Build quality? Steelseries of course. Ergonomics? I have both mice and most of my friends chose DA after testing out both.

Best mouse for osu!?

I'd strongly recommend that if you do get a new mouse, that it has a PMW33XX sensor (the name of the sensor starts with PMW33). PMW3366 is the best sensor on the market, but is currently exclusive to Logitech, and only put in three of their mice; the G303, G502, and the G900. Unfortunately, The G502 (the one I own) is quite heavy and could be hard to get used to, while the G900 costs $150 The G303 is a decent mouse, but I've heard from many people saying their hands hurt after using it a few hours.Binzhou5 wrote:

Wtf, another best left clicker?
Get a keyboard.
Anyway, if you're not happy with those, there's plenty of mice on the market with the PMW3360 sensor, or the sensor from the previous generation. All of which are great sensors and come with 0 hardware acceleration; something you definitely want when trying to be accurate.
PS: And no, you're not the only left clicker. :') I only wish I had learned to play the game with the keyboard keys alone from the beginning, as it is quite difficult to point and click effortlessly with a ~130g mouse.

You're forgetting the good ol' Avago 3090 mice out there. For what they are worth they were the old "beast" sensors.Avalarr wrote:

Also you probably don't need a keyboard either, this player is mouse only https://osu.ppy.sh/u/286740 and is a really good player (#290)
I'd say avoid Rival 300, i own that shit and i think It's too heavy and too large for playing osu, others games are fine.
Get something that has optical sensor(most recent if possible, not outdated and shit), isn't too heavy and isn't too large.

There's nothing wrong with having an outdated sensor... Even though the Avago 3090 needs to be set to 800dpi to perform at its best, it's still one of the best sensors on the market.
Also, the G100S may be a nice choice for a lightweight mouse. While its sensor has a fairly limiting max speed, it performs fantastically within its limits and will not hold you back in a game like osu!. I wouldn't recommend it for FPS games though.

It depends on your hand size. I own the Rival 300 and it's perfect for me when playing CS:GO and Overwatch, which isn't way too far off compared to osu. If you're a person with small hands avoid the Rival 300 and get a Zowie mice (ZA, FK, EC.. depends on your grip) or a Logitech G303 (if you're okay with the shape) but if you have medium to large hands then the Rival 300 is a great choice. The only mice you should definitely avoid that is popular is the Logitech G502, that thing is a fucking brick and makes every fast-paced game nearly unplayable unless you're a guy with ripped biceps..qmaz wrote:

If G502 is a brick then that makes my G602 a freaking lead weight. Although I would say the wireless tracking is more than sufficient for fast maps in osu!, as a current owner.Rurree wrote:

I don't even consider the G602 a gaming mice, while the ergonomics are nice and will be comfortable for multimedia use, with its weight being up at 152g, I can never see myself aiming well with that mouse. Even if I'm an ultimate frisbee player, which means my arms and wrists are pretty strong.
You don't need particularly strong wrists to use a heavy mouse. I have no problems using my G502 with all 5 additional weights and my wrists aren't any stronger than the average person's.
I'd say the surface you're tracking on is more important than the mouse you're using, just as long as the mice you're using doesn't have built-in hardware acceleration. I used my Razer Goliathus Speed edition mousepad for only two weeks before noticing discrepancies in the way my mouse tracked over some parts of the pad compared to others. Had to get a new mousepad just for Osu; the Roccat Sense is great for this. 
Problems like that still have a lot to do with the mouse you're using. Some mice have issues tracking on coloured surfaces, while other mice have no problems whatsoever. It really doesn't have much to do with the quality of the surface itself.Avalarr wrote:

And honestly, the Razer Goliathus Speed isn't bad. I do think it's a tad overpriced though.
It's damn heavy if you lift the mouse a lot while using low dpi, especially on games like CS:GO. Not really a problem for osu! since you don't want to lift the mouse as much as possible, but it's heavy for anything else.Xyrus wrote:

Not sure why you'd buy a heavy mouse if you're going to use low DPI though.Arthraxium wrote:

Can I ask what grip do you use? I think that majority of players use palm or claw grip, but for fingertips grip the weight can matter much more, at least in my case.
Aside of cable, my mouse weights 87 gram, which I suppose is very light? But even with that, my forearm gets tired quite quickly in longer playing sessions and I start to play <2 minute long songs (or just something easier). I tried some heavier mice and I think I would have problems with them >///<.
I use G303, shit is light and I use fingertip grip, FCing 5 minutes maps isn't a major problem. And before that I use death adder which I still FC 5 minutes long maps, you need to play more.
I would recommend any Logitec-mouse that you can get with your budget.
Another thing I would recommend you is learning to tap with your keyboard.
It will improve your aim and timimg-precision since you use both your hands.
And your right hand doesn´t have to do everything.
Have a good day,

Why I see so many "get a tablet" replys? Some players play osu! to increase their mouse accuracy for some other games (CS:GO, Overwatch, etc), I know a tablet is the best option but as myself I really want a recommendation for mouse.

G402 user here looking for a mouse with really good sensor and slightly lighter
i use a corsair sabre and it's pretty solid for what i payed for it. i've used it for everything for over a year and it's great.
logitech g pro. bit more on the expensive side but just my 2 cents as i like it 
80g so a bit lighter, wireless, no problems with the sensor.
80g so a bit lighter, wireless, no problems with the sensor.just get the wacom 480 lmao
