How to Choose a Mouse
- Connectivity: Wired gives zero lag and never needs charging; 2.4GHz wireless balances freedom and responsiveness; Bluetooth is ideal for laptops and travel.
- Use case: Gaming mice prioritise high DPI, fast sensors and programmable buttons. Office mice focus on comfort, quiet clicks and battery life.
- DPI & sensor: Higher DPI means more sensitivity. Gamers benefit from adjustable DPI; most office users are well served at lower settings.
- Ergonomics & grip: Consider hand size and grip style. Vertical and ergonomic shapes reduce wrist strain during long sessions.
- Extras: Look for silent clicks for shared spaces, RGB for gaming setups, and rechargeable batteries to avoid swapping cells.
