FPS Gaming Mice Decisions

HyperX Pulsefire FPS Gaming Mouse vs Logitech G203 Prodigy

Looking for a good build, smooth scrolling, etc. I'm not very particular with anything else, unless if the sensor doesn't work right for FPS games, and if it's hard to hold. I also want good software to edit the buttons, DPI, etc. Not like some weird off brand software that doesn't help.

Logitech is always the way to go. Their mice are durable, even the cheap ones.

Neither of those mice will deliver any of the things you want. They're both flimsy plastic wannabes.

I would check out the Steelseries Sensei, Logitech G900, Corsair M65 Pro, FinalMouse, Cougar M600 and SaiTEK RAT.

These are all performance mice, they're very light and have top-tier Optical sensors. In other words they actually have a performance advantage to justify the price. The Logitech and Steelseries in particular have great scrollwheels and great build quality.

> The Logitech is the pick of the bunch. It's got a specs and features list none of the others can match, and a price to go with it.
> The Corsair is the bargain of the bunch. It's got impressive specs, but it's also amazing value. The only downside being it's right-hand only and has somewhat unpleasant plastics.

< Avoid mice made by Cooling Product companies. Would you really buy a mouse from a company that makes electrical fans? What could they possibly know about making mice.
< Avoid Razer products. Razer have an infamous reputation of poor build quality, lax quality control and cheap materials. They talk a great fight, but they aren't worth a damn in actual gameplay.

Always maintain a healthy cynicism. No brand is perfect, and no brand stays on form forever. Even Logitech has it's failures, their racing wheels are unreliable, they keyboards are tacky anbd plasticy and their headsets are absolutely awful.

Giving your blind loyalty to any company would be a mistake.

...Steelseries Sensei...

Got bit by the scroll wheel issue[ngandy.me] on my sensei, just after a month it started jumping on me - got to the point I unplugged it and threw it across the room - and immediately went to best buy and grabbed a G303, was completely satisfied after that.

I assumed he was going with a budget. I have my sights on that G900 wireless as well. But it's pricey.

I know, but it's worth every cent. I bought my G900 specially for FPS gaming, intending to use my Asus Spatha as a daily. And yet six months later the Spatha belongs to a friend and the G900 has become my daily use. It's easily the best mouse I've ever owned, my only complaint is that keeping the glossy stripe clean is somewhat tricky.

It's just so practical and easy to live with. It's comfortable enough to be a work mouse, the grip easily fits into my palm even with smaller hands than it was designed for. The button placement is perfect and the 100G weight is ideal for me. It'll last a week on a full charge, and recharging takes less than an hour and can be done while gaming.

As a gaming mouse it feels extremely precise and well balanced, while having negligable inertia. The Logitech 12,000 CPI sensor is great as ever, it's very precise especially over small movements. Perfect for sniping, perfect for fine control.

Yeah, i'm actually on a budget at this point so I only really want something under 50$ with great build, a really reliable sensor, and something that would last a while.

I would go with the Corsair M65. It delivers everything you're looking for, and last I checked they're about $49. Even if it's above your budget, it's worth stretching for. It outclasses anything else within that price range by enough to justify the extra money.

The M65 has similar strengths to my G900, but at 1/3rd the price. It's extremely light and carries the battle-tested Pixart 12,000 CPI sensor. It's a reliable and very high-performance sensor that's commonly used in top-level E-Sports mice, with the M65 being the cheapest mouse I know of to carry it. And it's worth having for that reason alone.

Between the two, the pulsefire seems decent enough build quality and with the deathadder shape would be a good choice if you palm-grip for sure. Has a pixart 3310 which is pretty good. The g203 has also has a good sensor, good build quality and would be better for claw and fingertip grips, both of which I use on my g-pro (same shape as the g203). Should be good for palm as well but can't vouch since I switch between fingertip / claw and it's the cheaper of the two so you get a better value out of it at the moment.

TLDR - g203, better budget choice. Pulsefire - better choice if budget is not an issue (although a good value at the moment at under $40) and palm-grip is your preference.

I don't trust HyperX. I've bought from them previously and always been bitten on build quality. Neither would I trust a RAM manufacturer to make good mice.

Grip depends on hand size.

Yea pretty much why I said what I said, the logitechs are a bit on the small side but may work for palm in favor of budget. The pulsefire is a bit larger and more expensive, and the shape should work out unless you palm grip and have really small hands e.g. child or dwarf, in that case the g203 is win/win lol

I was told the m65 was the worst mouse to buy on another thread

The G203 can be purchased for $20 on sale: https://camelcamelcamel.com/G203-Prodigy-Wired-Gaming-Mouse/product/B01M26YUKO

Maybe I have too much money but that seems like a safe bet.

It was 20$ a while ago but i didn't buy it in time

[Talby]

yea you should check out RJNs find-a-mouse[www.rocketjumpninja.com] guide it really depends on your hand size and grip style to make a determination. The M65, have used it short-term (friend has one) works for me since I claw/finger grip it works out ok but have not used one long term and again its a bit larger and heavier so that may affect weather or not someone will like it or not (and was a bit heavy for my preference). Also there are both laser and optical versions of the m65 so that also makes things confusing.
