Good cheap mouse?

It has an obscene amount of buttons for someone who only plays FPS's, but it looks pretty good. Some of the reviews state you can't change the button names (as in button 9 on the mouse = number 9 on your number pad, easier for binding) but the rest of the reviews are 5 stars.

I've heard that steelseries is really good, never owned a steelseries mouse before, but this one looks pretty good and is cheap.

I've heard that SteelSeries mouses are good, but not top quality. In my opinion SteelSeries is still the king of mouse pads, not mice. My friend's Steel Series is already rubbing away after like half a year.

Why in the world would he need a (relatively small) MMO mouse if he only plays First Person Shooters? 

 

Also, with Razer Synapse 2.0, Razer's products only work when they have a valid internet connection. cannot be properly set up without a valid internet connection, and the keymapping runs through a cloud. 

 

Fixed, since it originally sounded stupid.

The hell are you talking about icha? Never had an issue with my mouse when internet goes out, nor an issue with synapse.

 

The thing synapse does is save your mouse settings in a cloud network, thus letting you take your mouse elsewhere and connect it and have all the individualized settings you would at home. Yeah, you can't "set-up" this feature without your internet connection, but the logic there is "I need to go to this site and upload settings, but internet is down. Therefore mouse is at fault and I can't use it at all". Which is inaccurate, you lose some features without having it connected to synapse, but once you are set-up and have connected once, you are good. Even if your internet connection goes down, as long as you aren't trying to upload/download the settings, you are fine.

 

 

And to this thread:

 

I personally use a razer taipan, which is a bit outside of your budget (70$ iirc),

 

I've never heard of that mouse company that you listed. Honestly, most "good" mice will run you a bit more than your budget atm, since most "good" start at I believe 50$.

 

However, what style of grip do you use -Claw, finger, palm? This honestly does have a bit of impact in what mouse you use, since some are better suited for certain grips (ie smaller mice are better claws from what I have found, and larger are better palm.)

Like the Sensei but cheap and with LED lightning. You have to like to CoD logo and orange LEDs though.

Good for fingertip and claw grip style.

 

I was considering this mouse because it's very cheap, but went with the Sensei MLG because I got the budget for it.

I was setting up Razer Synapse 2.0 on my new Naga Epic for GW2 and stuff, when it said I couldn't set it up because I didn't have a valid internet connection. I called them and it said it couldn't be configured with internet connection, so at that point I just bypassed Synapse and it works fine now. 

 

So, I guess I should say the key mapping / etc is based off of a cloud, not the mouse itself. Poor wording on my part.
