There are a lot of options to consider when choosing a gaming mouse these days – and you should know that we’ve put together a detailed guide to some of the best mice available.That said, not everyone needs the latest and greatest gaming peripherals, which makes current slightly older gaming peripherals available at discounts Logitech G Pro X Ultralight Everything is more appealing. The first-generation mouse is currently on sale for an all-time low of $99.99 at Best Buy (a $60 discount), and the black version is on sale at Amazon for $109.95 (a discount of about $50).
Logitech’s original G Pro X Superlight was a step-down version of Logitech’s popular G Pro Wireless. It’s not the company’s most advanced mouse (i.e. the newer Superlight 2), but the right-handed mouse is still a great choice for work and play, with a fast Hero 25,600 DPI sensor and thumb buttons on the left edge of the mouse. I really like its LED light and long-lasting battery, as well as its sleek matte textured design that eschews the honeycomb hole pattern that many ultralight mice use to save weight. Even without them, the OG Superlight weighs just 63 grams, and you can save an extra 3 grams if you remove the bottom magnetic plate covering the included 2.4GHz USB receiver.
The most annoying drawback is that the previous generation Superlight relied on Micro USB for charging (boo), while the new model opts for a simpler USB-C connector. The latest version also features a 4kHz response rate and a new Hero 2 sensor aimed at the esports crowd, but it’s also more expensive at $159.
Despite the recent launch of Sony’s PlayStation Portal, the Backbone One remains our favorite mobile controller for those looking to play games on their smartphones, including cloud-based gaming, mobile gaming, and remote gaming streaming Playstation games. The original model supports the iPhone 14 and older Lightning-based phones, while the newer USB-C version can pair with an iPhone 15 or Android device. The second-generation model comes with an updated D-pad and a magnetic adapter that allows you to use it with a compatible case; however, both versions are designed to give your phone more comfortable physical controls and use 3.5mm audio jack for wired headphones. Neither product can compete with modern gamepads like Sony’s DualSense in terms of overall feel, but the standard controls are a huge improvement over gaming with a clunky touchscreen, especially when precision is crucial.
