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

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:10.559
gpro wireless or get sucked in with a budget option that over promises and

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:14.000
under delivers don't worry guys

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:19.279
we got you every option in this roundup has seen

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:21.039
the 30 to 50 price range on amazon in

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

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:30.400
worth monterey jack and which ones are a gouda choice

00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:33.440
those are some pretty cheesy jokes

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:35.520
just like my segways to our sponsor

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:39.440
thermal grizzly's conduct-not liquid metal thermal interface material offers

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:44.040
maximum cooling performance check it out and keep things cool at the link in the

video description

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:57.280
at just over 49 logitech's g305 wireless

00:00:54.480 --> 00:01:01.680
may be small but it packs a punch it's got omron switches all around a

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:06.080
mechanical button tensioning system that gives it a very satisfying and tactile

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:10.400
click it's got a low profile scroll wheel it's smooth and accurate a

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:14.799
convenient on-the-fly dpi switch and all six of the buttons are reprogrammable

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

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

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:28.640
decision that logitech's engineers did when you first pick it up it honestly

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

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

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:41.840
get tiring during an extended play session as for smaller hands you're

00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:46.320
still not going to be palming it but i had no comfort issues whatsoever its

00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:50.079
textured sides make it easy to pick up in spite of its lack of rubberized grips

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:53.920
and the thumb buttons are perfectly positioned out of the way

00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:58.399
until you need them the biggest selling points of the g305 wireless though are

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:02.560
logitech's aptly named hero sensor giving this mouse very accurate and very

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.439
fast tracking with no inherent acceleration and logitech's lightspeed

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:11.840
wireless technology for extremely low latency operation with a rated battery

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:16.080
life of 250 hours off a single double a battery a dongle compartment and an on

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:20.800
off switch on the bottom it's this roundup's most expensive mouse but it

00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:24.560
also punches way above its weight class in terms of performance the razer

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:31.040
basilisk is a middle ground entrant at 39.99 and 104 grams its cord is braided

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:35.360
and very flexible the plastic has a smooth rough texture to it that feels

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

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.360
which feel great no surprise there though considering that they're sourcing

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:44.879
them from omron the eight programmable buttons can

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:50.000
be customized with razer synapse software and it includes on-the-fly dpi

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:54.239
control along with a dpi clutch for temporarily dropping from your current

00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:58.000
dpi to a much lower one for precision aiming you can adjust the height of this

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:01.680
button or remove it entirely with the included accessories too nice now this

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:06.000
is another comfortable mouse for large hands with a nice high arch ribbed

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:10.159
rubber sides and a thumb shelf that makes for a nice secure hold no matter

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

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.720
accurate another neat feature of the basilisk is its adjustable scroll wheel

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:25.599
so the bottom here has this little tiny dial that will actually change the

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:29.040
resistance of the scroll on top super cool there's also a dedicated switch for

00:03:27.519 --> 00:03:33.040
cycling through the five onboard profiles that are available and

00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:40.720
tastefully applied RGB two great options so far this is going great next up is

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:43.280
the red dragon m908 impact RGB at 32.87

00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:48.360
it is terrible the only redeeming quality of this mouse is the eight-piece

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

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.439
as a paperweight we absolutely love this one but as a mouse

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:04.480
you could do much better you should just get a g600 instead

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

00:04:07.519 --> 00:04:14.080
so at 136 grams but all of the g600s 20

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:18.079
buttons can be reprogrammed with g-hub and saved to one of the three on-board

00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:23.840
profiles you get a little bit of RGB customization and you get on-the-fly dpi

00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:26.560
switches macro kings rejoice if you have

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:30.960
large hands you're gonna love the spoony experience of holding this one

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:34.880
and somehow logitech even still managed to make it comfortable for those of us

00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:41.199
who are less well endowed FPS gamers though need not apply we notice the left

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:42.960
right and ring yes it has three clicks

00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:47.440
all have relatively long travel distances and the thumb buttons while

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:51.440
plenty are a little on the mushy feeling side and they don't give you much

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.040
feedback also if you pick up the mouse to reposition it on your mouse pad there

00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:59.759
is a reasonable chance that you'll miss click a thumb button or the ring button

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:04.800
it uses an older but still very respectable avago s9808 sensor but

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:09.360
here's the thing it may have some drawbacks but at 33 dollars this is a

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

00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:17.520
you just want to use it as a productivity mouse at the office our

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:22.880
first ambidextrous design of the day the razer lance head tournament edition is

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:25.440
also just 39.99 and just slightly

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:28.639
heavier than the basilisk at 105 grams so there's so much shared between the

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:33.120
two razor mice so far that we're gonna focus on the differences there's one

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:36.639
less memory profile on board no scroll wheel adjustment though the wheel does

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:40.720
feel pretty good it's got one more programmable button and it's available

00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:45.280
in an extra color gunmetal the lens head is slightly smaller and symmetrical so

00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:49.680
with large hands it's not as comfortable when palming but a claw grip is still

00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:52.960
reasonably comfortable and as for small hands well

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

00:05:55.840 --> 00:06:02.479
as comfortable in the left or in the right hand the middle mouse click is a

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:06.560
little bit spongy but we have no performance complaints making this a

00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:13.120
solid option for both righties and lefties hyperx is shining bright with

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:15.919
their pulse fire surge each of its 32

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:20.400
RGB leds is individually customizable with their ingenuity software which can

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:26.000
also be used to reprogram its six buttons the pixar 3389 sensor is well

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:30.720
liked for its fast accurate tracking and the surge also boasts omron switches

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:36.000
rubberized sides and on-the-fly dpi switching all at a svelt 100 gram weight

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

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

00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:47.919
mind a claw grip it's symmetrical shape means that palming is out pretty much

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:52.880
regardless of your hand size the side buttons are well positioned but only on

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:57.919
the left meaning that it's a symmetrical but not ambidextrous design a bit of a

00:06:55.520 --> 00:07:03.520
strange choice but overall while the surge is a tad expensive for its feature

00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:06.560
set hey good RGB is good RGB now razer's

00:07:03.520 --> 00:07:08.479
back with the deathadder elite for 33

00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:14.400
dollars you get a no-nonsense high-performance mouse with razer omron

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:17.120
switches the 5g bmw 3390 optical sensor

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

00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:26.240
102 grams still and feels balanced in the hand the seven buttons available are

00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:30.240
all reprogrammable in synapse and it's got the same nicely braided cord as its

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.639
razer brethren and a scroll wheel with a satisfying

00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:36.960
click under a large or a small hand the mouse

00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:40.479
is most comfortable while palming because with a claw style grip it's a

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:45.440
little harder to grasp due to the comfortable but slightly

00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:49.840
slippery rubber side grips the thumb buttons are nearly as satisfying and

00:07:47.520 --> 00:07:53.680
quick to actuate as the g305s buttons and overall it delivers fantastic

00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:59.440
performance while being one of the less expensive options in our lineup here the

00:07:55.919 --> 00:08:02.000
g403 is priced at just 43. and finds

00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:06.319
itself in the featherweight class at 89 grams it is similar in size to the

00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:11.120
basilisk and the lance head but with a slightly narrower rear end and both palm

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:15.680
and claw grips allowing for what feels like a very secure grip with little

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:21.759
required force now where the 305 wireless used up its budget on being

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:24.240
well wireless the 403 clearly spent it

00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:28.560
on build quality the sides have smooth but still surprisingly grippy feeling

00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:33.039
rubber the thumb buttons are fast and clicky because logitech put omron

00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:38.000
switches in all six of the programmable keys it's got a flexible braided cable

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

00:08:40.719 --> 00:08:47.600
for dessert logitech included a 10 gram disc to help bump the g403's overall

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

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

00:08:55.760 --> 00:09:03.519
beat 32 addressable leds if you're a lefty you can enjoy your smorgasbord of

00:09:00.959 --> 00:09:06.080
choice you can have a razor lance head or a

00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:09.600
razor lance head see that right there

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

00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:17.680
you should get the g600 that's definitely the way to go if you like to

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:21.200
palm grip and especially if you have larger hands the death adder elite

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

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

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:36.399
mind cheaping out on some of the creature comforts for zero compromises

00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:40.800
wireless performance as for

00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:43.360
