Experienced PC gamers have very specific preferences for the size, shape and sensitivity of the gaming mice they use to interact with virtual environments and win contests reliably. However, if you're new to gaming, or trying to improve your scores, you may be asking "What kind of gaming mouse is best for me?"
With dozens of manufacturers and hundreds of styles to choose from, there's sure to be a gaming mouse that works for you. Yet while there are lots of buying factors – price, software, auxiliary functions, etc. – the most basic questions to address are how you grip your mouse, how you move it across your desk or mousepad, and how far and fast you want each movement to translate into on-screen action.
You’ve already got a souped-up gaming laptop or gaming desktop. Now it’s time to find the right gaming mouse.
When shopping for a gaming mouse, you should first consider issues related to fit, feel and sensitivity. The mouse has to sit comfortably in your hand, match the way you use your wrist and arm, and move the cursor at the right speed for your style of play.
It's important that your gaming mouse fit properly in your hand and fingers. A device that's too short or too long can put the main buttons where they're uncomfortable to click. A too heavy or too light mouse can affect control. Even the shape of the mouse (wide or thin, flat or arched) can affect how you use it.
To select a gaming mouse that's the right size and shape, consider how you hold the device:
Are you left handed? If so, you've already learned to use lots of right-handed tools. Gaming mice are no different, since most are built for right-handers (especially the thumb-oriented secondary action or function buttons). However, if you do a thorough search, you can find left-handed or ambidextrous gaming mice with buttons where you need them (mostly).
The mice we used with early PCs relied on balls, rollers and wheels to sense where we wanted to position the cursor. Modern mice combine LED or laser light with tiny cameras to detect how far and fast the device moves against the illuminated surface of your desk or mousepad. A brighter light and better camera enable progressively more detailed movement detection and a more "sensitive" mouse.
Mouse sensitivity is measured in counts per inch or CPI, which indicates how many increments of on-screen movement can be generated by moving the mouse across one inch of desk or mousepad space. However, manufacturers typically use "dots per inch" or DPI to describe mouse sensitivity (probably because most consumers already understand DPI as a way to describe the visual precision of laptop displays).
It's difficult to recommend an exact DPI for all gamers, since everyone is different. Your mouse should help you make big, full-screen movements when needed but also help you aim and steer with pixel-perfect precision. With this in mind, here's some broad DPI guidance based on how you typically use your gaming mouse:
Another term you'll encounter when shopping for a gaming mouse is polling rate, which measures how many times per second the mouse and computer communicate regarding cursor position. Higher polling rates -- measured in hertz (Hz) -- are better, and a wired mouse will always have a higher polling rate than a wireless one. But even a relatively slow polling rate still monitors cursor position hundreds of times per second and is likely sufficient for most gaming activities.
Of course, there’s more to buying a gaming mouse than determining fit, feel and sensitivity. Here’s a quick look at some of the other factors that might influence your decision:
