Best FPS gaming mice if you are not on a budget
Razer Viper V3 Pro
The Razer Viper V3 Pro stands out in this list thanks to its exceptional quality across the board. If you are a gamer primarily playing FPS games, then you will have no issues at all with the Razer Viper V3 Pro. Be it the click latency or that of the sensor, or the weight of the mouse, the Razer Viper V3 Pro has all the boxes ticked, and in what way! The mouse has a symmetrical shape. Couple that with exceptionally great build quality and choice of materials, and you have a winner on your hands. You cannot go wrong with the Razer Viper V3 Pro.
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, like its predecessor, focuses on delivering top-notch performance without any unnecessary frills. Logitech has enhanced every aspect of the already impressive G Pro X Superlight, including its weight, switches, sensor, and battery life. Despite its minimalist design, this mouse still looks great without the need for flashy RGB lighting. However, the need to use software to adjust DPI and the absence of a dedicated DPI switch can be inconvenient, especially for gamers who play various genres. If you’re comfortable with the software, this mouse is highly recommended, particularly for competitive FPS gamers seeking a reliable wireless gaming companion.
BenQ ZOWIE EC2-CW
The BenQ ZOWIE EC2-CW has a comfortable design with a convenient thumb groove and a subtle groove for the pinkie finger. It is made of sturdy materials and has a solid build quality. It has a high-performance sensor that provides accurate tracking and low click latency, which is important for fast-paced gaming. The mouse weighs approximately 75 grams and can last up to 70 hours while gaming. This places it strategically between the lightweight category, ideal for swift movements, and a more substantial build that provides steady control. It has a box price of ₹19,999 but wait before you take the plunge, as you can regularly find this mouse, retailing for about ₹10,999 on e-commerce platforms.

HyperX Pulsefire Haste
The wired counterpart of the fabled Pulsefire Haste, the HyperX Pulsefire Haste, comes with excellent build quality, with a comfortable grip for most people, thanks to its symmetrical shape. The latency on the sensor is also minimal, unlike its wireless brethren, and you will not feel any hitches when you are gaming with the HyperX Pulsefire Haste. The PixArt PAW3335 sensor packed in the mouse, and the glide pads make sure that you will not face any issues on a variety of mousing surfaces. It is one of the best FPS gaming mice you can get under ₹5,000.
Logitech G102
The budget king, the Logitech G102, has a shape that has become ever so popular over the years. At ₹1,395, you get a solid overall package. There is a hint of RGB on the lower edge of the mouse. Aesthetics and shape out of the way, thanks to Logitech’s expertise in building some of the best FPS mice in the business, you get great performance on the mouse, despite its price, and there are practically no corners cut by the brand here. There have been complaints about the longevity of the switches in the mouse; however, if you take good care of it, you should not have to worry about it much.
Razer DeathAdder Essential
Razer DeathAdder Essential also comes in close contention as the best budget gaming mouse in the market, alongside the Logitech G102. Again, thanks to Razer’s expertise in building some of the best PC peripherals in the market, you get a solid performer overall. Over the years, Razer DeathAdder Essential has come to be celebrated by many gamers across the globe. It gives you a taste of excellent mousing performance without breaking the bank. If you are a lefty though, you might want to shift focus on the G102, as this mouse has an ergonomic shape, best suited for right-handed gamers.
