Is it worth buying mice on eBay?
Yes, on one condition: choose professional sellers with feedback of 97% or higher and new products. All the eBay prices in this guide meet that criterion; many come from Italian shops that use eBay as a storefront.
Wireless or wired mouse for gaming?
In 2026 the latency of high-end wireless mice (Lightspeed, HyperSpeed) is indistinguishable from a cable. Wired only makes sense to save money: the same sensor quality costs 25-40 € less without the battery and receiver.
The prices shown were checked on 26 August 2026 on Amazon.it and eBay.it (professional sellers, new products) and may vary.
