Next up comes a bike from JOROTO which offers a similar performance as our top pick, but at a more affordable price. There are a few key differences between the two, but chances are that some of the features this bike lacks are a good trade off if you’re on a budget. Don’t let that price fool you. This bike is all about getting you a challenging workout on a daily basis.
JOROTO has used good quality tubing for the frame, making this entire thing rather sturdy. The seat is not a racing type, but it is fully adjustable. One of the first places where you will see a compromise is the flywheel. This model features a 35 pound unit which is still very formidable all things considered. The drive system is quite good, smooth and responsive.
There’s no slack in the pedals and you can really load the entire thing. As expected, the resistance settings are fully adjustable and can go pretty much as high as you want them to. One cool thing about this JOROTO bike is the media shelf which is large enough to house even the largest tablets quite securely. Also, it’s a good looking bike.

Because of that, some will be more than content with a wireless gaming mouse, while others will need a wired, high end beast to get the job done. Today we’ll focus on showing you a few things to keep in mind when shopping for a gaming mouse for less than $100.
This is generally the heart of the mouse and hence requires the most attention. Finding a good optical sensor in a mouse is 90% of the job. What you are looking for is good DPI values, or Dots Per Inch. This is nothing more than a measurement of how sensitive the mouse is. Higher DPI isn’t necessarily better.
What matters more is how much you can fine tune the DPI within a given range. DPI paired with in-game sensitivity is what it’s all about. As expected, higher end mice will have a better sensor then a gaming mouse that costs under $50. That is a given.
Once you’ve found a good sensor, you’ll want to find something that fits well in your hand. Our hands are different in general, so make sure to find something that fits yours well. An uncomfortable mouse can have the best possible sensor, but it will still be a choir to use.
This is where you need to figure out how much functionality you need. Can you get away with 5 buttons? Or do you need north of 10? Different gaming mice have offer different configurations in this regard.
With all that covered, let’s look at some of the most frequently asked questions regarding gaming mice.
Absolutely! Any gaming mouse will move the cursor just as well inside a game as it will in a different piece of software. On top of that, a gaming mouse can be configured to work with different software shortcuts so it could potentially improve your work flow.
A gaming mouse doesn’t necessarily improve aim on its own, but it is a necessary tool to have if you want to improve your aim. In other words, you will have to work hard on your aiming skills and a gaming mouse will help, but it won’t magically make you an eSports superstar.
It depends what kind of games you play. Most FPS players will work with 700 DPI or lower because lower DPI allows for better precision. On the other hand, MOBA gamers will use more than that on average.
