Best Gaming Mouse Under 5000 In India (April 2024)

On the top of our list sits the Logitech G502 Hero, one of the oldest mice on our list. The good part about this mouse is that it’s been around four years since its first launch in the market, and Logitech has constantly kept updating it according to market standards.

The new Hero 25K processor can track at a max speed of 400 inches per second and a max acceleration of 40 Gs. This sensor also offers a max DPI of 25,600 DPI, which, if you ask me, is not needed but is loved by the general public. It weighs only 121 grams, making it heavier as numerous ultra-light-weight mice are now flooding the industry.

Many gamers love to customize their mouse’s weight, which the Logitech G502 takes good care of. You will get an additional 18 grams of weight to add to the mouse’s specific locations to make it weigh heavier.

The Logitech G502 Hero is very well built and has an angular design that not only gives a good look to the mouse but is also ergonomically designed, making it comfortable for long-hour usage. The mouse also has rubber grippings on the sides, making it feel premium and adding a good amount of grip.

Now, coming to the performance aspect of the mouse, it has 12 programmable buttons that can easily be programmed using its compatible software. The Hero processor is a well-known sensor that offers excellent in-game performance.

The mouse has 12 buttons, which you may think could be confusing, but believe me, they are very well-placed and can be easily reached without any hassles.

One of the other cool highlights of the mouse is its scroll wheel. It has a metal scroll wheel that you can use in two different ways. With a single switch, it can become a freewheel and keep on scrolling freely. When you switch back, it becomes the old tactile scroll wheel that gives the tactile feel like any other scroll wheel. This quick switch comes in handy within the gameplay.

The mouse uses the Logitech G-Hub as its compatible software and is one of the most advanced software on the market right now. It has a huge amount of customization options and works flawlessly.

This mouse is surely one of the best gaming mice that has improved over time and has now evolved to a level you can call the perfect mouse for gaming.

Cooler Master is not a new brand in the gaming industry and is quite established in the market now. They make a lot of gaming peripherals that most gamers out there use and trust. One such gaming essential is the Cooler Master MM711 that I have recently reviewed, and believe me, it quickly became one of my favorite gaming mice I have used to date. For more info, please check our Cooler Master MM711 detail review.

The biggest highlight of this mouse is its weight. It’s not just light; it’s ultra-light and weighs 60 grams, which makes you addicted to it after a few gaming sessions. It has a honeycomb design over its body, which is one of the reasons why the Cooler Master has managed to make it this lightweight.

Now, coming on to the other highlights, this mouse uses the PixArt PMW3389 optical sensor, which sits in the top three positions of the best optical gaming sensors. This sensor is paired with the 32-bit ARM CORTEX M0+ processor and 512 KB onboard memory, saving up to 7 preset DPI modes, maxing up to 16,000 DPI.

The sensor can offer a maximum tracking speed of 400 inches per second and a max acceleration of 50Gs. It also offers a max polling rate of 1000 Hz, which can be altered using compatible software. It has a lift-off distance of less than 2 mm, which is another good thing to boast about.

Talking about the software, the MM711 is compatible with the Cooler Master MasterPlus+, which offers plenty of customization options, including RGB customizations.

The mouse has a total of 6 programmable buttons that can be easily programmed using the same compatible software. It uses Omron switches for the main click buttons, which are well-known for their satisfying sound and feel.

Overall, the MM711 is an optimal choice for people who are looking for a gaming mouse with a lightweight body and an excellent gaming sensor. It follows the trend with the honeycomb design, and Cooler Master has even added dust and spill-resistant coating for people who might be concerned with the exposed insides.

The HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro is our third choice on the list of best gaming mouse under 5000 Rs. HyperX is a well-known brand, especially in the gaming headset market. Gamers love these headsets, and I have had my hands on some as well, and the experience was pretty good.

Now, coming on to the mouse, the HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro uses a Pixart 3389 optical sensor, the same sensor that the Cooler Master MM711 we just discussed above. It offers the same max acceleration of 50Gs while the polling rate stays at 1000 Hz, which can be customized using its compatible software. By default, it gives 3 DPI presets at 800, 1600 & 3200 DPI, which you can max up to 16,000 DPI using the compatible software.

One thing that this mouse excels at is its built quality. The mouse feels very durable and solid in the hands. It weighs about 95 grams, which could not be considered lightweight, but the weight is light enough not to weigh you down. It uses Omron switches for the main switches, which are known to improve your clicking experience. If you flip the mouse, you will see some big PTFE feet that help glide on most mousepads easily.

It is a nicely built mouse with all the buttons placed in a good spot, making them easy to reach and use. You will notice that this mouse follows an ambidextrous design with the perfect shape that any of your hands can use, although you need to know that the side buttons are only placed on the left side.

The mouse has six programmable buttons, which can be easily programmed using its compatible software. Talking about the software, Pulsefire Surge uses the NGenuity software, which some people are not big fans of. Still, I think it’s decent software with all the necessary customization options.

Since this is a HyperX mouse, you will surely get to see some nice RGB work in it. An RGB strip encircles the whole mouse and adds a nice touch. This RGB scheme with the good build of the mouse gives a nice and premium feel to it, making it one of the best-looking gaming mice in the segment.

Coming on to the next mice on our list, the SteelSeries Rival 5. Steelseries is a Denmark-based brand popular among the gaming community for its good quality gaming-centered products like gaming keyboards, mice, and headphones.

This mouse’s main highlight is that it has nine programmable buttons that can be programmed independently. SteelSeries says this mouse is a perfect solution for players who play multiple game types like MOBA, RPG, FPS, Battle Royale, and FPS.

Now, the part I fell in love with was its build quality. The mouse is well-built and has a matte plastic finish, giving it a premium feel. It also has a weight that makes it an adequately lightweight mouse. It weighs only 85 grams, and yes, it is not the lightest mouse out there on the market, but this weight will probably not weigh you down.

The mouse is designed for right-handed users and has an ergonomic shape, making it comfortable for long hours. As I mentioned, it has a matte plastic finish, which also helps grip the mouse. The size of the mouse is a little on the bigger side, and since I have medium-sized hands, it perfectly fits my hand, and I think it would be good for people with medium to large-sized hands. Although you have small hands, you may find them uncomfortable.

I can’t forget to mention that the side buttons are very well-placed and easily accessible. One of the buttons on the side is a big double-sided switch that can be activated by clicking up and down. All the clicks work very well and offer that satisfying clicky feel.

Now, coming to its sensor, SteelSeries has closely worked with PixArt, custom-designed it, and named it the TrueMove Air sensor. This sensor works very similarly to the PixArt PAW3335 and offers a maximum tracking speed of 400 inches per second. It offers a max polling rate of 1000 Hz and low latency.

You can easily customize this mouse using its compatible software, including setting DPI modes, RGB lights, buttons, and more. Overall, the mouse is a pretty good choice for people who play multiple formats of games or want a good and comfortable gaming mouse with a couple of extra buttons.

The next gaming mouse on our list of best gaming mice under 5000 Rs comes from a brand that I can undoubtedly say is one of the gamer’s favorite brands. It is not that old brand compared to other brands in the market, but it surely has made a big name for itself. The same goes for the Razer Viper Mini. It is one of the mice that always manages to make its name in the list of the best gaming mouse in its price segment.

The most highlighted feature of the mouse is its ultra-lightweight body. The mouse follows the traditional design format without using the honeycomb design and yet manages to keep its weight at only 61 grams. Design-wise, it follows the footsteps of its bigger and costlier sibling, the Razer Viper, but Razer has made some noticeable changes to bring down the costs to fit our list.

It uses the Razer Optical mouse switches, which offer a good clicky feel, and Razer promises that it can last for up to 50 million clicks. Coming to its body size, the Viper Mini is just what the name suggests: mini. It’s very small and lightweight and hence may not suit all sorts of users. THIS GOES FOR ME since I have medium-sized hands, and people with smaller hands would also love these. Although you have huge hands, you may find this mouse a bit uncomfortable to use.

The mouse is loaded with a PixArt PMW-3359 sensor, which is not from the top Pixart lineup, but the performance is good enough for its price segment. It has a low click latency and offers a max polling rate of 1000 Hz. It can track up to the max speed of 300 inches per second. Meanwhile, it can track the max acceleration of 35 Gs. Its six programmable buttons can be easily customized using its compatible software and many other customization options.

Another good thing that I like about the mouse is its 1.9-meter-long braided cable. Razer likes to call it Speedflex cable is super flexible and removes any chances of drags or friction. Overall it is a pretty good package for people with small-sized to medium-sized hands who need a mouse that performs well.

Moving on to our next mouse, we have a wireless mouse from SteelSeries, the SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless. Even though this mouse sounds similar to the SteelSeries Rival 3, it is more than just the wireless version of it. It has an updated sensor, which brings in some major performance upgrades.

This mouse offers dual connectivity options via gaming-grade 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.0. The good part is that the 2.4 GHz uses Quantum 2.0 technology, which makes it pretty similar to a wired mouse regarding latency.

It uses a TrueMove Air optical gaming sensor, which offers pretty much similar performance to the PixArt 3369, considered one of the flawless sensors. This sensor provides ultra-low latency, which is pretty impressive for a wireless mouse.

It can track at a maximum speed of 400 inches per second and a max acceleration of 40 Gs. It offers a polling rate of 1000 Hz and a max DPI of up to 18,000 DPI, which can be changed using compatible software.

Another part that I can’t skip is its battery life; SteelSeries says that this mouse can last for about 400+ hours, which is a huge number for a wireless mouse. Although you will need to use it on Bluetooth or high-efficiency mode to reach that, the number is still big enough to talk about.

The mouse weighs about 106 grams with both batteries installed, making it a decently weighted mouse. The weight is good enough not to burden you and yet light enough to let you enjoy your game. If weight is an issue for you, you can even choose to remove one battery that will drop the weight to 96 grams.

The mouse also has excellent build quality and a matte coating, giving it a good premium look. The mouse is also comfortable to hold, and as I told you already, I have medium-sized hands, so I found it very convenient to use.

Another SteelSeries mouse that you can even call an ancient mouse as it was originally launched in 2009 and has gotten better with time. The good thing about it is that SteelSeries has worked on it closely for several years and upgraded it with time, making the hardware match the newer standards. It is an ambidextrous mouse, which means either-handed players could use this mouse.

Being ambidextrous also means that this mouse has buttons on both sides, giving it a total of 8 buttons that can be customized using its compatible software. It also has an onboard memory that can save up to 5 DPI profiles, polling rate, and more directly on the mouse, so you won’t need to customize it every time you plug it into a new computer. This new Sensei Ten has a matte surface coating that previously used to be metallic with the original Sensei Ten.

The mouse has a weight that can be said to be lightweight as it weighs about 92 grams, which is not very lightweight but not heavy either. SteelSeries has managed to keep the weight down without creating a bunch of holes in the body, which I consider a good thing.

The mouse uses a TrueMove Pro sensor, which is a good sensor that can track up to a max speed of 400 inches per second while the max acceleration is at 40 Gs. It has a max polling rate of 1000 Hz and offers a max DPI of 18,000, which can be changed using its compatible software.

The TrueMove Pro also introduces a new feature that is called ‘Tilt Tracking’, which helps in keeping the tracking consistent and error-free when you are trying to reposition your mouse during your intense gameplay, which is a good thing as I often find myself in a situation when repositioning cost me a whole game.

Overall, the SteelSeries Sensei Ten is a pretty good ambidextrous gaming mouse with a good sensor with impressive performance. This mouse is also a good choice for left-handed players who often miss out on a good gaming mouse because it is only meant for right-handed players.

The Logitech G304 is another best wireless gaming mouse under 5000 Rs. If you are looking for an affordable wireless gaming mouse from a well-known brand like Logitech, your search ends here. The Logitech G304 is their G Series’s most affordable wireless gaming mouse and uses Bluetooth technology to work with your computer.

The mouse is somewhat lightweight and weighs around 100 grams, which I would like to call a perfectly balanced weight for any gaming mouse. It follows minimal design language and good build quality, which I prefer over the latest generation of mice with plenty of holes to make them lightweight.

The G304 uses a single AA battery to power itself up, and Logitech can last for up to 250 hours. It also has a Lightspeed USB receiver placed inside the battery compartment, which helps the mouse to offer a wired-like performance.

Logitech has packed a total of 6 programmable buttons along with the HERO Sensor with this mouse. The sensor can track at the max speed of 400 inches per second and max acceleration of 40 Gs. It also offers a max polling rate of 1000 Hz. You can easily customize the buttons and other options like polling rate and DPI modes using the Logitech G Hub software that is compatible with this mouse.

The one part that I loved is that it has an LED indicator placed right below the DPI switch, which lets you know which DPI mode you are on, as most of the time, you are just clueless about what DPI mode you are on until you flick your mouse.

Overall, the Logitech G304 Lightspeed Wireless is a good wireless gaming mouse with a good, trustable sensor that can perform well in all situations.
