Cheap thrills
Don't have $80 or more to spend on a gaming mouse? Cougar today announced a pair of budget friendly rodents, the 230M and 250M, which carry MSRPs of $20 and $30, respectively. Despite the inexpensive price points, Cougar claims these are pro level gaming mice.
Both the 230M and 250M sport ambidextrous designs. Other shared features include a 1,000Hz polling rate, Omron switches, a "gaming grade" scroll wheel with backlighting, and programmable buttons.
Starting with the 230M, Cougar says it will appeal to purists who care most about quality and accuracy. That pitch translates into a 3,200 DPI sensor that's adjustable to four fixed levels (400, 800, 1600, and 3200 DPI) and, well, not much else.
The 250M kicks things up a notch with half a dozen programmable buttons (including two thumb paddles), 4,000 DPI sensor that's adjustable on the fly to user configurable levels, and internal memory to store up to three different profiles.
Both the 230M and 250M are available now, though their street prices are bit inflated at the moment. Newegg has the 230M listed at $25 with $1 shipping, and the 250M at $37 with $1 shipping.
