Ways To Choose A 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.

The more buttons that you can program, the better it is. This way you can use it for specific actions in your game without having to resort to the keyboard. Some will even allow the user to set up what is known as a macro, or series of events or actions, making it an even better choice for game playing.

Some gamers are more comfortable using one that is heavy, others prefer a lighter one. Some are made to be customizable so that the weight can be adjusted to the user's preference. Some also feature lights and lighting effects that people enjoy. These two features are really a matter of personal choice more than necessity.

A smaller, compact version might be the best choice for your if you usually hold yours with your fingertips. If you hold it with your whole hand, in a palm grip, you will probably be more comfortable with a larger one.

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.
