There's an abundance of budget-minded gaming mice on the shelves, and many of them offer excellent bang for your buck value. Ruling them all, though, is the Razer Basilisk V3, a wired multi-genre pointer I gave top marks back when I reviewed it in 2021.
Since then, the already respectable $69.99 MSRP has given way to plenty of discounts but I've generally only ever seen it dip down to $44.99 during major sales. That all changed in December when the Razer Basilisk V3 took its first dip below the $40 threshold, and that $39.99 record low price has finally returned to Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy.
I rate this as one of the best gaming mouse models out there, especially when it comes to its overall value. This is a slightly rare discount, though, considering it's generally placed at slightly over $40. It's worth noting that Best Buy has a timer on this particular offer (though Walmart and Amazon haven't mentioned an end date) that will run out on Sunday, April 7. Whether other retailers follow suit is yet to be seen, but I wouldn't wait this one out if you're interested.

Save $30 - With its 26K sensor and super comfortable form factor, the Razer Basilisk V3 was already well-priced at $69.99. After spending several sales at a comfortable $49.99 rate, though, it's dropped an additional $10 today at Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy.
