GAMIAC PA50

5.6/10verdict: good, not the best

The GAMIAC PA50 is for right-handed users who want a wired optical mouse with programmable buttons and a high-DPI sensor. It suits desk setups where a cable is no problem and batteries are unwelcome. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs wireless, Bluetooth or a left-handed shape.

6.6/10verdict: buy

The G305 is for people who want a small, symmetrical wireless mouse with a fast sensor and very long battery life. It suits gamers and desk users who connect through a USB receiver and don't need Bluetooth. Buyers who want a light mouse or a rechargeable battery should look at the weight and AA notes first.
