Vxe r1 the lower variant go for under 2.5 k and its the best mouse i have had, i have owned Logitech 304, razer death adder v2x hyper speed and viper mini. Currently using vxe r1 pro i would recommend
I would recommend avoiding most of those brands if you are on a budget. Something like the VXE r1, Redragon M916/M918, Royal Kludge M30 or M3 or any of a number of lesser known brands will give better performance for cheaper. Edit: the HyperX pulsefire Haste 2 doesn't look to bad for the price given the limited time deal on Amazon. What is probably a paw3395 sensor, 53 grams for $39 isn't a terrible price. Wouldn't be my first choice, but it isn't awful
VXE R1 SE+ will be better than anything except the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 from your list, while probably being significantly cheaper.
Mchose L7 is the best bang for buck. But only fits small hands (or medium hands for the pro+ and ultra+ versions but they cost more) VXE R1 is also better for $28.99 (lighter and better coating) but is still slightly smaller.
VXE R1 for $28.99 is maybe the best option. You can also find some Redragon options (M916 Pro, M918 pro, m922 pro and M995 pro) for sub $30.
VXE R1 is the budget option. It's internals aren't as good as the Razer options you mentioned, but but it's basically half the price ($28 vs $51) and basically half the weight(48 grams vs 70-88 grams depending on battery), so you will perform better using it and save money. Plus, it doesn't have any issues with the scroll wheel like the viper v3 did. The Mchose L7 steps you up to $33 but does start to give you better than Razer internals. And the L7 ultra is just straight up better than the Razer options for a similar price. SE+ version is better battery I think, but also not sure they stock the regular SE. Still I would say get the base R1 if you can.
I would probably say just get a $30 mouse that is actually good like a VXE R1 or Mchose L7. Or wait for a sale on a Redragon mouse, seen good redragon mice on sale as low as $10 (or $17.50 if you didn't want an anime character on your mouse)
I would generally recommend avoiding attack shark. VXE R1 is probably the best option. You can also look at some Redragon options, M916/M918/M996 have paw 3395s under $30. Or if you have the welcome deal for AliExpress that+11/11 Coupon can get you some nice mice under $30.
How cheap? The VXE R1 starts sub $20 for better than the Glorious model o pro.
VXE R1 is still good. But if you want a coating, might as well get the VXE MAD R or Mchose L7 series. Similar price as the VXE R1 pro (which is the one with a coating), but with notable upgrades, including optical switches.
No, the Fantech tanto S for fantech tanto e prices would be a good deal, but it seems like they just doubled the price things should be. My recommendation would be a VXE R1.
The base VXE R1, that is the VXE R1 pro and pro max. Which is good, but steps into a higher price bracket where better options exist.
Both have great build quality. But VXE has way better software (including a web app) And shape is subjective, but they are about the same size.
The sensor is different
The sensor and using nearlink instead of a more traditional wireless solution. It's worse enough to maybe be noticeable if you tested, but as a human using it normally, you probably won't notice the difference.
Base R1 is a good shout, but the Harpoon is just garbage for the price. Mchose stuff is also really good, and TTC Gold scroll wheels are known to be good.
>Logitech G203, Razer DeathAdder Essential, Those are both terrible options. My recommendation is the Mchose L7 ultra+ if you can stretch your budget to $52.70. Otherwise: VXE Mad R is I think $49 with shipping included for even cheaper: VXE R1 is good. Redragon mice with the 3395 sensor are all decent options for cheap as well.
Attack Shark has issues, G309 fails basic specs of a modern gaming mouse. For a medium sized mouse I would generally recommend the Mchose L7 ultra+, but it's out of stock everywhere. VXE MAD R, Rapoo VT0 gen 2 max, VXE R1, are all decent options under $50.
VXE R1 has an entire series the pro (and pro max, which is the same mouse with a larger battery) is the highest end version. It's good, but by the time you get the the $45-50 price range, the Mchose L7 ultra+ or VXE MAD R are better options.
I am personally using the VGN VXE R1 Pro but you can get the R1 model, i guess its under 3000 rupees. These mouses are amazing, super lightweight and feels so good while gaming.
I'll write this everywhere. All Chinese mice are more or less the same. Take VGN F1, R1, Mad R and that's it.
but even though the equivelent in wired weighs less. its only going to be around 4 grams less, and as stated before, when you mouse is =<30\~ grams, its going to be a poor experience, as the cable dragging on the mouse pad will throw off your concentration. while it may not make you aim worse, its still annoying. rn im maining a vxe r1 se+ thats been heavily moddified and weighs 29g, and its wired, and despite doing a ziptie mod to the cable to raise it off the desk, it still bothers me, and the only reason i have boughten a 150mah battery is because even with a 580mah, i only get 35 hours of battery life, so with 150mah, i might get 8 hours if im lucky, and 3 of those hours wont even be usable as after the battery hits 30% the mouse goes into low power mode which feels like shit.
well the reason for this is because there is no mouse for everyone. everyone wants something different. and people have different experiences. lets take the attack shark x3. great mouse. great build quality. but i had a shitty experience because of my hand size. for the mice i recomended. the g3 is closest to the shape you want. teh vxe r1 is just amazing in general but not really the shape you want. the x11 is kinda meh. not great specs and not the shape you want, kinda big tbh. but its cheap. another option is the attack sahrk x3. it may have not been good for me but my hands are huge. and it is a shape that is smaller and the community loves it. its just a viper mini shape
Man of culture!! Satisfied User of the R1 SE+ here.
VXE R1 Series. I got the SE+ for 2600 from meckeys and it is lighter than all the ones here, fits my claw grip well and even for casual use is very handy.
VXE R1 or R1 SE+ (if you want better battery but slightly worse sensor)
Oh, accha. I don't really have an idea of the other variants but, the SE+ has a 500mAh battery, R1 has 250. And you're gonna have to check for Pro/Pro Max.

Easily lasts me over a week with at least 5-7 hours of usage everyday.

Yes, I don't think Pro is really worth it unless you're really really serious about it. SE+ is the best bang for the buck.
gah damn steel series sensei what a throwback I've been out of the mouse game for awhile now. recent bought the vxe r1 se+ and holy shit am I astonished by what 20$ can get you for a gaming mouse nowadays
i have bought 3 mice in last 5 years Logitech g102 (bought for 4.5k) - double click issue after 1 year Razer viper mini (bought for 5.5k, now expensive) - scroll wheel issue after 1.5 years ATK VXE R1 SE - 7.5k (currently using, wireless/wired, extremely low input delay, best of the best sensors available in market, clicks and wheel are supposed to be durable) either get this or attack shark r1 (5.5k)
G pro wireless, first thing to go was the side buttons and then the scroll wheel + double clicking issue. Now I'm just rocking vxe R1 SE+ and it's been solid, for 1/4 of the cost.
I would vouch for this, also you can try VXE R1 SE+
