Which Features do good Gaming Mice need?

When it comes to the best gaming mice on the current market, there are certain key features that every mouse needs to be included:

1. Flawless optical Sensor with no mouse correction

Most of today’s – mouse sensors have features like mouse acceleration, mouse correction or angle snapping that heavily influence how your mouse signal is actually processed. For gamers (especially FPS gamers) the key feature is having the best sensor available on the market that has zero flaws.

2. Good amount of high-quality Mouse Buttons

This one is especially important for MMO games: good gaming mice will have at least five mouse buttons you can put custom binds on. In some games you just need these additional spin mouse buttons to control certain spells or switch to specific weapons. Some mice are specifically made for MMOs and have more than ten additional buttons – which is perfect for World of Warcraft, but just too much for Battlefield for example.

3. Optimized Design & Durability for eSports Purposes

There are certain design elements that make gaming mice different from “regular” mice: Gaming mice tend to be lighter or have customizable weights added so you can adjust the weight to your liking and move it faster. Additionally, you will have teflon strips or something similar so your mouse movement can be as fast as possible. Finally (in order to have your gaming mouse as long as possible) the mouse buttons are designed to last for more millions of clicks than regular ones.

Why didn’t you include Gaming Mouse X or Y?

The key deciding factor which mouse to include in this list was:

Do actual eSports professionals use this Mouse?

Being a professional gamer myself I know that pro gamers are the most picky ones when it comes to equipment. Chosing a mouse from all the gaming mice on the market is one of the biggest and most personal decisions of eSports professionals. I have checked the gaming equipment of pro gamers cheap mlb jerseys in League of Legends, StarCraft and cheap jerseys so on in Europe, North America and Korea for this market overview. All the gaming mice you will see above are actually used by one or more professional gamers throughout the world. Although some gaming mice might have great reviews on Amazon – if no pro gamer on this world uses it, it cannot be recommended as a serious gaming mouse.

Why are there no wireless Gaming Mice?

Well, at first sight wireless gaming mice seem to be better: you do not have to worry about your mouse cable and it will interfere with your mouse movement. But at second sight: there is a reason why no pro gamer uses a cordless mouse! Cordless mice do have a delay when transmitting the signal to the docking station. Although it is really small, it does matter: when you think about your ping in online games you do realize that milliseconds matter. If you’re used to playing with a normal mouse, a wireless mouse will feel different because of the delay. Also, having a battery break down during an important match might be the worst experience ever. Because of this, you will not find a wireless mouse in the gaming mice overview above.
