Spending under ₹2,000 on a gaming mouse used to mean a heavy, flashy mouse with a vague sensor. Not any more. In 2026 this budget gets you a proper optical sensor, 1000 Hz polling and, if you shop well, a mouse under 75 g.
This guide sorts the mice worth considering by what matters most: shape, weight, sensor and real price in India, not the biggest number on the box.
Comparison table
| Mouse | Best for | Sensor | Weight | Wired / wireless | Price on Amazon.in* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Logitech G102 Lightsync | Most people, small–medium hands | Logitech gaming sensor, 200–8,000 DPI | 85 g | Wired | ₹1,195 |
| Cosmic Byte Firestorm | Lightest for the money | PixArt PMW3327, up to 12,400 DPI | 67 g (honeycomb shell) | Wired | ₹999 |
| HyperX Pulsefire Core | Big-brand all-rounder | PixArt 3327, up to 6,200 DPI | 87 g | Wired | ₹1,145 |
| Razer DeathAdder Essential | Right-handed palm grip | Optical, 6,400 DPI | 96 g | Wired | ₹1,299 |
| Kreo Hawk | Bigger hands, extra buttons | PixArt PAW3327, up to 12,400 DPI | 110 g | Wired | Varies (see below) |
| Redragon M612 Pro | Wireless + Bluetooth on a budget | PixArt PAW3104, 200–8,000 DPI | 114 g | Tri-mode | ₹1,695 |
| EvoFox Blaze | Tightest budget | Instant 825, up to 12,800 DPI | 113 g | Wired | ₹649 |

How we picked
These picks are research-based, not lab-tested. We have not run our own hands-on tests of these mice. Here is what we did instead:
- Specs from the manufacturer. Weights, sensors, sizes and switch ratings come from the brand’s own product pages or manuals (Logitech, Razer, HyperX, Cosmic Byte, Kreo, Redragon, Amkette/EvoFox). Where sources disagreed, we used the manufacturer figure.
- Prices from Amazon.in. Every price in the table was checked on the live Amazon.in listing on 25 October 2026. Products that weren’t reliably in stock are flagged.
- Known trade-offs from the spec sheet. Weight, cable type, sensor class and handedness are listed for every pick, so you can see the compromise before you buy rather than after.
- What we left out. Mice whose specs conflict across listings, and mice selling above ₹2,000 on the day we checked.
What actually matters under ₹2,000
- Shape and size first. A comfortable shape matters more than a fancy sensor. Measure your hand from wrist crease to middle fingertip. Under about 17 cm usually suits small or medium mice like the G102 or Firestorm. Bigger hands often prefer longer, wider mice like the Kreo Hawk or DeathAdder Essential.
- Weight. Lighter mice (under about 80–90 g) are easier to flick in FPS games like Valorant or CS2. Heavier mice can feel steadier for slower games and everyday use.
- Sensor: ignore the DPI race. Most players use 400–1,600 DPI. A PixArt 3327-class sensor or Logitech’s own sensor is plenty at this budget. “12,800 DPI” on the box tells you very little.
- Polling rate. 1000 Hz is standard and is all you need here.
- Cable and feet. A soft paracord-style cable and smooth PTFE feet make a cheap mouse feel much more expensive.
- Warranty and service in India. Check the warranty period and whether the brand has a working service process in India.
Logitech G102 Lightsync: best overall
- Sensor: Logitech gaming-grade sensor, 200–8,000 DPI
- Polling: up to 1000 Hz
- Buttons: 6 (programmable)
- Weight: 85 g
- Cable: 2.1 m
- Price seen: ₹1,195 (listed MRP ₹2,295)
The G102 is the default recommendation for a reason. It has a simple, symmetrical shape that suits most grips for small and medium hands, Logitech’s G HUB software lets you set DPI steps and button bindings, and it is easy to find across India.
Watch out for: the cable is a standard rubber one, not paracord. Fast FPS players may want something lighter.
Cosmic Byte Firestorm: lightest for the money
- Sensor: PixArt PMW3327, 200–12,400 DPI, 220 IPS, 30 G
- Polling: 1000 Hz
- Buttons: 7
- Weight: 67 g with the honeycomb shell (73 g with the solid cover, per the manual)
- Size: 124 × 65 × 39 mm
- Switches: Huano, rated for 10 million clicks
- Cable: 1.5 m paracord-style
- Warranty: 1 year (per manual)
- Price seen: ₹999 (listed MRP ₹1,499)
For about ₹1,000 this has features that usually cost more: a very light shell, a paracord cable and a PixArt 3327 sensor. If you play fast FPS games and have small or medium hands, start here.
Watch out for: honeycomb shells collect dust and the holes aren’t for everyone. Check which cover comes in your box.
HyperX Pulsefire Core: big-brand all-rounder
- Sensor: PixArt 3327, up to 6,200 DPI
- Polling: 1000 Hz
- Buttons: 7
- Weight: 87 g
- Switches: rated for 20 million clicks
- Warranty: 2 years (per the Amazon.in listing)
- Price seen: ₹1,145
The Pulsefire Core used to sit right at the ₹2,000 limit. At around ₹1,150 it is now a strong alternative to the G102: a similar weight, a 3327 sensor, a solid-shell symmetrical shape with side buttons on the left, and a longer warranty than most budget mice.
Watch out for: like the G102, it uses a regular rubber cable rather than paracord, and its maximum DPI is lower on paper (which, as explained above, doesn’t matter in practice).
Razer DeathAdder Essential: best for right-handed palm grip
- Sensor: 6,400 DPI optical, 220 IPS
- Polling: 1000 Hz
- Buttons: 5 Razer Hyperesponse buttons
- Switches: mechanical, rated for 10 million clicks
- Weight: 96 g (excluding cable, per Razer)
- Size: 127 × 73 × 43 mm
- Cable: 1.8 m
- Price seen: ₹1,299
The DeathAdder shape is a well-known ergonomic, right-handed design that suits relaxed palm grip. If the G102 feels too small in your hand, this is the usual next step.
Watch out for: it’s right-handed only, the rubber cable is basic, and at 96 g it is heavier than the Firestorm or Pulsefire Core.
Kreo Hawk: ergonomic pick for larger hands
- Sensor: PixArt PAW3327, up to 12,400 DPI, 220 IPS
- Polling: 1000 Hz
- Buttons: 8
- Weight: 110 g
- Size: 125 × 80 × 46 mm
- Switches: Huano, rated for 10 million clicks
- Feet / cable: PTFE feet, 1.5 m braided cable
Kreo is an Indian brand. The Hawk gives you a wide, tall ergonomic shell and a 3327-class sensor for roughly ₹1,000–1,300. It’s a good choice for bigger hands and palm grip, and for people who want extra side buttons for MMOs or productivity.
Availability at the time of writing: on 25 October 2026 the black version was showing as unavailable on Amazon.in, while the white version had been listed at around ₹1,250–1,300. Kreo’s own store has listed it for about ₹1,000–1,100. Check both before you buy.
Watch out for: at 110 g it’s heavy for fast FPS flicking.
Redragon M612 Pro: wireless on a budget
- Connectivity: tri-mode: Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless and wired USB-C
- Sensor: PixArt PAW3104, 200–8,000 DPI
- Weight: 114 g
- Price seen: ₹1,695 (listed MRP ₹2,490)
If you want one mouse for gaming and a laptop, Bluetooth plus a 2.4 GHz dongle under ₹2,000 is useful. The PAW3104 is an entry-level sensor, though, so competitive FPS players should pick a wired 3327 mouse instead. Use the 2.4 GHz dongle, not Bluetooth, when gaming: Bluetooth typically adds latency.
Watch out for: 114 g is heavy, and the sensor is a step down from the wired picks.
EvoFox Blaze: if your budget is under ₹700
- Sensor: Instant 825, up to 12,800 DPI
- Polling: 1000 Hz
- Buttons: 8
- Weight: 113 g
- Cable: 1.5 m braided
- Price seen: ₹649
EvoFox is Amkette’s gaming brand. The Blaze is a sensible first gaming mouse when every rupee counts. It’s a real step up from an office mouse, but it is heavy, and the sensor is a budget part. A newer Blaze 2 is also listed on Amazon.in for a few rupees more; compare the two listings before buying.
Also considered
- Ant Esports GM320 (about ₹500 on Amazon.in): spec claims such as weight differ between listings, so we have not recommended it until the specs can be confirmed.
Which one should you buy?
- Small–medium hands, mixed games: Logitech G102 or HyperX Pulsefire Core.
- Fast FPS and the lowest weight: Cosmic Byte Firestorm.
- Larger hands, palm grip: Razer DeathAdder Essential, or the Kreo Hawk if you want extra buttons.
- One mouse for PC and laptop: Redragon M612 Pro.
- Under ₹700: EvoFox Blaze, then upgrade later.
FAQ
Is 12,000+ DPI necessary in a gaming mouse?
No. Most players use 400–1,600 DPI. A good sensor implementation, the shape and the weight matter far more than the maximum DPI printed on the box.
Wired or wireless under ₹2,000?
Wired. At this price a wired mouse gets you a better sensor and lower weight for the money. Choose wireless (like the Redragon M612 Pro) only if you need it, for example to share one mouse with a laptop.
Which mouse under ₹2,000 is best for Valorant or CS2?
A light mouse with a PixArt 3327-class sensor: the Cosmic Byte Firestorm (67 g) is the lightest pick here, and the HyperX Pulsefire Core (87 g) or Logitech G102 (85 g) are safe alternatives if you don't want a honeycomb shell.
Is the MRP on Amazon.in the real price?
Rarely. Budget mice are almost always sold well below the printed MRP, 30–50% lower on the listings we checked. Compare the actual selling price, and check the price history during big sales.
Do I need a mousepad?
Yes. Even a cheap cloth pad gives more consistent tracking and glide than a bare desk. See our mousepad size guide.
