Prime Day is a great time to pick up new tech — but instead of dropping a ton on a RAM bundle, why not buy something a little more wallet-friendly, such as a new gaming mouse? This is a great time to pick up a new gaming mouse, as a lot of companies released new versions that were more like updates last year. You can now find several great gaming mice on sale — they may not be the absolute newest versions on the market, but they'll still get you that extra edge.
Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro

Razer recently launched its DeathAdder V4 Pro, which has the same shape and size as the DeathAdder V3 Pro, because the shape and size of the DeathAdder V3 Pro were basically perfect. This lightweight wireless gaming mouse weighs just 2.22 ounces (63g) and features five programmable buttons and up to 90 hours of battery life over 2.4GHz wireless (with a 1,000 Hz polling rate).
It sports Razer's Focus Pro 30K optical sensor and works with Razer's HyperPolling Wireless Dongle (sold separately) to achieve a wireless polling rate of up to 8,000 Hz (at the expense of battery life, of course). The DeathAdder V4 Pro is also excellent, but the V3 Pro is still one of our favorites — and it's currently on sale for just $66.49 at Walmart, which is $83.50 off its MSRP of $149.99 and the lowest we've seen it at yet.

Razer Basilisk V3 Pro

Another one of our favorite Razer gaming mice is also on sale: the Basilisk V3 Pro, which is part of Razer's flagship Basilisk lineup. The Basilisk V3 Pro isn't as performance-focused as the DeathAdder V3 Pro — this ergonomically-contoured wireless gaming mouse also features Razer's Focus Pro 30K optical sensor, which has a maximum sensitivity of 30,000 DPI and a maximum speed of 750 IPS, and can handle up to 70G's of force. It has 11 programmable buttons and 13 zones of bright, customizable RGB lighting, and it weighs 3.95 ounces (112g).
Like the DeathAdder V3 Pro, this mouse also works with Razer's HyperPolling Wireless Dongle (sold separately) to get up to an 8,000 Hz wireless polling rate; it's also compatible with Razer's Mouse Dock Pro (sold separately), which integrates the HyperPolling Wireless Dongle and also allows for wireless charging (and also features 8 zones of customizable RGB lighting, because why not).
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2

If you're looking for something ultra-light, well, it's in the name: the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 is a pseudo-ambidextrous ultra-lightweight mouse weighing just 2.12 ounces (60g) and designed for those who need speed above all else. It comes in three colors: black, white, and Logitech's bright magenta rose color (that I happen to love).
The Pro X Superlight 2 has Logitech's Hero 2 optical sensor, which has a maximum sensitivity of 32,000 DPI and a maximum speed of 500 IPS, and can handle up to 40G's of force. It has five programmable buttons; its primary buttons feature Logitech's Lightforce hybrid optical/mechanical switches, which can actuate optically (for the lowest latency) and mechanically (for saving power).

Corsair Scimitar Elite SE Wireless

Maybe ultralight and stripped-down gaming mice aren't your thing. If you're looking for a mouse with all the buttons, Corsair's newest Scimitar Elite SE Wireless is a good option, and it's currently on sale for 50% off at Best Buy — you can pick it up for just $69.99, which is 50% off its original MSRP of $139.99. That's $5 cheaper than it was last Black Friday, too.
The Scimitar Elite SE Wireless features 16 programmable buttons, 12 of which are on its movable side panel — you can move the side panel forward or backward, depending on your hand size and what's most comfortable for you. It sports Corsair's Marksman S 33K optical sensor, which has a maximum sensitivity of 33,000 DPI and a maximum speed of 750 IPS, and can handle up to 50G's of force. It weighs 4.02 ounces (114g), but let's face it — if you're looking for a mouse with 16 programmable buttons, weight is not your top priority. The Scimitar Elite SE Wireless also features a pretty solid battery life of 150 hours over its 2.4GHz wireless connection, which means you'll only have to charge it every couple of weeks (and that's if you're a serious gamer).

HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro

If you're looking for something modular, HyperX's Pulsefire Saga Pro is a wireless gaming mouse with just a couple of modular options (plus the ability to print your own pieces, coming soon). This lightweight gaming mouse also features five programmable buttons and up to a 4,000 Hz wireless polling rate, and it's currently on sale at HyperX for 79.99 — $40 off its MSRP of $119.99.
The Pulsefire Saga Pro sports HyperX's 26K sensor, which has a maximum sensitivity of 26,000 DPI and a maximum speed of 650 IPS, and can handle up to 50G's of force. This is the same sensor we've seen in HyperX's mice for a couple of years now — it's a solid sensor in terms of speed and accuracy, but it might not be for you if you're looking for the latest and greatest.
However, if you're just looking for lightweight modularity, the Pulsefire Saga Pro is where it's at: this mouse comes with two mouse humps, two sets of primary mouse buttons, and two sets of side buttons, and it implements its modularity well — everything fits together nicely and feels sturdy, and we had no issues with creaking or parts moving around in our testing. All configurations will give you a weight of 2.54 ounces (72g) — lightweight, but not quite as light as the Pathfinder.
