TOP 10 best gaming mice: specifications, reviews

The computer mouse is the most important working tool for any user. Therefore, the product should be as convenient as possible. In addition, it must exactly match the needs of the user. Gaming mice are another story. They must have parameters that are superior to those of conventional manipulators. In addition, gaming products often have a number of unique features.

That is why it is difficult to choose the right tool for the game. It is necessary to take into account all the features of a particular product. It is also important to know that certain characteristics are required for each genre. And it's good if the mouse can match them. For example, in shooters, accuracy and responsiveness are important. And in strategies - resolution. But we will talk about how to make the right choice a little later.

Rating TOP 10 best gaming mice

A4Tech Bloody V7 game mouse Black USB

The legendary Bloody V7, which has already gained some popularity among gamers. Made of high quality plastic, equipped with beautiful RGB backlighting. Designed exclusively for the right hand. An LED sensor is installed inside, capable of providing a resolution of 3200 DPI. The polling rate is 1000 Hz.

The sensor resolution can be changed in the range from 800 to 3200 DPI. On the bottom of the manipulator there are Teflon legs, which provide the smoothest possible sliding on the mat. But on surfaces such as wood or plastic, the legs do not slide well. There are 8 buttons. Additional can be programmed without problems.

I wanted to buy a universal mouse. It turned out that I took the game. The wire in high-quality fabric braid does not allow the conductors to fray. The buttons are very comfortable. I was pleased with the three modes of shooting in CS GO. The backlight is not particularly bright, it does not hurt the eyes. Glides perfectly on the rug. Quite weighty. Fits perfectly under my large palm.

Logitech G G102 Prodigy Black USB

Laser mouse from Logitech with a maximum resolution of 8000 DPI. Able to run on any surface (including glass and mirror). The manipulator has a sturdy plastic body, as well as a comfortable scroll wheel with notches. The mouse is intended for right-handed users and does not have a symmetrical design.

It should be noted that the maximum resolution is available only after installing the appropriate software. Without this, the indicator will be at 6000 DPI. The manipulator has 6 buttons. Three of them are programmable. The polling rate is 1000 Hz. The manufacturer gives a 730-day warranty for its product.

I have always trusted this company. All previous mice were also from Logitech. This model has precise positioning. There is enough permission for all sorts of needs. There is a customizable RGB backlight. Runs easily on any surface. The only thing that is a little frustrating is the overly loud clicks of the switches.

Logitech G G305 LIGHTSPEED Black USB

Wireless mouse with laser sensor and support for unique Lightspeed technology. The installed sensor provides a resolution of 12000 DPI. But it can be easily changed to suit certain conditions. The manipulator is powered by a conventional finger-type battery (AA standard). It lasts for a long time.

Lightspeed technology enhances the communication between the pointing device and the receiver. The mouse has 6 buttons. Three of them can be programmed using the appropriate software. The shape of the case is symmetrical, which allows left-handed people to use the product comfortably. A sleep mode is provided to conserve battery power.

I was looking for a gaming mouse for the left hand for a long time. This one fits perfectly thanks to the symmetrical shape of the case. Runs easily on any surface. Positioning accuracy is high. It is able to automatically switch to the mode of the reduced sampling rate, which saves the battery. Autonomy is a separate conversation. I have not changed the battery since the time of purchase.

HyperX Pulsefire Surge Black USB

A game pad that features high-quality 50-million-click Omron switches. The model is made of high quality plastic. There is a circular RGB backlight of the pulsating type. The installed sensor provides a resolution of 16000 DPI. The manipulator is designed for the right and left hand. Thanks to the symmetrical body.

The polling rate of the device is 1000 Hz. The device weighs about 100 grams. The state-of-the-art Pixart 3389 optical sensor provides positioning accuracy as well as fast response. Thanks to the wide stickers on the bottom of the case, the mouse moves smoothly on any surface. But the best results are achieved when interacting with the rug.

The mouse has a pleasant velvety finish. It is very convenient to cling to it. The hand does not slip even during hot battles. The manipulator has exceptional positioning accuracy. And the vaunted Omron switches last incredibly long. The only drawback concerns the same switches: they are too loud.

A4Tech Bloody J90 Black USB

Game pad with 12 buttons. Suitable for both right-handers and left-handers due to its symmetrical shape. Capable of delivering 5000 DPI using an advanced sensor. The weight of the mouse is decent - as much as 315 grams. For the accuracy of positioning the sight in shooters, this parameter is critical. You can set up different macros and use different modes of operation.

The product is equipped with a 1.8m high quality braided cable. There is a beautiful RGB lighting that can be fully customized according to the user's desires. The side buttons are located both on the right and on the left, which can be inconvenient for a long gaming session for those who are used to using the right hand.

The device looks really nice. The backlighting is great at night.Moreover, it can be comprehensively customized. In games, the mouse behaves well: you can create a large number of macros. Positioning is accurate. The large weight of the manipulator dampens recoil and prevents phantom movements.

Defender Cyber ​​MB-560L USB

The cheapest mouse in our review. Made of cheap thin plastic. Inside is an entry-level sensor with a maximum resolution of 1200 DPI. But it is possible to change the resolution in the range from 200 to 1200. There are no additional keys. Only two main ones and a scroll wheel with a press function.

The design of the manipulator is impressive. The mouse fits well in the hand, but is intended exclusively for right-handers. There is a tri-color RGB backlight. But you cannot customize it. No additional drivers are required to connect to a computer. There is no software for setting up the device.

As they say, cheap and cheerful. The mouse is quite worth its money. It is not very convenient to use it, since it weighs little. In games, positioning is acceptable. But it's far from accurate. The backlight does not turn off even when the PC is turned off. The overall build quality raises questions: there are numerous backlashes and gaps.

Razer DeathAdder Essential Black USB

High-quality manipulator from the cult manufacturer of gaming peripherals. The mouse is designed for right-handed use. A high-quality laser sensor is installed inside, delivering a resolution of 6400 DPI. In this case, the polling frequency is 1000 Hz. The mouse has a one-color backlight (green).

There are 5 programmable keys that can be customized in dedicated software. The manipulator has a long cord in fabric braid, which minimizes the risk of cable breaks. The mouse has an ergonomic body shape. Therefore, it is comfortable to use it even for a long time.

Of course, Razer has a great reputation. But for this mouse, the price is clearly overpriced, since there is nothing unusual about it. Yes, there is a high-quality sensor, precise positioning. But this is where all the bonuses end. It is a quality working tool for the gamer. But nothing more. About some macros and multi-colored backlighting is out of the question.

ASUS ROG Gladius II Origin

A quality product from ASUS based on an LED sensor. Provides a resolution of 12000 DPI, has a set of additional buttons. The oversized feet glide confidently over any surface. There are no problems with positioning. The sensor resolution can be easily switched.

The manipulator has a customizable backlight. It (like macros) is configured in special software on the computer. The shape of the case is ergonomic. But the product is not suitable for left-handed people.The rubberized wheel has a soft ride and is equipped with the ability to push. Fitted with Omron switches that can be easily replaced.

An excellent option for those who need a quality premium manipulator. Positioning accuracy in games is high. The response is minimal. Glides easily on any surface. The ergonomically shaped body allows the mouse to fit comfortably in the hand. Removable Omron switches are great. But the price is very high.

COUGAR Minos X5 Black USB

Minos X5 is a mouse with 12000 DPI LED sensor. It is for the right hand only. There is no symmetrical case here. But there is high-quality plastic and rubber inserts on the sides. The manipulator consists of 6 buttons. Three of them are programmable. The polling rate is 1000 Hz.

Braided wire avoids kinks. The shape of the case is a bit unusual. You need to get used to it. But the sensor provides excellent accuracy. Installed Omron switches for 50 million clicks. There is RGB backlighting, which can be configured in the appropriate software. The manipulator is connected to the computer using the USB interface.

A quality manipulator for gamers with impressive characteristics. The built-in sensor allows you to achieve accuracy in games. The response is minimal, which is useful for shooters. The shape of the body is such that you need to get used to the manipulator. But even with this amendment, the ergonomics are impressive.

Redragon Legend Chroma Black USB

A real monster with 24 buttons. 16 of them are located on the side panel. Any actions can be assigned to them. Just such manipulators are used in MMORPGs. A sensor with a resolution of 24000 DPI is installed. This is an unprecedented result. Customizable RGB lighting included. The body is made of high quality plastic. The mouse is designed for the right hand.

Another feature is the presence of removable weights of 2.5 grams each. This allows you to adjust the weight of the device as comfortably as possible. To control all the features of the mouse (and especially the additional buttons), you will have to download the appropriate software from the official website.

I bought this monster specifically for World of Warcraft. The product is perfect for this toy. All skills can be configured simply by mouse buttons. This allows you to react as quickly as possible to changing situations. Sensor resolution provides precise positioning and low response. But you have to spend a lot of time getting used to the manipulator.

How to choose the right mouse

Since there are so many of these products on the market, choosing the right mouse becomes difficult. Moreover, some of their characteristics are similar. We should talk about which parameters you need to pay attention to first. After all, not all of them affect the performance during the game.These are the key features of manipulators.

• Sensor type. There are LED and laser optical sensors. The choice should be made depending on the conditions of use of the manipulator. The laser sensor is good for cordless mice as it requires less power to operate. That saves battery power. Also, laser mice can even run on glass and mirrors. LED sensors are used in classic PC manipulators. They have similar characteristics, but they consume more power and cannot work on glass surfaces, since the LED beam cannot be reflected from them.
• Sensor resolution. The higher it is, the faster the manipulator will react to movement. Also, with the help of high resolution, higher accuracy can be achieved. For a gaming mouse, the optimal resolution starts at 3000 DPI. But it is better if the device has the ability to change the resolution applicable to the circumstances. Then it will be possible in shooters to easily switch to sniper mode, where you need to target the enemy by pixels. Do not purchase models with 1200 DPI or less. This won't be enough for games.
• Body shape. Since the mouse is the most important working tool, it should be comfortable to work with. The ergonomic body follows the natural curves of the palm for maximum comfort when playing and working. But the main problem is that it is unrealistic for a left-hander to choose such an option. Here you need a manipulator with a symmetrical body shape for the right and left hands.
• Additional buttons. Useful if you need to assign any actions to them. This allows you to automate some of the steps in the game, which significantly saves time. However, it is bad if there are too many of these buttons. It becomes inconvenient to use such a mouse: the number of accidental clicks increases.
