It’s not uncommon for today’s best gaming mice to carry price tags over $100, but if you’re in the market for something much more affordable, check out the Logitech G305 Wireless Gaming Mouse discounted at Amazon. You can now pick it up for just $28.50 (was $50), which is the best price we’ve seen this year (and just shy of its all-time low of $24.88).
$28.50 (was $50)
The G305 is a no-frills mouse that’s ideal for casual gaming across all genres. Featuring a 12K sensor for accurate movement tracking, up to 12,000 DPI, an ambidextrous design, and a 1ms response time thanks to the Lightspeed USB receiver, it’s shockingly well-equipped given its new low price point. It’s also quite light at just 99 grams, so you won’t have to worry about wrist strain during long gaming sessions.
You won’t have to worry about its battery running out either, as it’s rated for up to 250 hours on a single AA battery. There are a few side buttons as well, giving it a total of 6 programmable buttons–so while it’s probably not enough for dedicated MMORPG players, it’s more than enough for most other uses.
If you need to travel with the mouse, it benefits from a built-in storage slot for the USB receiver. A two-year limited warranty is included for added peace of mind. The black version of this mouse is the most affordable at $28.50, and a white version is also available for $31. Blue, lilac, and mint colors are also on sale–though the price cuts aren’t nearly as impressive.
$69 (was $130)
Willing to stretch your budget by $40? Take a peek at the Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse that’s also on sale right now. It features a better 25K sensor than the G305, plus up to 25,600 DPI for added flexibility. It also shed some weight, clocking in at 80 grams instead of 99, and tacks on two extra customizable buttons, bringing the total number to eight. It still boasts an ambidextrous design and a 1ms response time (thanks to the same Lightspeed USB receiver), but its other specs make it a better fit for folks serious about competitive gaming.
Logitech makes a bunch of popular gaming mice–so if you’re not sold on either of the two above, here are a handful of others to check out. These are all more expensive than the two above, but if you’re seeking a premium companion for all your gaming endeavors, they’re worth a closer look. For something truly different, 8BitDo recently released a Retro R8 Mouse and Mechanical Keyboard with striking designs inspired by Halo.
