Choosing the best mouse for FPS gaming.

[BarryLutz]

I am currently in the market for a new gaming mouse as my G9 is getting a little worn out. I know mouse preference has a lot to do with ergonomics and individual hand size but I was curious to see what everyone here recommends. Right now my top contenders are the Logitech G502 and the Corsair M65. I'm going to check them out at Microcenter this evening. All feedback is welcome and appreciated. Thanks!

I've been using Razer mice for quite some time and can't complain about them. Currently running with Razer Mamba Tournament Edition. It's awesome, accurate and responsive mouse. Doing many headshots in BF4.

I love love love love my Logitech G502 Proteus Core. Best mouse i have ever owned.

I picked up the G502 because I love Logitech products and I got it for $20 off. Time to break it in and see how I like it. Thanks for the input everyone.

I just got the G502 as well.

Best feature on it for me is that it has a "shift" button. I always hate using the DPI controls on a mouse because its cumbersome. The G502 has a thumb button that will "shift" the DPI to a chosen value until you release the button. It is fantastic for running with a high DPI in twitchy games but having a low DPI for sniper weapons on demand.

Ditto for G502.

I've had a deathadder a g500 (both still work) and now a g502.

For me it's all about how they feel in hand, I always buy mice in person. Even if it's at a premium. Its like trying clothes on.

You can't go wrong with a deathhadder by razor, best bang for your buck but there are more pricy options put there that may fit your liking better.

I like my corsair m65 mouse does not have a lot of buttons on the mouse but good weight and feel for me (I have a large hand). Can also change mouse DPI on the fly which is nice for switch games where I use a higher DPI in COD and lower DPI in Battlefield.

You need to take into account these things when purchasing a mouse.

• Senor - this is probably the most important, especially for FPS. You want all your flicks, lifts, and small adjustments to track, or not track when you want them to. Optical sensors are the best for that, no question about it. 3310, 3360, and 3366 are some of the best out there right now. Shoot for those.
• Shape - this is also critical. A comfortable mouse for some will not be comfortable for everyone. Certain shapes can dictate what grips you use, be sure the mouse your getting can support your grip. (Palm, Claw, Fingertip). Ergonomic mice tend to be less friendly to a variety of grips.
• Size - smaller hands tend to do worse with bigger mice. Same thing goes for bigger hands with smaller mice. Big hands trying to palm a g303 is not pretty.
• Weight - Big deal for FPS players. Shoot for 100g or less. Heavier mice are much more taxing to use over long periods of time, much harder to flick, and much harder to lift. They tend to feel not quite as responsive. MMORPG players probably won't care, because they're not playing on 400 DPI lol.
• Software - Can you set your own DPI settings? Can you edit liftoff distance? Do you want to calibrate your mouse to a surface? Certain brands do very well with this. Others do not.
• Materials - It's a big deal, but near the bottom because often it can be dealt with. Some materials are much easier to grip. Some materials trap dust or get slippery when you sweat. Know what you're buying, and if it will pose a problem.
• Build quality - Known issues with your mice? Does it have sensor rattle? Does it explode when it gets near cats? Some mice have their little quirks.
  
• Features - this will rank differently depending on the person. Do you want 12 buttons on your mouse? Do you want fancy RBG lighting that wows your pet hamster? Take this into account.

And then of course, there's price. Gaming mice are fucking expensive, so you'll have to decide what's worth it, and what's too much.

PM me if anyone wants individual help picking out a mouse, I'm somewhat of a gaming mouse enthusiast so I'm sure I'll have some recommendations :)

Optical sensors are the best for that, no question about it.

I disagree. It really depends on preference and person. I prefer Laser and I own with laser mouse in all FPS games. Technically laser sensor is more accurate than optical. However, for laser mouse you need to be careful with choosing surface - it has to be even and smooth with as least textures as possible. In other words, if you don't want to spend time tuning and adjusting your mouse then go with optical but if you don't mind to spend some time on adjusting the mouse to get best results then laser is the way to go because you will get the highest accuracy with laser sensor rather than optical.

I've been using the Corsair M65 Pro RGB for about a year now and I love it. I really comforable very long gaming sessions and ultra prcise for FPS games. The DPI "Sniper" button by your thumb is great for those long distance accurate kills.
