For many years, gamers have been using the mouse to play games. Gaming mouses are different from regular mouse in the sense that they have more buttons and some other features.
But what are the key differences between a gaming mouse and a regular mouse?
We have written this article to answer your questions about the key difference between the two types of mouse. We will also talk about what kind of features are present in both types of mouse.
So, let’s get started!
#1 Sensitivity
A gaming mouse is different from a regular mouse in the sense that it has a higher sensitivity. The sensor in a gaming mouse has a very high sensitivity that allows you to adjust the DPI (dots per inch) of the mouse very easily.
Higher dots per inch or higher sensitivity means that you can get faster movements and faster response time. The higher mouse sensitivity is achieved by the presence of more DPI sensors.
#2 Weight
A mouse for gaming is also different from a regular mouse in the sense that it has a heavier weight and more ergonomic design. This weight is needed to balance the mouse so that it can perform better.
It also makes the mouse more stable. It also allows a very smooth mouse movements, so you can use it for long hours without getting tired.
#3 Buttons-Mode Switching
An advanced gaming mouse is different from a regular mouse in the sense that it has an extra button (called “side button”) which allows you to switch between left-handed and right-handed mode.
The side mouse buttons have two purposes: One is to turn on or off your macros when clicked and another one is to switch between the left-handed and right-handed mode of your keyboard if you have one of those two types of keyboards available.
