  viz.

  DPI (Dots Per Inch) options. Higher DPI mice are
  capable of detecting and responding to swiftest
  of movement with ease. However, such swiftness
  needs practice to master. The gaming mice are

  the gamers to shift speeds during the course of
  the game itself. Both optical as well as laser
  mice are available for gaming.  Dedicated buttons
  for switching DPI in game itself.

• The gaming mice which are designed to meet
  specific requirements fall under the category of
  ergonomic gaming mice.

  specific gripping style or oriented specifically
  for a dominant hand.

  gamers who understand the importance of subtle

Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse

• The ambidextrous gaming mice are the best options
  for beginners as they are suited to all playing
  and grip styles.
• However, they lack the subtle targeted
  adjustments found in Ergonomic gaming mice.
• An ambidextrous gaming mouse may or may not have
  the same DPI range as an ergonomic gaming mouse.
• While ergonomic gaming mice are focused on a
  particular playing style or are customized to
  best perform for a particular game, an
  ambidextrous gaming mouse can be used for all
  games without a performance scale down.

Know Your Grip Style
Palm Grip
Fingertip Grip
Claw Grip

• Raised fingers and a resting palm is the
  identification mark of the claw grip.
• Users using this grip style tend to strain their
  knuckles in case of long hours of usage.
• Claw grip users must choose a gaming mouse with
  high back arc, to which reduces the strain on the
  knuckle and finger joints.

• Slightly lifted palm and relaxed fingers is the
  identification mark of the palm grip.
• This gripping style causes mild strain on wrists
  and fore arm.
• Palm grip users are recommended to choose a
  gaming mouse with medium back arc, which allows
  more rest to the wrist as it reduces the forearm
  lift.

• Mouse held by using only finger tips is the
  identification mark of the fingertip grip.
• This grip causes great strain on wrists and
  knuckles, and thus is not recommended for users
  who work or play for a long stretch of time.
• Fingertip users must choose a gaming mouse with
  the flattest of back or the least possible arc,
  which eases the strain on the entire fore arm.

KEY FEATURES TO LOOK BEFORE BUYING A GAMING MOUSE
DPI DPI refers to dots per inch and it indicates
the sensitivity of the gaming mouse. Lower DPI
(lt1000) mice are not suitable for games which
require fast clicks and constant map drags.
Adjusting to higher DPI levels requires practice
and steadiness of the hand. Users can increase
the sensitivity as the affinity between their
hand and the mouse grows. Programmable
Buttons Players who play shooting or racing games
like to have more programmable buttons on the fly
whereas players playing games like DOTA 2 and
League of Legends prefer to have fewer
programmable keys on their gaming mouse. Having
programmable buttons allows you the luxury to
assign common tasks to the extra keys on the
mouse which allows the user to reduce avoidable
keystrokes. Sensors Though many flagship gaming
mouse still use optical sensors, the performance
delivered by laser sensors is attracting the
gamers towards it. The laser sensors are more
responsive and accurate. Connectivity The
problem of wireless gaming mice causing lags and
delays is no longer a worry with the evolution
and development of the wireless technology.
However, to imagine a battery drain at a crucial
juncture of the game is indeed worrisome. Hence,
it is always recommended to opt for a wired
gaming mouse or keep the charging wire plugged in
while playing in case of a wireless mouse. Mouse
- Hand Affinity The importance of connectivity
between a wand for wizards like Harry Potter and
a cricket bat for Sachin Tendulkar is a matter of
common knowledge. Similarly, a gaming mouse is an
extension to the arm of a gamer or any user
indulged in creative applications. Hence, the
friendliness between the mouse and the users
hand is of prime importance to extract the best
output from the gaming mouse.
