this video is brought to you by NCI XCOM great technology selection and service alright third time's the charm right a place that's what they say that's not I clean the table hello everyone I'm Demetria with Harbor Canucks and welcome to another top five video the subject for today is gaming mice and if you think about gaming mice is such a significant element in our everyday computer tasks because the cursor is our navigation Atlas and it allows us to get to places where we need to go it's almost as important as if not more important than a keyboard and the rest of the hardware that we you know use within the entire computer sphere so gaming mice are so subjective in terms of the shape because everybody's hand size is different everybody uses different grip style depending on if you move your mouse a lot or you like to concentrate it in a smaller region and you know have a higher dpi and because of all those factors we've teamed up with a couple of youtuber friends so they can also provide their insight on their favorite daily Mouse aside from the top 5 that we've picked here so it will broaden your options if you're looking for a gaming mouse in the near future so without any further ado let's outline what we have here on a table top 5 gaming nice people let's begin at number 5 the best budget Mouse in my opinion goes to the SteelSeries rival 100 it only 39 dollars which offers all the basics like the textured side grips with a good shape for claw or finger grip with an easy to reach dpi shifter a very satisfying scroll wheel but with the tab heavy middle quick pleasant side browser buttons and it's also fairly light at 120 grams with a good balanced distribution through the body plus we have to illumination zones with an RGB Suite which for a $39 mouse is just a bonus they did sacrifice a bit on the build quality side as it doesn't feel nearly as nice as other more expensive options in our list but it sure does make up with that awesome sensor the rival 100 comes custom optical SteelSeries sensor the SDNS 30:59 SS which is based off depicts art 3050 sensor there is no acceleration tracking is awesome and I felt comfortable very quickly with precise aim the only real downside is the inability to adjust liftoff distance so if you want to lift the mouse often you might need to develop a new way to use the mouse because the liftoff distance is around half a centimeter which still moves your cursor when the mouse is coming back down the primary left and right clicks fit a good balance between distance traveled and the weight so the rival 100 is the Gaming Mouse to get at under 40 bucks at number 4 the best wireless mouse of the year has got to go the razer mom but chroma body-wise it's fantastic amazing shape for palm support it's not that heavy at 125 grams even with the built-in battery but you have to keep in mind it's kind of back heavy which makes lifting the mouse a lot more difficult as its slouches back we have a really nice feeling rubber texture on each side smooth glide feet one of the best scroll wheels for gaming with proper side scrolling and distinct main scroll steps while offering a light mirror click for other functions if you're into customization of the actuation force of each primary click that is possible on this mouse from 45 grams to 95 grams which drastically changed the way this mouse feels for whatever game that you play and that is one of the premium features that you don't find often and the razer delivers one of the best lighting implementations that is for the pretty visuals only but man the illumination of the charging dock and the mouse look fantastic which brings us to wireless performance I honestly could not tell the difference between using the mouse in wired versus Wireless mode so the lack of cable does bring that extra sense of manoeuvre now if you are after a wireless performer you'd be happy with the Mamba as long as you are aware of its limitations which you can find in our full review link below coming in at number three one of the gaming communities fan favorite is the logitech g502 and there are many things to love about this mouse first the buttons primary left and right click are light and satisfactory pretty much everything is well laid out from the side browser buttons to the DPI shifter for your point finger with that three-step visual indicator to the sniper button which enables custom dpi when pressed and you can easily train your thumb to move into that position when necessary to the profile shift which sits right beside the infinite scroll enabler for the scroll wheel which in my opinion could be the best scroll wheel on the mouse it features light side scrolling that you can work with without spinning or pressing the wheel and is super useful for editing it has a metallic coating so it feels kind of slippery but that doesn't take away from the super distinct scroll steps and light middle click and I'm sure you'll find proper use with that infinite scrolling a feature that is missed on so many mice today also it comes with adjustable weights if you find 121 grams to be too light and the shape beautifully supports your thumb and the palm I have pretty large hands and I don't find the slim profile an issue and combine all that with one of the best optical sensors which has no acceleration the Pixar 3366 which has a load of customizations in the software and you have yourself one of the best mice of the year and at number two one of my most recent additions to the mouse collection is the Zoe FK one this is the best ambidextrous design that I have ever seen that works very well to support your hand especially because the browser buttons on each side are not on the way so you can hold it properly without accidentally pressing the buttons on the opposite side glide feet are fantastic and the driverless nature of this Mouse is refreshing with 4 dpi settings that are color coded at the bottom for that visual indication with 400 800 1600 and 3200 dpi we perfect to very low lift off distance and an amazing accurate optical IR sensor the 3310 I really appreciate their approach towards a competitive arena with no lighting effects no body customization so it all becomes kind of about the shape the weight the sensor and the switches the weight balance is amazing so if you tend to lift your mouse a lot you love the FK one and the same goes if you move the mouse over a larger area my aim has never been this good and that's after a very short practice period the scrollwheel also came here has got a good middle-click but these scroll steps could be more defined and now something to keep in mind are the primary switches that are known for their heavy nature especially compared to every single Mouse in this stack but they've listened to feedback of gamers and are refreshing their entire lineup from now that will use the lighter Omron switches that will be used to satisfy a larger spectrum of users and coming in number one my go-to daily driver for all my cursor needs in the office and when I'm away is the my onyx caster I picked this mouse as the mouse of the year because of the price the shape the switches the scroll wheel the sensor driver customization because this thing has it all although it's only for right hand users now for my hand this is the most comfortable Mouse because it's fairly slim yet with the right curves to support all the fingers thumbs support has the textured side which helps to seamlessly lift the mouse when needed the side browser buttons have that satisfying light tactile actuation the scroll wheel is rubberized with an awesome light middle-click but actually it seems that over time the scroll steps have become less defined the omron switches here are awesome whether you click fast or slow they feel amazing and the DPI shifter behind the scroll wheel comes in handy all the time the two illuminated zones are just a bonus with accurate colors that don't take away from the main function of the caster which is outstanding sensor performance with the text art 3310 you can quickly perfect your aim for accurate shooters like csgo and combine that with the extensive suite of driver customization and you have yourself a mouse that is all about craftsmanship no gimmicks required and thus deserves our number1 spot for the gaming mouse of the year so that was my input on the top 5 gaming mice from our side now as I said earlier because my eyes are so subjective and how you use them what your hand size is like we've included a few youtubers here to also share their insight on their favorite daily driver mouse so here they are what's up guys my name is Edgar I want a tech channel called tech source where I do monthly PC builds host competitions where people submit their desk setups and custom PCs and lots of other tech related content running a tech channel full time is not an easy task which is why I need a mouse that can handle this major responsibility after cycling through dozens of mice throughout my entire lifespan I've landed with the Logitech MX master which is a wireless mouse aimed at productivity the ergonomic design with an arched back is really comfortable to handle especially for claw grippers like myself I do love the thumb wheel on the side which makes editing videos extremely easy and although it's mainly used for getting work done I do use it for casual gaming from time to time I do have to say one of the best things about this mouse is the hyper scroll feature which helps me scroll through long pages quickly and that's especially effective on Twitter but yeah this is basically the mouse I use every single day I want to give a huge things to Dmitriy for having me in this video and I'll see you guys later so my daily Mouse is the final mass because it's light compact and it just seems to work there aren't any drivers to mess around with it has some buttons unlike other light mice and I just feel like I have an aimbot built into the mouse I don't know why but that's how it feels it uses the 3310 sensor like a lot of other mice but it just seems like it's faster it's not hindered by clunky software or driver implementations final Mouse really optimized this sensor for participer gaming and that's why I use it what's up guys I'm Kyle and I'm not Kyle I'm Josh fractal design oh I should probably say where I'm from from awesomesauce Network and Thank You Dimitri for having us in this video we're here to talk about our favorite Mouse I don't know if it's particularly for gaming or just all-purpose but I use this everyday as my daily driver it's a logitech g502 it since 2011 when I built my first computer ever and it's still holding up it's doing an awesome job it's really simple it's not like necessarily a really aggressive gaming mouse but it has all the features I need really nice weight balanced weight system weight tuning and the software is really nice as well and that's that your all-around right game is my Allah rounding all that sort of exactly yeah when I'm not using this if I have my laptop and I'm on the go the rock Italian is also a pretty good Mouse I like the little shark Trin on the top so I can like do side scrolling and stuff when I'm you know doing side by side web browsing things like that MLG web browser and LG none yeah sure yeah um so mine is well not here um my favorite my daily driver is kind of mouse is that it's invisible it's it's totally India it's like well it is it's carbon fibre nanotubes visible cloak to knowledge anyways um so the Logitech G 700 s is my daily driver um basically I don't need a ton of buttons even gaming I never use all of them I forget where they're at but I like the fact that obviously it's Wireless but you just plug in and run on powered mode because I've had mice before where they're wireless charging cradle you forget and then the one time you need it you've got to sit there crap when it charges for 45 minutes before I can do anything it fits my hands pretty well but as you can see my hands are rather large so they don't fit everything perfectly I don't think there is a perfect Mouse out there one of my other favorites though was the funk ms3 had the wider platform fit my hands better wasn't my preferred mouse for gaming but for like daily driver use comfort that sort of thing worked really well but those would be my two favorites if I can have two favorites sweet yeah you're pretty good liar yes I know you hate both those mice and you yeah alright I do love some infrared mice so this is the me onyx cast or I love this Mouse it's one of the most accurate mice out there on the planet the braided cable is not my cup of tea I love the sensor in favorite sensor PWM 3310 they do some dpi doubling don't care for that also love Zoe products but I've had to ec1 Evo so far and the button stopped working on one sensor stopped working on the other so I'm like whatever anyway we're and each engine decided to make our own mouse using the PWM 3310 sensor that I love this one's no nonsense we decided no software just a few buttons Omron switches rubberized coating decent ergonomics and I've try to shoot for like a lower price point with this mouse so that's why we just no bells and whistles just simple amount of RGB here and me nonsense like that in using this as a daily driver for the last six months we've gone through six different revisions on this mouse to make it you know change this button change the change this or just little things like that and I'm pretty happy with it as far as just the tracking and the accuracy it's probably the most accurate Mouse I have because we didn't do anything to it it just put the sensor in there and so I'm really happy about that you jump into quake live and I feel like I'm doing better than I normally would I don't know when I was a QuakeCon this is when we first started using this everyone was calling it the god mouse because I was getting like first or second place every time and that's not normal for me I'm usually like third or fourth place so I don't know maybe it's a little bit of a joke but anyway we're getting like a few of these made and mainly just to see how things go in the factories we went and took a look at the factory that's always important for me when I check this stuff out and I think you know a lot of the companies in Shenzhen are doing a good job right now so it's sort of the Silicon Valley of manufacturing and it's interesting to learn how things work and also you know when you're done have a product we'll have a few of these pretty soon but I'm enjoying it it's my daily driver at the moment hey I'm Brian from sergeant ballistic gaming and when it comes to gaming mice over the years I've always found myself going back to Logitech for the great balance of features comfort and performance one of the Great's in their lineup and still my go-to daily driver is the G 500 it's a great successor to the venerable g5 and mx518 before it and adds to them some great features including ten programmable buttons weight customization on-the-fly dpi changing between five custom dpi levels from two hundred and fifty seven hundred as a nice heavy scroll wheel with great pronounced intervals hyper fast rolling for productivity side scroll button switches and all those features are tied together with some nice no-frills software that lets me customize all the inputs per game and store some onboard the mouse itself the Bergin anomic still can be seen in logitech gaming productivity lineup today and even though this mouse is six years old it's still able to hold its own against a lot of the new kids on the block and that even includes some of logitech's new offerings but it's going to take a hell of a mouse to supplant this as my go-to daily driver mouse hey how's it going guys my name is Dave Lee and I have a youtube channel called Dave Toodee so Demetri asked me to make a short clip on what Mouse I use as my daily driver and that's this guy the Logitech MX anywhere 2 so this is like the smaller sibling to the super popular MX master Mouse and I like it because it fits my hand really well and it's a good great wireless mouse so I try to avoid wires and the Bluetooth connection is really solid and I switch computers a lot so I use a Mac Pro at work a MacBook Pro at home and once a while I use a Dell XPS and having a mouse that can instantly switch between all three of these devices is really nice another thing is that there's no drivers or software that you need to download all of the software from Logitech is entirely optional and lastly this thing performs really well it's not as good for games as a wired mouse but for casual gaming video editing and for my day-to-day work this thing is super reliable and I can go like three to four weeks in between charges so thanks Dimitri for having me on it's been nice I'll see you guys next time hello hardware connects viewers my name is Paul my youtube channel is Paul's hardware and thanks to Dimitri for inviting me on this little Mouse comparison video first off apologies to all of you for the way my set looks and probably the audio is not that great right now either I'm in the middle of a big reconstruction project and remodeling so bear that in mind also Dimitri asked me to talk about one Mouse and I have six here so I'd better get right to it let's start with my daily driver that's this one right here the my onyx naos 8200 and as you might be able to tell I've used this quite a bit for this one it really just comes down to the shape the ergonomic shape really fits the contour of my hands so I really like how it feels I can use it for a long time it's got a nice solid sensor on there this is a laser version I actually kind of like the optical version of this mouse a little bit better but this is what I use when I'm editing and that kind of thing so that's what I can legit call my daily driver but since I have multiple computers I have other mice that I also use on those so here's a couple more this is the corsair m65 which is actually just picked this up recently and this has just been a longtime favorite of mine ever since they came out with this whether or not it has the the tramp stamp logo on it I still think it's a great Mouse really solid construction and I do like a sniper button find that to come in very useful not just for gaming but also when you need to do precision stuff like in I can adobe or something like that here's a mouse from rocket this is the Nith I also use this on actually this is currently connected to my streaming system although I'm strongly considering switching this over to my editing system because of all the modular buttons on the side to set those up with macros so I can shortcut to different editing functions that I do while I'm editing videos but really been a big fan of this mouse the NIT since it came out although it is quite expensive I also have a rocket tie on and this is actually the mouse I've been using to game with most frequently recently because it's the one that's actually plugged into my main gaming system aka Arctic Panther my custom water-cooled build anyway I really like this mouse - I think I like the Neth a little bit better as far as the flexibility and the features and everything this one's nice and comfortable it's got a nice finish on it and again tracking is beautiful on there I also have a couple floater mice these are mainly mice that I bring along if I'm taking like a notebook on the go or something and I know I need to edit this is the main one that I use which is the old-school classic Razer DeathAdder which just has amazingly accurate tracking and it's it's just a classic Mouse that plugs you just plug it in and it works that's why I have these mice as my floater mice as they they pretty much work they track really well I found that they work in like system bios's and setup areas the wrap on the cable here on the sensei row actually wasn't as good so I don't necessarily recommend it for that but as far as just a standard plug-and-play Mouse those both work really well but yeah I gotta give it up ultimately for me it always comes down to the mouse fitting in your hand and being comfortable to use for a long period of time and for that reason this is the Manics nouse nass is still the one that I've been using most frequently anyway thanks for having me on the show Dmitry so before I skedaddle
