Without the implicit body horror, obviously.
After all, what piece of hardware could make your life more comfortable than one you operate by touch?
To help with the search, we present the very best gaming mice weve tested ourselves.
In any case, this guide aims to like a range of tastes.
And, indeed, hand sizes.
Just look at the reader favourite Logitech G502, which has sat atop this list for bloomin’years.
Good choice - I use one regularly as part of the main RPS test rig.
The slight hitch is that the originalProteusSpectrum model only seems available at bizarrely inflated prices.
This wheel also has a free-spinning mode, one of the Basilisks many similarities with the Logitech G502 series.
The Pro Wireless is also one of the most tasteful gaming mice, design-wise.
Its absolutely not too flimsy, either.
Ive also used, and enjoyed, thePulsefire Haste 2 Wireless.
Its also easily one of the lightest wireless gaming mice Ive tried, at just 61g.
The Ironclaw RGB also offers more functionality than the mildly equally unassumingSteelseries Rival 310.
All in all, it’s a great value mouse.
Yet even I can see the petite appeal of theSteelSeries Aerox 3and its cable-cutting variant, theAerox 3 Wireless.
On the wired Kone XP, its a lot looser, and therefore much easier to press by accident.
Plus, the Viper is nicely light, coming in at just 69g.
Razer’s Synapse 3 software gives you loads of customisation options, too.
It’s used to measure a gaming mouse’s sensitivity.
The higher the DPI number, the more sensitive your gaming mouse will be.
CPI:Counts Per Inch, and another way of describing a mouse’s sensitivity speed.
This is often only used by Steelseries, though, and is pretty much identical to DPI.
Polling rate:How many times the mouse communicates its position to your PC, per second.
A 500Hz polling rate, for example, would report 500 times each second.
In everyday use, though, it’s very uncomfortable.
Fingertip grip:Another bang out of mouse grip.
If you favour this grip, you’ll probably want a mouse with extra grippy sides.
Palm grip:This style of mouse grip involves resting your entire hand on the mouse.
It’s probably how you’re holding your mouse right now.
