How To Select The Optimal Gaming Mouse

By Kevin Mai


Choosing the best gaming mouse can be hard when you start looking at all of the features and the frills that they have these days. You will see buttons that you have never seen before, DPI settings, and will choose between laser or infrared sensors. It can get confusing if you do not know what you need or what some of these things mean.

You will want to do some research and decide which manufacturer you want to buy. It really can be a daunting task unless you know what to look for. A good one can be pricey so before you spend your hard earned money, it is important to know what you need or want.

Some of the key features that you will want to look for include the sensitivity, the buttons, the weight and the grip. The sensitivity is important because the more sensitive it is, the less you will have to move it to get the results you want. Finding one that you are able to adjust the sensitivity on is recommended because if it is too sensitive then you may not be steady enough to make it work how you will want.

Many of today's models feature several buttons. The more buttons that you can program, the better off you will be for gaming. This way you can leave your hand on it rather than having to resort to the keyboard at critical moments in the game.

Some people prefer a lightweight one version over a heavy and cumbersome one. Finding one that allows the user to customize the weight is also advisable so that it can be adjusted to be lighter or heavier as needed. For game play, it might be better if it is light while heavier may be more comfortable while doing other things on the computer. Some models also feature lighting schemes and effects that some people fully enjoy. These are optional items and are a matter of preference.

If you tend to hold it with the tips of your fingers in a claw grip, you will likely be more comfortable buying a compact version. For people that rest their whole hand it in a palm grip will be happier with a larger variety.

These are some of the key features when you are shopping for the best gaming mouse. Looking at the DPI will help you to make sure that it has the sensitivity that you are looking for. You will also want to compare your initial choices until you find the one that will suit your gamer needs and your budget.
