Best Gaming Mouse Under 1000 rs in India

If you are a gamer, mouse is probably one of the most used tools in your daily life. If you are still using normal Mouse for gaming, it’s time to upgrade. Gaming mouse generally offer more buttons and more DPI settings compared to normal mice. For example DPI of normal Mouse range from 500 to 1000 in the budget segment (under 1000rs). Where are gaming mice offer up to 7000 Dpi within that thousand rupee bracket. 

If you don’t know what DPI (Dot per Inch) is, Then In layman’s terms it’s the speed of your mouse. With higher DPI you can move a lot faster and with lower DPI you can make Slow and accurate movements. You need both while gaming so gaming mice offer options to switch between different DPI settings. 

Additional Programmable buttons (macro keys) will help with your combination key strokes. Most of the mice listed here even allows you to keep different profiles for different games or applications

Due to the presence of programmable buttons, Gaming mice are also a good tool for productivity works. For example you can program a single mouse button to do combo keystrokes like cut (Clrl+X), copy (Clrl+C), paste (Clrl+V) etc…

Why thousand rupees??

I believe thousand rupees is a Good starting point for all budget Gamers. 5 years ago if you asked me “what is the best Mouse under 1000 rupees?” I would have said blindly go with the Dragon war Thor. At that time Thor was the only good gaming Mouse under 1000rs. In 2020 that’s not the case. Many new players like Redgear, Offbeat, Topmate, Redragon etc… Entered in the Budget segment. So in this post we will be looking at some good gaming Mouse you can buy under 1000 rupees in India 

I have included the current (2020) market pricing of all mice in description itself, but these prices fluctuates with time, so I will be leaving amazon links too…

1. Topmate M18 Wired Gaming Mouse (Overall Best)

Topmate is a relatively new brand in Indian market. If you want to have maximum number of buttons in your mouse, this is as good as it gets under 1000rs. It comes with a total of 9 buttons. That means you will get 6 additional buttons other than left click right-click and Middle click. This one normally sells for 999 rs in amazon. In my opinion currently this is the overall best under 1000rs 

Pros

• It comes with 4000DPI, 4000 is a good number in terms of DPI. Even if your mouse have like 12,000 of 16000 DPI, I don’t think anyone will use it at that speed 
• It has very precise control over DPI settings. You can have 8 different settings from 500 to 4000 (500/1000/1500/2000/2500/3000/3500/4000). Normally it’s only 4 or 5 for a 4000 DPI Mouse 
• You can adjust weight of this Mouse. It comes with 55 gram weights which can be used to make the mouse heavier or lighter
• It comes with a braided Cable 
• It has 6 additional buttons. Company also Provide the software to customize these buttons and control the lighting effects
• 3 additional buttons can be easily accessible with our thumb and the other 3 are meant for your forefinger 
• The grip is very comfortable for palm grippers, you have textured thumb rust and it’s well designed

Cons

• In my opinion this mouse is not ideal for finger gripping/claw gripping. You can do it but then the third thumb button may come in your way
• Actually, I didn’t find any other major flaws here. In that case  this is my top 1 recommendation as of now (2020)

If you are in search of a Minimalist looking mouse for gaming this one’s for you. Never underestimate this mouse, it may look simple but it’s powerful. It utilizes an Avago sensor (Avago 3050) which can go up to 4000dpi 899rs but most of the time you will get a 100rs coupon so effective price is 799rs

It has an inbuilt battery and comes with a micro usb cable which can be used for charging the mice. It uses 2.4 GHz dongle for connectivity in wireless mode. The normal price is 899rs if you buy this without mousepad. If you want to have the mousepad then you have to pay 100rs more. Which makes the total price 999rs (Still under 1000rs LOL) 

Pros

• Obviously being wireless is the biggest advantage of this mouse 
• Inbuilt rechargeable battery. This can be an advantage or disadvantage from different angles, let’s take a look at some of them 
• You don’t have to carry around additional AA or AAA batteries
• You can simply recharge the mouse with your power bank or laptop
• It uses micro usb for charging so you may not have to carry a cable for the mouse (you can use your phones cable)  
• Major disadvantage to this is

• It can go up to 3200 DPI in 3 steps, 1600, 2400 & 3200 

Cons

If you have bigger hands and like wider mice then this one is for you.  This one comes with 3200 DPI and a total of 6 buttons. In this mouse you can easily rest your ring finger and pinky finger on the right side. In fact M606 (NOTHOSAUR), M607 (Inquisitor Basic), M609 (Phaser), M610 (Redragon Gainer) all of these Redragon models uses the same sensor, same number of buttons, same DPI, Same switches (all rated for 5mil clicks), so just look for ergonomics and aesthetics. If one is out of stock you can go for the other. All of them are priced between 650rs – 750rs.

Pros

• It a good choice for palm grip users with large hands

6. Redgear A-20 (bang for your buck)

Another Great mouse from Redgear. If you doesn’t care about the simplicity of Redgear X12 Pro you can go with this more stylish A-20. Unlike X12 Pro this one comes with 4 additional buttons and 4800 dpi. It normally sells for 720rs and I think it’s a great deal at that price. The shape and look reminds me of Razer DeathAdder

Pros

• It comes with 7 programmable buttons i.e., you will get 4 additional buttons other than left click right click and middle click
• It has a braded 1.8m cable with a gold plated usb connector
• In my personal opinion I prefer this one over both Redragon Phaser M609 & Redgear X12 Pro

If you are looking for an eye catchy colorful gaming mouse this one is for you. This also the cheapest (in terms of price) in this list. Offbeat – Killshot normally sells for around 599rs but sometimes it even come under 500rs.

Pros

• It’s definitely eye catchy and different looking compared to others

Honorable mentions

1. Dragonwar ELE-G9 Thor

Redgear Dragonwar Thor is a legend of budget gaming mouse in India. I believe it’s still a good choice under 1000rs. It comes with braded cable, 7 programmable buttons and a dpi up to 3200. Nowadays it sells for around 950rs, but I believe at that price Redragon Pegasus M705 is a better choice (if you don’t really need that 2 extra buttons)

2. Logitech G300s Optical Gaming Mouse

Logitech G300s is also a great mouse. If you are looking for a Logitech mouse this is the one for you. Normally it sells for 1100-1300rs that’s why I excluded G300s from the list. But sometimes during sales days the price comes even down to 999rs. During last amazon shopping festival its price came down to 999rs but that’s the only time I saw G300s at that price.

• G300s comes with 9 programmable buttons (6 additional buttons) which can be customized using Logitech gaming software.  Logitech gaming software is one of the most reliable customizing software out there
• More over G300s is an ambidextrous mouse that means it can be used by both left and right hand. So if you are a lefty then this one may suite you
• With that all being said G300s is the base model of Logitech gaming series and it’s an old model released back in 2015 (I believe).
• The mouse is small so may not be suitable for people with large hands and palm grippers.

3. Redragon Centrophorus M601

Back in the day it was the only gaming mouse with adjustable weight around that 1000rs mark. It’s still a good mouse but I think Topmate M18 will be a better choice for those who need adjustable weights. If the topmate M18 is not available and you need an adjustable weight mouse you can definitely consider this

4. Xmate Zorro 3200 DPI LED Backlight 6 Button Wired USB Gaming Mouse

If you still want to lower your budget, this is one of the best gaming mouses under 500rs in India.  It comes with a 1.5m nylon braded cable and a 4 level adjustable dpi up to 3200. This one normally sells for 499rs and during deals price comes down to 449rs

Even though there is 3 additional buttons on this mouse, they are not programmable that’s the major drawback of this one

They also have a wireless version of this mouse “Xmate Zorro Pro 3200DPI, Rechargeable 2.4Ghz Wireless Gaming Mouse” which normally sells for 799rs but in my opinion Offbeat RIPJAW 2.4 GHz Rechargeable Wireless mouse is a better option
