Quick Answer
For Dota 2 in South Africa, a lightweight 60-70g wireless mouse with a high-DPI sensor suits the long sessions and frequent camera flicks. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 (near R2,800), Razer Viper V3 Pro (near R3,200) and the value Logitech G305 (near R900) all fit Dota's click-heavy, precise play.
What Dota 2 Asks of a Mouse
Dota is about accurate clicks, camera control and quick ability casts rather than raw flick-shooting. Comfort over a 40-minute match matters more than chasing the lightest possible shell, but a sub-70g mouse still reduces fatigue. A reliable sensor tracking cleanly at 400-1600 DPI covers most players; you do not need extreme DPI. Two side buttons help bind common actions, and a comfortable shape for your grip prevents cramping in long games.
