A950 Wing 8K

The A950 Wing is 35$ on Ali, I could buy another 2 if the one I have ever breaks. Sure you can argue warranty and maybe higher quality overall, but brand mice are still overpriced.

Triple if you order from Ali when on discount. I got mine for 35$.

I‘d rather buy the Dareu A950 Air for 1/3rd of the price

Thats what I first thought when I saw it. I have the dareu a950 air (wing) and looks like it was made in the same factory lol.

Well you're paying less for qorse sensor. The Corsair mouse comes with a 3950 sensor. The A950 air comes with a 3395 sensor. You can probably find that mouse with that sensor for $45-60 USD if you're buying directly from China (TaoBao, Jindong). The price honestly isn't too bad given that you're still going to get better customer service, than being told to kick rocks.

Dareu A950 Wing is my current recommendation. Though it's so light it may not be what you are looking for. VXE R1 and MAD R series are good and commonly recommended. Rawm, Rapoo, and Mchose have good options too.  

Personally I would get the Dareu A950 wing and not worry about other mice being slightly better for $50+ more But if you want the best option for that price Endgame OP1 8k v2 is $90.

I have been looking at the Dareu A950 wing as the best budget option right now. Seen it as low as $24 with free shipping on AliExpress.  Cheapest option for a Paw 3950+Omron optical switches. Plus it's super lightweight, and not Attack Shark brand. Only issue is that it's so lightweight it can cause issues for some people. (Either through the plastic being super thin not doing well with death grips, or just not liking something that lightweight)

Dareu A950 wing is my recommendation. For $25 on AliExpress it can't be beat.

Dareu A950 wing. For $25-30 on AliExpress.

Frankly I would probably still recommend the Dareu A950 wing. Once you get to $80 mice it's no longer the absolute best option. But there's things I like about it over even the Scyrox or Mad R. (Who have both had some issues reported that I don't like)  and more importantly it's $25.

Just because it's a well known company doesn't mean it isn't a clone. Just look at Corsair's brand new mouse (saber V2) vs my recommendation for best budget mouse option (Dareu A950 Wing) They are exactly the same, and Corsair's mouse came after the Chinese company's. Also, name brands have had QC issues. Logitech double clicking, Razer scroll wheels, etc.

Dareu A950 Wing. You can find them for under $30 (USD) on AliExpress. Good specs very lightweight, and I don't know of any major issues reported (though don't death grip it in weird spots. They saved weight everywhere they could so the plastic is very thin in places you don't generally put pressure on during normal use)

Corsair sabre v2 is small enough, but is also just an overpriced copy of a Dareu A950 wing. My recommendations for small mice, in order: Mchose L7 is my top recommendation. Hitscan hyperlight or OP1 8k are both really good too, but they are more expensive and arguably worse. (Or they can get even more expensive to match the Mchose L7) Dareu A950 wing can sometimes have crazy deals on AliExpress, but otherwise is noticeably worse, and certainly no cheaper than the other options. Scyrox V6/V8 basically just a worse more expensive Mchose L7 series, but if you like the more pronounced hump it can be a good option. And mentioning it because others recommend it but I wouldn't even consider a Crazylight mini, to close shape wise to an Mchose L7 and significantly more expensive for worse performance.

It's a rebranded Dareu A950 Wing. Just get the Dareu, it'll be way cheaper and you don't need to deal with Corsair's shitty software.

looks hella a lot like dareu air

i compared it in gimp and looks like it's basically the same shell with very very minor irrelevant differences. At least the skates are better. But I'm dissapointed, the sensor could have been moved to the center etc
