Best gaming mouse under Rs 2,000 in India
1. Logitech G102 Lightsync
The G102 is the default recommendation for a reason. It is light, symmetrical, works for both hands and has Logitech’s G Hub software for DPI and RGB. Its MRP is Rs 1,995.

- DPI: 200-8,000
- Weight: 85 g
- Six programmable buttons, 1,000 Hz polling
- Lightsync RGB, 2.1 m cable
Drawback: The shell is small. People with large hands who palm-grip may find it cramped.
2. HyperX Pulsefire Core
The Pulsefire Core suits right-handed players who want a fuller shape that fills the palm. It uses the well-known Pixart 3327 sensor and has two side buttons, which helps in shooters for push-to-talk or melee. Its MRP is Rs 4,499, but it often sells for much less.
- Sensor: Pixart 3327, up to 6,200 DPI
- Weight: about 87 g
- Seven programmable buttons, 1,000 Hz polling
- 1.8 m braided cable, single-zone RGB
Drawback: RGB is limited to the logo, and it has no left-handed version.
3. Razer DeathAdder Essential
The DeathAdder shape is one of the most copied ergonomic designs in gaming. The Essential version keeps that shape and drops the extras, which makes it a good choice for long sessions and claw or palm grips.
- Optical sensor, up to 6,400 DPI
- Weight: 96 g
- Five programmable buttons
- 1,000 Hz polling
Drawback: Single-colour green lighting only, and fewer buttons than the others here.
4. Corsair Harpoon RGB Pro
The Harpoon RGB Pro is small and light at 85 g, with the same PixArt PMW3327 sensor family as the HyperX. It is aimed at FPS and MOBA players who flick the mouse a lot and want lower weight.
- Sensor: PixArt PMW3327, up to 12,000 DPI
- Weight: 85 g without cable
- Six programmable buttons
- Polling: 125/250/500/1,000 Hz
Drawback: Right-handed only, and stock can be patchy across sellers.
5. Redragon M612 Predator
The M612 is for MMO, RPG and strategy players who want more buttons than any other mouse here. It has 11 programmable buttons, including a rapid-fire button and two side macro buttons.
- Sensor: Pixart P3104, 500-8,000 DPI with five presets
- 11 programmable buttons
- 1.8 m braided cable
- Five RGB backlight modes
Drawback: It is noticeably heavier than the others, which slows down fast aim in shooters.
How to choose a gaming mouse
- Sensor over DPI: A high DPI number on the box does not mean better tracking. Most players use 800-3,200 DPI. A known sensor (Pixart 3327 or Logitech’s own) matters more.
- Weight: Under 90 g suits fast shooters. Heavier mice feel steadier for MMO and casual play.
- Shape and grip: Ergonomic right-handed shapes (DeathAdder, Pulsefire Core) are better for palm grip. Small symmetrical ones (G102) suit claw and fingertip grips.
- Polling rate: Look for 1,000 Hz. Cheap 125 Hz mice add noticeable delay.
- Software: Logitech G Hub, Razer Synapse and HyperX NGenuity let you save DPI and button settings.
Set it up properly after you buy
Install the brand’s software first: G Hub for Logitech, NGenuity for HyperX, Synapse for Razer and iCUE for Corsair. Set two or three DPI levels you will actually use, for example 800 for shooters and 1,600 for desktop work, and save them to the mouse’s onboard memory where supported.
Turn off the Enhance pointer precision option in Windows mouse settings. It adds acceleration, which makes your aim inconsistent from one flick to the next. A cloth mouse pad at least 30 cm wide also helps more than most people expect, especially at low DPI where you move your arm instead of your wrist.
On a laptop, use a USB port on the same side as your mouse hand so the cable does not drag across the keyboard or the desk edge. A simple mouse bungee is another cheap fix for cable drag on wired mice.
Which one should you buy
Buy the Logitech G102 if you want one mouse that suits most people. Pick the Razer DeathAdder Essential or HyperX Pulsefire Core for comfort over long sessions. Choose the Redragon M612 if you play MMOs and need extra buttons.

Frequently asked questions
Is 8,000 DPI necessary for gaming?
No. Most players use between 800 and 3,200 DPI. Sensor quality and polling rate matter more than the maximum DPI.
Which gaming mouse under Rs 2,000 is best for BGMI or Valorant on PC?
A light mouse with a good sensor works best for shooters. The Logitech G102, Corsair Harpoon RGB Pro and HyperX Pulsefire Core all fit that brief.
Are wired gaming mice better than wireless at this price?
Yes. Under Rs 2,000, wired mice give better sensors and 1,000 Hz polling. Cheap wireless mice often run at 125 Hz, which adds delay.
Is there a good left-handed gaming mouse under Rs 2,000?
The Logitech G102 is symmetrical, so left-handed users can hold it comfortably, though its side buttons are on the left side.
