There are few relationships in the PC gaming world that are as important as the one between a gamer and his or her mouse. That's why it's so important to pick the absolute best gaming mouse. It's the most direct connection you have to whatever game you're playing (no offense to the keyboards reading this). On top of the amount of time spent holding it, the mouse also plays a huge role in games too, since a comfortable, accurate mouse will help you dominate while an unwieldy one will just lead to disaster. Not to overstate it, but from a gaming perspective choosing the right mouse is literally a matter of life or death.
We've sampled some of the finest gaming mice available, and would like to offer you our picks for what we think are the best mice for Mac and PC. Note there are several subcategories of mice - best mouse for MOBAs, wired and wireless mice options, and plenty more which we haven't covered yet, but we will in a future update. For now we're just looking at the best all-around mice for gaming, first person shooters, and daily drivers.
Corsair Gaming M65 Pro RGB
The Corsair M65 Pro RGB (See it on Amazon) / (See it on Amazon UK) is a specialized weapon designed specifically for right-handed, claw-grip gamers who play first person shooters. Out of all the mice we tested recently it was the most accurate and the most comfortable, which is really all that matters. We dig its aluminum body, which gives it a distinctly rigid feeling in your hand, and it also includes a custom weight system as well so you can tailor its heft to your liking. What really puts the M65 Pro RGB over the top though isn't its RGB lighting, which we don't really care about, but rather its Sniper button located in the thumb area. When depressed it lowers the mouse's DPI for more accurate tracking, letting us fire off a precise headshot then go back to run-and-gun in games like Battlefield 1. It's even available in white.
Razer DeathAdder Chroma
Not everyone grips their mouse with their fingertips. Some people like to lay their palm over the length of the mouse and let their fingers dance upon the buttons. For these folks we think the Razer Deathadder Chroma(See it on Amazon) / (See it on Amazon UK) is hands-down the best mouse because it's as comfortable as a velvet bathrobe and as accurate as a weather forecast in Siberia. Unlike a lot of high falutin mice with weights and customizable grips and more buttons than the Space Shuttle, the DeathAdder keeps it simple with just the basics; including buttons for left-and-right click, forward/back, and a mouse wheel. On paper, it doesn't sound like much really, but once we slid our palm over the contoured top and rested our fingers on its scooped buttons, we knew we had found the mouse of our dreams. Even better; the DeathAdder we reviewed was recently updated and is now called the DeathAdder Elite, adding DPI switching and a more precise sensor.
Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum
Perhaps you're the type of right-handed gamer who wants total and complete control over every facet of your mouse's feeling and operation. If you fall into this camp the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum (See it on Amazon) / (See it on Amazon UK) is right up your alley since it offers 11 programmable buttons, weights that let you fine-tune its handling, and the option for a clicky scroll wheel or one that spins smoothly. You can even calibrate its internal camera for your specific mousing surface, and it has RGB lighting to boot.
SteelSeries Rival 300
Sometimes you don't want a bunch of doodads getting in the way of your gaming, and the Steel Series Rival 300 (See it on Amazon) / (See it on Amazon UK) is designed for gamers with simple demands. It combines precise control with basic features including six programmable buttons, a high resolution optical sensor, sweat-proof side grips, and a simple button layout. Mice don't get much more straightforward than this.
G.Skill Ripjaws MX780
If you're a left-handed gamer you're probably feeling left out of the proceedings, so this one is for you. The G.Skill Ripjaws MX780 (See it on Amazon) / (See it on Amazon UK) is a modular mouse that can be adjusted to either right-or-left handed gamers, and also includes the ability to adjust the height of the palm rest, so you can lower it for a palm grip or raise it for a claw grip. You can also add weights to it in order to bolster its mass, and its unique lighting system indicates current DPI settings too. It's also pretty sweet if you're into Transformers.
HyperX Pulsefire FPS
The Pulsefire FPS is the first mouse from Kingston's HyperX gaming division, and it's a winner (See it on Amazon UK). Though it doesn't bring any new technology to the table, it was built with the best current technology, including Omrom switches and a Pixart sensor, making it a Frankenstein of awesomness. Its shape is reminiscent of the Razer Deathadder (scroll up to compare) and it also features on-the-fly DPI switching too, along with red LEDs for that "gaming" look. It doesn't include any software, making it literally plug-and-play, so while that makes it easy to operate the downside is you can't customize any of its features.
