For $50, you still get a whole lot of functionality.

The Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless is perhaps the best gaming mouse if you’re looking for an inexpensive wireless mouse from a major manufacturer. Read our full Razer DeathAdder V2 review.

Razer Viper Ultimate is another wireless mouse to consider. Consider also the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro, which is a wireless version of the beloved mouse. If you want something smaller, there's also the Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini to consider. On the other hand, if you want something that's both straightforward and full-featured, the DeathAdder V2 is one of the very best gaming mice on the market. There's almost nothing working against the DeathAdder V2, save for a sometimes recalcitrant software suite, and the fact that other mice offer a lot more bells and whistles. The DeathAdder V2 features a comfortable grip, plenty of programmable buttons, customizable RGB lighting and excellent performance across a variety of genres. The reason behind the mouse's ongoing popularity is simple: It's a very, very good mouse. The very first DeathAdder came out in 2006, and since then, it's sold more than 10 million units. The Razer DeathAdder V2 is the latest in a long line of Razer DeathAdder mice. Read our full SteelSeries Rival 3 review. Tom's Guide is also currently in the process of reviewing the SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless variant. Even if you’re not an ultra-competitive player, however, the Rival 3 is a comfortable, well-designed mouse with far more features than you’d expect for the price. SteelSeries claims that this feature can help esports players, who rely on subtle twitches and quick wrist motions to dominate the competition.

The biggest selling point of the Rival 3, however, is its incredibly light weight: 2.7 ounces. It even has subtle RGB lighting, thanks to a rather elaborate LED strip on the bottom of the mouse. And yet, the Rival 3 features the same superlative Danish engineering and robust software as other SteelSeries mice. Thirty dollars is what you’d usually pay for a cheap, no-name gaming mouse on Amazon, but not for a high-quality peripheral from a major manufacturer.

When I reviewed the SteelSeries Rival 3, I did a double-take when I learned how much this mouse cost.
