Wireless gaming mice have come a long way – no longer do you have to pay $100+ for a lag-free wireless experience. There are now several budget wireless mice under $50 that deliver solid performance for gaming, with the convenience of no cables. When shopping in this price range, you’ll mostly find two types: some are scaled-down versions of flagship mice (with older sensors or fewer features), and others are from lesser-known brands offering surprising value. The key things to look for are a reliable wireless connection (2.4 GHz is preferable for low latency), decent sensor (at least 8-12K DPI capable), and good battery life. Here are our top picks available in the US market:
The G305 makes another appearance here because it truly dominates the budget wireless category. Often on sale around $40, it gives you Logitech’s Lightspeed wireless tech (which is virtually as responsive as wired) and the HERO sensor, all in a small 99g package. Its battery life is stellar (up to 250 hours on one AA). Many gamers use the G305 as their main mouse, which says a lot about its quality. If you want the safest bet under $50, the G305 is it – no wonder it’s an “expert’s favorite budget gaming mouse” that frequently gets recommended.
This lesser-known mouse is a hidden gem for frugal shoppers. Priced around $35, the M686 Vampire Elite is a wireless RGB gaming mouse that punches above its weight. It features a 16,000 DPI sensor, 8 programmable buttons, and even includes a fire-button rapid click feature. Uniquely, it has grooves to comfortably rest your ring and pinky fingers – a thoughtful touch for right-handed ergonomics. The mouse charges via USB-C and can also be used wired. Tom’s Hardware noted that this affordable, well-built mouse carries many hallmarks of a premium device despite the low cost. If you’re okay with a brand that’s not Razer/Logitech, the Redragon M686 offers tremendous value.
Razer’s budget wireless option often dips to ~$40-45 and provides a fantastic value from a top brand. The Basilisk X HyperSpeed uses Razer’s proven 2.4 GHz wireless (or Bluetooth for extended battery life) and a 16K DPI optical sensor. Its shape is ergonomic with a nice thumb rest – basically a simplified version of the high-end Basilisk. It doesn’t have RGB and requires an AA battery (up to 450 hours on Bluetooth), but those compromises keep the price low. Importantly, it performs on par with more expensive models in terms of latency and accuracy. If you want a trusted name and excellent performance for under $50, the Basilisk X is a top contender.
