Another "which mouse" thread

Sorry for another one of these, I know there's a few!

I use my PC for a mix of gaming and productivity, I also work from home 1 day a week. I'm currently using a Logitech MX Master 2, which is fine for productivity, but not so great on the gaming side, so I'm after a mouse that leans more towards gaming.

Requirements:
£100 budget
Sub 100g
Wireless
Not fussed about RGB or a bunch programmable buttons

So far I think I've narrowed it down:
Logitech Superlight Pro 2 SE (nice short name) as I can get that for £90, it's a nice weight, not too flashy, and has a high DPI
Razor DeatherAdder V3 Pro, also £90, similar in design to the Logitech

On paper the Logitech is better, higher acceleration, IPS & DPI, although not being a competitive FPS player I doubt I'd notice the difference.

Or should I be considering an outsider, like the Endgame Gear offerings from OC:

Thanks in advance.

The end game mouse does look like at decent option and is on offer but regardless do you really need anything more then 6400dpi and 6 to 8 button mouse ?

I'm not overly fussed about loads of extra buttons, but with the MX 2 having a DPI of 4000 and a weight of 145g I imagine a 44,000+ DPI 60g mouse would be significantly better for games like Cyberpunk and the like

You don't need a crazy high DPI mate.

I play PUBG at a reasonable level, nearly 4000 hours and you don't need it.

If you are playing something like Cyberpunk or anything outside of some form of competitive FPS you definitely don't need it.

I would focus on weight, battery life, aesthetics and by far the most important is ergonomics.

With regards to ergonomics as you are ordering online you won't know, but Google the mouse you are interested in, eg is this Logitech X good with small hands/big hands etc and see what Reddit posts say. Also consider whether you have a claw or palm grip

That stuff is WAAAAY more important than DPI , it's pretty much a BS marketing thing which is meaningless when you get past a fes thousand anyway which will be pretty much any modern optical mouse.

Thanks for the response, being in engineering I went straight to comparing specs.

Aesthetics wise, I don't particularly want something full of buttons, sharp angles & RGB. I use a palm grip, and the MX2 with the shape and the thump rest is really comfy, I don't get any fatigue in my fingers at all, it could do with being a little lighter though. Battery life is a concern if its a USB rechargeable battery, doesn't matter if it's AA/AAA as I've got dozens of rechargeables knocking around. Does PC World still stock mice & have them on display?

Little update on this. So I went for the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro, as it was the closest in shape for my previous Logitech MX Master 2, which had a perfect shape.
I'm still getting used to it. I find my thumb tends to sit at a angle, rather than flat down the side of the mouse like it did on the Logitech. I'm hoping I'll get used to it in time, as right now it's causing me thumb ache/pain issues. I much prefer it's lightness and the scroll wheel over the Logitech, it's just the shape isn't quite right yet.
