HOW TO CHOOSE A MOUSE - choose a wireless gaming mouse for a laptop and for a computer, which is better to buy - laser or optical

According to the principle of operation, mice are divided into laser and optical. Make your choice:

  • laser. High resolution sensor and super precision cursor. Gamers, everything for you! Unpretentious to surfaces. Works on uneven, mirrored and glass. Less likely to need to replace batteries;

  • optical (LED). A diode is installed inside that determines the movement of the cursor. Not "so hot" abilities (such a mouse works worse on a mirror or glossy surface) are compensated by a low price with good characteristics.

Mouse sensitivity and resolution are measured in dots per inch (dpi). The higher the value, the more accurate the mouse is. The range ranges from 400 to 4000 dpi.

Mouse selection by shape

A good gaming mouse is like a woman. Sophisticated connoisseurs are interested in programmable or touch buttons, better silent and even with a double click, and sensitivity adjustment. Unpretentious people choose a mouse in shape so that it fits comfortably in the palm of their hand.

There are two ways to choose the right mouse shape.

  1. Test each mouse on a special stand in a gaming device store and choose "your" one.
  2. Try the mice of friends, compare with the one you are using now, fall in love with the best one.

Which mouse to buy - wired or wireless?

A wired mouse is faster. It is more reliable wireless. No need to recharge or replace batteries. Accepts several options for the connection interface:

  • PS / 2 responds with lightning speed to the command. Reliable connector, but gradually disappears into history;
  • USB is the most common option. Convenient and practical.
  • PS / 2 and USB - high precision operation and control. A worthy replacement for a traditional mechanical mouse. Wireless "rodents" need recharging, but not annoying with tangled wires. Portable and compact. Appreciated by those who are constantly working or playing on the road.

Mice have the following connection options:

  • Bluetooth. Slow response speed. But it does not occupy the USB port;
  • Radio channel. Stable communication and fast response speed. Minus one free port;
  • Wi-Fi. Low power consumption in the wireless category. Best for laptop.

How to choose a mouse for a laptop and for a computer

The ideal computer mouse is a utopia. But you can get closer to perfection.

  • Regular wired - for all the same unpretentious comrades. Great for working with documents. Appearance is not the main thing here. But if you want something like that, choose a brighter one.

  • For video games, choose a heavy-duty gaming mouse with a sensitive sensor. And in general, ideal - models with customizable weight and shape.
  • Do you process images or frequently monitor sites? Fast scrolling mice automatically adjust from step scrolling to super fast scrolling. Works on any surface, even glass.

Multi-button customizable mice are equally good for PC and laptop. Tolerant. With the same obedience, they "back up" when copying, cutting and pasting information. Fits comfortably under the fingers of both left-handers and right-handers.

How to choose a gaming mouse

Decide on the purpose

For adventures like Dota or other specialized games, specially designed models are suitable. For example, Razer Naga or Logitech G600. If you don't have your favorite games, choose a universal manipulator with a minimum number of buttons.

Selecting the shape of the mouse

Everything here is individual. "Rodents" for right-handers are standard and symmetrical. For left-handers, they are also comfortable and suitable for the right hand. The buttons are within reach of the fingers. They are invaluable in fast-paced games.

Price question

Have chosen a form, decide on a budget. Information about this - the mass, reviews and forums - a dime a dozen. Just know that the main criterion influencing cost is the sensor. Its quality directly affects the quality of the entire device. The best sensors are Avago.

Switches

The most famous and quality ones are Omron switches. Perfectly prevents double clicks.

Avoid TDC switches.

Mouse wire

Pay attention to the wire. The cord should be braided and raised as much as possible. This way it won't rub and make a lot of noise.
