General
Corsair's Katar Pro is a low-cost wireless mouse.

Corsair did not attempt to reinvent the mouse when it released the Katar Pro Wireless. The MSRP is usually $39.99. That's already a bargain for a gaming mouse, but now you can get it even cheaper on Amazon for just $27.99.

It almost feels like highway robbery to find a well-known brand wireless mouse this cheap. This is also a decent mouse. Despite the undiscounted price, it doesn't feel cheap. In fact, it's the best wireless gaming mouse for buyers on a budget.

Despite its low price point among gaming mice, the Katar Pro Wireless still offers some flash. It has a small amount of RGB lighting, a dedicated DPI toggle (one of half a dozen programmable buttons), a respectable 10,000 DPI sensor (Pixart PMW3325), and a 1,000 Hz polling rate.

Wireless connectivity is provided through a 2.4GHz dongle that plugs into a USB port, or you can sacrifice latency for a Bluetooth connection; according to Corsair, a single AA battery provides up to 135 hours of continuous use, after which the battery (It is a good idea to keep several AA batteries on hand).

This mouse is also relatively lightweight at 96 grams. Because the thumb button is on the left side, this mouse was designed specifically for right-handed gamers, but it is shaped for ambidextrous use.

Overall, this mouse is a great choice for those looking for a less expensive wireless gaming mouse.
