Top 15 computer mice

The ability to work on a variety of different surfaces, comfortable grip with the left and right hand are good recommendations for a mouse, which costs a little more than 700 rubles. One-and-a-half meter cable is enough for most installation options for the system unit.

Of course, the creators of the device can be blamed for a hard cable or cheap-looking plastic, but for such a price (and it was recently worth 300-350 r), this is more of a nagging than a real disadvantage.

The conservative design does not make cheap plastic catch the eye, the sensor with a sensitivity of 800 dpi will quite satisfy the majority of users. Of course, the exact positioning of the cursor, especially when working directly on the table, will be difficult, but using a budget mouse for this is akin to subtle masochism.

What is really worth writing to the downside is a cheap and hard cable. Over time, this can lead to the eternal illness of wired mice - a fracture of the core at the cable entry point into the case, although according to user feedback there are no serious problems with the cable on the HP X500.

The compact computer mouse from Microsoft has earned its place in the ranking of the best thanks to the optical technology of Microsoft Optical Techology, which makes it popular for laptop owners. Small size suitable for limited workspaces. The mouse is distinguished by its minimal weight and simple ergonomic design. The mouse is made of plastic, pleasant to the touch and is quiet and smooth in operation.

One of the most cost-effective computer mice with a wired PS / 2 interface, which has gained the most popularity among PC owners. Optical LED mouse, made in a minimalist style and available in several colors, ideal for office desks. If when choosing a mouse, reliability, durability and low cost become the main criteria, then Genius NetScroll 100 is the unconditional choice.

From an extremely cheap mouse it is difficult to wait for something unusual: there are only three buttons of the standard set, a 1000 DPI sensor. However, at such a price, it has good build quality and more or less quiet “mikriki”, which is not bad.

Ergonomics is a classic, without designer delights, which often do more harm than good. In a hand, especially small, the mouse sits well - and that in the right, that in the left. So, if you need just a simple good budget mouse, then why not?

An outwardly outwardly looking mouse costs a lot, and one involuntarily wants to ask - where does this price come from? Its Avago PMW3310H sensor with 3200 DPI five or six years ago was considered the top for game manipulators, but now, as you see, it is significantly inferior to the new series. But he still has excellent linearity and "tenacity" - in work applications, where the mouse requires accurate and predictable cursor movement (and, God forbid, without auto-acceleration), the characteristics of this sensor will be enough with a margin. That is why we decided to assign a “mouse-like” mouse to this category, and its design is suitable for a workplace.

Please note that the case has a soft-touch coating, which is devoid of even a hint of oleophobicity; it collects fingerprints very quickly. This, perhaps, most of all spoils the impression of the mouse.

The microswitches under the left and right keys are “twenty millionths” from Omron. Such a resource is not bad and by gaming standards, at work you hardly “call out” the mouse in the foreseeable future. What is interesting, under the left and right keys they are different - this is noticeable even by the sound of the trigger.

But, be that as it may, the mouse came out controversial - of course, it shows itself perfectly, but it would be forgivable to permanently erase fingerprints for five hundred rubles, and not for five thousand.

Convenient grip and hold, good build quality (buttons sometimes start to work poorly, which is treated with the simplest cleaning), a sensor with a sensitivity of 2500 dpi sufficient for most users determined the solid popularity of the mouse, which is also indicated by a huge number of reviews. Its main disadvantage is the size - it will not suit the owner of large palms, and the sensor displaced relative to the center will require some getting used to.

A pair of buttons on the side will be useful outside of games, but only to right-handers (the trouble of most gaming mice). It is possible to calibrate the weight, reassigning buttons (although the internal memory is small, complex macros are not programmed). The manufacturer compensated a small resource of legs simply - there are spare ones in the set. As a result, before us is not an expensive and quite comfortable mouse, which is quite able to work out their money in online battles.

Our rating is continued by an extremely budgetary gaming mouse from Krasndrakon (more harmoniously merging two d into one in the name, alas, is not played up in Russian) offers us a sensor with a maximum resolution of 3200 DPI - not so much, but quite playable, and quite good ergonomics (although the body does not like fat hands - it is easy to “wrap”). The backlight is not an eye blister and is quite functional - the color of the glow corresponds to the selected DPI preset, which, unfortunately, only cyclically switches. The side buttons are large, comfortable, and the forward button is grooved. And, which is nice, the key functionality (including macro recording) is configured through proprietary software.

In the corner of the mouse settings program window, by the way, the Defender logo is found - the creators decided not to bother with their own software, but took advantage of the already ready universal, distributed freely. And obviously cheated in the firmware - because with the mouse, not produced by Defender, this program does not work (which is a pity).

Of course, like other cheap computer mice, there is not the best quality of fitting parts, a simple cable without braiding and a filter, traditionally quickly starting to “glitch” the encoder (but, as we have written before, a syringe with white spirit or galoshes) works wonders). But, in the end, the price is nowhere lower!

Gaming mouse Rival quickly gained popularity and received a lot of accolades. The technical component in tandem with a unique solution of asymmetric design makes this gaming mouse one of the best in the current generation of controllers. As for the forms and performance, the mouse has rubberized sidewalls for convenience and a desiccant surface. Included with the device are overlays that will allow you to personalize and adjust the mouse to your individual style. Other features of Rival include customizable LED backlighting, unique software and versatile functionality.

Successful in both ergonomics and design mouse - fortunately, Asus designers remembered that the ROG (Republic Of Gamers) series was not only for fifth graders, and they did things that might be of interest at a more advanced age. Here, from the “purely gaming” features, except that RGB-illumination, synchronized with Aura on other “Asusov” components of this series.

But the filling here is definitely interesting. The sensor with a resolution of 12 thousand dots per inch gives excellent positioning accuracy on all types of surfaces, it’s a pity that the sensitivity control button is one, that is, the presets can be switched only in a circle. But this inconvenience pays off with the fact that the microswitches under the keys are made quick-release - they do not need to be soldered for replacement. So, even if you run out the fifty millionth resource of Omron’s regular “mikrik”, you can “reanimate” the mouse quickly and without problems. Yes, and just pick them up for yourself, too, you can - for example, put tougher or softer.

Another “trick” of the mouse is a detachable cable, and two-meter and two-meter come at the same time. That is, you can always leave one connected to a stationary PC, and if you need to use a mouse with a laptop, simply disconnect the cable from the mouse itself and switch it to a short notebook. The mouse in general was originally created as a “hiking” - it is not without reason that there is a cloth cover for it.

So the five awards of the world computer press, received by the mouse, do not look like an owl stretched over a globe. The only thing it lacks is the physical “sniper” button, after all, the mouse is positioned as designed for lovers of shooters.

The specific multi-button gaming mouse is intended for those who like to perform maximum actions with their right hand. And it is the right one - despite the symmetry of the case, all the additional buttons on it are located on the left side of the case.

“Multi-button” mice have one common problem - even on the overall body, the buttons are still small, they are easily confused. Well, in the "Nemesis" twelve additional buttons are placed on the drum - at the same time only two rows (four buttons) of three are available, you can hide the top row and lift the bottom row when you turn the drum. The solution is non-trivial (and, by and large, it’s worth talking about the mouse as “plus-eight-button”, during the game it’s not a fact that there will be a time to turn the drum, we’re not on the Field of Miracles), but the buttons are really convenient, and touch it is easy to choose.

The backlight, as is usual for gaming mice, is RGB, customizable. And here it was not without its "chips" - you can tie the color change to the temperature of the processor. Well, if you have a “stove” settled in your system unit (or, especially, a laptop) that suffers from high temperatures in “hard” games, then such a “reminder” can be useful.

We don’t say anything bad about the sensor - the top Pixart PMW-3360 is used here, it will be “taken out” in any game, on any rug or even without it. The mouse is ergonomic, and especially lovers of such "humpback" forms. Well, a set of additional buttons will reveal itself not only in MMO / MOBA-games, for which such manipulators are usually made - in shooters with complex mechanics, the arcade mode of War Thunder, and much else they will be useful for sure.

Fully ambidextral gaming mouse with additional keys - this is something for which you definitely should give your vote. Well, if this is also a “laser” with 12000 DPI (sensor - Pixart PMW3360) and a sane design, then why not change the old mouse?

Finally, SteelSeries abandoned the soft-touch, which, although it looks beautiful in the photographs and is pleasant to the hand, but is quickly clogged with fat and loses its entire appearance. Now the body is made of matte plastic, on the side for better grip there are embossed silicone lining. There are practically no flaws in the assembly, except for the slight backlash of the keys.

Against this background, the cable without braid and ferrite filter looks frankly cheap - damn it, because it has already become the norm for mice three times cheaper! The cable, of course, soft and flexible, but still looks alien here.

The ambidextrality is made simple: instead of the rearranged side buttons, they are made initially by the workers both on the right and on the left. In principle, they can even be accustomed to control the ring finger or little finger, thereby obtaining a couple of extra functions in games (although not to say that it is particularly convenient). The legs of the mouse are Teflon, easily replaceable (even samples on the body are provided, which facilitate their unsticking). The mouse slides well on any surface, and as a whole it corresponds to the declared level.

Regular software (the need to download which even resembles a sticker on the USB cable) allows you to customize the color response of the two backlight zones and reassign keys. You can also record macros, but with one “but” - they are implemented through the driver itself, only the active profile of the reassigned keys is saved directly to the memory of the mouse.

A curious computer mouse from your favorite gamers (especially minors, hehe) brand, which comes with two interchangeable side covers and the top cover - you can customize its ergonomics for yourself if you want. Extra bonus - disconnectable cables ("computer" long and "laptop" short).

The side buttons, like those of the SteelSeries Sensei 310, are located on both sides, so that the mouse is fully "obeeruky", and removable sidewalls will allow to fit its shape just under the working hand. They saved a little on the sensor - instead of the top PMW 3360, the less sensitive PMW 3330 (10800 DPI maximum) is here, but this is not a serious disadvantage: this sensitivity shows itself well in games.

The “sniper” button was not installed here, besides the DPI switch is a single key that cycles through the presets. At least it was worth putting the “plus or minus” buttons - the complication is scanty, and convenience is greater. So it is necessary, if necessary, to use the proprietary utility to reassign keys, if an active sensitivity switch is necessary.

In general, there was a very worthy competitor for the SteelSeries, and moreover, it was also more affordable. But we still place the rating of gaming mice in this order: the updated Sensei is still somewhat nicer and has the best sensor.
