A gaming mouse is a highly essential peripheral in a gamer's arsenal, almost an extension of their hands. Hence, it needs to be selected considering their playstyle and hand dimensions.

5) Razer Basilisk V2 ($34.99)
With 11 programmable buttons, one can pretty much play an entire game with just the mouse itself. Also, the mouse has enough RGB to satisfy the thirst of gamers. A point to note is that the mouse may feel slightly clunky or heavy to some people.

4) Cooler Master MM710 53G ($35.69)
This super-light ambidextrous (if you forgo the side buttons) is a great option for people who prefer fast movements and a low DPI. The only gripe would be the exclusion of RGB, although that's the reason why it's so light.
Pros
- Light, very light
- Ambidextrous shape (but buttons only on the left side)
- Braided cable
Cons
- Some may feel it's too light
- No RGB

3) Logitech G502 HERO ($39.99)
Pretty much the most popular gaming mouse in the world, the G502 Hero, is as polarizing as it's popular. While many people would prefer the extra 11 programmable buttons and the subtle RGB implementation, a lot of them would be turned off by the heavy and clunky build of this mouse.
Pros
- 11 programmable buttons
- Customizable RGB
- Adjustable weight system
- Braided cable
Cons
- Mouse may feel clunky/big/heavy for some
