From: Gamestop
Was: $129.99
Now: $69.99 ($60 off plus free shipping)
The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is a step up from its Essentials sibling. In other words, it’s the more souped-up version. You’re looking at 20,000 DPI (plus optical sensor), seven programmable buttons, Chroma RGB lighting, and more. It’s also compatible with Mac. However, the Synapse 3 software isn’t compatible with macOS. It’s just something to be aware of.

The Logitech G Pro X Superlight has a lot to offer. It’s a super-sensitive mouse thanks to its 25,600 DPI. There’s also seven programmable buttons and an ambidextrous shape for those who use their right or left hand. It may not have the traditional gaming aesthetic (aka red or green accents), but it certainly performs like a top-tier gaming mouse.

From: Best Buy
Was: $99
Now: $79.99 ($20 0ff)
I’d argue that the SteelSeries Aerox 3 Optical is one of the more unconventional-looking gaming mice out there. Not only does the honeycomb pattern really stand out, it also makes the mouse more lightweight and portable. Besides, in a sea of black mice with crimson red accents, it’s refreshing to see something new emerge. It features six programmable button and 8,500 DPI. It’s also compatible with Mac computers.

The SteelSeries Rival 650 Quantum is a cool mouse because you can customize the weight and overall feel. The removable sides let you move the 4g weights around inside. In fact, this mouse has up to 256 weight configurations. SteelSeries also claims that you can get 10 hours of gaming time after a 15 minute charge. That’s pretty darn impressive.

The EVGA X17 looks more like a spaceship than a gaming mouse. That said, it seems like the kind of sturdy and robust device that will last you a while. It also has a max DPI of 16,000, 10 programmable buttons, and a customizable weight system. The sniper button is cool, too. This button brings the mouse to the lowest DPI, which allows for more precision in games.
