Top 5 Gaming Mice (2021)

 

No.5: Logitech G502

The Logitech G502 mouse is a very unique one. This mouse has a very unique look that almost no other mouse has. There are over 11 programmable buttons on the mouse, which is amazing. This mouse has a 1ms response time making it perfect for games that require precise movements. This mouse is also wireless, making it perfect for more minimalist setups. The battery lasts around 50 hours, so you have plenty of usage before you will need to charge it. The one major downside to this mouse is that it is very pricey, even for a wireless mouse. It comes to a whopping 150$. If you aren’t worried about going broke anytime soon, then this is a good option.

 

No.4: Razer Viper Ultimate

The Razer Viper Ultimate is another great option for those who are in the market for a wireless gaming mouse. This mouse has a 20k DPI Sensor, so this is also a great option for games requiring precise and accurate movements. The wireless has low latency, so you are going to get a fantastic response time from this mouse. The mouse battery lasts over 70 hours, making this mouse one of the best wireless gaming mice. Another amazing feature Razer implemented into this mouse, is the fact that it is ambidextrous. Another very cool feature of this mouse is that it comes with a charging dock. This is a very rare, but cool thing that a mouse has. The one downside is that it only has 5 buttons on the mouse. The Viper Ultimate comes in at a better price than the G502, at 90$.

 

No.3: Logitech G305

The Logitech G305 comes in number three because it has the best bang for your buck. Everyone can see that this is not the fanciest mouse, but what is important is how well it functions for its price. The G305 has a 12,000 DPI Sensor, which is a great sensor for its price. This mouse has 6 buttons, which is even more than the Viper Ultimate. This mouse is also wireless. It has an astonishing, 250-hour battery life! That is 5x the battery life of a mouse at 150$. This mouse has a new Logitech feature called HYPERSPEED. This feature gives the wireless mouse as good of a response as a high-end wired mouse. One of my favorite things about this mouse is that it comes in 6 different colors. Finally, the amazing price. This mouse normally costs 60$, but right now it is only 30$. So if you plan on buying a mouse right now, I highly recommend this one.

 

No.2: Logitech G Pro X Superlight

If you haven’t noticed already this is the third Logitech mouse on this list. That shows how truly amazing Logitech is when it comes to making gaming mice. This mouse is an absolute monster. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight is one of the most popular gaming mice in the world. Especially for people who play esports. When I say super light, I mean super light. This mouse comes in at 63 grams, so this mouse will be floating around in your hand with no problem whatsoever. This mouse also has a 25,000 DPI Optical Sensor which is nuts. This mouse also features the Lightspeed wireless technology just like the G305. As I said, this mouse is crazy. Unfortunately, it is very pricey. Coming in at 150$.

 

No.1: Glorious Model O

I feel like a lot of people are going to disagree with this. The Glorious Model O is a mouse that many people say is overrated, which I half agree with. Build wise, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight beats this mouse. But this mouse is insane for its price. This mouse is the lightest in the entire world. This mouse is 58 grams, which is super awesome. I have this mouse, and I am in love with it. It is truly amazing. It has a very fast response time and a really good ergonomic shape for the hand. This is a wired mouse, but that is why it is the best for gaming. It can have a different debounce time, and it makes it perfect for certain games where you need to click fast. It has a 12,000 DPI sensor for good and precise movements for FPS games. The price of this mouse is 50$. Because of all its wonderful features and good price, it very well deserves the number one spot.

 

Conclusion

In conclusion, I believe that if you want an affordable price and a good mouse, I would recommend the Model O or the G305. If you have a bigger budget, then I would highly recommend the Logitech G Pro Superlight. I hope your mouse shopping goes well, and that you find what is perfect for your needs.

Gateron, the Budget King of Keyboard Switches

Gateron, the Budget King of Keyboard Switches

For those who are unfamiliar with keyboard switches, the biggest switch company is called Cherry MX. Cherry MX has high-quality switches that are a little more on the expensive side, but worth their price. There are many other switch companies out there that may have nicer switches or cheaper switches. Today, I want to focus on the best-cheap keyboard switches out there. That would be Gateron switches.

 

The Gateron Family

Keyboard switches are represented by their colors. For example; Cherry MX Red, Cherry MX Blue, Cherry MX Brown, Cherry MX Black, etc. Each color switch is different. Some are more clicky than others or don’t click at all. Each key is different so that it can fit your personal preference.

 

Now that you know how keyboard switches mainly work, I want to show you the Gateron Family. Gateron is another key switch brand, like Cherry MX. Gateron just has cheaper switches, making it a great budget-friendly option for cheap keyboard builds. Many companies make cheap switches, but Gateron is different. Gateron makes switches just as good as Cherry MX, yet they are much cheaper. Which makes Gateron arguably the best key switch company. When I say “best”, I mean value. There are better switches, but they are much more expensive. 

 

The Gateron family of key switches has colors as well. However, these colors are a little different from others. The Gateron switches are:

 

  • Gateron Reds (Linear)
  • Gateron Blues (Clicky)
  • Gateron Browns (Tactile)
  • Gateron Yellows (Linear)
  • Gateron Green (Clicky)
  • Gateron Black (Linear)
  • Gateron White (Linear)

 

Ultimate Gateron Switches Typing Sound Test: Red, Blue, Brown, White, Yellow, Black, Green

Key Switch Types

As you can see, Gateron has many options for their switches. Each has a different type of feeling between them. Linear, clicky, and tactile. Each type of key switch has benefits for certain things you will be using that keyboard for.

 

Linear switches are my personal favorite. This key switch does not have a bump when you press it. It just goes down and activates very smoothly. This switch is very nice for custom keyboard builds, it can have a nice feeling and sound with it. Linear switches are good all-around switches. They can be used in the office, gaming, and just typing and they work well for all three of those.

 

The next switch on the list is the clicky switches. These switches are pretty self-explanatory. They are extremely clicky switches and have a big bump when you press them down. I own a keyboard with blue switches which are clicky and they are nice for typing. Typing is about the only thing that works well with this kind of switch, it is not ideal for gaming or office work. Just because of how loud it is.

 

The final switch to talk about is the Tactile. I’d say that tactiles are the most popular kind of switch because they are in between clicky and linear. They have a small bump, and they are not very loud. This switch is also a good all-rounder for typing, gaming, and office work.

 

Conclusion

As I’ve said, Gaterons killed it on their price and the quality of their switches. I vote Gateron to be the budget kind of keyboard switch. Every switch is valued the same, at only 10$. This 10$ gets you 35 switches, bringing the price per switch to only 28 cents per switch, which is amazing. Long story short, if you are in the market for a keyboard, I highly recommend the Gateron switches. Especially if you are looking for a cheap custom build that will last you a long time and not break the bank.

 

Taking a Look Back at Superbowl III

Taking a Look Back at Superbowl III

Taking a Look Back

It has been 52 years since the Jets won Super Bowl III back in 1969. Unfortunately, it has also been 52 years since they have even participated in the Super Bowl as well. The New York Jets have had a rough NFL career. They aren’t considered a good team, and it’s been a very long time since they have made a memorable occurrence throughout NFL history. Instead of focusing on the losses, and what could have been, let’s take a look at the most memorable thing that ever happened to the New York Jets.

In 1969, Super Bowl III took place in the Orange Bowl stadium. This stadium was located in Miami Florida. The Orange Bowl stadium was built in 1937. Unfortunately, the Orange Bowl stadium was demolished in 2008 where many memorable events took place, such as Super Bowl III.

The Baltimore Colts

Back in 1953, a man named Carol Rosenbloom got the rights to make an NFL team for the city of Baltimore. During their first few seasons as a team, they didn’t play too well. In 1958, the Baltimore Colts won their first NFL championship. The next year, they followed up with another NFL championship win. They ended up winning just one more NFL championship 9 years later. This led the Baltimore Colts to face the New York Jets in the third-ever Super Bowl in NFL history.

The Game Begins

Let the kickoff begin. It was 3:05 PM (ET), and Super Bowl III had officially begun. Keep in mind that the Colts during this time were much better than the Jets. So obviously the majority of the people in the crowd believed that the colts would sweep the Jets. “The game, played on January 12, 1969, at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, is regarded as one of the greatest upsets in American sports history.” According to SportsTeamHistory.

In the first quarter, no team scored. In the second quarter, the Jets needed to score then if they even wanted a chance to win. Luckily for them, they got it. The first touchdown of the game! Following the second quarter, the Jets scored once again at the beginning of the third quarter but missed the field goal. The Colts at this point were very stressed about losing to a team like the Jets. Once the fourth quarter rolled around, the Colts scored a touchdown. The Jets needed to finish this. Then, they kicked a final field goal to end it.

The Jets played extremely well this Superbowl, leading them to be able to defeat the Baltimore Colts. The Jets at this time were AFL Champions, but the Colts were NFL Champions. The final score of this game was 16-7. This was the very first time an AFL team won the Superbowl. This game made the football history books.
