Is it really worth buying expensive mouse anymore?

[kaiteck]

I've seen steelseries,logitech, and razer mice from my friends. They are indeed good but is it really worth that much? I've been seeing you guys here recommend such ex mice. They cost like around 70 bucks! While here... I'm using $10 powerlogic mouse for 2 years. An advanced optical mouse with 2 programmable side buttons and adjustable dpi button 800/1600/2400. And it performs just like a lower dpi brother of $50 Logitech G400[3600dpi] Some of my friends asked how much does my mouse cost. I lied that it cost around $50 and they really BELIEVED in it...



Unfortunately,I can't seem to find my gaming mouse model anymore. But recently I bought one of these.

Unless you are an esport pro or on a high-end WoW raiding/arena team, you won't *need* a mouse like that.

Are those great mice? Absolutely. Will you play better with one? Certainly .Is the performance boost worth the pricetag? Maybe.

In the end if you want it and think it'll make a big enough difference, go for it. If you balk at the high $, you should still be alright with something cheaper.

I just need some evidence to prove that a $90 mouse is still better than the mouse i have. I compared mine to my friend's deathadder. The only difference i can find is the different grip design. Mine is a bit lighter but lower dpi. I didn't even notice the difference between 2400 and 3200 other than the fact I had to slow everything way down because it was too fast for me. Both have braided cables. Both have programmable side buttons.Both actually don't feel cheap, which explains why my friend believed that its $50. What's the different in performance? More than 2000 dpi is already pretty unnecessary. I've seen many people using less than 2000dpi settings when they own a 6400dpi mouse. Really!? I think its time for people to realize that these mice are really gimmicks.

i have the $11($16) etekcity scroll x1 mouse and i love it. i have seen it go on deal many times for $11 on amazon(i used a friends prime account for free shipping). i think its the reigning mouse king of price/performance ratio.

my bf4 example, i run it at 1600dpi, switch to 2400dpi in certain times where a vehicle drops your sensitivity, or drop it to 800dpi if im running the 40x ballistic scope camping trying to get long sniper shots 😛

And I'm with you on this -- you buy a mouse based on its design, features and performance. Not the best performance, but performance you need and a design that will feel good in your hand, with features that you'll actually use.

Many of these mice are on the market just for the sake of it -- somebody's bound to buy at least one. Then there are the bigger companies (*cough*razer*cough) that target uneducated gamers specifically to sell them things they don't even need.
That said, not all expensive mice are bad, but again, few are good enough to justify their price (often well into the $100s).

My $5 mouse is fantastic. Battery has been lasting for half as year even.
