you can never go back to another mouse (they often require some sort of 3rd party software to really dial your dpo, rate, etc.

The side buttons are completely optional (can be either turned off or have an included cover that hides them).

I've been PC gaming for 25 years and have had several offerings from razer, as well as many logitechs over the years.

[-]

The_MacChen@reddit

I use the g602 Logitech. It has been great for me and I love the extra buttons. I dont use them much for shooters but definitely for games like ballers gate

[-]

Toaster075@reddit

Just get him a gift card to his preferred retailer and let him pick it out.
Or let him pick it out and then pay for it.
Mice and Keyboards are so case by case to the person that it’s almost impossible to guess by the hive mind.
Like everyone is recommending the Logitech and razor mice, I personally hate them both and they would gather dust.
Everyone has there preference on mice.

Hand size is too important. Getting back into shooters for me and my mouse was just too small, it caused hand and forearm pain.

[-]

PancakesGate@reddit

ngl, depending on how serious your boyfriend is on val, its better for him to pick out a mice and also save a little more for it

80 is a good range as that opens the option to a lot of different mice

As someone who has play val for a long time now, most of the other mice recc are only suited to the price range that you mentioned and not necessarily with comfort and tech in mind

Yeah bro, it might sound like a joke, but I'm being serious. I've been in a similar situation before.
u/ilikeseagullslol U might need to know that men, when it comes to things they really care about the experience, like gaming mice, they've done a lot of research on the shape, weight, sensor, etc. And once they've made up their mind, their girlfriend buying them a product that's not what they intended puts them in a dilemma. They're not satisfied with it, but they're afraid of upsetting their girlfriend if they don't use it.

Just got in a new mouse today. ATK VXE Dragonfly R1 Pro Max. Coming from Deathadder V3 (2 years usage) and V2 (also 2 years usage). Logitech G302 before that. Cheaper. Lighter. Web based configuration if you don't want drivers.

[-]

Canadian_Border_Czar@reddit

The Logitech G502 Hero is a solid budget version of the G502. I've been using this model (in all its iterations) for well over a decade now..

Only the hero version will fit in your price range. Anything else like the lightspeed or g502X will be $100+

[-]

[-]

Noxious89123@reddit

Hmm, a mouse is a rather personal choice imo, a bit like shoes. Needs to be comfortable.

If he had a G304 and he liked it, I'd say get another the same!

Failing that, the G502 Hero would be a good choice imo. It's a very popular mouse, and the wired ones can be picked up for a very sensible price.

[-]

letyouknowm@reddit

red dragon mouse’s are good trust 🤝

Nexxus88@reddit

I would highly recommend giving him a gift card or going out with him to get one rather than just buying one on a random suggestion.

A gaming mouse is an extremely preference based thing, there is no right answer. to this question so its impossible to know what exactly he wants in a mouse and what will be good for him.

[-]

Interesting_Aide6030@reddit

vxe dragonfly r1 pro inexpensive, light, ideal for an fps

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Thats great to hear:) would u say that its suitable for bigger hands?

[-]

Interesting_Aide6030@reddit

I would say I have larger hands, but it all depends on how you hold your mouse.. if he likes bigger mice or he tends to have his palm over the mouse instead of holding with his fingertips, maybe the xm1r is an option? it's a little bigger, also more expensive tho.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

He normally has his entire hand over the mouse, i may look into getting a slightly bigger mouse but right now im thinking of g302, g305, or this mouse

The logitech superlite is probably the most popular gaming mouse. Very good mouse, very safe choice.

ive had a logitech g203 lightspeed for just over a year, its a great mouse and there isn’t anything bad about it, you can’t really go wrong with any logitech or razer mouse.

[-]

PermaDerpFace@reddit

I think a mouse is one of those things you really need to pick out yourself, because it's hard to know what will work for you. That being said, you know the model he uses now, so that should make it easier.

[-]

LabubuNutOnThyBalsak@reddit

Get the same one or ask him which one he wants.

[-]

HeadhunterKev@reddit

For me personally I don't want a keyboard or mouse as present as I have specific requirements. I've tested like 20 mice and keyboards and I like only one. Getting a random one won't work for me.

Im sorry, i just wanted advice on gaming mice since i dont play pc games😓

[-]

lit3brit3@reddit

Definitely make sure whatever mouse you get him has the same number of buttons (or more) than his current one, and that they’re in generally the same location.

Which mouse does he have now?

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

I think ive edited the post but right now it looks like the model g304 from logitech

[-]

lit3brit3@reddit

Where are you located (globally) 304 is for Asian markets I think? People recommending the 305 are recommending the same mouse. Different names for the same mouse. If he likes the mouse have you considered just replacing it with a new one of the same model?

If this isn’t a surprise, ask him how he uses it (button mapping) and if he had his eyes on anything particular.

Also, side question, what’s a monthly anniversary 🤪

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Located in singapore! For some reason, im unable to source any webs that sell g305 mouses besides US sites like target or walmart.

Basically me and my boyfriend celebrate our relationship milestones every month! The upcoming one will be on the 25th and till then i gotta get a mouse asap😓

ferretsama@reddit

hi fellow sgrean! if ur budget is strict I'll suggest trying taobao, prices there are way more competitive than laz/shopee. they have a new version of the logitech g305 called the g304x-eh, which uses the same shape but is way lighter. it's also within ur 40sgd budget.

they also have brands like vxe/atk/mchose which are chinese brands and they are way cheaper on taobao

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Hello! Thank you, i completely forgot about taobao😭😭

[-]

lit3brit3@reddit

304 = 305, so where you are you want to search 304

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Ohhhh thats how it works, thank you 😭

[-]

blueleocat182@reddit

750 signature L is nice

[-]

kathryn-evergarden@reddit

R/mousereview is the way to go. Also i wouldn’t go for logitech, they are on the expensive side, while there are brands in aliexpress that have the same build and probably a shape suited. It always depends on what games he play, and his grip, if you can specify.

[-]

Affenzoo@reddit

cheapest logitech for 10 Euro work best for me because they are very light, i hate heavy mice

[-]

SenpaiGG@reddit

go to the gaming mouse subreddits, a lot of cheaper mice from 20-60 usd that are chinese clones of the “big” brands. good quality, great sensors, and most have high polling rates.

most mice nowadays have similar components and won’t have significant advantages besides weight. the new logitech superstrike has haptic sensors which some say is a revolutionary, i would just wait on a clone to buy that.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Oooh i see, regarding any mouse dupes, do u have any suggestions or links i can refer to? Thank you'

[-]

SenpaiGG@reddit

depending on the shape and grip style he has, look at VXE, Mchose, Scyrox, attack shark, darmoshark. it’s endless

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Considering his old mouse, he doesnt grip them in an 'ergonomic' way like those weirdly shaped mouses, im thinking of getting a mouse that looks similar to his old one (g304)

[-]

SenpaiGG@reddit

get the vxe dragonfly r1 or scyrox v8

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Thank you! Will definitely use the url:)

[-]

SenpaiGG@reddit

please don’t consider razer and logitech in ur price budget, if you love him you would choose these ones instead.

go on youtube and see for urself

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

To be honest, ive not thought abt razer at all. Im considering logitech because all the mouses hes ever used was logitech😭 but im probably gonna get the vxe dragonfly r1 mouse

[-]

SenpaiGG@reddit

logitech is good but they’re the innovators in this space. they charge a premium for that as well having the most amount of money in advertising through esports, videos, sponsorships.

if ur not getting their best stuff like the current 150 dollar superstrike, you would be wasting ur money buying the lower tier ones from them where other people have already copied their recipe for success.

[-]

SenpaiGG@reddit

terra or x3 very similar shapes

https://www.walmart.com/ip/8629961413?sid=f1f7842e-2bcb-4096-aa85-6ad8a17e24f1 get this one, I just got it when it was 22$ but 26$ still a very good price, it’s more than 40$ on amazon. 42000max dpi, 8k polling rate, charging stand, and 56g weight. You can’t find any better mouse with spec at 20-40$ range. Literally it has a 50-100$ mouse spec. And the quality is not bad at all.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Will definitely look into this one! May i know how was ur experience using this mouse! Any lags or sensory issues thus far? Thank you

[-]

SelectionKlutzy1716@reddit

I have a small to medium hand, i play battle field 6 shooting game. I use pulsar x2h mini which is around same size (or a very little smaller and 3-4g lighter than the one I recommended you. ) be comparing both I found Aj159apex’s click is little bit stiffer than the mini unless you click on front on the mouse, everything else is awesome, smooth, light weight, no lag, in fact it has one of the best sensors if you compare to those 100$+ mouses ( lots high end mouses use paw3950 sensor) I have no problem using this mouse if my mini broke. And the charging stand is pretty awesome too( it’s also the 8k polling receiver)

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

That sounds extremely good for such a cheap mouse! My boyfriend's hands are relatively big tho, will it affect anything?

[-]

SelectionKlutzy1716@reddit

its best to know what kind of mouse is he using now, so you can compare the size, some medium to big hands use small mouse too especially it’s easier to move when playing FPS game. So I can’t guarantee if he likes the size. But the shape is the one he’s using similar?

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

If im not wrong, hes currently using a logitech mouse, the model looks like a g504

[-]

SelectionKlutzy1716@reddit

The dimensions I found on g304 Dimensions Height: 38.2 mm Width: 62.1 mm Length: 116.6 mm Weight: 99 g, Aj159apex is actually a little bit bigger 118.1mm x 63.1 x 37.7m. So I would say if you provide correct info on what mouse he is using then he probably will like aj159apex. Especially it only weights around 56g

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Aj159apex sounds really professional😭😭😭

[-]

SelectionKlutzy1716@reddit

It is very good, specially with this price

This one's incredibly popular and a pretty solid mouse

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Ooh, from the other comments i heard its quite weighty, how heavy is it?

[-]

becrustledChode@reddit

So for me, the more important question is whether it feels comfortable in your hand. These other mice that are getting recommended are lightweight specifically because they're absolutely tiny. You have to scrunch your hand up to fit on it, and even then the grip is uncomfortable. The lightness of the mouse also just makes it feel cheap and makes aiming finicky.

If the mouse being ultra lightweight is your #1 priority then you'd be better off with some of the other choices mentioned, but as a comfortable mouse that's in actually in the price range you mentioned, I stand by the recommendation

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Oohh i see! Thank you ill definitely add this into my list:)

[-]

HotwheelsMiata@reddit

Yes but it's twice the weight when compared to other competitive mice. I would want a lighter mouse for Valorant.

[-]

JoeChio@reddit

Weight and size are more massive then you think. I got a super heavy and large mouse one time because I thought it'd be an upgrade and my god my wrist fatigue was out of this world. I thought I was developing carpal tunnel.

OP check out Bowie mice. The U2 wireless mouse has been my favorite mouse for the last few years. Super light and zero latency issues with their new wireless receivers.

[-]

becrustledChode@reddit

I mean, all they said was that they were considering getting a lighter mouse. Not that it was an absolute requirement. This is a good mouse that's in their price range and matches their bf's preference for Logitech

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Ooh i see, thank you for ur suggestion! Do u have a link to the mouse uve just mentioned? Id love to take a look

[-]

JoeChio@reddit

VXE R1 is very popular at the moment and very good value

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Will look into it! Thank you!

[-]

CommercialQuiet8725@reddit

The safest bet is the logitech g pro x superlight or the razer deathadder v3 pro. they're basically the gold standards right now. if you want something cheaper but still amazing, the logitech g305 is a classic. just check if he has big hands or small hands first tbh.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

He has big hands (palming a size7 basketball type of big), ive seen many suggestions talking about the razer deathadder series, as well as logitech g502, hence im considering them. Ive seen other brands as well so im noting all of them down and also ranking them by price😓

[-]

Rich_Cap_3926@reddit

i really like my superlight. also get glass skates, i cant live without them

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Oooh i see, what are the perks of glass skates? I may get them with the mouse

[-]

Rich_Cap_3926@reddit

it makes the mouse glide on the mouse pad much easier then typical skates. i own few mouses and i always get the glass skates with them.

[-]

The_loppy1@reddit

Its only 3x her budget.

[-]

mikegoblin@reddit

I am a huge gamer and I use razer deathadder v3 wireless it’s amazing

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Unfortunately thats out of my budget but ive heard good reviews about it!

[-]

mikegoblin@reddit

You use a mouse for years at a time! Don’t skimp

[-]

SparkysNutshell@reddit

I personally have been using a g502 hero for close to 3 years and i love that mouse.

I heard and saw a lot of good reviews about the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike. Not sure if the online ones are overhyped but my friend who bought it seemed very enthusiastic about its features.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Will definitely consider g502! However the other mouse uve mentioned is way out of budget for me😭😭 thank you though

[-]

jesclle@reddit

the glorious model o mouse is very light and i've had no issues so far

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Ooh, would you say its good for fps games?

[-]

Electrical-Start4458@reddit

Logitech g203 lightsync is basically the safest pick in that budget. Razer viper mini is also a solid option.

[-]

ilikeseagullslol@reddit (OP)

Ive heard of logitech g203, how about g304? Its one of the more popular gaming mouses in my country
