What’s the best gaming mouse under $100? That depends on what kind of mouse you actually need. Or, more specifically, what kind of games you like play and how many dollars you’re willing to spend.

If you play a lot of MOBA or MMO type games, you’re probably going to want a mouse with a lot of thumb buttons. If you’re more of an FPS or RTS gamer, a more basic mouse with a higher DPI sensor and a better grip is what you want.

Don’t get washed up into the “flawless” mouse hype, because even if your mouse’s sensor is allegedly “flawless”, you aren’t. Considering what sensor a mouse uses (and which switches) is always a good idea, but never buy one just because someone told you it was “flawless”, everything has its flaws.

Every mouse has it’s pros, and cons, but there are so many choices within this price range, that you can guarantee these 5 mice are the best you can get for under $100, regardless if they’re rated #1-5 on this page.
