I've just finished up my testing of the Turtle Beach Burst 2 Pro, only to find that the very reason it missed out on that last half a star has been (temporarily) eradicated. It's a little hard to fully justify at its full $139.99 MSRP, but with 40% off that final rate, the brand's latest rodent is looking far more welcoming.

Amazon has it down to $84 this week, just over $55 off the launch price and marking the first time it's been less than $100. Considering the Burst 2 Pro has only been trifling the best gaming mouse models for a couple of months, that's a surprisingly steep early discount.

What else could you get with $84 in your pocket? There are two gaming mice that threaten Turtle Beach's position this week.

First up, the Corsair Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight has taken a $20 discount on its $99.99 MSRP, ending up at $79.99 at Amazon. This is a much, much lighter mouse, weighing in at only 36g, that still manages to retain a less creaky build quality compared to the Burst. It's slimmer, and better equipped for a fingertip grip, but can't match Turtle Beach for overall comfort (especially in a palm grip) or battery life.

Next, we have the Keychron M7 8K. This is my go-to for wireless value on any given day, cramming high-end features into a $69.99 MSRP without breaking too much of a sweat. It's on par with the Burst 2 Pro's unfortunate creaks, but adds a more accessible DPI shifting button and a thumb tray for extra comfort as well. Just note that you're getting a slightly slimmer shape here, less geared towards larger hands or a relaxed palm hold - and that could be for better or worse depending on your preferences.

Should you buy the Turtle Beach Burst 2 Pro?

The Turtle Beach Burst 2 Pro has something neither the Corsair Sabre nor the Keychron can offer. That chunky rear end.

The wider shape of the Burst 2 Pro is pretty rare in the world of esports-focused gaming mice. Competitive players are normally hemmed into a claw or fingertip grip if they want the lightest, fastest polling mice on the market, whereas Turtle Beach has left plenty of room for a less tense palm grip here.

Sure, most of us regular folk won't notice the benefits of that 8,000Hz wireless polling rate. Instead, it's the speedy, reliable sensor, excellent tracking features, and relatively low 57g weight that will see you through ranked matches. If you don't like the taller shape of most fps-first mice, it's well worth investigating the Burst over Corsair and Keychron's similarly priced offerings.

There's one caveat here, but it's largely personal.

Pretty much as soon as I started using the Turtle Beach Burst 2 Pro, I was aware that those main clicks felt a little strange compared to the rest of my rodent fleet. They're much softer than other models, still plenty fast and nicely responsive, but less tactical; that satisfying snap doesn't quite make itself known. By contrast, the side buttons are particularly crisp, which is a strange combination but one that could make or break your decision.

The only thing that kept my review at 4.5 stars? That $139.99 MSRP puts the Burst 2 Pro up against giants like the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro and Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 DEX. In that arena, it's not quite punching in the same league, from its sensor specs to its software features.
