What Makes a Good Gaming Mouse

I'm afraid this is one of those questions where the answer is ultimately: it depends.

 

Why? Because 'What makes a good gaming mouse' is an ambiguous question... Someone who plays First Person Shooters (FPS) is going to have quite a different opinion to my grandmother who plays Hearts on her computer.

 

So realistically, if you're looking for a good gaming mouse you need to consider the following:

 

What type of games do you play?

 

If you're playing an MMORPG a mouse like the Naga might be best due to the large amount of bindable buttons, whereas an avid FPSer would be much more concerned with things like grip, DPI and maybe the ability to store profiles.

 

What is your price range?

 

If you can't spend more than $20, a 'good gaming mouse' for you is going to be different to someone with a budget of $80...

 

What are your requirements?

 

Wired or wireless? Optical or laser? Right-handed, left-handed or ambidextrus? You need to know the answer to these questions if you want to find the best mouse for your gaming needs.

 

The good news is that when it comes to gaming mice, manufactures are well aware that gamers demand details! A little research on your part and you'll be able to find the best gaming mouse for your needs!
