G305 - still solid - maybe not for large hands Asus gladius 2 - suitable for palm grip, even has hotswap Steelseries rival 3 wired is all I can think of atm, just don't do the "flashy rgb with shitty internals" thing.
r/MouseReview β’ Looking for a budget gaming mouse after disappointing experiences with Mars Gaming ->Yeah I heard mixed things about the wireless one, I've had the wired one for years tho and its good.
r/pcmasterrace β’ I analyzed the 25 most recommended gaming mice on Reddit ->I just keep buying steel series rivals. rival 3 is $35 and imo is great. edit - its actually only $22 on that one popular website. 30% off!
r/pcmasterrace β’ I analyzed the 25 most recommended gaming mice on Reddit ->its the peerless assassin of the mouse world imo
r/pcmasterrace β’ I analyzed the 25 most recommended gaming mice on Reddit ->Not a single budget SteelSeries mouse? Interesting. Imo the Rival 3 or Prime/Prime+ is tough to beat for $20-30 and that's pretty much all most would need even for high rank FPS eSports. Rival 3 alone is sufficient, but afaik Prime is like better version of Rival 3 with better build, sensor and magnetic switches for same price or lower price than Rival 3.
r/pcmasterrace β’ I analyzed the 25 most recommended gaming mice on Reddit ->My Rival 3 still going strong after 5 years of daily abuse. Wanted to buy second one but they were at around 50USD for new in my country back then. Might look into buying second one as Christmas gift for myself though.
r/pcmasterrace β’ I analyzed the 25 most recommended gaming mice on Reddit ->Currently considering the g502, itβs the closest thing to what Iβm looking for. Sniper button is not a necessity, just a good feature. I bought a wired rival 3 last summer, but simply not satisfied by how it feel. And finally for Naga, it looks a bit small but if I can find it in a store I will definitely try it. You said newer models are bad, do you mean the new m65 models (m65 elite and m65 ultra) or other corsair models? What differences have you found between them?
r/MouseReview β’ Looking like a new mouse like mine ->Lamzu maya for me. Before i used 2 mouse (pulsar x2 and steelseries rival 3) Pulsar is for fps games, idk why but that shape just does wonders for my aim. Rival 3 is for dota etc. Again idk why lol Now i use lamzu maya for both.
r/MouseReview β’ What's your favorite MOUSE SHAPE of all time? ->i've used the g502 hero (eventually had right click issues), razer deathstalker adder (didn't like), razer taipan (i'm not ampidextrous but still comfortable), steelseries rival 5( had excess buttons I never used outside of for 1 or 2 games) right now im completely content with the steelseries rival 3, im right handed, have long fingers, mouse is a decent size, tad lighter then I would like but still comfy, and got it for $20 at walmart
r/pcmasterrace β’ I analyzed the 25 most recommended gaming mice on Reddit ->I've been using a 50ish dollar Logitech for over a year now and I have no complaints. Uses a single AA battery that I replace like every 6 months or something. It's a gaming mouse, has a bunch of buttons and dpi settings. Works great. Before that, I owned a steelseries rival series that cost over a hundred dollars. The only thing I liked better about it was that it was heavier and had weighted plates in it. But it was wired and I got tired of it as well.
r/buildapc β’ I'm looking for a gaming mouse under 100$ ->>I keep breaking my Logitech G703 mice How are they breaking? That might be a good place to start, choosing something that is 'stronger' in the area they are breaking. I'm a bit surprised, as I have worn-through several mice (I'm a software developer and gamer, and use a mouse for hours every day for decades), but I have never had a mouse break, just worn out to the point that the finishes wear through or the clicker/scroll becomes intermittent. I have personally been happy with the SteelSeries Rival mouse I have been using for the last 7 years. I liked the Steelseries Sensei before that, but any soft-touch finish is not BIFL.
