1. Razer Deathadder Elite
16,000 DPI | 7 Buttons | 50 Million clicks | Right-handed design | 7-foot Cable | 105 g Weight
At the winner of numerous gaming and tech awards, the Razer Deathadder Elite is easily one of the best mouses on the market for both casual and competitive gamers.
From a technical standpoint, the Deathadder is equipped with a 16,000 DPI optical sensor and tracking at 450 Inches Per Second. But those are more than just fancy words. With 99.4% resolution accuracy, your tracking will be on point, even if you move your mouse around like a paint shaker.
While the Deathadder is undeniably a great mouse in a technical sense, my personal favorite aspect is the shape and comfort that accommodates basically any style of gaming or hand grip, whether that’s a claw, palm, or finger tips.

2. Logitech MX518
16,000 DPI | 16K Sensor | 8 Buttons | Right-handed design | 6.2 m Cable | 101 g Weight
The original Logitech MX518 is one of the most recognizable and iconic gaming mouses ever created, and the updated version pays homage to the original design – but with a few new twists. While the mouse maintains the classic look and feel, it has been upgraded with the HERO 16K sensor and 5 saveable button profiles.
One of my favorite aspects about this mouse is the design. It’s sleek, it’s sexy, and it’s somehow both modern and retro at the same time.
Logitech has dubbed the mouse “The Legend Reborn”, and we couldn’t agree more.

7. SteelSeries Sensei 310
12,000 CPI | 8 Buttons | TrueMove3 Sensor | 50 Million clicks | 2 m Cable | 92 g Weight | Ambidextrous design
The Sensei 310 is the first of two SteelSeries gaming mouses in the list and is their best mouse for under $100.
At first glance, the most noticeable part of this mouse is the ambidextrous layout and silicon side-grips that help you keep control even with a sweaty palm. Looking inside, the Sensei 310 comes with a SteelSeries’ custom “1-to-1” tracking technology.
One thing you have to look out for when using an ambidextrous mouse is that having two large buttons on either side can lead to some unintentional clicks with your pinky finger.
Pro Review
“I win because I work hard to be the best, and I need gear that can keep up. I’ve been winning LAN’s using a prototype of the Sensei 310 since early this year. When I’m finished with it, it will have won millions.”
