The most famous companies producing mice. The best gaming mice

To choose a good mouse, it’s not enough to go to the store and point your finger at the first one you come across. It is necessary to take into account several important criteria that will determine the ease of use of the manipulator.

• DPI. The optical sensor resolution, or DPI, is the first thing you need to consider before purchasing a gaming mouse. The larger this parameter, the faster the cursor moves across the screen. So, for example, when using a mouse with a resolution of 800 DPI, the cursor will move much slower than on a mouse with 12,000 DPI. In shooters, a player with a high-resolution optical mouse sensor will have an advantage.

  Modern manipulators can switch between different sensor resolutions “on the fly”: for example, in everyday use of the OS, the user can make the cursor movements a little slower, and in games – speed them up. Therefore, it is worth choosing a mouse that contains a wide range of sensor resolution settings - for example, 800 - 10000 DPI, with small adjustment increments.

• Response speed. To simplify, this indicator is responsible for the time it takes for the mouse to exchange information with the computer. The shorter this time, the better, so you should pay attention to this parameter when choosing a mouse for shooters. Response speed is measured in milliseconds or hertz (1ms = 1000Hz).
• Additional keys. This criterion for choosing a mouse is individual for everyone: some need more auxiliary buttons, others only need the main ones. Of course, you can attach multi-command macros to additional buttons that perform a sequence of actions in one click, but in most shooters you can do without them.
• Appearance and ergonomics. The mouse should fit comfortably in your hand - this is the main thing. Let it be technologically perfect, but if the gamer is uncomfortable using it, he will not get any pleasure from the game. Therefore, it is important to hold the mouse in your hand before purchasing, evaluate its weight, dimensions, shape, quality of material, and the elasticity of the buttons when pressed. Regarding the appearance, everything is individual: some people don’t like extra tinsel, others care about the presence of lighting, beautiful stickers and other decorations.
• Branded software. Many mouse manufacturers release additional software to fine-tune the mouse. With it, you can reassign keys, record macros, and save separate profiles for several users. The presence of high-quality software will be a pleasant addition to a good gaming mouse for shooters.
• Other options. LED or laser, wired or wireless, USB or PS/2 – it all depends on the seriousness of the gamer’s intentions. An eSports player will definitely choose a wired mouse (with durable fabric braiding, with gold-plated connectors) with a laser optical sensor, regardless of the high cost of such models. An unpretentious player will only need a more modest LED mouse, and for convenience, a wireless mouse: to indulge your soul in some shooter in the comfort of your own home, you don’t have to shell out a huge amount for a professional mouse.

What to Buy: Best Gaming Mice for Shooters

The gaming controller market offers a huge selection of models to suit every taste. It is very easy to get confused in this variety, so we have compiled a small list of mice that are worth paying attention to in the store.

A4Tech Bloody V8M

A budget option, which, however, is not inferior to more expensive models. High-quality assembly, fabric-braided wire, pleasant dim lighting, well-gliding metal legs, switches with a resource of 10 million clicks - this mouse will serve its owner for a very long time.

Among the features of this model, we can note three additional buttons next to the wheel, switching firing modes: one, two and three shots, as well as functions that allow you to compensate for the recoil from weapons in games. There is also a wireless version of this mouse - A4Tech Bloody R8 metal feet Skull design, which stands out for its aggressive design.

Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury

The world's fastest (according to the manufacturer) gaming mouse with a sensor that provides tracking speeds of up to 500 inches per second. The manipulator is made of high-quality plastic with rubberized inserts that prevent your hand from slipping even in the hottest online battles.

8 programmable buttons and proprietary software are available for configuration. The device also has a built-in gyroscope and accelerometer, which prevent the sensor from losing contact with the surface.

Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum

A gaming mouse with a wide range of features. The user can adjust the weight of the manipulator using weights, customize 11 programmable buttons, set the color mode and lighting effects (and synchronize it with other Logitech devices thanks to proprietary software), instantly switch between several levels of optical sensor resolution, and save profiles for various games.

As expected, the mouse is made of high-quality materials: slightly rough plastic, a fabric-braided cable, mechanical key microswitches.

Corsair M65 Pro RGB

The mouse has a body made of aircraft-grade aluminum, which makes it very light and at the same time durable. To further adjust the weight, weights are used, with which you can change the position of the center of gravity of the manipulator depending on the playing style.

A high-precision optical sensor with a resolution of 100 to 12,000 DPI in conjunction with proprietary software allows you to achieve highly accurate movement tracking regardless of the surface. There is a special sniper button on the side of the mouse that instantly lowers the sensor resolution when the player needs ultra-precise aiming control.

Zalman ZM-GM4

When looking at this model, the first thing that attracts attention is its unusual design. The futuristic appearance is combined with the excellent practicality of the mouse - the transformable design allows you to flexibly adjust the size of the case to suit any hand: just take the screwdriver that comes in the kit, tighten a few screws - and the gadget will become longer or shorter, wider or narrower, depending on the wishes of the owner.

In addition to size and weight, the functions of the mouse can also be customized: you can program buttons, change DPI, save profiles of different users, and so on.

Mad Catz R.A.T. PRO S

Another model that stands out for its unusual design. Here the manufacturer has provided even more customization options than in the previous version of our list: you can change the size of the case, the angle of the backrest, replace sensors, add or remove additional pads such as a pad for the little finger. Of course, software functions are also subject to flexible configuration: the user can reassign buttons, create profiles for individual games, change the sensor resolution “on the fly,” and so on.

The Mad Catz company positions the R.A.T. model. PRO S is like a mouse for eSports tournaments, which means that it is of high quality, reliability and ergonomics.

SteelSeries Sensei RAW

When developing this model, engineers apparently were guided by the principle “simpler is better.” A design without unnecessary bells and whistles, a small number of buttons, a symmetrical shape - the SteelSeries Sensei RAW mouse is suitable for those who value convenience and simplicity.

At the same time, the model is made in a durable case with a soft-touch coating, is equipped with proprietary software that allows you to flexibly configure mouse functions, record macros and save separate profiles for different users and games, and also carries on board a high-quality sensor with a resolution from 90 to 5700 DPI, 1ms response time and tracking speed up to 150 inches per second.

Conclusion

There is no perfect mouse for everyone. However, using this selection, you can narrow down the choice to a few options that suit your preferences and find the model with which your gaming sessions will only end in victories.

Professional computer game players carefully and scrupulously approach the selection and purchase of a computer mouse, so the devices produced for them are quite different from ordinary office pointing devices. They have more powerful sensors, they clearly and efficiently interpret the mechanics of movements, and the external shape of the body is convenient and ergonomic for use. Due to the high competition in this business area, the main manufacturers of gaming mice are constantly modernizing and improving their most promising models, adding additional functions useful to gamers to their design.

If you are interested in purchasing these devices, then we suggest considering our top 10 best mouse options for computer games at the beginning of 2017, based on parameters such as price, quality and functionality.

1. Razer DeathAdder Elite: Tried and Reliable Quality

The DeathAdder model range began to be produced by the manufacturer more than ten years ago, and during this time the appearance of the manipulator has remained virtually unchanged: Razer only makes additional improvements to each new model in the series, without risking changing the successful external design of the device.

Several side buttons were added to the Elite gaming mouse, and additional keys were also installed to change the optical resolution of the sensor. The case is made of matte plastic with rubber inserts; connection to a PC is via a wired USB interface. Available resolution: 100-16000 dpi. The backlight is purely decorative and only illuminates the scroll wheel and the company logo on the outer panel.

Advantages of the model:

• Powerful and widely adjustable optical sensor;
• Improved shape of Teflon legs;
• Convenient body shape to hold.

Flaws:

• The small rubber insert for the thumb will be inconvenient for people with large hands;
• Slight play of individual keys.

One of the customer reviews: “I’ve been using a regular desader for more than 5 years, only the paint has peeled off. CS:GO, WorldofWarcraft every day - the mouse is just space”

2. Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum: the perfect mouse for any eSports genre

It turns out that even chaos can be ideal. The best proof of this fact is the G900 model released by Logitech. High sensor resolution (12000 dpi), light weight, impressive and rich equipment - this is just a small list of the advantages of the proposed device. Its characteristics will suit both fans of strategy and role-playing games, as well as fans of shooters.

The first will like the presence of a large number of buttons, the ergonomic shape of the mouse and the ability to use a wireless connection with a personal computer, the second will like the convenient scrolling of the wheel and professional software for setting individual parameters. If you are skeptical about a wireless connection and think that the response in this mode is not fast enough, you can use a special detachable cable to connect the mouse to a personal computer via a USB port. The battery built into the case can work continuously for 36 hours, and fully charging a discharged battery takes very little time.

Advantages of the model:

• Clear and soft keystrokes;
• Universal symmetrical mouse shape, convenient for both right-handers and left-handers;
• Powerful built-in battery;
• Work in several modes of connection to a PC.

Flaw:

• Price.

3. Cougar Minos X3: a solid and reliable mid-ranger

An excellent option for those who, when purchasing a gaming controller, care not only about quality, but also about price. The changeable resolution range of the optical sensor (400-3200 dpi) will allow you to feel comfortable while participating in games of any genre. The side panels of the mouse have special inserts for comfortable grip of the device with your fingers.

The scrolling wheel scrolls quite easily; on the left side, on the rubberized side, there are two additional buttons. The mouse is connected to the computer using a USB cable; there is no need to install additional software to connect the mouse. The backlight color can be changed by pressing a button located on the top of the case, behind the scroll wheel.

Advantages of the model:

• Affordable price;
• Durability;
• Convenient scrolling;
• Adjustable backlight.

• Low quality nylon cable: over time it begins to constantly twist;
• The mouse is designed for right-handers: a left-handed person is unlikely to be able to use the side buttons.

4. SteelSeries Rival 700 or construction mouse for Dota 2 players

An interesting device project, the main advantage of which is considered to be its modular design: if desired, you can replace the top cover of the mouse, keys, and also change the long cord to a shorter one. All additional components are provided in the initial configuration. The second plus is the provided software for several games, among which is the beloved Dota 2. Using the “Steel Series Engine”, you can customize the tactile response of the manipulator to some game moments: a drop in the level of life or stun. The device also has a built-in black and white screen to transmit additional information from game projects.

Advantages of the model:

• Modular design;
• Extensive initial equipment.

Flaws:

• A small number of game projects supported by the manufacturer's software.

5. Razer Naga Hex V2 – a device for fans of fast and convenient witchcraft

An excellent option for players who play multiplayer role-playing games or battle arena-type projects: Dota 2, League of Legend. The manipulator has one of the most high-precision sensors built into it, producing 16,000 dpi, so the mouse cursor responds perfectly to the player’s input. The well-thought-out ergonomics of the device ensures good grip between the hand and the mouse. A pleasant surprise for right-handers will be the presence on the left side of the case of a separate set of buttons, combined into one rotating circle. The keys are fully programmable; the third version of the “Steel Series Engine” program is responsible for this function.

Advantages of the model:

• Availability of software configurations for the most popular MOBA projects;
• High sensor resolution;
• Built-in laser sensor;
• Button for switching sensor power mode.

Flaws:

• Another mouse designed for right-handers.

6. Logitech G502 – mouse with weight adjustment

For a number of players, lightweight mice are a real curse: due to the insufficient weight of the manipulator, they feel constant discomfort, which prevents them from fully concentrating on the gameplay. Logitech has solved this problem by preparing a new mouse for its customers with the ability to adjust its weight. For this purpose, you can use several weights included in the package: in total, the weight of the mouse can be increased by almost 20 grams. Otherwise, in terms of its technical parameters, the manipulator is similar to the G900 model described above, with a slight deterioration in the characteristics of the optical sensor: in this model it produces only 12,000 dpi, although this figure is more than enough for comfortable playing in projects of any type.

Advantages of the model:

• 11 programmable manipulator elements;
• Ability to change weight;
• Backlight, customizable.

Flaws:

• When pulling out, the weight change weights may get stuck.

7. Corsair Saber: Ultra-precise mouse for lightning-fast strikes

The opposite of the Logitech mouse described above - this manipulator will appeal to gamers who prefer devices that are lightweight and quickly slide across the mat. Also, most players will like the model because of its affordable price: unfortunately, this result was achieved by reducing the set of useful functionality of the device.

Advantages of the model:

• Wired mouse with fast response;
• 11 programmable buttons;
• Light weight and easy glide.

Flaws:

• For right-handed people;
• Minimum equipment.

8. G.Skill Ripjaws MX780: A highly customizable gaming controller

A mouse with a lightweight aluminum frame onto which several individual modules can be attached and adjusted. You can change the angle of inclination of the panels in the vertical and horizontal plane. It is freed from the “right-handed disease” that most top models of manipulators suffer from: on both sides of the case there are two customizable keys for pressing with the thumb.

Advantages of the model:

• Unique adjustment options;
• A large number of programmable controls.

Flaws:

• The keys are not strong enough;
• You can feel some play in the elements when adjusting the panels to individual parameters.

9. SteelSeries Rival 500: a device with proven ergonomics and convenient key layout

This mouse can rightfully be considered one of the best new products of the year. It seems like it was specially created for comfortable play in multiplayer role-playing games. Unlike competitors' models, in this device the keys are not concentrated in compact groups at certain points on the mouse, but are evenly distributed throughout the entire body. Bottom line: the user gets his hands on 15 adjustable and customizable buttons, with comfortable access to each of them.

Advantages of the model:

• Convenient and rich functionality;
• Advanced customization options.

Flaws:

• High price.

10. Corsair Harpoon: a budget option with the capabilities of top models

A compact mouse with a matte black body is unlikely to surprise a sophisticated gamer with its appearance. However, after comparing the price and technical capabilities, players who do not have the opportunity to spend a lot of money on purchasing the best gaming controllers will choose this model. Most reviews have clearly proven that the response to influences of this mouse is the same as that of models from the top list.

Advantages:

• Powerful optical sensor;
• Low price.

• Right-handed only.

For convenient work, we need various devices, including a computer mouse. Previously, the mouse was equipped with a rubber roller, but now it works wirelessly using Bluetooth technology, helping us both in work and in leisure (playing games, watching movies, surfing the Internet). The variety of models presented in the rapidly developing market clearly highlights how progress, guided by the needs of users, meets the needs of the time.

The best computer mice of 2018 are characterized by a number of indicators, for example, high DPI (dots per inch), the presence of wireless technologies, ergonomics, etc. For each person, the characteristics of the best mouse are different, and as you read this review, you will be able to choose exactly your option, whether it is the most comfortable or equipped with a huge number of buttons and functions, or simply reliable and durable.

1. Logitech MX Anywhere 2

A universal and multifunctional, but not out-of-the-ordinary mouse.

• Buttons: 6
• Ergonomics: right hand
• Peculiarities: Scroll wheel, Logitech Darkfield laser sensor, Unifying receiver, Easy-Switch technology, gesture function

MX Anywhere 2 is smaller than Logitech's flagship MX Master, making it a better option for travel enthusiasts. It connects via Bluetooth or 2.4Ghz wifi (using a Logitech dongle) to up to three devices and has low tracking latency so it works great on shiny surfaces. Like MX Master, the scroll wheel can rotate freely, pressing it allows you to scroll down long pages without hurting your fingers. Logitech says the mouse's 2 non-rechargeable batteries will last up to 60 days.

2. Logitech MX Master

The mouse looks like a spaceship.

• DPI: 1000
• Interface: USB
• Buttons: 5
• Ergonomics: Vertical
• Peculiarities: useful for the prevention of hand diseases and for those who already have this new computer disease - carpal tunnel syndrome

The mouse is vertical, as if you are holding someone's hand. It feels strange, but it is comfortable and will not allow your hand to move as much as regular mice do, reducing the load on your hand. Moreover, it is relatively inexpensive. One downside is that the thumb buttons don't work on Mac computers. If you are looking for the best mice of 2018 (especially with an emphasis on the unusual design, as well as those that are not harmful to the health and even prevent diseases of PC users), this model is one of the best in this category.

4. Apple Magic Mouse 2

As always, Apple doesn't think like everyone else

• DPI: 1300
• Interface: Bluetooth
• Buttons: 0
• Ergonomics: Symmetrical
• Peculiarities: Multi-touch

This mouse, although it looks fantastic, has symmetrical ergonomics and multi-touch, and is also quite expensive, has its critics, who nevertheless believe that this is the most uncomfortable mouse from Apple. However, everyone's tastes are different and many people like how it glides smoothly across the table (more smoothly than the 1st version) and it does not have regular batteries, but has a built-in rechargeable one (although you will not be able to use the mouse while charging - due to the position of the Lightning port ).

5. Logitech Triathlon M270

• Peculiarities: 24 months of battery life on AA battery, Ergonomic design, free-rotating scroll wheel, Easy-switch technology, Logitech software

Thanks to Easy-switch technology, you can easily switch between several computers at the same time (up to 3 devices). Super fast scrolling and scrolling with clicks is one of the good options of this mouse. Designed for 10 million clicks and 24 months of operation - that’s why the word “Triathlon” is in the name of the mouse - a sport for the most enduring. Even more options are revealed to Windows and MacOs owners after downloading special software from Logitech. This model easily falls into the category of the best mice of 2018.

6. Logitech M330 Silent Plus

Silent mouse for those who like to work quietly at the computer.

• DPI: 1000
• Interface: Wireless connection operating at 2.4 GHz frequency
• Buttons: 3
• Ergonomics: right hand
• Peculiarities: Quiet buttons, 10m wireless coverage, 2 AA batteries (claimed 24 months battery life)

It's not the most feature-rich mouse on the market, but its quiet operation and compact size, user-friendly design, and long battery life make it a great choice—not just for frequent travelers, but also for people with easily irritated coworkers. One of the disadvantages is the lack of connection with Bluetooth.

7. Mad Catz R.A.T. ProX Precision Gaming

• Interface: USB
• Buttons: 10

This mouse is quite expensive, but for game lovers and eSports players it is one of the best options. At the very least, she clearly looks unusual, and she can do a lot. For example, with analog strafe technology, this mouse turns the scroll wheel into an analog joystick, so you can move around enemies, dodge, and do other movements that would be a problem with a regular mouse.

8. Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Mouse 3600

Cheap, convenient, fun and lasts forever.

• DPI: 1000
• Interface: Bluetooth
• Buttons: 2
• Ergonomics: Symmetrical
• Peculiarities: No

You may be confused by the word Microsoft in the name of the mouse, but it deserves attention. Bluetooth technology allows you to connect to your computer without using USB dongles. In addition, the mouse operates for one year on one battery, which, you see, is quite a rare occurrence in the world of computer mice. In addition, it is suitable for both right-handed and left-handed people. Of course, it doesn't have a lot of buttons, it can't transform into something and save the world, but otherwise it's quite good, convenient and reliable.

9.Razer DeathAdder Chroma

• Interface: USB
• Buttons: 5
• Ergonomics: right hand

10. Cherry MC 4000 Precision

The manufacturer of a computer mouse should not be your main and guiding criterion when choosing and purchasing a computer mouse. This matter has its own, rather specific moments. Let's analyze the most popular, reliable and recognized companies in the world that produce computer mice for us.

The best computer mice

• A4Tech— this company is very practical and well-known. It occupies a significant market segment. It is loved by both gamers (lovers of computer games) and ordinary users of personal computers. These computer mice have an aesthetically attractive appearance. It is made from materials that make using the product a comfortable and enjoyable process. The mice of this company have numerous functions, various buttons, and acceleration of movement. All this makes her popular and desirable. I highly recommend such devices for fans of computer games and for those who actively and often use a personal computer or laptop.

• Logitech– The products of this company are widely known. The quality of products from this company is traditionally high. It is worth noting that the best Logitech computer mice, combined with an excellent set of functions, have a high cost. This company also produces budget computer mice that are accessible to any user. They are also not bad, but their appearance and feature set are less than that of more expensive devices. This company is recommended by numerous specialized sites for those users who want to purchase a quality product.

• Razer. The model from this manufacturer is ideal for the amateur. This mouse has great functionality. It has all the modern options and functions. Buying a Razer mouse cheaply is now almost impossible. If you managed to accomplish this, then you are really lucky. Not every user has enough money to purchase such a computer mouse. Their only disadvantage is their increased cost. I do not recommend buying the most expensive models. They have a lot of built-in functions and features that have absolutely no practical use. It is better to buy a less expensive but more functional option.

• Genius. We consider this manufacturer to be one of the best companies on the market. The price range of their devices is quite wide. Prices start at $10. These computer mice have an excellent and aesthetically attractive appearance. The service life of the device is quite long, it really will be the best choice for people who want to spend minimal money and get high quality, durability and reliability. We recommend this model.

• Apple– every user who is at least a little aware of modern technologies should know about the existence of this most popular company. Steve Jobs' company produces its own computer mice. If you use an operating system, then buying an Apple mouse will be useless. You will only spend significant money. In order for these products to work with your operating system, you will be forced to install numerous programs to synchronize the operation. Such a program will significantly reduce the number of functions of a computer mouse.

What about Microsoft, you ask. Computer mice created by this company will be perfectly combined with the Windows operating system. By choosing a device from this company, you only acquire the logo of a well-known company. Its technical characteristics are in no way superior (and sometimes even inferior) to those of similar companies.

The mouse is the main weapon of a gamer, on which the revelation of his potential and gaming skills directly depends. The use of advanced gaming devices not only allows you to get a unique gaming experience and increase the enjoyment of the process, but also gives you a certain advantage over your competitors, since any actions using a gaming mouse can be performed faster, more accurately and with better quality.

The main difference between a gaming mouse and a regular mouse is the increased DPI (cursor sensitivity), shorter response time to clicks, and the ability to fine-tune these parameters to suit your needs. Also, mice often have additional function keys on which you can record macros and various commands, which gives even greater control over the gameplay.

The range of gaming mice is extremely diverse; there are hundreds of options that differ from each other in characteristics, weight and ergonomics. You need to choose a gadget for yourself; a huge advantage is the ability to hold the mouse in your hands before purchasing and determine whether it suits your playing style.

Thanks to the symmetrical shape of the body, Q6 is ideal for grip by both right and left hands, but it is worth considering that the mouse is relatively large in size and considerable weight - almost 210 grams.
