Well since somehow, after 6 months, my HyperX PulseFire Surge broke. It's springs from the left and right clicks just gave up and now it's only double clicking most of the time. Well besides that, I've somehow also forgot from where did I bought it. Anyway, I'm looking to buy a new mouse, it doesn't need to be brand now(like recent years). It doesn't need to be special, just to be a good competitive mouse and under 200 ron ( under 40 euros ). Also I'm a palm gripper and my had is something like 10*18. I found the M3 to be a interesting one so if you can recommand this one or just something else, I would love that.
Best regards, Artur
 
There is the Ajazz AJ310, which is basically a cheaper Model O with a better sensor. I feel like it's a halfway palm / claw grip design though. Pretty cheap, should be around 20-30. I don't know which options are available in where you live however.

Yeah, I don't think it is. I'm from Romania so if it's not mainstream, it's not here.
 
Might be worth listing couple sites you shop from.

Also, the prices are in romanian so just search for under 200 or 180
 

 

This is a little over the budget. And I don't really like the feel of very light mices.
 
Have you checked A4Tech offerings in that segment? They have decent gaming mice, like Bloody Blazing(aka AL90, A9800 laser sensor 8200dpi, optical switches and scroll wheel). Basically a no-brainer low-budget option in my region. Ergonomics is the same as your previous mouse, but has a much grippier surface.
Most of our broke students and budget-restricted kids settle on Bloody V3MA or P93. The only thing that sucks about A4Tech is their shitty software, but if you aren't obsessed with macros and constantly tweaking profiles, then you only need to relive through this nightmare once. Otherwise - they have some solid hardware.
Alternatively you could try Razer Deathadder or the newer Logitech G102.
 
Here, a Zowie clone that gets to higher DPI and another Zowie in a different clothing that probably came out of the same OEM:



I wouldn't bother with some other stuff like Razer or A4 personally.
 
I have a GB gaming mouse - Gigabyte GM-M8000X. It's SW was abandoned by GB and no longer works on Win 10. At least not for me. I had to solder some wire to make the wheel work again. Otherwise feature wise and size wise was very good.

I am also intending to buy a new one in the middle of NOV. I need a bigger mouse and i am hoping Hero G502 will get a decent discount.

But from your experience and mine - it seems all peripheral manufacturers are trying to make us thing of them as consumables. All new products seems to have similar defects after a while or they force replacement with new SW every generation. I know that G502 might have issues also according to quick Google search. Logitech CEO actually complained that their products used to be too reliable so people did not replace according to Linus. I had a Logitech 518 type mouse with a wheel that broke after 3-ish years. It was my first premium peripheral i bought after only using A4 mice that never seem to break.

So do some google and then use it for 6 months again :).
 
Linus is not a good source, Logitech mice used to be pretty reliable back in the old days. By that, I mean really old days. They still are actually compared to a bunch of stuff. You can get duds but people have gotten duds a lot more from Razer before they upped their reliability.
