MCHOSE - G3

Mchose G3 for a similar shape. VXE R1 Pro for the best bang for the buck.

mchose g3 is a good option if you like g102 shell.

There are so many reasons to push your budget and get the G3 over G305... 1. 3395 sensor capable of 8K wireless compared to GHERO which is based on 3360 if I'm not mistaken 2. 60G compared to 100G with AA or 90G with AAA 3. Logitech's older mice are notorious for double clicking issues but G3 has optical switches so you will never have to worry about that 4. Its rechargable 5, G305 has terrible weight balance, its extremely back heavy.

SE version comes with Huanos, probably transparent pink dots but the Ultra version is indeed using Omron opticals. Not sure what switches the Pro and Max versions are using since it says Omron 60m

This guy is showing the ultra version but the switches used are Omron 100M, never seen those before. I thought they were optical but they are mechanical

Honestly I have never seen a mouse using Omron 100M before, they got to be new. We will have to wait and see how they perform/feel. Double clicking was mostly an issue with 50M and 20M / 10M to a lesser degree.

Dude the g3 is so legit. Feels just like the g305 right down to how the clicks feel.

Like many of you I’ve seen many posts all the time asking about what the best mouse under 50$ or 60$ or whatever, lots of them asking about finding a solid mouse for cheap. I’ve become someone who has more knowledge than I should ever need on solid mice sub 65$ so I figured I’d put together a list of very solid mice at a low price! I’ve broken them up into a two categories of mice as there’s a lot of them that try to aim for the exact same shape as some others and are clones. Most all shapes from China are like exactly the same as others and do not usually make their own. Some brands do, most do not, and to go farther even to say original shapes I’m gonna say like…originalish cause that’s more accurate. I’m also adding what grip type each mouse is best for but this is honestly subjective to a bit. These are mostly recommendations as far as grips go as realistically you could do whatever grip suits you best on any mouse if your hands are big/small enough and that’s not entirely a thing i can take into account. If the mouse is wired then I have added that as well as most are wireless.  *Disclaimer, most of these are cheap chinese mice. It’s kind of a dice roll if the QC will be good or not, some have particularly good QC and i’ll mention those are they come up* **ORIGINAL SHAPES(ish):** * Incott Ghero Pro A very solid ergo mouse that is called GPX Ergo (or NP-01(S) clone) by many and is extremely solid built quality wise while also being extremely affordable. (Claw/Palm) **#** * Incott HPC01M is a more traditional mouse that’s designed for all grip types and is also extremely easily hot swappable to try different switches out with. It’s super solid built wise and works for many grips (All) * ATK F1 is a more traditional shape meaning it’s got a larger hump on the end and curves in the back out towards the front, the brand is known for being fairly solid QC wise and the mouse is very lightweight at 38g. (All) * MCHOSE G3 Is an egg shape that’s overall larger. It’s more akin to the G303 if it wasn’t quite as angled and it’s butt was smaller. At the time of this post it’s fairly new but overall the Mchose brand makes some solid mice. (All) * VGN Dragonfly F1 is more of an original shape with a larger rear hump and shorter front end, that is overall a fairly solid shape akin to the style of a viper mouse. Known for having excellent quality control. (Claw/Ftip) **#** * Ajazz AJ159 is a solidly built more original shape that is akin to the Dragonfly style of a larger rear hump that curves in. (Claw)  * Darmoshark M3 is a fairly solid original shape and has very solid QC while being very good for a lot of grip styles (All) **#** * Darmoshark M3S is a smaller version of the M3 and is again very good quality and a very good overall style and feel. (Claw/Ftip) **#** * Keychron M1 is a very solid mouse with a solid original shape. It’s along the same style as a viper in terms of shape but is original overall and has very good QC as do all their mice with a lower overall profile (All) **#** * Keychron M2 is their ergo mouse that is extremely solid with a good shape that’s more original and thinner towards the front than most. A lot of Ergos do not try to be like this. It also has a mini shape as well.(Claw/Ftip) **#** * Keychron M3 is their more clad dedicated ergonomics where it’s a larger rear  and goes thinner. Due to this it’s not as good for all grip styles but is excellent for claw style. (Claw) **#** * Keychron M4 is a pure fingertip grip style. For it’s price it’s kinda wild to find a dedicated fingertip grip mouse this cheap however it’s curves are not to everyone's preferences (Ftip ONLY)  * Keychron M7 is a G502 styled mouse that is also extremely good quality but a more original shape like their others. (Claw/Palm)  * Delux M900 is an ergo original shape but close to a Deathadder shape and is fairly decent in terms of feel. (Claw/Palm) * Zaopin Z2 is an ergo with a more asymmetrical shape at it's core, with a solid shape and very solid built quality (Claw/Palm)  **#** * Darmoshark N5 is a newer very solidly built Ergo mouse that is a more original style with a harsher curve into the front from the more ergo side (Claw/Palm)  * Zowie EC2 (Wired) Most people don’t consider that Zowie mice are like under 50$ USD for the wired versions. The EC2 is what \*most\* ergo mice are based on and are very solidly build, arguably some of the better built mice out there and are beloved by many for it. (Claw/Palm) **#** * Zowie FK1/ZA11/S1 (Wired) are all  original claw styled mice that is meant to be gripped in a traditional claw shape and are what a lot of other mice ended up based on as well but you could use anything if you wanted. (All) **#** * End Game Gear OP1 Wired (Wired) This is what a lot of mice are based on as EGG has some of the better mice on market in terms of quality and built and software. It's one of the best mice you can buy. (Claw) **#** * Redragon G49/M916 is a more traditional Sora/Atlantis shape style with questionable QC (Claw/Ftip) * LTC GM022/Valkyrie M1 is a stretched Xtrfy M8 with not great click quality (Claw/Ftip) * Dareu A950 Pro a blend of GPX and a Finalmouse Hourglass shape (subtle hourglass), has decent QC but the magneisum version is not as good on clicks (All) * UHURU WM09 is a very safe shaped ambi mouse that works for most all grip styles but mostly more palm and fingertip as it's not got a ton of curves (Palm/Ftip) * Projects Gaming Sleeper is another safe rounded ambi shape which is often 20$ or less (All) * AULA SC680 is a mixture of GPX and Waizowl Cloud meaning it's a GPX with a little more curves to it. (Claw/Ftip) * Fantech Aria XD7 is a larger EGG chaped mouse overall that is much like the Orochi and Zaopin Z1 (All) * Taidu TSG808 is a safe ambi shape with a larger rear and solid sensor (Claw) * Taidu TSG608 Max is an ergo/ambi style much like the Incott Ghero and is solid for multiple grips (All) * Kysona M511/ Carpo V903 is a solid ergo shape that is much like the Darmoshark N5 and is closer to a traditional Zowie styled ergo shape (Palm/Claw) * Rapoo VT9 is a fairly safe traiditional curved mouse with seemingly heavy curves in, bit of an odd shape (Claw?) * Rapoo VT1 seems to be a GPX with some harsher curves making it more suited for claw grip (Claw) * GITOPER G2 a small but extremely curved Atlantis styled mouse with questionable QC (Claw) * UtechSmart Venus Pro is an MMO ergo mouse, one of the very few MMO mice i've seen for cheap (Claw/Palm) * ATK Z1 is a new ergo shape from ATK, very similar to other ergos but original enough. (Claw/Palm) * Attack Shark R6 is a more original shape from Attack Shark that is a larger rear hump that thins out as it goes forward, the feel is like stuff like the Sora and is at 39g with 8k (Claw/Ftip) * MCHOSE L7 is an original feeling shape that fits somewhere between the X2V2 and the Atlantis Mini, come more curves than the pure flatness of the X2, but still very capable for most grip styles. A little smaller but very well built with 8k (All) **CLONES:** * VXE R1 It’s a very solid mouse that is a near identical X2 style clone. It’s got a little bit less in terms of curves inside so it’s actually a narrower, flat shape, but overall very solid. The pro model has a much better coating and implementation of it’s sensor as well and is generally worth the amount more it costs. It’s extremely well built QC wise. (Claw/Ftip) **#** * Incott HPC02 is a hotswappable X2 which is fairly high quality and allows you to try multiple different switches easily (All) **#** * Attack Shark X6 is another X2 clone that is fairly solid but has mixed quality control (Claw/Ftip) * Ajazz AJ219 Is a X2 clone as well with slightly more curves alone the backside. Widely considered to be the Attack Shark X6 but worse. (Claw/Ftip)\* ATK X1 Is a pretty much exact clone of the Razer Viper V3 Pro Clone. It’s got worse side buttons as Razers tend to be fantastic but it’s still overall just an exact same shape and feel, albeit with no coating. (All) * Attack Shark X3 has a solid shape like a smaller G Pro Superlight (GPX) and fairly solid feel that comes in 1k or 4k, there’s quite a few mice like this so i’ll put them all in a row one after another. (All) * Attack Shark X11 is a Viper V3 clone but with a worse sensor (3311) which has bad skates and a texture but with grip tape and new skates is alright if you wanna test the shape (All) * Kysona M600 is pretty much the same as the Attack Shark X3 with a slightly better build quality. (All) * Machose A5 is much the same, a smaller GPX but more of an exact GPX shape. (All) * Ajazz AJ199 Is again a smaller GPX shape. (All) * Ajazz AJ139 Is also a GPX shape if you can believe it (All) * Zaopin Z1 Pro is a traditional egg shape (like the food not End Game Gear). It’s great for fingertip or a weird claw but is fairly small for an Egg shape. If you like the Orochi it’s nearly identical. (Claw/Ftip) * Puretrak Valor is literally just a superlight. However it’s like a third the price of a superlight with a 3395 sensor. This mouse is technically 120$ Since i first saw it a year ago it’s been on sale for 35$ on their website. If it’s always on sale it’s never on sale. (All) **#** * Incott G23 is a very solid built mouse with a near identical shape to the GPX while also having hot swappable switches if you wanna try out some different feeling clicks (All) # * Delux M800 Is a near exact clone of the Viper V2 and is fairly solidly built. (All) * Delux M600 Is a near exact clone of the Viper Mini and is also fairly solidly built. (Claw/Ftip) * Phlyina S450 is a HTS+ clone that's arguably extremely good on QC and makes a normally hundred dollar mouse down to like a fourth the price. To go farther than that they are working on a 38g 8k version of it and already have a 4k one. It’s one of the best built mice on this list. (Claw/Ftip) **#** * Keychron M6 Is a MX Master clone but weighs less and has a gaming mouse modern sensor. (Claw/Palm) **#** * Attackshark R1/Metapanda01 both mice use the exact same shell and are the exact same shape. They are both slightly smaller Deathadder V3s and the differences is the sensor, the R1 uses a worse sensor that above 1,000 dpi has very bad issues, but below is actually pretty much fine and will be mostly fine for everyone. (Palm/Claw) * Ajazz AJ199 Pro Is the same shape and style as the one above but a solid ergo (Palm/Claw) * Monka M3 is a solid Sora V2 Clone great for specifically claw grip (Claw mainly) * HELLO GANSS FLX3 is a solid ergonoimic Thorn Clone (Palm/Claw) * Vancer Gretxa is a finalmouse clone with an older sensor but overall i've heard good things about it (All) * Ajazz Aj099 is Zowie S2 clone meaning it's got a real fat rear and is great for claw with an older sensor (3311) (Claw mainly) * Ajazz AJ179 is a Outset AX clone which is fairly solid and new so reviews still need to release more (Claw/Palm) * RAWM SA-MH01 is a Viper V3 styled clone with hot swap switches for ease of trying multiple others to find what you like (All) * RAWM SA-ML01 is a Viper V2 styled clone with hot swap switches for ease of trying multiple others to find what you like (All but claw more) * RAWM SA-SL01 is a Viper Mini styled clone with hot swap switches for ease of trying multiple others to find what you like (Claw/Ftip) (see what i did there?) * Fantech Helios XD5 GO is a IE3.0 Micro styled shape which is somewhat of an hourglass traditional shape with a slightly older sensor and bad battery life (All) * Fantech Helios II XD3 is a S2 clone meaning it's a more traditional styled shape with an hourglass with a larger backend, mainly great for claw grip (Claw Mainly) * Edifier Hecate G3M is a hotswappable HTS clone which is a fairly solid and well enjoyed shape while allowing you to test multiple other mice switches (All) * iRocks M31R is a Darmoshark N3 clone which is a solid original shape (and also on this list in the original listing) (All) * iRocks HE3 is a viper mini styled mouse with a replaceable battery but not much else but does come in 4k for cheap (All) * Incott G24 is a EC2 and hotswappable meaning it's a really solid ergo mouse with hotswap which Incott is known for (Palm/Claw) **#** * VXE MAD R is a Z2V2 clone Super lightweight at 37g with a shape made for any shape. (any) **#** * ATK X1 is a Viper V3 Pro clone with a solid build. It's the same company as VXE and is solid build. * Scyrox V8 has its parent company from Lamzu but is a SORA V2 clone and is the same shape and weight. Very high quality build and very solid mouse. **#** Most of these mice use the 3395 sensor and are wireless and are all sub 60$ on Aliexpress or other websites.  You may be asking now "wow that's a lot of mice! how do I pick one for me?" or "What's the best mouse here overall?" and i'll tell you how to decide that for yourself. It entirely comes down to your handsize and grip style. There is no endgame best mouse for everyone. Everyone has a different grip style and hand size. Grip styles also change. I was using a X2V2 Mini before I just decided to try a Dav3 Pro randomly and ended up loving it and now main that which is the hardest reversal of grips and mouse you could just about do. I tried to mention based on a more medium hand size the different grip styles for each mouse. Figure out what you like and prefer and then aim for a mouse like that. A good thing you could do is get something like the Attack Shark X3 which is solid for as low as 12$ at times and use that to figure out what your proper grip style is then look more into the best mice in the grip style you prefer to find the right one for you. There’s plenty of other mice on the way or coming out soon as the cheap chinese mice market is going kinda wild with how many keep getting released and are just upcoming. Rapoo VT3 i just heard about today and the Incott G24 larger traditional Ergo is still on the way. I plan to be updating this list as it goes and would take feedback on it if you have any! *# on the mouse meant I heavily recommend it.* Edit: Added more mice based on suggestions for numerous people but u/manpalanges gets extra credit for making a very large list!

With the same exact shape you have logitech g305 (wireless but heavier) and mchose g3 (wireless but lighter and overall better in my opinion).

Yup but for the prince you can get a newer and upgraded version. MCHOSE G3 or G3 PRO (with coupon it can be as low as 35)

r/MouseReview regular here, this list is hot ass. Wouldn't recommend near decade old Logitech mice. I guarantee the majority of the subreddit would say Mchose G3 >>>>>>> G305, just as one quick example.

Bro, 20.5x11cm hands here, and used to do the same grip style as yours, it is very limited for aiming. My advice is try to use an agressive claw on G303 or knuckle claw on Mchose g3 or even Atlantis mini. Just trying to help a fellow big hands user btw.

Wired G Pro was my main and loved the fuck out of that mouse. Bought a G pro super light 2 and realized how current mouses with current sensor, chip, and lighter weight really makes a difference for that extra 3% advantage. VXE dragonfly R1 pro max is also a mouse that for the price obliterates even the super light for $70. If you really love the shape of the g pro or g305 there is also the Mchose g3 that is about to be released that is lighter, and way better sensor and chip just not sure of the price yet but it’s from aliexpress so probably very cheap. My 2 cent for another G pro/g305 lover. Happy fragging guys and girls. 🖤

Mchose g3.

My zaopin z1 pro is better than the g305, but its more like an orochi. Also the mchose g3 is lighter, better specs AND a cheaper copy of the g305. Might be a good choice aswell. Personally i think OP should get a fingertip mouse with hands that small.

I dont know if youve been up to date but a lot of budget chinese mice have great build quality. You can also get a 3395 sensor with a better battery and better switches for a bit higher of a price. Either way anyone whos had both the mchose g3 and the g305 say the mchose is better.

I think the g305 being on this list proves that the mice recommended here arent the greatest choices. You can get the mchose g3 which is a literal clone for cheaper, yet its better quality, better clicks, better sensor, lighter and no batteries, meaning you charge it with a cable once every 1-3 weeks depending on usage. So much better value. And also the shape and size of these 2 mice are something most people dont enjoy and are unfit/uncomfortable for many grips. It should not be one of the top recommendations.

MCHOSE G3 dropped yesterday on AliExpress and is the same exact shape with reduced weight and improved tech.

Yeah truly is a shame, I’ve waiting forever for the g305 to get the superlight treatment but I don’t think it’ll ever happen. Mchose g3 is as close as we’ll get and 60 grams is plenty light for me.

If you want to stick with the shape and get an all around upgrade the mchose g3 is exactly what you want. Otherwise there are similar shapes like the aria xd7 and orochi. If we’re talking about different shapes than my recommendations for a budget would be the attack shark x3, pulsar x2v2 mini as the price has gone down dramatically and it’s still super solid, and the phylina s450. A little more expensive you can get the Sora v2, Lamzu Atlantis mini, Lamzu maya, or the Logitech g pro super light as it’s still a very solid mouse. My top 3 picks for you out of all those would be the mchose g3, x2v2, or the Atlantis mini

mchose g3 series if you want a 1-1 shape otherwise grab a x2 shape mouse, since they’re fairly similar and the x2 shapes are better imo and it’s easy to find a decent x2 shape mouse
