Optical vs laser gaming mouse

[Yazan Zaid]

what is better for gaming mouse?optical or laser and why?and what's the difference(real time)

Laser mice are arguably more precise than opticals(even though they're both in principle optical mice). The laser has a thin nearly invisible mat trace/movement sensor, where as when you flip an optical around there's a large diode lighting up the mat. They're both great mice, but g-wise(how fast you swipe the mouse across the mat), the laser G700S Logitech mouse just doesn't lose track and start freaking out. But I guess it also a subjective thing, I prefer laser over "optical" mice also for their precision.

Laser is technically a form of optical mouse and the only difference is that laser-based optics usually have more accurate tracking across a wider range of surface types.
