Amazon Basics PC Programmable Gaming Mouse , Adjustable 12,000 DPI, Weight Tuning

I was going to say this was a great mouse for the money, but honestly its just a great mouse. I had a top end mouse that cost over $150(im not going to name it here). Anyways long story short i spilled a drink on it and it broke, so i bought this mouse as a temporary mouse until i could get something better. AND WOW! This mouse blew me away, ive had it over a year now and let me just say, the buttons are great, the feel good when you click them, in great locations, and easily programmable. Theres a perfect amount to utilize your most important keys, without having too many. With this i can keep my fingers on aswd while playing which i really like. The mouse feels great in my hand, fits like a glove. It tracks just as good as any mouse ive used and you can adjust the dpi with a pre-programmed button on the mouse(it even has a little bar to let you know what its currently set to). It looks awesome, the rgb lights are not overkill but instead placed in a way to make the mouse look super cool while still looking sleek and professional. The adjustable weight is the best ive seen with 5 individual weights to allow you to obtain the perfect weight depending on your preferences, the scroll wheel feels amazing, its grippy and has a noticeable divot( probably not the best word but i dont know how to describe it) where when you spin it, you notice when it passes each 1/8th turn making fine point adjustments really easy, and lastly the cord is long, strong, and has held up to abuse. I gladly give this mouse 5 stars and would HIGHLY reccomend buying it before buying a more expensive mouse. I wish i had sooner!

I've never, till now, had a mouse that cost more than 30. I've had over the past few years gotten some cheaper "gaming" mice that did well, but had no staying power. So far (4 months) This mouse has been the best mouse I've ever had. The buttons are easy to use and remap, the rgb is subtle and nice. My biggest complaint is the size, I wish it was just a bit larger and heavier, not much but just a bit. I've used the mouse on rage 2, borderlands 3, outer worlds, assassin's creed origins, among others and has performed awesomely. One feature I love is the auto-dpi system. It has worked great with most things on my computer (there's been some older games I had to set the dpi , and for some reason my 16 yo daughter doesn't like it). The scroll wheel is tactile and rolls nicely and the software is easy to use. As long as the mouse has some longevity (at this price point I would be elated if it last another 2 years or so) I'll definitely get it again.

I guess I have to get used to this mouse since it's so different from my Logitech G5 that didn't need software to work very well and was built much better than this Amazon Basic version. I'll update my review after a few weeks and see if I feel different about this mouse, but right now I wish I had bought the Crucial for $60 that has a cast aluminum bottom and the sniper button or the Crucial with the optional thumb rests. As things are right now I'm not very happy with it and the DPI settings being changed by the top two left side buttons is a bad ergonomic choice. I'll end up buying a better mouse and having this as my backup since my G5 laser mouse from 2004 keeps acting very odd and was locking up my desktop. So for now this is a 3 star mouse that feels very cheap to me but I'll see how I feel after I try it out for several weeks. Note: 6-9-19 I'm getting used to the mouse now and it's not a bad mouse at all. It's odd that people can get so used to a good mouse and find any others pretty repulsive when first being used. I think this is a very good mouse with a few complaints. I don't like the feel of the thumb side or the right side as they are. If the manf. placed some rubber grip that my old G5 Laser mouse had this would be a 4 1/2 star mouse. However, this cost me $50 with 2 day shipping and that price is pretty high for any mouse in my opinion. That said this mouse does move very well, has a pretty nice button layout with 2 side buttons and a third hot button that can be used for games like C.O.D. or other F.P.S. type games. All new mice have the silly lighting effects that I could do without but the Amazon software seems to work pretty well. I'm new to creating profiles with a mouse, although I have created many for my flight sims with my X-52 F.C.S. or H.O.T.A.S.system. I love my X-52 when used with any Flight simulator games and it's very old for computer devices. The X-52 is so good that Logitech bought them out and now sell the X-52 and the X-52 Pro. The X-52 is $150 and the X-52 Pro is $200. I like the look of the X-52 Pro and may buy it over the same X-52 I have been using. O.K. this is a mouse review and not a F.C.S. review but for me the two go hand to hand. The Amazon Basic brand has some good products and their mouse is pretty darn good. Most mice, including the Logitech G5 are all plastic and can't be dropped without risk of damage as well as having a cheap feel to all the buttons. I really hope this mouse lasts since I don't like dropping $50 on a Optical mouse of any kind. I still think I will buy the Crucial mouse with it's nice die cast aluminum base that the other mice don't have. I like the red side button on their $50 mouse (Not including shipping and tax) so it's really a $60 mouse but seems really well built. I find myself finally wanting a mechanical keyboard again after a horrible experience with the TT Sport keyboard and had to return it 4 times because it was mistyping. I eventually got a full refund and started using the Logitech K120 keyboard that cost $15 or so and I really like the feel this cheap keyboard has. They just seem to feel better to me and I love the price point. However, I do plan on buying the A.B. mechanical keyboard since it gets great reviews and does not cost $100+. I think the A.B. mechanical keyboard is worth a shot since it's reviews are so great and it will match my A.B. mouse really well. O.K. sorry about the long review that was not just based on the A.B. mouse I purchased but a few other items as well. I now would give the mouse a solid 4 star review if it holds up well. However, if this mouse's plastic build and plastic buttons do not hold up the ratings will change quickly! So far so good with the $50 A.B. mouse and you will get used to it after a week or so. so I changed my rating to 4 stars at this point and feel like this may be a great mouse if as I said it hold up well for at least a year. Keep in mind my G5 laser mouse lasted for over 10 years before it began to have button sticking issues that could lock up my Win 7 Pro 64 bit O/S. So this and the A.B. mechanical keyboard will be a good match and I'll buy the new keyboard in July to see if the mechanical keyboards are really worth using?

Amazon basics has surprised and delighted me time and time again. In the case of this basic gaming mouse, it did not. I selected it as a back up and as one that has more than two buttons on the side yet fewer than 12. Accustomed to my Naga, which imo has excellent side buttons with excellent placement, fair top button quality with good contour, and essential side to side middle button function with ok rolling mechanism, it just gets poor across the board. For $35 I thought I was going to get the amazon basics option in this product and that is not what this was. Their credit remains good with me overall and I will continue to monitor future offers like this one.

I did have to return the first one, the LMB was constantly sticking in the "clicked" position at random times. Was able to return with no issues and a new one was sent out right away. For gamers, with the weighted discs you can have a good heafty mouse or very light, tracking is great, no lag, switching DPI is nice, although I tend to stick at one DPI setting for most applications, but you can change on the fly. Mainly though, hats off to the software suite that also works with the gaming keyboard. The software ability to set 3 different profiles is handy. sync ability with the keyboard for lighting is nice, I haven't engaged in all the buttons, I'm mainly a LMB/RMB/CMB/Wheel person, however, the advantage of the software suite is to assign just about any key command to the mouse buttons, even RMB/LMB are programmable. Solid item, good quality, and from AmazonBasic collection. This is a great mouse (and keyboard if you get it)

TL:DR A generally competent budget G502 knock off that doesn’t threaten the original. The Basics: G502 shape, right handed ergo, weight customization from approx 105-125g, sensor not advertised but believed to be a 3328 (?). 50M omrons, metal scroll. Lightweight software with macro support, RGB. Plastic all over. Link below for SA, but (spoiler alert) this is not a recommended product. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Programmable-Gaming-Adjustable-Weight/dp/B07CM7N7TG/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=amazon+basics+multicolor+gaming+mouse&qid=1579551624&sr=8-3 The Good: -Shape: (A) While it follows the general G502 shape, it is slightly taller and wider in the middle. If looking for something a larger than the G502 but with the same basic shape, this is it. Good for medium/large palm and medium fingertip or medium/large claw. -Software: (A) Small, 12mb simple reliable. Boots quickly. CD included or easy download. Multiple languages supported. -Mouse Feet: (B) Glide well, slicker than the G502 while being a few welcome grams lighter. -Primary Clicks: (B) Light and have nice comfort grooves. Tactility is good but somehow feel a little cheap compared to Logitech’s offerings, likely due to lack of tensioning. -Sensor Implementation: (A) Placement is very forward, liftoff distance is low. 1600 DPI feels closer to 2000 because of this, but it feels more stable in practice than 2000 would on a mouse with the sensor farther back. (Forward sensor placement means more control for fingertip players due to a larger wrist pivot arc) -Cost: Variable, but a decent value if/when on sale for $20. -Weight/Customization: (B-) In case you want to make this a brick, you can make it a brick. Always nice to have the option. Weight scale is MIA, but 105-125g is the approximate range on offer based on feel. The Middling: -Braided Cable (C) Average stiffness. No complaints but far from outstanding. -RGB: (B-) Colors have good depth and decent transitions, but logo is uninspired and color options are limited. Looks nice overall. -Materials: (C-) Textured plastic everywhere. Grip is not issue due to shape, but the thumb area in particular feels flat and cheap despite being comfy overall. - Button Placement (C+) M6 and M7 lie adjacent to the left click as with the G502, but the left click is wider meaning the index finger has father to travel to get to the scroll or M6/M7. Sniper button is also father forward than on the G502. Some may like this, especially if they have larger hands or palm more aggressively. I prefer the placement of the G502 as a medium fingertipper, but placement here is still good. -Thumb Buttons (C) They lack the tension and tactility of the G502. Light actuation force required. I would have preferred flat buttons to the angled ones here. There is also slight pre and post travel on them. That said, they are objectively decent to good overall with good tactility and placement. -Sensor: (B) The sensor here was first thought to be the 3360. It isn’t. Apparently (I’m going off of word of mouth here) it is a 3328. Specs on the sensor are hard to find and it definitely says “budget sensor.” That said, LOD was low, no accel/angle snapping was evident in my limited play and I could not get it to spin out. For the price range, anyone can get a better sensor in a variety of other mice. No complaints in game, but the sensor is a yellow light and hardly outstanding at the price point. (Only tested on dark cloth btw.) The Bad: -Customization: (C) DPI settings are limited to a handful of presets, even using software. I like to play at 1600-2000 but the next step up available in the software after 1600 is 2400 with no ability to set anything in between. This is a significant downer personally since this is where I like to tweak from one mouse to the next. The sniper button is matched to a “smart DPI” (400 DPI iirc) by default-software needed to map to anything more useful. DPI light is blue only with no option to change the color. -Scroll: (C-) Very little tactility between scroll steps. Scroll resistance is medium, but with a “gummy” scrolling sensation. Not good for FPS and not really that pleasant for browsing either. -Build Quality: (C-) No rattles, but when squeezing the mouse just aft of the sniper button there is enough flex to actuate the sniper button. I didn’t have any issues in game, and I doubt most people will, but the pressure required is relatively low and it is a clear knock on build quality. Combined with the hollow primary clicks and mushy scroll, I have concerns... -After several weeks of use (mainly at work in the office) the M1 and M2 plastic seem to absorb skin oils. Even with repeated attempts at cleaning, the look is still smeared. For the record, I am not a groady but some people who eat and game/work will definitely make this mouse look awful in short order. The Conclusion: Meh. As forgettable as its generic throwaway name. How low-effort you gotta be to go through all the bother of making a mouse and not giving it a proper name? Even Redragon does that! The "ABPGM" is a slightly lighter/larger G502 knock off with some cost cuts for build quality, materials, infinite scroll and sensor involved. No infinite scroll, no tilt scroll and no pleasant rubber grips here. Despite not being as premium as the G502 in terms of tactility or materials, the mouse is a good value for $20 I got it for. The sensor is fine but feels like a cost-cutting move, logical or not. In-game performance level was functionally identical to the G502 and the forward sensor placement is good for fingertip. It actually beats the G502 shape-wise for larger hands that want more/wider palm support. It also has the advantage of packing most of the G502s function into a lighter package, which is very much appreciated. At $20, the bang for the buck is just good enough that even though it is obviously “a poor man’s G502,” it does enough to escape the “total garbage” label – it’s not a bad mouse. That said, even at $20, you’re better off with something else and worth spending a little more. At $35 right now you can get a G502SE. I recommend staying away and go for better similar mouse like the G502SE, Basilisk or M65 Elite. Nit-Noid Rating: 7.9 Bang for 20 Bucks: B- Bang for $40 Bucks: C-

The mouse is fine for what it is and the removable weights are this price point is an awesome feature. The mouse itself however felt cheap and unresponsive, giving me numerous errors with tracking and accuracy, such as clicks not registering and and the mouse cursor completely disappearing when it stopped registering. Considering the whole reason I got it was for gaming on my laptop, it’s hard to recommend this as a gaming mouse. The features at the price point are outstanding but it feels like this was accomplished with sub-par build quality. I returned it and got a Hyper X. Haven’t had a single issue since.

First thing's first. This is a great mouse!!! Forget about Razer and others. This one has a lower price but the same quality. It has a comfortable grip which fits my hand perfectly. I simply just love it. It has a great amount of weight so it works for both my office work and my gaming. The speed adjustment is very useful. The most important thing is, it works on my Mac. I had other mouses which just don't work. This is perfect. To wrap it up, it's just good.
