For most players in India, the Dareu A950GM (₹2,599) is the best gaming mouse under ₹5,000. It pairs the flagship PixArt PAW3395 sensor with a 60g shell and 2.4GHz + Bluetooth + wired modes, at a price where most rivals use older sensors. If you want a household brand and the longest battery, the Logitech G304 is the safe alternative. For a wired mouse under ₹1,000, the Dareu EM908X (₹725) is the pick.
All 9 mice compared
We compared the mice Indian buyers actually shortlist in this budget: our three Dareu picks and six popular alternatives from Logitech, Razer, Attack Shark and VXE. Swipe the table sideways on a phone.
| Mouse | Price (Oct 2026) | Connection | Sensor | Weight | Battery | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dareu A950GM | ₹2,599 | 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, USB-C | PixArt PAW3395 (26K DPI) | 60g | Rechargeable, up to 125 h | Best overall, FPS |
| Logitech G304 Lightspeed | ~₹2,600–2,900 | 2.4GHz | HERO 12K | 99g with AA battery | 1× AA, up to 250 h | Battery life, big brand |
| Attack Shark X11 SE | ~₹2,600 | Wireless | PixArt PAW3311 | ~59g | Rechargeable, ~65 h | Light, budget wireless |
| VXE Dragonfly R1 SE+ | Varies (~₹2,000–3,000) | 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, wired | PAW3395 SE (18K DPI) | ~55g | Rechargeable | Ultralight on a budget |
| Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed | ~₹3,600 | 2.4GHz, Bluetooth | Razer 5G (14K DPI) | ~86g without battery | AA/AAA, long life | Big right-hand ergo shape |
| Razer Cobra (wired) | ~₹2,000–2,600 | Wired | Optical, 8.5K DPI | 58g | Not needed | Light wired FPS |
| Logitech G502 HERO (wired) | ~₹3,100–3,300 | Wired | HERO 25K | 121g (+ weights) | Not needed | 11 buttons, MMO/MOBA |
| Dareu A970 FIREFLY | ₹949 | Wired, 1.8 m braided cable | DAREU Custom AIM sensor (18K DPI) | 83 ± 5g | Not needed | Wired all-rounder |
| Dareu EM908X | ₹725–₹775 | Wired | BRAVO ATG4090 (10K DPI) | ~90g | Not needed | First gaming mouse |
Dareu prices are tekits.com prices. Other prices are typical Indian retail listings (Amazon, Flipkart and Indian PC stores) in October 2026 and change often, so check before you buy. Specs are from each manufacturer. The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless (61g, 26K sensor) is excellent but usually sells for ₹6,000 or more in India, so it's just outside this budget.
How we picked
- Sensor first, not the DPI number. Every pick tracks cleanly at the 400–3,200 DPI competitive players actually use. The PAW3395 class leads this budget.
- Weight. Under about 85g for FPS. Lighter mice are less tiring in long Valorant, CS2 or BGMI sessions.
- Connection. 2.4GHz wireless is as fast as wired for gaming. Bluetooth is for laptops and travel, not ranked games.
- Real price in India, including what you actually pay on Indian stores, not the global MSRP.
- Warranty you can use in India. Grey-market imports often have none.

Gaming mice under ₹5,000 Under ₹3,0001. Dareu A950GM: best gaming mouse under ₹5,000
Flagship sensor at a budget price
₹2,599 · PixArt PAW3395 · 60g · 2.4GHz / Bluetooth / USB-C · 500mAh, up to 125 h (Dareu rating) · HUANO 100M-click switches
The A950GM uses the same PAW3395 sensor found in mice that cost ₹8,000 and more: up to 26,000 DPI, 650 IPS and 50G acceleration, with no smoothing or jitter at normal settings. At 60g it's in the weight range most competitive FPS players prefer.
What sets it apart in this budget is that you don't have to choose between modes. Use the 2.4GHz dongle for games, Bluetooth for your laptop, and the braided USB-C cable when it needs charging. It's WPC-certified for India and comes in black and white.
- PAW3395 at ₹2,599, the best sensor in this list
- 60g with a full, non-holey shell
- Three connection modes
- 1-year India warranty, Cash on Delivery
- Rechargeable only (no AA backup like the G304)
- Newer brand in India than Logitech or Razer
- Symmetrical shape; big right-hand palm grippers may prefer the DeathAdder
Who should buy it: anyone who plays Valorant, CS2, BGMI on PC or Apex and wants flagship tracking without flagship pricing.
Buy the Dareu A950GM, ₹2,5992. Logitech G304 Lightspeed: the safe big-brand choice
- HERO 12K sensor
- 99g with AA battery
- 2.4GHz only, up to 250 h
- ~₹2,600–2,900
The G304 has been India's default budget wireless gaming mouse for years, and for good reason: it's reliable, the AA battery lasts for months, and Logitech's service network is everywhere. Its sensor is a generation older than the PAW3395, it has no Bluetooth, and at 99g with the battery it's much heavier than the A950GM. If battery life and brand matter most, it's a sound buy. If aim and weight matter most, the A950GM is the better mouse for similar money. We compare them in detail in Dareu A950GM vs Logitech G304.
3. Ultralight alternatives: VXE R1 SE+ and Attack Shark X11 SE
- PAW3395 SE, 18K DPI
- ~55g
- 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, wired
- Price varies (~₹2,000–3,000)
- PAW3311
- ~59g
- Rechargeable, ~65 h
- ~₹2,600
Both are popular with Indian enthusiasts who want a very light wireless mouse. The VXE Dragonfly R1 SE+ is about 55g with a PAW3395 SE sensor, a cut-down version of the full PAW3395 that tops out at 18K DPI. The Attack Shark X11 SE is about 59g with a PAW3311. Both are good value, but their sensors are a step below the full PAW3395, and India warranty support depends on the seller. Buy them only from an Indian seller that gives a GST invoice and warranty.
4. Razer options: DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed and Cobra
- Razer 5G, 14K DPI
- ~86g without battery
- 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, AA/AAA
- ~₹3,600
- Optical, 8.5K DPI
- 58g
- Optical switches
- ~₹2,000–2,600
The DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed (~₹3,600) has Razer's famous right-handed ergonomic shape, which is great for large hands and palm grip. It runs on AA/AAA batteries and is heavier (about 86g before the battery). The wired Razer Cobra (58g, optical switches) is one of the lightest wired mice here and has dropped to about ₹2,000 in Amazon sales, a good pick if you never want to charge anything.
5. Dareu A970 FIREFLY: best wired value
A proper gaming mouse for under ₹1,000
₹949 · DAREU Custom AIM Gaming Sensor, 18,000 DPI, 400 IPS · 83 ± 5g · 7 buttons · 1.8 m braided cable
The A970 sits between the budget EM908X and the wireless A950GM. KBS 2.0 click tech keeps the main buttons tight with no wobble, and its switches are rated for 50 million clicks. It connects with a 1.8 m braided USB cable.
- Strong sensor for ₹949
- 7 buttons, including forward, back, DPI and lighting
- 1.8 m braided cable, 50M-click switches
- 83 ± 5g: fine for most games, not ultralight
- Wired only
6. Dareu EM908X: best gaming mouse under ₹1,000
Optical switches at ₹725
₹725 (Black) / ₹775 (Sakura Pink) · BRAVO ATG4090, 10,000 DPI · 1,000 Hz · optical switches, 50M clicks
Optical switches register clicks with light instead of metal contacts, so they don't develop the double-click problem cheap mice often get. That's rare at this price. It's the right first gaming mouse for students and anyone moving up from an office mouse.
- Optical switches under ₹800
- RGB and 6 programmable buttons
- Black or Sakura Pink
- About 90g, the heaviest Dareu here
- Sensor is fine for casual and ranked play, not top-tier
Stretching past ₹5,000?
Dareu A950Pro Magnesium, ₹5,999
CNC magnesium-alloy shell · 59g · PAW3395 · 4KHz wireless polling · Kailh GM8.0 switches · 42 h at 4KHz
Same sensor as the A950GM, but a stiff magnesium shell and 4,000 Hz wireless polling, four times the update rate. Worth it for high-refresh-rate monitors and players who want the most premium Dareu. Read A950GM vs A950Pro to decide.

Competitive FPS (Valorant, CS2)
Dareu A950GM. Best sensor and lowest weight for the money.
Longest battery, big brand
Logitech G304. Runs months on one AA, but heavier and an older sensor.
Never want to charge
Dareu A970 (₹949) or Razer Cobra. Wired, light enough for FPS.
Under ₹1,000
Dareu EM908X. Optical switches that won't double-click.
Big hands, palm grip
Razer DeathAdder V2 X. Classic right-handed ergo shape.
Laptop + gaming PC
Dareu A950GM. Bluetooth for the laptop, 2.4GHz for games.
Wired or wireless in 2026?
A good 2.4GHz wireless mouse is now as fast as wired for gaming: both report at 1,000 Hz, about 1 ms. Bluetooth adds delay, so use it for work, not ranked games. Pick wired only if you want the lowest price or never want to charge. Otherwise wireless removes cable drag, which is the bigger real-world difference.
