@@jeremypackaree8170 Just to let everyone know, I got Corsair. The Harpoon RGB mouse and the K63 keyboard. Both very cool. The mouse is cheap at $25 but I like it a lot (maybe not the best for FPS people who want more buttons and side set DPS button). Keyboard is cool and feels nice to use for anything.
Xm1, m42, viper, those are probably my favorites and are not that expensive
linus: all of these were under 50$ in the last three months me: *clicks on link* all ~90$
The most expensive mouse in this video as Linus said (G305) is also the cheapest mouse at the time of October 2020.
Linus (talking about the G600): "a lot of mouse for the money (33$)" Me (desperetaly trying to get one in EU for weeks): What is this price. Also why isn't it available here.

Same like tiny hands sadly
@M T I can provide you with proof lol. now I also understand why I claw grip every mouse in existence.
I own a basilisk and i can say that i highly recommend it. Just fits amazingly in the hand, very comfortable, the buttons are great and being able to adjust the scroll button is really nice.
@@blinky1802 My hand is medium sized and I'm just flustered with all the available options, the basilisk V2 is sold for around $60 here and the V3 isn't available yet, would you recommend it ?
@@blinky1802 Well I've already bought it and it's definitely a great mouse overall but sadly for some reason a little bit smaller mouse would've been better for me, I won't be able to return it as the store I bought it from only accepts returns for defective items so I gotta get used to it lol
I've owned the basilisk for a couple of years now and I got to admit. It is really comfortable and a good mouse for people who want a mouse with a comfortable shape, but I don't think it's good for people who really want to perform at higher levels. It's just not really good for fast paced games. I'd still recommend people to try it though.
Had my basilisk for maybe 2.5 years & it’s the best mouse I’ve ever had :)
I've been using the Redragon M908 for over a year now since my G600 stopped working properly, and I've had no issues with the M908 at all. Once I had the buttons set up, I would say it's equal or perhaps better for me than the G600 ever was. And getting a new G600 in my country is difficult, and they cost twice as much as the M908.
i have used the g403 for almost 3 years, it is a great mouse overall. the sensor has pinpoint accuracy and the click is also very tactile
I have the same experience with my g402. Its with me since last two years and still going strong
My best mouse ever in every aspect. Too bad they have the scroll wheel problem. Two of them broke just a month after the warranty expired :(

Recently replaced my first gen G502 that I got for $44 with the G502 Hero I got for $40 in October, and I use the G305 that I got for $25 with my laptop, for which it's very well suited. These products last me for years, and have been bought at great prices so I highly recommend them.

Same
I don’t even have a computer. Unless you count my broken chrome book as one.
Same
You watch it the same reason as I you want to believe and satisfy your electronic needs
because a good mouse i good on anything, i used to game on a 15 (now) year old windows xp pc, then i went to a ex-server with a 650, then my nans pc which i bought a 750ti, now im on a dell insperion, and this somehow manages to play rainbow six siege at 60fps (low and 50% res scale but meh) and as of tomorrow get myself a dell g7 (yes im a dell fanboy, fight me), the point is throughout all of that i had a good mouse, (ive had 3, the MadCatz Rat 3 , Razer DeathAdder Eliete, and now the ADX Firepower A04,) and good mouse leads to good control, same with a keyboard, sure is a cheap logitech useable? sure, but spend even £20 and you can get a decent mechanical one (forgoing RGB), i always say that more knowladge is better, and it never hurts to learn, the point of this is, even if you buy a good mouse now, in this time where tech rules, it never hurts to have a good one at your side :)
"Sadly, it's got no RGB lighting." SOLD
agreed!!! rgb just looks cheesy to me in a setup. can never quite make it look grown and mature and nice and subtle.
Remember the rule that goes: If there's no RGB your FPS has no good destiny.
@@fablesfables well I'm pretty sure RGB stuff was made for it to not be subtle
Actually rgb is hidden by your palm anyways so why waste money ?
@@TsunamicBug I have a corsair harpoon pro rgb so the logo is hidden so I don't turn the Iq software
I use the G305 and LOVE it -- glad it got a favorable review here as well!
I switched from the razor mamba to the G305 and my aim got significantly better
I've been using the lancehead for almost 3 years now and overall, I'd say it's a pretty solid mouse. It's not really ergonomic though, and it gets uncomfortable on the right side after a while.

Big thanks I was looking so long for such a descriptive and in-depth review and I very much appreciate the work put into the video thanks again
In case anyone was wondering why someone would need an array of programmable thumb buttons on the side of a mouse, here are some of the mapped keys and combos I use on mine (for my general desktop profile) Enter Backspace Delete Undo Redo Hold shift Copy Paste Hold CTL But don't forget macros!!!! I have one button programmed to type my login username (my email) then press tab, and I have another button programmed to type my password then press enter. So for example, I can login to my desktop by clicking two buttons on my mouse. My Utechsmart Venus mouse makes it so I barely ever have to touch my keyboard. I am 300% more efficient when I use it Food for thought!
How do you know which button to press, they are so small and placed so close. How often do you press the wrong button?
@@roastedpotato5514 I would say it took me about a week to get used to the button layout. Now I pretty much never click the wrong button. It was easier than I expected to learn where everything is.
I’ve had the G403 Wireless for about 4 years now... wow that’s a long time. The mouse is one of the best I have used to date. Spends probably over £400-£500 on different mouses on the market but the G403 has never let me down.
Is the rubber on the left side wearing off for you?
also have the 403 wireless, it's just so nice. Also thanks to the included "docking cable" i use it wired for my main PC and wireless when i plug in my work laptop. The only thing that would improve it would be the "hyperscrolling" function from the M705, something i didn't know was just so great until i no longer had it
I thought the G703 was the wireless version of the G403? Or is there one called the g403 wireless?
Yup, with you on this one. I'm a corsair fanboy, but after buying this mouse I'm not willing to get a corsair one just to fit in with my other components/peripherals. I do miss scroll wheels with gyros though. Was good for dashing to the bottom of a long document or for amusingly fast weapon switching animations while waiting for a match of something to start.
@@JS-ob2xt G703 and G403 both have wired and wireless versions. The only difference between them is that the G703 has wireless *charging* but the G403 doesn't They both have wireless connectivity options though.

One thing I want to say about the G600: there’s a known issue with Final Fantasy XIV and the G-shift button (the ring finger button) locking in game with use. This has lead to…quite a few wipes from personal experience, however I 100% recommend this mouse.

"Less well endowed" - Linus, 2020
Okay this is getting ridiculous
I'm using the Basilisk V2. It took some time for me to get used to it, but I love it. The buttons are all easy enough to hit, and you never accidentally hit one you don't intend, except maybe the scroll wheel click, because the scroll wheel has 3 buttons on it, but the side push buttons on the scroll wheel are magnificent. Makes a lot more sense to me than having 20 buttons on the side of a mouse, but then again, I'm not an MMO player. I'm disappointed the RGB doesn't have the wave preset, but you can go into the chroma studio and make your own.
I have the razer basilisk and have been using it for a 2 months now For sure recommend it the scroll wheel resistance control and the dpi clutch are just so damm good !
Me: looks for a bluetooth mouse. Linus: got to go fast! It is actually true lol. I was planning to get a tab s6 with a mouse.
Did i ask?
@@lydiabogomolnaya8227 Did I ask you to ask if you ask?
Nah man, go to your windows settings, go to Ease of Access, go to Keyboard Settings, toggle on MouseKeys. Legit I used for a long time when I had no physical mouse, how you maneuver your keyboard with no mouse is by using Tab and Shift-Tab Tab goes forward, Shift-Tab goes backwards, in terms of what would normally be clickable things, this works well in browser Hide-and-Seek games because a yellow box will highlight where thing that you can click on are located. To "click" without MouseKeys and without a physical mouse, use Enter. Once you turned on MouseKeys you can turn it off with Alt+Shift+NumLock (when NumLock is on though, not when it's off) MouseKeys is a beautiful thing of support for the disabled but also just a beautiful thing in terms of design from the OS side to the physical implementation side, I'd definitely recommend trying it out if you want to try being Ergonomic with only a regular keyboard, even if you have a mouse, being shoulder-width apart with your arms can be done using MOST full size keyboards, if you have broad shoulders I'd genuinely recommend the Corsair K95, but only the one with 18 G-Keys to the left side.

For anyone wanting a good FPS mouse, I would recommend going with one of the Razer mice. I have a Razer Mamba and it’s very good with it being slightly heavy, decent size, and comfortable button placing. Deathadder and Basilik are pretty similar as well
Just be ready to return it after 6 months, those double click faults are everywhere.
@@cattysplat Yeah the clicking is starting to die already
Also don't buy their keyboards. My wife bought a Razer Cynosa Lite keyboard because some letters were faded or gone on my old wired keyboard. Within 2 weeks I suffered from every problem others have mentioned on different review sites: the backlight is too dark even at max illumination. The backlight shifts through the entire color spectrum and you can only setup a fixed color by using their 500MB software package. Because of that software, sometimes a key gets stuck (not on the board itself but in software) so sometimes when you wanna stop moving your character from dropping in a ravine for example, your char just keeps walking as if you kept pressing the forward button. You have to hit that same button again to get in unstuck. And sometimes when playing a movie and pauzing/stopping the movie, the sound in your speakers kept repeating like RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. The only way I found to stop that sound was to either turn off my speakers or kill the Razer software. So that piece of software also took over your entire sound system. But then the keyboard backlight starts running through the colorspectrum once again and you need to restart the software manually to get your fixed color again. And on top of that, the buttons were also in the wrong place and kept giving the wrong symbols compared to what was written on the button. And not to mention that every keyboard I know, has the symbol associated using SHIFT on the top of the button but not this one. The shift-character for that key is located on the bottom of the button, making it completely illogical to use. Upon trying to return it to the store where my wife bought it (Vandenborre), they refused to refund me for buying such a shitty product, although I returned it with the original package, the purchase ticket and within 10 days. I'm sticking to Logitech, those have never failed me, for both keyboard and mouse.

I bought a g502 SE for $25 at Best Buy and I love it, adjustable weight, extra buttons, sensitivity adjust, and a button to release the scroll wheel so it can spin freely
They are that cheap now? I paid like $80 several years ago lol. It was an excellent mouse for $80 but for $25 it is probably nearly impossible to beat.
bought a g903 wireless thinking i would use all 4 side buttons, but i can't use the damn right side ones because i press them when lifting. biggest regret of my life was not getting the g502 instead.
I have a g502 HERO, and I absolutely LOVE it.
Jup i think for the price ther is just nothing to beat it, so i Don't know why it is not in th video
Thats an amazing mouse! I can only think of one that is more fun to play with wink wink 😆
When I first started gaming, I couldn’t justify high prices, so I bought a 15 dollar mouse from Amazon, now, I’ve found myself committing more. I just bought the Razer viper ultimate which has a hefty price tag but I think it’s definitely worth it
dang it, should've watched this before buying mine, but hey I got a g305, thankfully it was a pretty good bet, and tbh don't see many advantages from any of the others, hopefully the battery won't annoy me by just dying in front of me randomly after a while. I like how minimalistic and non gamer it looks, as I'm using it for work too and don't want no distractions.
Does it still work?
Scratching my head wondering where the Glorious Model O- is in this roundup? 58 grams, top grade sensor, rgb lighting, customizable DPI, weightless cable for $45.
The new razer viper mini too
as well as the viper mini, 40$ and everything else you mentioned
Simple answer to that can be...... They didn't send him one, or they did, but didn't make it in time, or they're planning it for another round up of lightweight mouse
Love my model O, best mouse i ever had.
I don't know why, but in Italy both the model O and the Viper Mini are 70€. I got an Amazon warehouse flawless Viper (cabled) for 53€ and was the cheapest (quality) mouse I could get

@@rdmz135 This
@Lionhart nothing is wrong with wanting a really light mouse. It genuinely feals good to use.
Just battery swap it, a Lithium AAA drops it down to under 85g and it still lasts over a month under pretty heavy gaming use.
@@rdmz135 If you care that much about being competitive, by all means weight matters. It auto racing, weight makes such a difference to performance that it's heavily regulated. But as to whether consumers should care about absolute lightest weight in mice, it's like asking what kind of driver should buy an Ariel Atom. If you care in anyway about durability, longevity, and daily usage, you're probably better off with a heavier mouse that doesn't have holes all over it for dirt and spilled drinks to pour straight into the internals, the same way you'd probably want a car with a roof for daily driving. And if you care about other functionalities, obviously a mouse with more button choices and more comfortable shapes matters too, the same way that you might want a car with air conditioning, cup holders, and usable trunk space. By all means, it makes sense to go for the no-compromises lightweight mouse if you really need every edge you can get, but let's be honest, the majority of people who buy into this marketing are just making daily life harder for themselves when they don't play competitive shooters anywhere near as hard and have to use their PC for plenty of things other than gaming.
@@rdmz135 I very much respect that there are people who buy lightweight mice who really can make use of the edge it offers and are willing to live with the compromises. I'm just skeptical of the hypetrain when it got popular because I've run into a few people online who've shat on all other types of mice as if it was only due to sheer ignorance why everyone doesn't have ultra lightweight mice with Kailh microswitches and paracords.
I've had the G403 for 3 years now.. Time for an upgrade!
The Razer Mamba Wireless is also a good choice, and it only costs $45 on amazon. It weighs 105 grams, goes up to 16,000 DPI, can go up to 50 hours without charging, has 7 programmable buttons, and uses a charging cable instead of a battery.
"for those of us who are less endowed" gotta be the best quote ive ever heard referring to a mouse lol...nice
Small mouse for a small hand for a small.....
I know this is an amazon video but honorable mention should have the Model O imo its a top tier mouse for $50
Also a O- a D and a viper mini
Yeah I'm rocking the O and in my opinion it beats all of those for FPS games
Especially Rival 3
I bought a original Razer Viper for $25 in best buy lol
Or the Endgame gear xm1
Logitech: Releases g pro x super light. Linus: Damn it!
I've liked the feel and shape of a lot of logitech mice but the corsair scimitar was the best imho, 12 buttons on the side cause I use a razer tartus v2 for some games cause I like reprogramming keys into unique and easy to use layouts where I don't have to move my hands off the WASD spot. Its a little expensive, I think I paid like 100 canadian for it but its a nice size, fits awesome, has nice subtle lighting, looks good and the icue programming (at least for mice and keyboards) works pretty good and I have profiles for like every game with unique colour schemes and key layouts. Plus it fits well with the k70 I have, brushed aluminum looks awesome. I also have the Razer Trinity for my blade stealth for when I use the Core with my spare 1080ti and its nice to be able to have just a normal layout mouse with forward and back for the interwebs, or if I want to game I can throw the 12 button or 8 button side piece on and its like a whole new mouse! I don't like the feel as much as the scimitar though, its long and narrow where the scimitar is wider and supports the hand more.
0:28 That was actually pretty good
Hey he is reviewing my mouse! "Lol don't buy this mouse" ohh..
Same lol
I can vouch for the G600 at least! I love it :)
I click on the video and the first thing he does is pull out the G305 mouse in my gaming setup.
I've been gaming on the stock dell mouse, and surprisingly, it handles pretty well. I will be upgrading soon though :)
@Reese Tannock Thanks, I just bought a death adder elite though. I have seen that mouse at best buy once though, looks very cool.
I'd recommend the wireless version of the Razer Basilisk. It doesn't have RGB but it's got pretty much the same features plus that comfy form factor.
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the SteelSeries Rival 310. Granted, it’s very similar to the DeathAdder in terms of build quality, but for people like me who prefer mouse buttons that click like Logitech’s, it’s a great mouse.
Most of steelseries mouses are pretty good for the price, I've been using the sensei 310 which is the same price as fhe Rival 310 but it's ambidextrous
I have missed this one too. I am using it since last year beginning an i absolutely love it.
They seem to avoid steelseries.
what do you think about the corsair harpoon?
lovebabygirl.link/s3hi1w4ECfEg
Me: (does pc gaming with a $10 Microsoft wireless mouse I got from Staples in 2016) okay
Just buy a g203 for 25$. I have it and its great. You'll have a much better gaming experience
But are you actually gaming with games or with that game staples released a number of years ago?
Thats sad
Jara and on ebay I found the one I use for $18 and it worked great, i use the g305 but came from the g203 and both are great
Lmao. I have a wired Microsoft mouse and it's perfectly fine for gaming.
I do all my gaming with the red dragon m908 impact and I have no issues with it tracking or response time. Mainly fps games. It fits the average hand super nice with the thumb rest and a rest for the ring and Pinky finger. The side buttons are perfect (I prefer a MMO mouse with the 1-12) I guess at a lab tested level it might not stack up, but for the average gamer who can't tell what the difference between 2ms and 14ms is, it's perfect
I've got the g305 now for 1.5 years or so and it's a reeeaaally nice mouse! Though it's wirelles, it's insanely fast in responce. I would recommend it to everyone. I was even thinking of buying a few more for later...
While the g305 was nice maybe before 2021, rn with the orochi v2 idk why you’d chose the g305
@@Houseofballoons420 cool mouse! but price is 30$ more though… not really active rn with searching for mice… I think if my other one ever breaks I’ll give the razer a shot cs the design is almost identical. Have a nice day !🙂
I wish logitech would make a newer model or refresh of the G600
yep, using mine for at least 10 years, every day for hours, still working perfectly, but if it ever breaks i will have to buy the same mouse again since nothing elese competes
Literally bought another one this week incase mine breaks, I can't use another mouse. You get so much extra functionality, it's like a different device category. Only problem is Logitech makes really buggy software!
Agreed. Despite Linus' opinion, this has been my go-to FPS mouse. That 3rd button mapped to an 'on the fly' low DPI (for sniping...) has been amazing lol
I love my G602. I can't use another mouse. My first one lasted 6 years and I just bought another one after trying a few others. Only mouse I could find that works with my hands.
My G600 is 6 years old. Literally no other mouse can compare with the 24 quick access buttons on the thumbpad with G-Shift. Never running out of buttons, macros or options in any game/application is always nice, and I've been dependent on them for productivity because it's so convenient. Who even needs macro buttons on keyboards anymore with this mouse? Besides having to replace the left click switch on the G600 3 times so far (because of the double-clicking issue), the mouse works great. Also, Linus is wrong about the G600 being heavy and not having adjustable weights. If you open it up, you can actually unscrew and take out the weights to make the mouse lighter.
glorious model O is hands down the best mid range gaming mouse, super comfortable and light, i would recommend it to almost anyone
I got one earlier this year and am loving my experience with it. The newer model Os also fixed the wire package problem
Mm710 is a good contender. Shame they didn't include either of these
i have that mouse and i couldn't agree more
Unless u don’t like light mice
@@Satsujiin what kind of people like a heavy mouse? I have catcher's-mitt hands and find the g502 way too heavy even in palm grip, which is awful for precise aim in shooters, let alone in my preferred fingertip grip.
when u come back to old linus videos and u r now used to see him in beard it feels really different. at least 2020 gave us a new better looking linus more nerdy looking
I have Corsair Harpoon and it's just fantastic, also mid-range
Linus: Do you want to upgrade your mouse? **Me still using my G9x** I'm never upgrading
Same with G600, the Razer Naga is no comparison, and the Corsair Scimitar is even worse, sure sliding buttons, but .. you're going to slide those around more than the first time? .. What, do you share a mouse with like a Linus Sized Hand? Like does your little sister use the same mouse as you or something? That's the only reason to get sliding thumb buttons.. not to mention Corsair dropped the ring-finger, and iirc no longer has tilt wheel functions either. TL;DR Logitech makes mice no one wants to upgrade from until Logitech themselves actually create a replacement for which... seems like they never will /continues to buy G600's like crazy people are buying Toilet Paper/
g9x has an shit sensor by todays standards though
@@mastistino72 i know but i still love it
Omissions: Razer Viper Mini Steelseries Rival 3 Those are great FPS mice on a budget. Edit: also the Cooler Master MM710 is pretty good.
@@lordv1le859 yeah, but Rival 100 got that 3050 office sensor, just like those generic Cooler Master stuff you get added bonus when you buy their cheap mem-chanical keybaords
@@komi1834 true , a 110 would be better for a bit more money
Logitech g102 too is a good option
@@astral0877 but the qc issues tho , i have owned 3 g103 , and fortunately none have qc issues YET
@sans undertale yep , but if you can , viper mini is a bit better imo , since the aesthetics better :) and its razer without the rzr tax
Linus: These are the best mice in ~$50 price range *Glorious Model O has entered da chat*
Y'all should really look into the Logitech G102/G203 Light sync. A Budget-King with some great features and a beautiful RGB. The best deal of my life!
My first real gaming mouse. Spent about $30 for a good mouse that I only replaced because the mouse skirts wore down. Would recommend for a budget gamer
Not good . Buy an office or professional mouse instead .
*LMG should switch the intro to the dark mode* .
Dark mode no
Also the avatar.

i've got the Razer Deathadder Elite since 2018, almost four years now. i don't think I'll ever be able to move to another mouse. it feels like it's specifically made for my hand (which is pretty long, not that large) and for my preferences. amazing.
if you have long, not big hands like me, there are better options. btw, I just replaced the same mouse and I’ve had it since 2016, replaced once with warranty

The G600 got an upgrade recently. I had the older braided wire one that Linus reviewed here; I loved it so much that I bought it again when my little brother broke it. The new upgrade feels way better too, and to piggyback on what Linus said, it's also fantastic when you want to be productive in the office because of all the programmable buttons and macros you can put on it. The third click is GREAT and beats $200 Razer Naga pro for me; I own both mouses btw. it's a super easy way to activate G-Shift/Hypershift, which makes it easy to program up to 40 fucking buttons y'all with a simple click of the ring finger! For $35, the G600 is a fucking steal.
You know, as someone who was once all peripherals logitech, I love my corsair set more than I ever did my logitech. I had a g710+, then g910 or w/e (the spectrum one) and a g600 mouse. Now I'm running corsair nightsword (it looks pretty cool, but it did take a bit to get used to a bigger mouse coming from a small mouse with lots of buttons on the side). I miss my buttons, but now that I've adjusted, I love the bigger palmer surface of the nightsword. And for a keyboard, I went k100, and I won't go back. Logitech's new slim keycaps everywhere suck. I don't want low profile keycaps. Logitech refuses to make a gaming keyboard with normal keycaps, therefore they refuse me as a customer, and this just works so much better. I love the dial for horizontal scrolling in photoshop or premiere.
i was actually watching the mid range keyboard video today and was thinking about buying a new mouse and now this. thank you
tl;dr - buy the G305. Replace the switches when they inevitably fail like all Logitech mice do.
Also take a look at the g502. I've had it for a couple years now and love it.
@@awemowe2830 yes! g305 with Kailh GM are great

Idk if they sell this mouse worlwide but, consider buying a mouse called Tecware exo elite. PMW3389 sensor Huano 20 million switch 69 (hehe) gram Paracord feather like wire I got it for like 30 bucks so yeah worth searching for.
"sadly, it's got no RGB lightning" *That* was one of the reasons I bought a G305.
You must have big gay
As if turning off the lights on RBG mice wasn't an option...
Okay, if you don't like fake rgb that only has a rainbow color pattern that isn't changeable, understandable. I don't really like the rainbow flashy stuff. But rgb is great because you can adapt it to any color theme you want.
Same here I don't see how RGB in a mouse has a benefit. I understand it in keyboards or GPUs or whatever but on a mouse you just end up covering it anyway
@@NotFoundead Well, yes but having the unnecessary RGB in there will still increase the price - so by not getting RGB you can instead get a pretty nice wireless mouse at a reasonable price point.
Oh look, my favortie tech channel has a video on budget mouses, which is what I am right now looking for.
I just got the Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed wireless. It's awesome! Both BT 5.0 and 2.4 Ghz dongle modes. Only $65 Australian too.
