• good really cheap mouse?
    43 replies, posted
i'm looking for a nice mouse (i don't really care about extra buttons or anything, just as long as it has a clickable scrollwheel which has like, clicky scrolling. i don't know what it's called.) that's really cheap. like, $10 cheap. does such a thing exist?
No it doesn't exist.
how about $15
Save up and get an MX518.
I don't believe the words 'good' and 'cheap' go together in a sentence together when it comes to computer parts, unless it's "good things are not cheap." Best of luck to you however. [b]EDIT[/b]: The cheapest 'good' mice I can find are all $50 and up, you'll have no luck getting anything good below that price.
thanks for the help guys!
As Odellus said, just save up and get this: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104178&Tpk=mx%20518[/url]
Get a Microsoft basic optical mouse.

How is it better? The newegg one has free shipping and comes out cheaper.
or i could get a mouse in my pricerange right now and get an mx518 later when i have the money i know it's a good mouse, but i just can't afford it, and i'm too impatient to save up for that long
[QUOTE=thf;26759879]How is it better? The newegg one has free shipping and comes out cheaper.[/QUOTE] Sorry had a stupid moment, you're correct.
Never got why you need some 50 dollar mouse :v:
by now even the ones labeled as the older version are the newer one unfortunately. I tried ordering one (and newegg had both) but got shafted with the newer model. big deal I know :x
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826782003&cm_re=iHome_Laser_mouse-_-26-782-003-_-Product[/url] I have the red version. Clickable scroll wheel too.
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826105165&cm_re=microsoft_mouse-_-26-105-165-_-Product[/url] I had one of these for years, before I got my MX518. It's a great mouse, only issue I have with it is that it is only 3 button. Aside from that, it tracks very well, is a comfortable shape and the feet are good on most surfaces which is all you can ask for in a cheap mouse. Unfortunately the old Intellimouses which are similarly priced are sold out on newegg. They're basically the same except 5 button, and probably your best bet for a cheap, reliable mouse. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826105168&cm_re=microsoft_mouse-_-26-105-168-_-Product[/url] That one is even cheaper, but I prefer the first one and personally think it's definitely worth the extra 5 bucks.
Intellimouse 3.0 all you ever need, anything else is ricer shit
intellimouse can be had for :20bux:, and it's as good as most gaming mice. the only reason it's so cheap is because it's not labeled as a gaming mouse

As far as I know the newer ones just have bigger (therefore better) feet on the bottom and the new optical sensor fixed any problems the old one had. I have the old one and haven't had any issues, but when (if) the time comes and it dies I'll probably be forced to get the newer one.

Clickable scroll wheel too.[/QUOTE] Got this when I needed a new mouse, as my old generic Microsoft mouse finally crapped out on me. Never thought I'd use the side buttons to navigate web pages, now I use them constantly. I don't understanding spending more than $20 on a mouse, when this is as good as it gets, right here.

Hey hey, if you can spare $17, jump on this offer now! [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104381[/url] Logitech V450 wireless laser. It has a Nano Reciever, which means you can plug it in and forget about it because it doesn't bulge out. And you don't have to worry about cords tangling. The shape is really good, too. I have an M305, very similar, very good.

The MX518 is probably the best bang for your buck.
By that clicky thing you mean Mouse3? I don't know do they sell A4tech stuff over there. X5 is kind of cheap, friend has it and it works well. Has 5 buttons too!
Are these Chinese fakes any good?

I actually got one of those, they stopped working in a few weeks. Go with the one I just linked above, the Gigabyte one.

It scrolls so fucking fast without any interruption that it passes the weapon I want. I want a weapon that clicks on each "scroll" so it stays on a weapon with each scroll. I don't know, it's hard to explain.

It is good for web browsing, but in gaming, moving the wheel 2mm down will scroll. Couple that with smooth scrolling and no clicks, it is impossible to switch weapons.
