Black Friday is on its way and, while I wouldn't expect to see graphics cards dropping below MSRP or memory suddenly becoming a sensibly priced, I am feeling rather more positive about the posibility of genuine Black Friday gaming mouse deals cropping up. We've had a slew of new mice over the past year, and that means last years still-excellent rodents may well be on sale for a song over the November period. Here's hoping.
We're PC gamers, so the best gaming mice are our bread and butter. We spend a lot of time through the year testing the latest mice and the latest tech, so check out our guide to get an idea of what might be the right one for you. In the meantime, though, there are lots of tempting options below.
This rodent is perfect as a starter or low-budget option, with a list of useful features like 6 programmable buttons, Lightsync RGB effects and a ton of customisation via Logitech's G Hub software. This mouse proves that you don't need to go fancy to get a great gaming peripheral.
The Logitech G305 Lightspeed is our favorite budget wireless mouse—it's nothing fancy, but it's lightweight, has great battery life, and uses a killer sensor. The only thing to note is that this deal isn't necessarily that out of left field—the G305 hasn't been at full price for a while, but it's still worth snagging if you need a nice budget option with no frills.
You aren't packing an incredibly high DPI or polling rate with this mouse, but you are getting strong performance for the price, as well as a lightweight, comfortable build, and solid software. Cheap and cheerful is the aim here.
This is a substantial discount on a tried and tested Logitech gaming mouse, with a large amount of customisation. The G502 Hero uses the Hero 25K sensor for accuracy, 11 customizable buttons, and comes with five removable weights to adjust the feel for even the pickiest of competitive gamers.
Our James reviewed the 8BitDo Retro R8, giving it an 87%, and for good reason. It's a mouse with a super unique look, good specs for the price, and it even comes with a cute charging stand. The retro feel is definitely something to get used to, with buttons that are sunken into the mouse itself, but it's a joy to use regardless. The 10% discount comes in at checkout.
Key specs: up to 8,000 Hz polling | 26,000 DPI | 77 g | up to 100-hour battery life
