1. Razer DeathAdder Elite: Proven and reliable quality

The DeathAdder lineup was launched by the manufacturer more than ten years ago, and during this time the appearance of the manipulator has not changed much: Razer makes only additional improvements to each new model of the series, without risking changing the successful external design of the device.

Several side buttons have been added to the Elite gaming mouse, and additional keys have also been installed to change the optical resolution of the sensor. The body 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 wide range adjustable optical sensor;
• Improved shape of Teflon legs;
• Comfortable to hold body shape.

Disadvantages:

• A small rubber insert under the thumb will be inconvenient for people with large hands;
• Small backlash of individual keys.

One of the customer reviews: “I have been using a regular dessader 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 perfect. The best proof of this fact is the G900 model released by Logitech. The high resolution of the sensor (12000 dpi), light weight, impressive and rich equipment - this is just a small list of the advantages of the proposed device. According to its characteristics, it will suit both fans of strategic and role-playing games, and fans of shooters.

The first will appeal to the presence of a large number of buttons, the ergonomic shape of the mouse and the ability to use a wireless connection to a personal computer, the second - a convenient scroll wheel and professional software for customizing settings. If you are skeptical about wireless connection and think that the response in this mode is not fast enough, then you can use a special detachable cable to connect the mouse to a personal computer via a USB port. The built-in battery can work continuously for 36 hours, and it takes very little time to fully charge a discharged battery.

Advantages of the model:

• Clear and soft keystrokes;
• Universal symmetrical shape of the mouse, 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: solid and reliable middling

An excellent option for those who, when buying a game pad, are interested not only in quality, but also in price. The range of resolution of the optical sensor available for changing (400-3200 dpi) will allow you to feel comfortable while participating in games of any genre. On the side panels of the mouse there are special inserts for a comfortable grasp of the device with your fingers.

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

Advantages of the model:

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

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

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

An interesting project of the device, the main advantage of which is considered to be a 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 there is Dota 2 beloved by many. Using the Steel Series Engine, you can adjust the tactile response of the manipulator to some game moments: a drop in the level of life or a stun. Also, a black-and-white screen is built into the device to transfer additional information from game projects.

Advantages of the model:

• Modular design;
• Extensive starter kit.

Disadvantages:

• 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

A great option for players playing role-playing multiplayer games or projects like "battle arena": Dota 2, League of Legend. One of the most high-precision sensors is built into the manipulator, giving out 16000 dpi, so the mouse cursor perfectly responds to player input. Thoughtful ergonomics of the device provides a good grip between the hand and the mouse. A pleasant surprise for right-handers will be the presence of a separate set of buttons on the left side of the case, united in 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 resolution sensor;
• Built-in laser sensor;
• Button for switching the sensor power mode.

Disadvantages:

• Another right-handed mouse.

6. Logitech G502 - mouse with adjustable weight

For some 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 with the ability to adjust its weight for its customers. For this purpose, you can use several weights that come with the package: in total, the weight of the mouse can be weighted by almost 20 grams. Otherwise, in terms of its technical parameters, the manipulator is similar to the above-described G900 model, with a slight deterioration in the characteristics of the optical sensor: in this model it produces only 12000 dpi, although this figure is more than enough for comfortable playing projects of any type.

Advantages of the model:

• 11 programmable manipulator elements;
• Ability to change weight
• Illumination, configurable.

Disadvantages:

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

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

The antipode of the above mouse from Logitech - this manipulator will appeal to gamers who prefer devices that are light and quickly sliding on 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 device functionality.

Advantages of the model:

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

Disadvantages:

• For right-handers;
• Minimum equipment.

8. G.Skill Ripjaws MX780: A gamepad with extensive customization options

A mouse with a lightweight aluminum frame on which several individual modules can be attached and adjusted. You can change the angle 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 your thumb.

Advantages of the model:

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

Disadvantages:

• Insufficiently strong keys;
• You can feel the backlash of the elements when fitting the panels to individual parameters.

9. SteelSeries Rival 500: Ergonomically balanced device with comfortable key layout

You can rightfully consider this mouse one of the best new products of the year. It seems to be specially designed for a comfortable game in multiplayer role-playing games. Unlike the models of competitors in this device, the keys are not concentrated in compact groups at certain points on the mouse, but are evenly distributed throughout the body. Bottom line: the user gets their 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.

Disadvantages:

• High price.

10. Corsair Harpoon: A budget option with top model features

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 big money on buying the best gaming manipulators will opt for this particular model. Most of the reviews have clearly proven that the response to the impact of this mouse is the same as that of the models from the top list.

Advantages:

• Powerful optical sensor;
• Low price.

• For righties only.

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

• DPI. Optical sensor resolution, or DPI, is the first thing you need to consider before buying 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 12000 DPI. In shooters, a player with a high resolution optical mouse sensor will have an advantage.

  Modern manipulators are able to switch between different sensor resolutions on the fly: for example, in everyday use of the OS, the user can make 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 steps.

• 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. The response speed is measured in milliseconds or hertz (1ms = 1000Hz).
• Additional keys. This criterion for choosing a mouse is individual for everyone: someone needs more auxiliary buttons, someone needs only 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 lie comfortably in the hand - this is the main thing. Let it be technologically perfect, but if it is inconvenient for a gamer to use it, he will not get any pleasure from the game. Therefore, it is important to hold the mouse in your hand before buying, evaluate its weight, dimensions, shape, quality of the material, and the elasticity of the buttons when pressed. Regarding the appearance, everything is individual: someone does not like extra tinsel, the presence of lighting, beautiful stickers and other embellishments is important for another.
• Company software. Many mouse manufacturers release additional software for fine-tuning the mouse. With it, you can remap keys, record macros, save separate profiles for multiple users. Having quality software is a nice 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 eSportsman will definitely choose a wired mouse (in a durable fabric sheath, 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, and for convenience - also a wireless mouse: to take your soul away in some kind of shooter in a cozy home environment, it is not at all necessary to lay out a huge amount for a professional manipulator.

What to buy: The best gaming mice for shooters

The market of game manipulators presents a huge selection of models for every taste. It is very easy to get confused in this variety, so we have compiled a small list of mice that you should pay attention to in the store.

A4Tech Bloody V8M

Budget option, which, however, is not inferior to more expensive models. High-quality assembly, wire in a fabric braid, 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.

Of the features of this model, we can note three additional buttons next to the wheel that switch 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, the A4Tech Bloody R8 metal feet Skull design, with an aggressive design.

Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury

The world's fastest (according to the manufacturer) gaming mouse with a sensor that provides tracking speeds 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 customization. Also, a gyroscope and an accelerometer are built into the device, 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, configure 11 programmable buttons, set the color mode and backlight effects (and synchronize it with other Logitech devices thanks to proprietary software), instantly switch between several levels of optical sensor resolution, save profiles for various games.

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

Corsair M65 Pro RGB

The mouse is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, which makes it very light and at the same time strong. For additional weight adjustment, weights are used, with which you can change the position of the center of gravity of the manipulator, depending on the style of play.

A high-precision optical sensor with a resolution of 100 to 12000 DPI in conjunction with proprietary software allows you to achieve high accuracy in tracking movements, regardless of the surface. A special sniper button is placed on the side of the mouse body, which instantly lowers the sensor resolution when the player needs ultra-precise aim control.

Zalman ZM-GM4

When looking at this model, first of all, the unusual design attracts attention. The futuristic appearance is combined with the excellent practicality of the mouse - the transforming design allows you to flexibly adjust the dimensions of the case to any hand: just take the supplied screwdriver, 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, mouse functions can also be configured: you can program buttons, change DPI, save profiles of different users, and so on.

Mad Catz R.A.T. PRO S

Another model with an 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 like a platform for the little finger. Of course, software functions are also subject to flexible settings: the user can reassign buttons, create profiles for individual games, change the sensor resolution on the fly, and so on.

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

SteelSeries Sensei RAW

In developing this model, the engineers, apparently, were guided by the principle "simpler is better." Design without unnecessary "bells and whistles", a small number of buttons, a symmetrical shape - the SteelSeries Sensei RAW mouse is suitable for those who appreciate 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 a high-quality sensor with a resolution of 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, by using this selection, you can narrow down the selection to a few options that suit exactly your preferences, and find the model with which your gaming sessions will end only with victories.

A computer mouse is a peripheral device for navigating the PC operating system. With its help, you can control the so-called "arrow", follow links, start / stop videos and play. In a laptop, this function is performed by the touchpad.

Office workers tend to use conventional models, while gamers prefer sophisticated devices with increased technical characteristics, additional programmable buttons and the ability to set macros.

Mice can be wired or wireless. The first are good with high responsiveness, no need to connect additional power sources, in addition, they are much cheaper. Wireless models will require batteries and an additional module (which may be lost) to connect to the computer. They have high mobility, but at the same time a weaker response.

We have selected for you the top 20 best gaming mice in several price categories based on popularity criteria, rating, specifications and customer reviews.

The best gaming mice: budget from 5000 rubles.

5 Steel Series Rival 310 Black USB

Successful troubleshooting
Country: Denmark
Average price: 5000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

The Rival version was Steel Series' apology to fans after the release of the Sensei. Despite the standard ergonomic shape for the right hand and the same matte plastic with rubber inserts on the sides, the Rival received a better assembly and now the buttons do not rattle or play.

The side buttons are very large and tactile to understand where which is not difficult. The wheel is loud and has medium-definition cutoffs. Despite the fact that it is too much "drowned" in the body, it is still comfortable to use. The sensor has no acceleration and jitter, which makes the model easy to use for competitive dynamic disciplines. The separation height ranges from 1 to 2 mm. Sufficiently thick legs guarantee a long service life, and you will have to try hard to erase them.

4 ASUS ROG Pugio Black USB

Unique customizable gaming device
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 5990 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

Asus is famous for its experiments in the field of technical innovation, and this model is no exception. The shape repeats the outlines of ancient Rome with whom the dagger, sharpening from the top to the bottom. The best grip for her is definitely palmar, since in this case the thumb and little finger fit perfectly into the niches. Function buttons are located on the right side of the case. If desired, they can be easily dismantled, as they are mounted on magnets. Plugs are additionally included in a small box package.

All buttons are characterized by a clear click without backlash. Mikrikki here can be replaced independently, while maintaining the warranty. There are also spare amrons for 1 million clicks, and by default, the mouse has an option with a margin of 50 million. The wheel is equipped with a mechanical encoder with no noise and smooth pressing. Good kink protection is also a disadvantage, which causes the wire to automatically begin to turn down.

3 Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum Black USB

Best Guarantee
Country: Switzerland
Average price: 5290 rubles.
Rating (2019): 5.0

If within 3 years your sensor fails, a button stops working, or a wire just falls off, Logitech will be happy to replace your broken G 502 with a new one, after asking you to dispose of the old one. It has a high DPI of 12000 units. The built-in backlight has 16.8 million different colors and their combinations.

Additionally, weights are included. The cable is long and has a very tight braid. The wheel can operate in two modes - standard and simplified, when it can be used as a toy or to quickly rewind a large amount of pages. This function is adjusted using the top button on the case. A set of weights have their own packaging and are fixed on magnets. Each of the magnets has its own marking with the specified weight. In total, 4 positions are available for attaching each of the magnets. This model at one time was the best on the market, but somewhat lost the competition to more advanced models.

2 Razer DeathAdder Elite Black USB

A true classic, great option for shooters
Country: USA
Average price: 5990 rubles.
Rating (2019): 5.0

Ideal for shooters and other competitive disciplines with a high level of reliability and long service life. At the first meeting, you will be surprised in the form of an unusual package, which you will have to work hard to open. Made by Elite Black in an ergonomic style for the right hand. The back is not very comfortable and its lower part seems to be cut off, which can lead to some discomfort.

The matte plastic of which the mouse is made has slight roughness and perform a purely utilitarian function so that the hands do not slip during the game. The wheel has become more textured and tenacious, but the chance to miss still remains. Fine wire is quite light and strong, besides it has a braid. The new generation sensor will be an ideal tool in online games, as it has increased responsiveness in its arsenal.

Please note that in this top we will try not to focus on the shortcomings, since the standard market rules for mice almost do not work. This is due to the fact that any buyer who suits this or that model begins to consider it ideal.

1 Logitech G G502 HERO Black USB

The best choice
Country: Switzerland
Average price: 5860 rubles.
Rating (2019): 5.0

A fairly large computer mouse, which is perfect for people with large palms. Its weight is about 120 grams, which is quite decent and not everyone will like it. The model is made of matte plastic that does not collect dust and fingerprints, as well as rubber in the form of trim. There are 10 buttons at once and the resource of the front buttons is 20 million clicks, and the side buttons are 5. There is a small problem with them - when playing on a laptop, you can accidentally touch the case with the mouse and activate the DPI increase button, so be careful.

The wheel is made entirely of metal and still remains four-position. Its weight is also not small - 16 grams, which creates a slight weight imbalance relative to the bottom. The problem can be solved by hanging additional weights included in the delivery. The wire has a memory effect, while at the same time being characterized by high elasticity. The sensor can be overclocked to 12,000 DPI, but this is an extreme case, while the average user will have enough from 400 to 1000 DPI.

The best gaming mice: budget from 2000 to 5000 rubles.

Pre-top price segment with interesting models for all categories of users.

5 COUGAR Surpassion Black USB

Device with screen
Country: Germany/China
Average price: 2162 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7

An interesting feature of the mouse is the screen at its base, which is responsible for adjustment and configuration. A disk with drivers for the model is not provided, in addition, they are not available in principle. You can customize the product for yourself using two buttons on both sides of the screen - one regulates DPI, the other hertz. In the same way, you can change other settings, you just need to hold down one or another button for 3 seconds.

The mouse can be held with any grip due to its compact size. The materials are not surprising - matte plastic has become familiar, the device does not jump out of the hands even if the hands sweat. The main buttons play a little, creating a little noise. The side buttons are conveniently located and you can easily understand by touch which one is which. A wheel with a mechanical encoder does not play, if it is not artificially "blurred".

4 HyperX Pulsefire Surge Black USB

Model for both hands
Country: USA
Average price: 4490 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Pulsefire Surge is a right and left handed mouse. This possibility was achieved due to the symmetrical shape of the device. Clicks are clear, have an average course, not the slightest hint of backlash. The side buttons are conveniently located, but are not as pronounced as we would like and there may be problems with tactile search.

The wheel does not dangle, but the cutoffs are weakly expressed, they can not always be felt the first time. Due to its shape, the mouse has tiebacks, which makes it comfortable in the hand. The resolution can be raised up to 16000. The wire is very thin and soft, has a fabric sheath. The legs are 2 thick pieces of Teflon. At the start of sales, a defective model came out with buttons rubbing against each other, which led to a breakdown. Despite the recall and compensation, there may still be defective models on sale, so carefully check the goods before buying.

3 ZOWIE GEAR EC1-A Black USB

Gray mouse with great potential
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 4990 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Against the background of advertised competitors, Zowie is not so popular, which is a pity, since their GEAR EC1-A model can compete in the market. It just fits perfectly in the hand and, perhaps, this is the best mouse in terms of ergonomics in our top. The brush just rests on it, and the device itself glides clearly and smoothly due to the wide Teflon substrate. The cursor goes straight without shifting in any direction. The Avago 3310 sensor is considered one of the benchmarks for quality and performance.

The wheel is crisp and pleasant to the touch, but not stiff, making it easy to miss the right page or link. The lack of drivers and built-in calibration with a minimalistic look make it a great buy for those who don't want to overpay for extra backlighting and excess performance.

2 HP Omen 600 Mouse 1KF75AA Black USB

Nothing extra
Country: USA
Average price: 3009 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

A very interesting model was presented by HP. Software is not attached to it at all - everything is already sewn inside and activation is done by pressing a certain key combination. Everything can be customized and not depend on crooked software or hassle with installation.

Comfortable body materials and rubberized inserts that are pleasant to the touch have a positive effect on tactile sensations. It shows itself well in shooters - hold down one button and with the proper reaction you will have the opportunity to shoot the target in that part of the body where it is convenient for you. This is helped by dynamic DPI, which controls the smoothness of the action. The mouse was created specifically for the HP Omen series of gaming laptops, but can also be used separately from them. The updated version, although it has only 6 buttons, but its DPI can be raised to 12000.

Let's talk about some of the most popular manufacturers:

• A4tech. A Chinese company that produces generally good devices and has the widest range. These aspects have had a positive impact on the price and availability on sale - anyone can pick up a mouse for their pocket.
• Razer. An American company whose main profile is gaming devices for eSports disciplines, including shooters and MMORPGs. Razer products cannot be called budget, but for a lot of money, the company offers high-quality devices with a long service life and an extremely discreet design.
• Logitech. The golden mean among all manufacturers. Every PC user sooner or later will have a mouse from Logitech - this is already a pattern. Good models at a nice price allowed the company to acquire a mass audience.
• Steel Series. The Danes love and appreciate their product, but do not try to raise the price. Often, in their models, they sacrifice appearance for the sake of price and improved technical characteristics.
• ASUS. One of the leaders in terms of technical bells and whistles. It produces both regular and limited devices with unique features.

The best hybrid mouse
Country: Switzerland
Average price: 4356 rubles.

Many demanding buyers believe that it is heavy, but if there is any discomfort, then here it is minimal.

5 A4Tech Bloody Blazing A7 Black USB

The most unusual lighting
Country: China
Average price: 1470 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Among all the models, this one is one of the most interesting in terms of lighting. It has a print that has a honeycomb structure and is highlighted with different colors of the rainbow. The mouse supports quick switching of shooting modes, which will add comfort for a game like Warface.

There is no disk with drivers, as well as Plug-in-Play, that is, you will have to spend time searching for them, while it is best to download software only from the official site. On the sides there are inserts with ribs so that the hands do not slip. Clicks are very quiet, occasionally you can only hear the right button.
