Buying Guide
Sensor Quality
Modern gaming mice use optical sensors. Look for PixArt sensors (PMW3360 or newer) or proprietary sensors from Logitech (HERO) or Razer (Focus+). These provide flawless tracking with no acceleration or angle snapping.
DPI Explained
DPI (dots per inch) measures sensitivity. Higher isn't always better. Most pros use 400-1600 DPI. You want a sensor that tracks accurately at your preferred DPI, not just a high maximum number.
Weight Matters
Lightweight mice (under 80g) allow faster movements and reduce arm fatigue. Great for low-sensitivity FPS players.
Heavier mice (over 100g) provide more control and stability. Preferred by high-sensitivity players and MMO gamers.
Grip Styles
Palm grip: Full hand contact. Needs larger, ergonomic mice.
Claw grip: Arched fingers, palm contact at base. Works with most shapes.
Fingertip grip: Only fingertips touch. Needs lightweight, smaller mice.
Wired vs Wireless
Modern wireless mice have no input lag. Battery life is the only concern. Wireless costs more but eliminates cable drag.
Our Testing Process
We test mice in CS2, Valorant, Apex Legends, and MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV. We measure click latency, sensor accuracy at various DPI settings, and durability of switches and feet. Each mouse is used for 30+ hours of gaming.
