Reddit reviews Logitech G100s Optical Gaming Mouse

For the best available right now you'll have to shell out around $60, really. I use the Roccat Kone Pure Military Edition and it retails for about that.

Take a gander at the geekhack thread linked at the bottom of the OP for some mouse reviews.

The G100 comes to mind as an economy choice--it is a solid mouse with very low click response time and good tracking, and economical. It's main problem is it has a low max tracking speed, which the g402 rectifies while using the same sensor:

G105 Wired Backlit keyboard - $39.99 currently, but I couldnt find the same model # as the BB one, they look exactly alike, idk. 4 stars

G230 Headset - $35.99 currently, 4 stars on both Amazon and NE. Reviews seem to indicate a typical low-tier headset. My x12's broke recently and i need a headset more than anything atm.

G100s Mouse - $16.88 on Amazon, $39.99 on NE. Also 4 stars.I still use my G5 from 10 years ago, even though I lost my weights. No idea how this one works, seems to be a typical entry level mouse. Optical, 2500 dpi.

so works out to $92.86 for me, and that's with all those items marked down from their MSRP. Mousepads can be had for as little as .99, no idea what this ones like.



I too was thinking about buying this, but they all seem to be entry-level items. -
I need a new headset (I have nice headphones, but I like to have a mic too since my x12's are broke), I like my mouse however. It's an old G5, but honestly I cant see myself needing that one. I like the keyboard, I have a shitty wireless Logitech one, no backlit, broken pegs so it lays flat as fuck. But I feel like spending a little more on a nice mechanical KB, and buying slightly better headphones would be MY option. If you arent entirely satisfied with your setup, or don't care to take any higher of a leap, I'd say go for it.

$22 for a fantastic mouse for your purposes. You won't find better for the price.

It's also $16.99 from a FBA seller on amazon. You can save tax this way.

Well, more like $21, but it's still a decent bundle.

In your price range I would recommend the new G series from Logitech. Depending on the type of games you play you could go for the Logitech G400s or the Logitech G100s. I personally play more RTS and MOBA games so I got the 100s and also because I like my mice as light as possible.

Also remember to get a cloth mouse pad for these optical mouse you can get. Imho optical is definitely better to use because I prefer precision over speed. It also helps that they are cheaper. The best cloth pads are the Steelseries QCK line imo, and as you can see they are quite affordable.

The Logitech g100s is the cheapest mouse I would consider worth buying.

Try a Logitech G100s. Basic wired mouse, good build quality, with the tunable features of a gaming mouse.

Logitech G100s Optical Gaming Mouse https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BCEK2LK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OhzYAbWP645JA

Probably something like:

CM Storm Quickfire Rapid - $75

Logitech G100s - $22

If you can handle refurbished the Logitech G100s is a great budget mouse, the DPI is great for gaming an dis adjustable via LGS, or the DPI button. it's about 19 plus shipping right now. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00BCEK2LK/ref=olp_tab_refurbished?ie=UTF8&condition=refurbished

I can try to give you something now. This Azio keyboard is on a CRAZY sale right now, I've used this thing before and it's great, has blue back lighting, a volume wheel, and a wrist rest. For the mouse, go with a Logitech 100s, I honestly haven't used this mouse, but I do know that some pro Counter Strike players use it so I'm assuming it's at least decent.

EDIT: Here's another option, Try that Azio keyboard, This Steelseries mouse and this portable desk

The only mouse I've found to be anywhere near close to it is the Logitech G100 released a few years ago: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-G100s-Optical-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00BCEK2LK

It's not 100% the same though and it's missing the side buttons which I use everyday.

May as well ask this again: I'm looking for a sub 80-100 dollar headset. I have very big ears.

I'm looking at: Clouds, Cloud IIs, Siberia 2s, but nothing without an integrated mic

Also is this mouse any good

Even though it may not be selling for $40, the original retail price is $39.99

This thing doesn't seem too bad. You aren't gonna get your 5400dpi though.

I use a Logicech G400s, but at ~$50, that's a bit out of your price range. It's really really nice, though.

If you don't need many features (extra buttons, etc...) maybe try the Logitech G100s. I haven't used this myself, but if it's close to as nice as my G400s it'll be really good.

Or, as verybiglama said, the Razer Abyssus is very popular.

As said below, SSD is a bit shit.


That mouse also looks horrific, get a G100s same price, much better sensor.

Well, it depends. What budget do you have? Do you want a mouse that's more flashy or subtle? Or one with programmable buttons?

The Logitech G100S is a decent mouse that's relatively subtle and also relatively cheap.

If you have plenty of money to spend, I'd look at the Logitech G700S. It's basically an upgrade from the G100S, same mouse, but more ergonomical + reprogrammable keys and it can be wireless or wired. (I've been using this one for just over a year now, can personally vouch for this)

The G500S I feel is a good comprimise between the two, however I haven't owned one so I can't really vouch for it but it's fairly popular.

I can't really speak for other brands as I've only ever used Logitech, but you can refer to this for cheap, decent gaming mice. The brands are generally very reliable as well (Although I'd stay away from Razer if I were you, they seem to break often but send it back and you'll get a replacement for free)

EDIT: Added links

For wired - G100s $30 + [G105] (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-G105-Gaming-Keyboard-Backlighting/dp/B00BBUCCKO) $45

CM Storm Recon would be the best for $35

Logitech G100s Is very good.

Steelseries KinzuV2 is still used by several top level players.

However if you can get to a staples,, this is your best option by far: http://www.staples.com/Logitech-G400s-Gaming-Mouse/product_202144

Either a Quickfire Rapid for $70, leaving you with $30 for something like a G100s, or you can get something like a magicforce 68 for $40, leaving you with $60 to more or less get any mouse you want.

Not sure where you're from, but the G100s certainly isn't continued, at least not in the US. Other options you can look for (perhaps on auctions sites) are the G100, the Laser G3, and the optical G1. Beware that there are many, many fake G1s out there though.

For an extra $35 this has an ssd which is super fast storage which is a huge quality of life improvement. It causes programs on it to load much faster, and improves computer boot time greatly. Also, the r9 280 graphics card is much better than a 750 ti, so gaming will be much better.


The ram is dual-channel instead of single channel which is a very slight improvement, but the same price.

The case has usb 3 and is decent for the price.

Modular power supply makes the building much easier and cleaner, I have this one in one of my builds.

Even though it has less cores and clock-speed, intel's haswell architecture makes each core about twice as fast as those on the fx-6300 and single core performance is more important for games and most everyday tasks. The I5 is just a betttter cpu than the fx-6300 in almost every case.

EDIT: for the keyboard and mouse, I would recommend a cheaper gaming mouse ie this:

http://www.amazon.com/E-3lue-E-Blue-Mazer-Optical-Gaming/dp/B00E88G054/ref=sr_1_6?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1407566561&sr=1-6

Or this:

And for keyboard save for a mechanical keyboard, and as a placeholder get anything that's cheap and has decent reviews.

This isn't the best mouse under $40, but it's good enough for me.

Right but the point is, you can get it for a much lower price than that and it'll still work. Proof
