Every PC gamer’s setup must have the best gaming mouse. No matter what you play, the features and functionality they offer will boost your game and even help you get to the top of the leaderboards, even if it won’t instantly turn you into a competitive esports player. You won’t even realise you’re using a mouse because the appropriate gaming mouse will be so well suited to your grip and hand size. It will have intuitive, strategically placed tactile buttons and will move smoothly across any surface you decide to play on.

The gaming mouse market is crowded with competitors, and models can range from entry-level bargains to ultra-premium gadgets with advanced features that defy physics. There are some daring design decisions as well, such as dazzling RGB, swappable or replaceable parts, and adjustable weight systems. By breaking down the top gaming mice for various uses (and users) below, we’ll help you choose the ideal gaming mouse for your particular preferences.

1. Razer Basilisk V3

The greatest gaming mouse currently available is the Razer Basilisk V3. Because of its nine programmable buttons (13 if you include the inputs from the scroll wheel), well-designed shape, and plush, tactile feel, it can be used for a variety of gaming genres and even office tasks. Although it weighs more than mice with a honeycomb design, PTFE feet allow it to slide more easily in first-person shooter games. For headshots, a dedicated sniper button that can be accessed immediately reduces the DPI. It costs around $159.99.

The Cooler Master MM720 has the potential to become a fan favourite because of Heritage’s connection to it. The MM720 proves to be one of the best gaming mice options for first-person shooter games because of its ultra-lightweight honeycomb shell, potent specifications, and of course, RGB. One of the lightest mice we have examined so far is this one. A slot for the ring finger and pure PTFE feet assist maintain movements incredibly smooth and comfortably during extended gaming sessions. Its pricing starts from $49.99.

Aside from three interchangeable side plates with 12, 6, and 2 buttons, this medium-sized wireless mouse offers three connectivity options (2.4GHz, Bluetooth, and wired via USB-C).

It has a pleasingly soft, matte plastic shell that will delight both left and right hands for hours, and it is ambidextrous.

7. Logitech G Pro X Superlight

An improvement to the already outstanding Logitech G Pro Wireless is the Logitech G Pro X Superlight. Although needing a power source, the G Pro X Superlight manages to be surprisingly lightweight, making it the best wireless mouse for first-person shooter games. It weighs 2.12 ounces, which is a bit less than the wired honeycomb mouse Wonderful Model D- (2.15 ounces). This is an impressive accomplishment. Yet Logitech has created a mouse that boasts the stats and design of many high-end FPS mice but without the cable, due to a powerful sensor that can reach a DPI of 25,600, withstand 400 IPS, and have a 40g acceleration. You may pay about $149.99 for this beast mouse.

A great gaming mouse designed exclusively for first-person shooter players is the MSI Clutch GM51. It weighs only 85 grams, making it exceptionally light, and it has unique features like Diamond light grips and an optical sensor with a maximum resolution of 26,000 DPI. Although it is a bit heavier than its forerunner, we found it to be well-balanced and really comfortable to use. Also, we discovered that the 26,000 DPI of this mouse, which is obscenely high, works flawlessly with its small weight to produce an amazingly quick and precise performance with very little latency. If you are going for this MSI Clutch you can buy it for $69.99.

9. Asus ROG Gladius III

The Asus ROG Gladius III stands apart from other gaming mice because its left and right-click buttons are hot-swappable. Despite the Razer Naga Pro hot-swappable side plates for various genres, it’s uncommon to find a mouse with this level of adaptability. Although some gamers love it, it can feel a touch heavier than other gaming mice of comparable size. When compared to the weight of the mouse, the plastic can appear a touch cheap. This mouse includes three Asus Aura Sync RGB zones and a maximum DPI of 19,000 (26,000 with software), which gives it a tonne of customizability. You can pay about $119.99 for it.
