logitech g900 or nothing get a tablet
jokes aside it depends on your budget
the logitech g402 is a good to go for most ppl
preferably play with something that's not above 1500

I'd get a Zowie mouse (FK, ZA, EC) for the same price as a G402, as they tend to be lighter than most mice.

I have a Steelseries Rival 300. It's amazing and feels way more natural than a Deathadder. Build quality is top notch too, better than the Deathadder, I should say.

Either get a Zowie mice or a Steelseries Rival.

Disregarding Razer's controversial build quality, Deathadder is probably their best (and only great) product.
Despite lacking functionality compared to Logitech mice, it's almost better than the SteelSeries ones. Also, it's the comfiest mouse I ever played with. The side grips are FUCKING amazing.

I would recommend Zowie FK / ZA ones. I myself have ec1-a and i think having ambidextrous mouse is better for osu! than ergonomic mouses... But otherwise it's really good for playing osu! :)

deduaduderu is fine

what is best is pretty subjective

I feel like the side grips on the Rival 300 are much better than the Deathadder ones but that's just me. It resists abrasions and sweat, unlike the previous model.

If anything, just avoid any Logitech mice if your purpose is for osu or FPS games. The Logitech G502, while it may look cool and have nice features, it's weight makes it like a brick and you will feel tired only after an hour of gaming. The Logitech G303, while having a flawless sensor, sadly, has a shitty niche shape that could also possibly hurt your hand. I guess you could try the G900 but it's expensive as fuck at $150, it's wireless though.

The only time I managed to tire my mouse arm out in an hour was when I added all 5 weights and spammed jumps maps that were faster than I could aim. I can normally play for 2 hours before my keyboard fingers get tired and sluggish.

It probably differs from person to person though, but I find the G502 comfortable..

Depends on DPI, I guess. I play on 400 dpi when I play CS:GO then 800 dpi when I play osu and Overwatch. My friend has a G502 that I use when we go to his house for LAN parties, it's way too narrow, low and heavy for my liking. It's more of a psychological "tiredness" I think though, and that I've gotten way too used to the weight of my mouse which is 104 g with the cable. I'd rather stick to my Rival 300.

But yeah, it's all about preferences. Just pick the mouse which suits you most, but the Rival, Deathadder, and Zowie mices can cater to most of consumers.

You could always get a Rival 300 and a Deathadder cheaper if they're the last ones on stock or if it's a Black Friday sale. Anywhere else, it's always at $59.99. Also, the G303 really is cheaper than the Rival 300 and the Deathadder, due to it being considerably smaller and being a bit low on the quality side.

Zowie mices are always in that price range though.

How long do they often last? That's also an important factor. I've heard stories of people going through four deathadders in a year's time. Is this truly how long they last?
Not very long but it sure is comfy as hell...

You can never be so sure about any product's build quality, no matter which brand. Those who buy four deathadders in a year are stupid because they don't make use of its warranty. If you're worried about quality, find a good mouse with a warranty that lasts for a year or more, and just replace it if anything goes wrong.
Rurree
If you want a mouse with impeccable build quality, go for Zowie or Steelseries instead. While the Deathadder may not have that bad of a build quality as some people may say, it still is inferior compared to the aforementioned mice when it comes to the premium feel and longevity. There are warranties though, make use of it. It can be a bit of a hassle though, especially if you have to ship it.

tbh if it's for a youth centre, any gaming mouse under $30 with optical sensor would do it, since people with different hand size and stuff would be using it, choose midium size ambidextrous mouse with a simple shape.

I am using Logitech G303 Daedalus Apex and I can really recommend it! I heard that many other players are using it too. It's looks like this:-->click<--

It's fairly small mouse, good for fingertips and claw grip, quite light and very good, when it goes to its performance. It's shape, aside of two additional buttons that are only on the left side, makes it ambidextrous. I heard that some people don't like the shape, but I personally love it. It's great for fingertips grip and I personally don't like mice with "big asses" ;P Also, thanks to it's shape my fingers don't slide out after getting sweaty, like with some other mice.


Whatever you was to buy, I would advise you to at least try to find an opportunity to hold the mouse IRL. Some markets and shops with electronics, like Media Markt, Saturn and countless other, maybe even most computer shops, will allow you to hold and try the mouse before buying it. Don't buy something blindfolded, because if it happens to be uncomfortable for your hand for some reason, you will probably regret it later.

I was surprised how much capricious I was, when I went to do it myself! This mouse is too big, this one is too curved, this shape is uncomfortable, at this one my fingers will slide too much, this one have too big ass rear and I can't hold it properly with my fingers, another two too big ones, then too heavy one, this one is right-handed, but feels like left-handed for me and it's weird to hold it, then a mouse with too big friction, even though its undercoat is new... then mice that needs too much of force for a click... etc. ... etc... and these were all gaming mouses :P

Tried the G302 at the store, angles cut deep into hand

If you want a nice mouse on the cheap, I'd suggest the Zalman ZM-M600R. It's basically just a rebranded Skydigital Nmouse4K (which coincidentally happens to be the mouse that Angelsim uses). Honestly, I'd even recommend going to the Skydigital website and flashing their firmware on there instead of Zalman's.

The shape is a basic ambidextrous shape with no side buttons (kinda like the Logitech G100S), which isn't the most comfortable, but isn't bad. The build quality is solid, and the mouse has a removable weight inside (if you're into disassembly). It uses an Avago 3090 optical sensor which performs terrifically (even with the 4000dpi SROM), especially considering that it maintains 1000Hz more consistently than any other mice I've ever tried. But most importantly, it's been benchmarked to be one of, if not the most responsive mice in terms of button latency (which can make a noticeable difference in gameplay if you play mouse-only and/or other games).

Just a few tips about setting up this mouse though:
lots of text
1) The default DPI steps are weird and aren't native for some reason (the default settings are 600/1000/1600/4000 even though the native steps of the sensor are 800/1600/3200/4000), but the settings allow you to assign different DPI settings to the physical switch on the bottom of the mouse, and the mouse will remember these settings even if you uninstall the software or move to a different PC. I'd suggest to change the mouse's DPI settings to match the sensor's native DPI steps in the software for optimum performance, but I'd also recommend playing at 800dpi as the higher settings will make the cursor faster and less controllable.
2) Angle Snapping is enabled by default and should be turned off in the software. It'll only serve to harm your accuracy (well, unless you love drawing straight lines instead of playing games)
3) There is also an LOD setting in the software, which is pretty rare for mice with this sensor as far as I know. Low causes the mouse to reduce the noticeably high liftoff tracking distance of the Avago 3090 sensor, while Off causes the sensor's liftoff to behave as-is. I play a lot of FPS games so I'd recommend to set it to Low, but you may want to set it to Off if a high liftoff distance benefits your playstyle.
4) I've mentioned this already, but use the Skydigital firmware instead of Zalman's. There have been reports of the Zalman firmware bricking mice, but since the mouse itself is exactly the same as the Skydigital mouse, you can use the Skydigital firmware, which is safer and still gets updated.
You can get the firmware and the software at Skydigital's Korean website. The firmware should be the second link on the list; make sure to flash the mouse before installing the software, or you may run into detection issues (You may need a second mouse for this process. Also, Google Translate is your friend). The software is in the first link and includes English, so it shouldn't be a problem once it's installed.
...I may have gotten a little too excited and wrote too much
but hey I got this mouse for $21 USD+shipping and it's ridiculously good for that price
