Potato Tech: Finding the Best Gaming Mouse Under $10!

2016-05-15
what's up guys welcome back to the channel today I'm going to be talking about these five horrible horrible gaming mice actually I shouldn't say that some of them are horrible and some are less much less horrible than others however they are all in the price range of less than $10 on Amazon as of now checking out five gaming mice under $10 each and I'm going to see which ones are and which ones are actually worth buying perhaps now first off why would you even buy $10 gaming mouse well for one let's say you're just on an extremely tight budget that might be the only option you have or maybe it's not necessarily for you but a gift for a loved one spouse you know child friend who is kind of into gaming but not really enough to warrant buying like a $50 gaming mouse for example that could be a possibility or maybe you're just looking for a reliable backup well I don't want a reliable but maybe you're just looking for a backup Mouse in case you're your daily driver you know hits the fan or whatever and you just need to backup right away then maybe you'll look into something like this by the way these are all the top rated some of the top rated user reviewed mice on Amazon so that's why I picked them and I've already arranged them here in front of me from my least favorite Mouse on your your right to my most favorite Mouse I'm going to be going down the line from worst to best explaining what works for me and what doesn't so on that note why don't we go ahead and take a look at our first contender here which is the been gue these all have funky names because they're all you know Chinese OAM knockoff brands or whatever and a lot of them are using the same parts and whatnot but this is Bingu and you can always tell it's Chinese OEM crap because it's got like three different names it's got like game start hem zone and then the product page on Amazon says Bangu so who knows what it's really called honestly the comfort level is fairly fairly good I like the way I like the shape I like the feel when I put my mouse when I put my hand on the mouse I am a claw grip user so bear that in mind that's the perspective I'm looking at this I'll leave all of these reviews as but yeah the comfort level is actually pretty good it's fairly comfortable for my hand and the way I use mice however it is fairly lightweight it's actually the lightest Mouse I believe in our lineup here and I prefer a bit of heft to my gaming mice and this is just far too light for that so I would have to dock at some points there also I forgot to mention this that all of these mice are using optical sensors and all of them are horrible that's just nature of the beast it comes with the territory that if you buy a $10 gaming mouse you're going to get a pretty lousy sensor so just for the for the sake of argument assume that all these sensors are the equal amount of suck now my biggest gripe with this mouse is that the buttons are all super hyper sensitive first of all they're springy especially the front and back buttons they are incredibly springy and not very tactile at all the rather mushy aside from that the buttons are just really easily pressed and I experienced a lot of miss clicks when I was trying to gain with this thing just you know from moving really fast I would turn really fast in game and then accidentally hit the side button it's also fairly cheap I would say this has the worst build quality out of all five of the mice here just not just in terms of just how light it is but also the scroll wheel seems really really kind of wonky and and the DPI buttons in particularly listen to this is there even anything in this mouse it's just completely Hollow it's just like hollow plastic clicking yeah so it doesn't sound very good not very satisfying to click to sensitive on the buttons pretty much everywhere however it's comfortable that's the one redeeming quality however I still would not recommend it even for ten dollars let's move on to the next Mouse this one is a fun - a fun - and again there's like 30 names on here it also says Zelo tez I think it's just a much wider profile so it fits your hand a lot differently it's kind of hard to compare to the the Ben go however it is very comfortable I do like it there are some gripes though that I have the side here that the the pinky grip is very slippery on this outer side of the mouse my pinky just kind of tends to to slide around on that area and it's not very it's not the best I wish there was a bit more grip there and while there is some grip for your thumb it's kind of got this recessed these little grooves and the grooves kind of I don't know they kind of like sink into my thumb after a while they don't feel as comfortable after prolonged periods of time so I'm not a huge fan of that the build quality is better better than the been goo however it's still it's still lacking in the buttons all these side buttons are springy here the left and right mouse buttons are are pretty solid just kind of like the nice nice level of tightness that I like and also the scroll wheel is much better than the been goo and the scroll click requires a bit of actuation force to actually click in the scroll wheel I wish it was a bit easier it does have a dpi button for up to fifty five hundred dpi which is nice it's also got a braided cable a braided USB cable actually all these mice have braided USB cables prising lee except for this one which is a USB but it's got kind of a rubber rubber material and i'll get into that later so my main gripes with this mouse is that i'm not a fan of the pinky grip that's super slippery on the outside here and the the side buttons and this front button here are very springy and do not feel very good when clicking however they are very well placed I will say that so this next one is the so tech or so tech I don't know it's not ZOTAC that's that's not it's not what I said but okay we've got some LEDs here that are kind of just cycling through different colors I don't believe you can change any of them just like the Ben go I didn't mention that it also has a bunch of funky colors seven I believe that just cycles through the the side grips here that this side grip on the outside is much better than the the food tough which is a little bit more like kind of a rubberized material and the inside thumb grip is also nice to to rest your thumb on however it does feature those same grooves that we saw on the food too which I'm not a fan of again the buttons are relatively tactile the scroll wheel so far this is the best scroll wheel that we've seen and a dpi button is is firm but has a nice click to it and the issue that I'm having right now is the front and back buttons the back button is very accessible but the front one is a little bit out of reach for me I wish both of these buttons were just moved back you know a smidge a couple centimeters maybe and that would have been perfect and I was having some issues with this mouse anytime I plug it into my - hotline over here the system would just blue screen it just crashed instantly I finally got it to work by just rebooting and you know rolled the dice by sticking this mouse in again and somehow it didn't crash that time so it was so I was able to test it out more thoroughly also the even though the the scroll wheel feels great in practice it actually sucks when you're scrolling you know three web pages and whatnot the speed of the scrolling flow 2/8 like crazy you'll be going you know scrolling a mile a minute and then all of a sudden you'll just like it'll it'll get stuck if you will and you'll just have to keep scrolling until it you know evens out again so so that wasn't really good is the only Mouse that had an issue with the scroll wheel like that next up we've got the Saudi and actually on the top of the mouse here it says James donkey I I don't even I don't know but you can see it's got some nice orange LED accents that are very subtle it's got a subtle glow on the backend as well as kind of peeking through the DPI button in the middle you know at the same time looks really kind of a classy Mouse actually four for ten dollars I would say this probably has the highest build quality so far the actual comfort level is pretty good and actually I love the weight I love the way it's got some nice heft to it and it's got these grips on the side that are kind of a gel material and they're really like I don't want say sticky but they're really grippy and I'm not used to feeling this kind of material on mice however it actually feels pretty nice I wouldn't mind using this mouse just just for things the scroll wheel is also very very sturdy it's not wobbly at all it's got a nice firm click and left and right buttons are fairly tight the side buttons are probably my my one complaint here they're a bit springy and this does go up to 2,000 dpi I wish it I wish it went a little bit more than that it's also got an on/off switch on the bottom here oh that's just for the LEDs and again this is the one Mouse that doesn't have a braided cable instead it uses this rubber rubber cable and it's it's very strange I don't know why they used rubber maze just to go with the style however I think rubber on for a cable is not the best because it gets snagged on things easily there's a there's quite a bit of friction I'm not a huge fan of that but overall this is a very comfortable Mouse and if it wasn't for a you know the crappy sensor I probably even pay more than ten dollars for it so that's going to bring us to our last and my favourite Mouse personally which is the TechNet raptor and this mouse looks very similar to the Coolermaster sentinel if you remember the CM storm Sentinel it looks very similar to that i'm used to know if they've gotten you know this working with the same om at some point however it is it is different and it's super comfortable it is my favorite mouse in terms of comfort level simply be just because it matches the shape of my hand very naturally but what really impressed me with this mouse are the switches the switches for for the left and right buttons are incredibly tight and just they feel really good to click you wouldn't even even think that this is a ten dollar mouse also the the front and back buttons while they're not as high-quality I would say as the the James donkey over here they do not feel springy at all they are simply like you know you go less than a millimeter and it's just a click there's no spring spring action whatsoever is just no you press it and it clicks it's a very like satisfying click again they're plastic switches and they're a little bit on the cheaper side however it still feels really good and tight that's what she said you got a dpi button I believe this goes up to 2,000 dpi as well just like the Saudi and again six buttons it's got blue LEDs all around on the scroll wheel as well as the body kind of on three different areas there and the scroll wheel is actually fairly nice as well it's got it's got some loose scrolling action it's not it's not too rigid and the the scrolling button itself the scroll click feels just right and it does have a little bit of texture on the sides here so where your your ring finger or pinky would go on the outside and where your thumb goes it's it's still really smooth plastic and I would have liked a little bit likes just a bit of grit material however they've just got some little bit of itching to create just ever so slightly a sensation of grip however it is definitely notably more slippery than the Saudi with its with its gel grips and it's got a black braided cable very classic and overall super comfortable Mouse switches are good everything's good everything checks out so for 10 bucks yes I would recommend this Mouse I would even recommend the Saudi I would recommend the James donkey any day of the week but if I had to choose I would probably go with the Tecna Raptor this is by far the best $10 gaming mouse I have ever had the privilege of using if you guys are interested at all in any of these gaming mice go ahead and check the description below I've got links all there however be warned if you pick up any of these three mice over here I am not liable or responsible for any kind of pain that they may cause I would recommend the James donkey get hop on the James donkey oh this mouse kicks ass for ten bucks as well so either of these two mice I'm sure that you would be satisfied for spending ten dollars with I think you know they're very much worth the money so that's pretty much going to do it for now guys hopefully you found this video bit interesting another isn't too much information out there on $10 gaming mice these days but if you enjoyed the video be sure to toss me a like subscribe to the channel for more tech stuff coming at you really soon and I will see you all in the next video
