If budget is your top priority, you’ll want a gaming mouse that delivers on the essentials without any extra features that might raise the price. Thankfully, Logitech’s G203 wired gaming mouse is exactly that, delivering on the essentials at an affordable price point.

Coming in a variety of colors, the G203 has a timeless shape with no added slopes, grips, or textures. Along with the main buttons and scroll wheel, two side-mounted thumb buttons give room to customize, while the top button quickly cycles through user-set DPI modes. Much like its competitors, you can customize buttons, DPI, RGB, and more through Logitech’s G Hub software.

Customization is important for any gamer, and having a mouse that offers a wide variety of customization options makes it that much easier to reach your peak performance. If you don’t mind its sharp, angular design, the Logitech G502 Hero is one of the best cheap gaming mouse options on the market in terms of customization.

Five programmable buttons around the thumb rest and left click button allow for quick execution of all your most important inputs in any game. The left-right buttons themselves are impressive too, as their longer design allows for a wider range of grip styles. The G502 Hero even features adjustable weight, although its base weight may be a bit heavy for some users.
