While there will always be love for either wireless or plug-and-play controllers, it would be an understatement to say that keyboard and mouse was one of the best ways to game. That doesn't mean it's simple, though, as there's a lot of factors that go into deciding on a mouse, and a market chalk full of some of the best gaming hardware out there to choose from.
As such, those considering a new gaming mouse should look no further than this selection below. While some are better budget options and some are better as flashy, high-tier options, there's one constant here: all of these gaming mice would make a fine addition to a PC gaming rig.
Corsair Ironclaw RGB
Looking at its price point, it's easy enough to overlook the Corsair Ironclaw RGB as a budget gaming mouse, but it packs a punch for its punch. Its grip is impressive, the material it is made of is doubly so, and the lighting options are impressive enough to where it wouldn't seem like a budget mouse. The DPI settings, the rubber sides, the braided cable, and the sensor are all what consumers would expect of higher end gaming mice, but this one fits the bill without breaking the bank.
- Corsair Ironclaw RBG retails at $54.99.
Lingyi Gaming Mouse
Those looking for a cheaper mouse, one with more universal use between office work and gameplay, could also consider a Lingyi Gaming Mouse as an alternative. It features 4 adjustable DPIs, 6 programmable buttons, and a couple of LED lights, just enough where there's no mistaking it for a gaming mouse. There's a lot more out there that would do better, but for its price, it's hard to beat.
- Lingyi Gaming Mouse retails at $19.99.
Logitech G Pro X Superlight Wireless Gaming Mouse
The name G Pro X Superlight wireless gaming mouse practically says it all, as Logitech boasts it as its lightest an fastest Pro mouse ever. Designed with speed, precision, and zero opposition in mind, this gaming mouse is one designed for high-end esports professionals. It'd also make a good gift for someone who is highly competitive or even a Twitch streamer looking to upgrade. Of course, it's natural to worry about any form of input lag when it comes to a wireless gaming mouse, but this mouse boasts LIGHTSPEED tech for high-end responsiveness, high-end performance, and a reliably connection at all times.
- The Logitech G Pro X Superlight Wireless Gaming Mouse retails at $149.99.
Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse
The G502 Lightspeed has a focus on lightspeed precision, tunable weight, hyperfast scrolling, a Hero 25K sensor, and 11 customizable buttons. Logitech is a trusted brand, and it's hard to go wrong with either of these mice. Instead, players may want to opt to consider their long-term goals of investing in either the G502 Lightspeed or the G Pro X Superlight.
- The Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse retails at $149.99, but can be found on sale right now for $99.99.
Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini
As we wrote in our review, the Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini is perfect for those with smaller hands. While the mouse shrinks down, there is no loss in quality. Compared to the standard sized DeathAdder V2, there was no significant changes in terms of performance, as both are heavily precise an responsive. There is a slight learning curve for those with bigger hands, something those looking into a gaming mouse should consider, but there is a lot packed into a tiny package here. For gaming, the DeathAdder V2 Mini's bells and whistles make it worth every penny.
- The Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini retails at $49.99.
Razer Naga Pro
Unlike the DeathAdder V2 Mini, the Razer Naga Pro is a standard-sized mouse that pushes high-end features and versatility. It comes with three plates that can be swapped out with ease, perfectly suiting the game who loves everything from deeply intense and story-driven MMOs to multiplayer first-person shooters like Call of Duty and Apex Legends.

Redragon M908 Impact RGB LED MMO Mouse
The Redragon M908 has the standard array of mouse features, and while it can double as an office mouse as well, there's one big thing going for it: specialization. It's not as versatile as some gaming mice, but as it names suggests, it's great for MMO players. With 7 buttons and 12 MMO programable side buttons, everything players will need to get the most out of their MMO will literally be in their hand.

Steelseries Sensei 310
For some, it can be hard to find a mouse that fits just right in the hand. The Steelseries Sensei 210, however, is designed with multiple grip styles in mind, with it boasted as an ambidextrous mouse for clam and palm grip styles. The exclusive split trigger comes with a 50 million click durability guaranteed, with customizable lighting and all the bells and whistles one would want out of a mouse.
