In the world of gaming and gaming peripherals, a mouse is perhaps one of the essential accessories.
Whether you love playing FPS games or an MMORPG or simple RPG games, a gaming mouse can make or break your entire gaming experience.
And well, a gaming mouse is not about the number of programmable buttons or the performance. The looks and comfort also matter a great deal. More importantly, it should also feature a cool hue of colors (read RPG) to ramp up the looks of your gaming station.
In this post today, we have listed some of the best gaming mice that are available in India under Rs 5,000.
1. STEELSERIES RIVAL 110 OPTICAL GAMING MOUSE
If you're looking for a modestly-priced gaming mouse, the SteelSeries Rival 110 makes for a good choice. This one promises great performances and features. However, its most remarkable feature is its larger DPI range (for its price). Plus, this mid-sized mouse is light and comfortable and is likely to fit well in most people’s hands.
When it comes to the design, the Rival 110 keeps things simple and doesn't do anything drastic with the design. Furthermore, its nearly ambidextrous design makes it easy to hold. The design is 'nearly' ambidextrous because the side buttons on the left are a tad difficult to reach with the left hand.
Other than that, the textured grips on the sides and on the scroll wheel will help you tackle the mouse better. Plus, there are six programmable buttons.
Being a gaming mouse, the SteelSeries Rival 110 sports RGB lighting which gives it a cool look, especially in the dark. Since it is a budget gaming mouse, you won't find removable weights at the bottom.
Performance-wise, the Rival 110 is a solid and consistent performer, thanks to the responsive mechanical switch. And well, there are plenty of Amazon reviews to back up that claim.
2. CORSAIR M65 PRO RGB-FPS GAMING MOUSE
Love FPS games? The Corsair M65 Pro RGB gaming mouse is designed just for you. The highlight of this mouse is its unique 'Sniper' button that lets you lower the DPI instantly for more precise shots. And that's not all. The solid aluminum frame gives this mouse a solid build. Plus, its highly responsive optical sensor is rated at 12,000DPI.
Though it has a rather unusual shape, it's comfortable to use and is likely to fit most hands.
Unlike the one above, this mouse comes with two DPI adjustment buttons as well as a DPI light. Other than that, all the buttons are customizable. You can reassign a function of your choice through the Corsair CUE software. Also, the cable is braided to prevent unnecessary tangles.
We have been using the Corsair M65 Pro RGB-FPS Gaming Mouse for about a year now. So, we can safely say that it works great with FPS games, especially the dedicated DPI switching aim button. The tracking is up there with most other popular gaming mice we've used, and the adjustable weights are a welcome addition.
