What to look for in a gaming mouse
Gaming mice are truly personal devices. So how do you choose the best gaming mouse for you? Here’s what to consider:
- Connectivity:Opt for a wired mouse for speed, or a wireless mouse for convenience
- Precision (DPI): How much ‘resolution’ a mouse’s sensor has. Gaming mice tend to range between 12,000 and 26,000 or more.
- Construction and comfort:Are you a righty or a leftie? Do you prefer a light mouse with less friction? Choose between palm-, claw-, or fingertip-style grips.
- Connectivity: Wired, 2.4 GHz wireless, or Bluetooth
- Design: If you love RGB, consider how many accent lights and how much customization is available
What’s the difference between a gaming mouse and a normal mouse?
While a gaming mouse can be used for regular productivity, there are features it supports that make it really the ideal choice for “serious” gaming. One key difference is the speed and resolution of the tracking sensor. Even the best office mice tend to max out at 8,000 DPI, whereas gaming mice offer a minimum of around 16,000. Gaming mice also tend to be designed with lighter, lower-friction frames. These factors give you better movement and aiming while in-game.
