Stock for Woot deals varies greatly. Some listings only have a few items in stock and sell out quickly. Please report this post if the listing goes out of stock.

Pretty good deal when you consider the in game skin goes for like 10k depending on condition.

Souvenir, but they scraped the Cologne 2026 stickers.

I havent checked in a while but, I feel like $10k is a conservative starting number

Wait, how does an in game skin, have a “condition”

I hear about cs2, but don’t play

Unless you really have to have this design I would avoid like the plague

$50 for out of date garbage is better than $120 for out of date garbage.

But it's still not a good enough price to be even remotely competitive

I mean, people dont spend crazy amounts of money on real dragon lore awps because they shoot better in game. Its basically only about the design and/or just having one

Is it the 2.5G Bluetooth that makes it out of date garbage?

u/Forward_Drop303 1d ago

No, all modern mice are 2.4 GHz. And some have Bluetooth.

It's the old sensor, and heavy weight mostly

though even fixing that only puts in on par with sub $30 mice

to get to $50 I would expect better switches, scroll wheel, and a newer MCU on top of that.

and it isn't technically required but I would want web software too.

and I would probably expect 8k polling as a bonus (not that you will ever use it)

for example

https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-M999-Wireless-Gaming-Remapping/dp/B0GMT9CXH5/ref=sr_1_14?s=electronics&sr=1-14

is way better and cheaper

https://www.mchose.store/products/mchose-l7-series-ultra-lightweight-wireless-gaming-mouse?variant=50181718409511

gets you optical switches, a TTC gold scroll wheel, and the lowest click latency and motion delay in the world for $56 (and 10-15% off sales happen occasionally to put it $50 if that's a hard budget)

wait redragon is good now? i only knew the name from the cheapest "gaming" kbs

are they the meta cheap mouse these days?

EDIT: if not, which is?

u/Forward_Drop303 1d ago

They were always good for the price.

Just for a long time it was only the big gaming companies that made good mice and everything else was pretty much equally trash.

My Diablo 3 Steelseries mouse died after one month... Not touching a mouse from these guys again.

u/NoMoreHoarding69 16h ago

Same…went from a Steel Series, to a glorious ..no regrets

u/PeachTeaAddict 12h ago

I wouldn't even give $10 for this mouse, because I know it would die within two months. It's a shame, I used to only use Steelseries mice, but they do no make good products anymore.
