When you spend a lot of time on your computer, owning an ergonomic mouse is important for your own comfort. A good ergonomic mouse must have an irreproachable grip, in addition to a powerful sensor and customization options. Often facing high costs, we deemed it relevant to survey manufacturers, but also professional players in order to create the perfect guide to choosing the most suitable gaming mouse for your use.
How to Choose Your Gaming Mouse?
The Form
The gaming mouse should be suited to the morphology of your hand. So avoid models that are too big if you have small hands and vice versa. It’s up to you to adapt the form to the way you play. Left-handers will prefer dedicated models or ambidextrous mice.
The Weight
The weight should also influence your choice, fairly intensive users (gamers, graphic designers, etc.) will prefer fairly light or moderately heavy gaming mice to prevent their wrist from tiring quickly. Many models vary in weight so that the mouse can maximize the comfortability of its users.
The Sensor (DPI)
How many DPI is important for a gaming mouse? The value to watch for is its resolution in DPI (dots per inch). The higher this value, the more precise the mouse. Above 4000 DPI, you have a product that is already starting to make a real difference.
To put it simply, a mouse with a high DPI will allow its cursor to move quicker while barely moving the mouse.
The Number of Buttons
The number of programmable buttons (macros) is fundamental. If for the average person, 3 buttons (2 buttons + wheel) is sufficient for scrolling through pages, players (FPS, MMO, etc.) and other graphic designers will look towards models ranging from 5 to at least 15 buttons for variety and functionality.
Handling
There are mainly two main types of grips. For this factor you need to consider how you hold your mouse while playing.
- Palm Grip
This is probably the most common grip among gamers, but also the most natural for a large majority of users. In this position, the hand rests flat on the entirety of the mouse, the palm remaining in contact with the base of the mouse.
- Claw Grip
This grip is similar to the first, but the hand no longer rests entirely on the mouse. As its name suggests, the hand here takes on the appearance of a “claw”, with the index and middle fingers slightly bent.
