Have you ever wondered just how many gaming mice are out there? Quite a few, that’s how many, and they just keep on coming. New releases, tweaks of old designs, upgrades to sensors, special editions. The gaming mouse market moves fast so we decided to try and help with this gaming mouse buying guide.
It’s a list of all of the gaming mice out there (or at least the ones I’ve thought of so far) and a summary of their features. Now you can compare mouse A with mouse B to see which is the best gaming mouse. Whether you’re left or right handed, want loads of buttons or very few, wired or wireless, laser or optical sensor, you should be able to find a mouse that meets your needs.
You can sort the table by clicking on the column headers, each click changing the direction of the sort. If you want to sort by multiple columns, hold down the Shift key and click on each column header. Click on the price column to head on over to Amazon to buy or see what else is on offer.
