Rating of gaming mice
A gaming computer mouse is a device adapted to the needs of game lovers. It differs not only in the corresponding design, but also in the technical performance.
Most computer accessory companies such as Asus, Logitech, Razer, Corsair enable gamers to choose the best of the best gaming models. Every year new positions appear on the market of peripheral devices, so it is rather difficult to make a choice on your own.
ASUS ROG Spatha
More recently, Asus gave all gamers its version of the flagship gaming mouse - the ROG Spatha. Not only the name sounds aggressive in this model, just look at its appearance.
Spatha belongs to the best lineup of Asus - Republic of Gamers. Therefore, you will get a rather massive accessory, which is equipped with additional buttons, RGB backlighting (it can be synchronized with other products of this manufacturer) and a bunch of other functions.
The ROG Spatha comes with a huge number of programmable buttons (which can be programmed according to your needs using the Asus Armory software) and a charging dock that looks great. It's easy to guess that the mouse is wireless, but it can also be used with a wire, and in this mode it will also be charged. In both modes, you can adjust the sampling frequency spectrum. RGB lighting looks great, with backlit logo, scroll wheel and side keys. The sensitivity of the sensor is adjustable, the maximum value is 8,200 dpi.
We won't say the ROG Spatha is the ultimate gaming mouse. It also has its drawbacks, for example, the side buttons are not very well placed, but this does not mean that this reduces performance. So let's go ahead and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this model.
pros
- Beautiful and durable body that gamers will love
- A large number of settings
- RGB lighting looks amazing
- 7 programmable keys
- Additional docking station
Minuses
- One of the most expensive on the market
- Front additional buttons are superfluous here
- May seem too heavy for some users
A4Tech XL-750BK
This model is the cheapest in our rating. This immediately catches the eye due to the unremarkable design and lack of frills and various stickers. But this did not affect the quality and functionality.
A4Tech XL-750BK fits equally well for left and right hands. The mouse sensor resolution can be adjusted up to 3600 dpi. 7 programmable keys allow you to set any settings, by the way, for this there is a simple program OscarEditor X7.
In general, this model looks quite simple, and the functionality is certainly far from the flagship mice, but the A4Tech XL-750BK also has its advantages.
pros
- Fits comfortably in the hand
- The plastic is quite pleasant to the touch
- The price doesn't bite
- High precision cursor movement
- Fast DPI change
Minuses
- Poor build quality
- The coating gets dirty quickly
A4Tech Bloody Blazing A7
A wired mouse from A4Tech is fast working and is great for shooters, action games and other genres where the positioning accuracy of the manipulator is important. The Bloody line is almost always of excellent quality and low price. Does this model comply with these principles?
Quite. Experts note its good shape, which contributes to long-term gaming without feeling tired. The design is designed for large and medium palms (right and left). Therefore, if you are looking for something for a small ladies' pen, it is better to pay attention to analogs. There are 8 programmable keys, the sensor resolution reaches 4000 dpi.
You can find fault with the software. Not all settings are present, but there are unnecessary ones. The fact is that the software is not tailored for a specific model, but for the entire line. But this disadvantage is unlikely to overshadow all the advantages.
pros
- A large number of positive responses
- Excellent sliding on the mat
- Spectacular RGB lighting
- Ergonomic hand shape
- Low price
Minuses
- Heavy
- Software flaws
A4Tech Bloody J95S
The model differs from competitors by the presence of a triple-shot button on the left main mouse button. Moreover, it also moves the cursor slightly downward to compensate for the bulging of the barrel. High precision of cursor movements is provided by a high DPI value - up to 5000.
The manufacturer has endowed this mouse with independent backlight zones (literally every diode can be fine-tuned) and ample opportunities for programming keys and recording macros. Native software offers many features. According to gamers, there is so much here that you literally get lost.
In combination with a truly meager price, this solution can be called optimal for beginners and amateurs.
pros
- 8 programmable keys
- Triple shot button
- Flexible customization options
- Low price
Minuses
- Right hand only
- Problems of translating software into Russian
Razer DeathAdder Essential
Razer is considered by many to be the trendsetter in computer peripherals. And completely deserved. Reiser's gaming mice are popular not only among ordinary gamers, but also among cybersportsmen. And despite the attractive price tag, the DeathAdder Essential does not fall out of this rule.
Razer's most affordable gaming mouse has a 6400 DPI sensor resolution. Works quickly and without delays. The smooth surface and textured parts on the sides are comfortable to play. Real owners note that even for a large palm, this is a great option in terms of ergonomics.
All the "budget" of such a solution is shown in the materials. The clicks will be loud enough, the wheel is stiff and can creak. On the other hand, the rich Razer Synapse software is at your service.
pros
- High ergonomics
- Convenient shape and compactness
- Non-marking coating
- Sensor accuracy and reliability
Minuses
- Lack of rubber pads on the sides
- Noticeable "cheaper" compared to other models of the DeathAdder line
Logitech G G102 Lightsync
This is a modified version of the Logitech G102 model, which players liked because of the successful design and a pleasant price tag. Aggressive appearance and a flawless optical sensor, according to Logitech engineers, are far from the main conditions for successful gaming. They focused on minimal response latency, well-thought-out body shape, reliable switches and sensors, while retaining all the key advantages of the original G102.
Lightsync is tailored to fit almost any hand grip. Although best suited for medium to small palm sizes (right hand only), due to its light weight (only 85g) and less bulk than other models from the company and its competitors.
There are no criticisms of Logitech software, unlike A4Tech products.
pros
- Precise sensor operation with a resolution of up to 8000 dpi
- Lightweight and compact
- Elegant looks, atypical for gaming mice
- 4 body colors
- Lots of reviews and perfect reputation
- The optimum ratio of price and quality
Minuses
- Not for big hands or left-handed
A4Tech Bloody AL90
Nothing can be done about the fact that they make excellent gaming mice at an attractive price. Bloody AL90 has an outwardly simple design, everything is matte, there are practically no glossy inserts. Soft-touch coating and sidewall perforations ensure that the mouse sits firmly in the palm of your hand.
Unlike other models, ours supports a weight adjustment system. At the bottom of the mouse there is a compartment with weights for making the case heavier. Although without them, the device feels very light and balanced.
At the heart of the product is the robust ADNS-9800 sensor, proven by many gaming mice. Its maximum resolution is 8200 DPI.
pros
- High-quality assembly
- High ergonomics (especially without weights)
- Increased DPI
- Wide customization options
- Moderate cost
Minuses

It has a proprietary HERO sensor with a maximum sensitivity of 12,000 dpi and with reduced power consumption! The minimum sensitivity parameter is 200 DPI. The sampling rate is standard 1000 Hz, the delay time is up to 1 ms.
LIGHTSPEED is a wireless technology that provides the same wireless mouse performance as wired counterparts. Efficient power consumption allows the AA battery to last for 250 hours of active use.

pros
- Convenient shape and size
- Quality HERO optical sensor
- Huge DPI resolution
- Stylish, versatile appearance, without anything superfluous
- Energy efficiency
Minuses
- Heavenly noise
Cooler Master MM710
Probably the lightest gaming mouse in the world. Only 53 grams. And yet the trademark difference of this "rodent" from almost all models on the market is the complete absence of RGB backlighting. A conservative solution for those who do not like bright glow, especially when it hurts the eyes in the dark. However, the uniqueness of the MM710 does not end there.
The design is made with a perforated body. Really for ventilation of the insides? Do not worry about water or dust getting inside - it is provided with protection from dust and moisture according to the PCBA standard. The sensor resolution is represented by 7 levels, starting from 400 DPI and ending with almost (but not) a record indicator - 16000 DPI.
Large feet allow the device to glide comfortably over surfaces, both on a rug and on a wooden surface. There are also no questions about ergonomics - the mouse is convenient to use both in games and in everyday tasks.
pros
- Very light weight
- Symmetrical shape (suitable for left-handers)
- Ergonomics
- High max. permission
- Non-marking housing
- Replaceable feet included
- Convenient software
Minuses
- Unusual design, not everyone will "fit"
Razer Basilisk V2
She has very wide opportunities for personalization - here you have 11 programmable buttons, and 5 user profiles, and an alternative set of macros + additional. functions in Hypershift mode.
The resolution of the Focus + sensor is simply cosmic - up to 20,000 DPI! There is a special regulator with which you can change the resistance of the scroll wheel.
The main switches are rated for 70,000,000 clicks. At the same time, the mouse has not lost its compactness and ergonomics. Light weight, lightweight dimensions, thoughtful shape and high-quality materials from Razer - everything for the convenience of the gamer and the average PC user. Perhaps you will find a more profitable solution for the price, but hardly for the quality.

- Optical candles excluding double-click
