Good gaming mouse?

[rfalla3]

I've only had 2 mouses, one was a very cheap desktop mouse that I hated. http://www.barebonekit.net/hp-647040-001-wired-usb-optical-mouse_i_mse647040001mu0.aspx

The scroll wheel would be wonky and you can hear the cheap plastic creaking as you move it.

My second mouse was this https://www.amazon.com/Tecknet-Professional-Ergonomic-Optical-Computer/dp/B00E290JRE/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1517370526&sr=8-6&keywords=technet+gaming+mouse

Had it for 2 years, and it was so much better. I have never experienced gaming on a mouse that is $20 or over, and I want to improve my gaming at FPS games where aim is critical. Something I noticed with my current mouse is it will skip pixels when sniping from long distances, so its hard to get my mouse to go exactly where I want it.

I don't know too much on DPI, but I play games at 1080p and sometimes I can run games at 4K.

Some features that are a must is at least 2 programmable buttons, or even more which I would prefer. Also, I like wired because there is less latency.

What would you recommend? Will the mouse be any different compared to my $8 gaming mouse?

My personal favorite is the Lancehead, https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Lancehead-Tournament-Professional-Ambidextrous/dp/B06XH15HD9?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B06XH15HD9

You get much more customization and you are able to create macros that help with many things including gaming if you wish. Lower costing mice might not effect your gameplay very much but upgrading to a good gaming mouse can help a lot.

ps: Any mouse you get for gaming should have a cord and not be wireless, this helps with latency problems.

That mouse seems much better than my current one. I also see other types of Razer mice such as the death adder and there is much more at similar prices. Would you say the lancehead is the best one they have? I am thinking about buying it.

You can pretty much go with any gaming mouse from Razer, Redragon, Logitech, Corasair etc. pretty much all the big players and it'll come down to the price, ergonomics, weight, just exactly how much DPI range you want and of course aesthetics. So just shop around those brands and find which one looks nice to you and meets your requirements for at least ergonomics (size and shape), DPI range and of course price. Everything else after that (i.e. weight and such) comes second.
So I'd say start with your price limit (i.e your max budget willing) and look around from there working your way down in price to the cheapest that meets your minimum specs and decide what you are willing to pay for. You're not gonna find anything amazing under $50 at minimum. the usual price range for high quality gaming mice is around $75 minimum average and going up to about $100 average and then of course beyond that for crazy stuff.

That sounds good, my budget is $100. Also if I were to get the lancehead, which I found new for $65 on Amazon will that eliminate the problem I have with my mouse skipping pixels? It is noticeable when I am scoped in on FPS games, I would try to aim over someone at a very far range and my mouse will skip a couple pixels making it harder to aim. The current mouse I'm using has 2000 dpi, with 3 levels I usually do the 2nd level which is 1600. I don't know if dpi has to do with this.

If you are skipping pixels when clicking a button it would mean you are moving the mouse ever so slightly when you click and if the sensitivity is up high enough this will happen. lowering your sensitivity to a lower level will help you in this situation. also, you probably have a cheap mouse that has poor tracking and it moves when you click the mouse. having a higher quality mouse can eliminate this and having the ability to go to a lower DPI setting with the buttons can help too when sniping. So a higher quality laser or optical mouse, a steadier hand/heavier mouse and being able to switch to much lower DPI setting around 600-800 on the fly can help in these situations.

I have never personally used that brand of mouse so I wouldn't know. But you can search youtube for some reviews to find out what it's capable of. The best mouse I've personally ever used was a Logitech G602 which was wireless and had a good size and weight along with ergonomics and had a great DPI range along with tons of buttons on it for moba games and multitasking and worked well for games and programs like Photoshop. I personally consider it to be one of the best "one size fits all" kind of mouse. And I personally never had an issue with latency with it either.
