By Alex Morgan, PC Hardware Editor
12 min read5 products evaluated

Under $50, wireless gaming mice usually run on 2.4GHz dongles and some add Bluetooth. Every pick was $50 or less, ordered from the lightest listed weight.
We sorted these picks by weight, programmable buttons and max DPI, working from the makers' own data; nothing here was tested in-house, and if a maker skips weight, the guide says so.
