00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,839
your gaming mouse needs an upgrade but you don't want to spend a fortune on a

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:10,559
gpro wireless or get sucked in with a budget option that over promises and

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:14,000
under delivers don't worry guys

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:19,279
we got you every option in this roundup has seen

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,039
the 30 to 50 price range on amazon in

6
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:25,760
the last couple of months and we've taken the time to see which ones ain't

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:30,400
worth monterey jack and which ones are a gouda choice

8
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:33,440
those are some pretty cheesy jokes

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,520
just like my segways to our sponsor

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:39,440
thermal grizzly's conduct-not liquid metal thermal interface material offers

maximum cooling performance check it out and keep things cool at the link in the

video description

13
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:57,280
at just over 49 logitech's g305 wireless

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:01,680
may be small but it packs a punch it's got omron switches all around a

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:06,080
mechanical button tensioning system that gives it a very satisfying and tactile

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,400
click it's got a low profile scroll wheel it's smooth and accurate a

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:14,799
convenient on-the-fly dpi switch and all six of the buttons are reprogrammable

18
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:20,400
using logitech's g-hub software sadly it's got no RGB lighting but if i had to

19
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:24,400
pick that or the g305s on-board memory to save my profile i would make the same

20
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:28,640
decision that logitech's engineers did when you first pick it up it honestly

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,520
feels a little cheap but part of that is that it weighs just 96 grams for large

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,439
hands it's usable if you choke up on the mouse and use a claw grip but that could

23
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:41,840
get tiring during an extended play session as for smaller hands you're

24
00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:46,320
still not going to be palming it but i had no comfort issues whatsoever its

25
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:50,079
textured sides make it easy to pick up in spite of its lack of rubberized grips

26
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:53,920
and the thumb buttons are perfectly positioned out of the way

27
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:58,399
until you need them the biggest selling points of the g305 wireless though are

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,560
logitech's aptly named hero sensor giving this mouse very accurate and very

29
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,439
fast tracking with no inherent acceleration and logitech's lightspeed

30
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,840
wireless technology for extremely low latency operation with a rated battery

31
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:16,080
life of 250 hours off a single double a battery a dongle compartment and an on

32
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:20,800
off switch on the bottom it's this roundup's most expensive mouse but it

33
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,560
also punches way above its weight class in terms of performance the razer

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:31,040
basilisk is a middle ground entrant at 39.99 and 104 grams its cord is braided

35
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:35,360
and very flexible the plastic has a smooth rough texture to it that feels

36
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,040
nice to hold and comes in black pink and white and it's got razor zone switches

37
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,360
which feel great no surprise there though considering that they're sourcing

38
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:44,879
them from omron the eight programmable buttons can

39
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:50,000
be customized with razer synapse software and it includes on-the-fly dpi

40
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:54,239
control along with a dpi clutch for temporarily dropping from your current

41
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,000
dpi to a much lower one for precision aiming you can adjust the height of this

42
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:01,680
button or remove it entirely with the included accessories too nice now this

43
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
is another comfortable mouse for large hands with a nice high arch ribbed

44
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:10,159
rubber sides and a thumb shelf that makes for a nice secure hold no matter

45
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,360
what kind of a grip you use and razer's 5g bmw 3390 sensor is both fast and

46
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:20,720
accurate another neat feature of the basilisk is its adjustable scroll wheel

47
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:25,599
so the bottom here has this little tiny dial that will actually change the

48
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:29,040
resistance of the scroll on top super cool there's also a dedicated switch for

49
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:33,040
cycling through the five onboard profiles that are available and

50
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:40,720
tastefully applied RGB two great options so far this is going great next up is

51
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:43,280
the red dragon m908 impact RGB at 32.87

52
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:48,360
it is terrible the only redeeming quality of this mouse is the eight-piece

53
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:55,599
weight set that allows you to go from 117 grams all the way up to 139 grams so

54
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,439
as a paperweight we absolutely love this one but as a mouse

55
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:04,480
you could do much better you should just get a g600 instead

56
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:11,760
uh where's my g600 out there it is now it is a little heavy and non-adjustably

57
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:14,080
so at 136 grams but all of the g600s 20

58
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:18,079
buttons can be reprogrammed with g-hub and saved to one of the three on-board

59
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:23,840
profiles you get a little bit of RGB customization and you get on-the-fly dpi

60
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:26,560
switches macro kings rejoice if you have

61
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:30,960
large hands you're gonna love the spoony experience of holding this one

62
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:34,880
and somehow logitech even still managed to make it comfortable for those of us

63
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:41,199
who are less well endowed FPS gamers though need not apply we notice the left

64
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:42,960
right and ring yes it has three clicks

65
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:47,440
all have relatively long travel distances and the thumb buttons while

66
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:51,440
plenty are a little on the mushy feeling side and they don't give you much

67
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:55,040
feedback also if you pick up the mouse to reposition it on your mouse pad there

68
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:59,759
is a reasonable chance that you'll miss click a thumb button or the ring button

69
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:04,800
it uses an older but still very respectable avago s9808 sensor but

70
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:09,360
here's the thing it may have some drawbacks but at 33 dollars this is a

71
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:12,479
lot of mouse for the money if you're out to increase your macro game or even if

72
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:17,520
you just want to use it as a productivity mouse at the office our

73
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:22,880
first ambidextrous design of the day the razer lance head tournament edition is

74
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:25,440
also just 39.99 and just slightly

75
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,639
heavier than the basilisk at 105 grams so there's so much shared between the

76
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:33,120
two razor mice so far that we're gonna focus on the differences there's one

77
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,639
less memory profile on board no scroll wheel adjustment though the wheel does

78
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:40,720
feel pretty good it's got one more programmable button and it's available

79
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:45,280
in an extra color gunmetal the lens head is slightly smaller and symmetrical so

80
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:49,680
with large hands it's not as comfortable when palming but a claw grip is still

81
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:52,960
reasonably comfortable and as for small hands well

82
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:58,320
the size is actually just right for a palm grip but in practice it's just not

83
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:02,479
as comfortable in the left or in the right hand the middle mouse click is a

84
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:06,560
little bit spongy but we have no performance complaints making this a

85
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:13,120
solid option for both righties and lefties hyperx is shining bright with

86
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:15,919
their pulse fire surge each of its 32

87
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:20,400
RGB leds is individually customizable with their ingenuity software which can

88
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:26,000
also be used to reprogram its six buttons the pixar 3389 sensor is well

89
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:30,720
liked for its fast accurate tracking and the surge also boasts omron switches

90
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:36,000
rubberized sides and on-the-fly dpi switching all at a svelt 100 gram weight

91
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:39,680
now the mouse can feel a bit back end heavy when you're lifting it off the

92
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:44,160
table but the smooth rubber sides do help a fair bit as long as you don't

93
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:47,919
mind a claw grip it's symmetrical shape means that palming is out pretty much

94
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:52,880
regardless of your hand size the side buttons are well positioned but only on

95
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:57,919
the left meaning that it's a symmetrical but not ambidextrous design a bit of a

96
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:03,520
strange choice but overall while the surge is a tad expensive for its feature

97
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:06,560
set hey good RGB is good RGB now razer's

98
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,479
back with the deathadder elite for 33

99
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:14,400
dollars you get a no-nonsense high-performance mouse with razer omron

100
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:17,120
switches the 5g bmw 3390 optical sensor

101
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:21,840
and chroma RGB it is one of the bigger mice in the roundup but it only weighs

102
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:26,240
102 grams still and feels balanced in the hand the seven buttons available are

103
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:30,240
all reprogrammable in synapse and it's got the same nicely braided cord as its

104
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,639
razer brethren and a scroll wheel with a satisfying

105
00:07:31,599 --> 00:07:36,960
click under a large or a small hand the mouse

106
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,479
is most comfortable while palming because with a claw style grip it's a

107
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,440
little harder to grasp due to the comfortable but slightly

108
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:49,840
slippery rubber side grips the thumb buttons are nearly as satisfying and

109
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:53,680
quick to actuate as the g305s buttons and overall it delivers fantastic

110
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:59,440
performance while being one of the less expensive options in our lineup here the

111
00:07:55,919 --> 00:08:02,000
g403 is priced at just 43. and finds

112
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:06,319
itself in the featherweight class at 89 grams it is similar in size to the

113
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:11,120
basilisk and the lance head but with a slightly narrower rear end and both palm

114
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:15,680
and claw grips allowing for what feels like a very secure grip with little

115
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:21,759
required force now where the 305 wireless used up its budget on being

116
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:24,240
well wireless the 403 clearly spent it

117
00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:28,560
on build quality the sides have smooth but still surprisingly grippy feeling

118
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:33,039
rubber the thumb buttons are fast and clicky because logitech put omron

119
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:38,000
switches in all six of the programmable keys it's got a flexible braided cable

120
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:43,039
attached to the body and there are two RGB zones for you to customize in g-hub

121
00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:47,600
for dessert logitech included a 10 gram disc to help bump the g403's overall

122
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:53,120
weight to 99 grams if you're into that making the g403 a killer value so if RGB

123
00:08:50,959 --> 00:08:58,480
is your thing i guess the pulse fire surge is the way to go uh you just can't

124
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:03,519
beat 32 addressable leds if you're a lefty you can enjoy your smorgasbord of

125
00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:06,080
choice you can have a razor lance head or a

126
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:09,600
razor lance head see that right there

127
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:14,320
if you like a lot of buttons you can get the red dragon no i'm just kidding uh

128
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,680
you should get the g600 that's definitely the way to go if you like to

129
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,200
palm grip and especially if you have larger hands the death adder elite

130
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:26,720
stands out and if you're a pure FPS gamer well i like the basilisk or the

131
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,680
g403 best if you can deal with the cord drag or the 305 wireless if you don't

132
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:36,399
mind cheaping out on some of the creature comforts for zero compromises

133
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:40,800
wireless performance as for

134
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:43,360
the answer to our original question

135
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:46,000
