Frequently asked questions about gaming mice
Is a lighter mouse always better?
No. Below roughly 60 g, some players lose control on flick shots — especially palm grippers. Weight should match your grip style and hand size, not a headline number.
Do I need a $150 wireless flagship?
For most players, no. Sub-$80 wireless mice from Logitech, Razer and Endgame Gear now match flagship latency; you're mainly paying for weight, battery and shape refinement.
