Click Gaming geeks don’t mind if they have to break the bank to make the best rig among their friends.

Top 5 Best Gaming Mouse to Buy in 2020

1. Logitech G502 Proteus Core

Logitech G502 Proteus Core is the version that was succeeded by Proteus Spectrum – but since this is the basic version that introduced an all-purpose and highly customizable gaming mouse to the community, I considered this one for this review.

Features:

• Surface Tuning Calibration – This mouse has an optical sensor – I will discuss in the detailed guide while the optical sensor is better than the laser one. The best thing about this sensor is that you can tweak the sensor as per any surface and get the best results.
• 11 Programmable Buttons – This gaming mouse takes customizability to a whole new level. The 32-bit ARM processor lets you assign roles to all 11 buttons and it remembers all of them.
• 200 to 12000 DPI – They call it the “on-the-fly” DPI management – the default settings let you use G7 and G8 buttons to customize the DPI anywhere from 200 to 12000 so you can make the most out of this mouse. There are 5 settings that cover a big dots-per-inch sensitivity to real estate.
• Weight & Balance Tuning – They have revolutionized the way you feel about your gaming mouse. Just like you tweak a physical tool that you use, you can tweak the weight and balance of this mouse. Change the position of one or all 3.6g weights to enjoy the weight and balance of your choice.
• Dual Mode Hyper-Fast Scroll Wheel – There are two things that you need to know the scroll wheel of this mouse. First of all, it is designed for hyper-fast scrolling and in that it gives you a precise and accurate clicking much needed for multiplayer games, the second thing is that it doubles as a middle click button. You can even customize what happens when you click it instead of scrolling it.

2. Corsair M65 Pro RGB

I believe that Corsair is still an underrated company for the kind of computer equipment (not only mice) it is making. In case the word RGB in the name of almost every other mouse confuses you, do know that it means you can change the LED color on your mouse – choosing from Red Green and Blue colors.

Features:

• 12000 DPI Optical Sensor – Just like the Logitech G502, this one also has an optical sensor. In terms of better control on all sorts of surfaces, an optical sensor is considered better than the laser one. This one has the capacity to do a maximum of 12000 DPI too.
• Aircraft-Grade Aluminum – The material of this mouse is aircraft-grade aluminum. Due to this material, not only the mouse is very sturdy and durable, but it has an optimal weight distribution too. Weight and balance matter a lot when it is a gaming mice.
• Surface Calibration Tuning – This mouse is also enabled with advanced surface calibration tuning. The pixel-perfect calibration and tuning make this mouse compatible with just any kind of plain surface.
• Optimized Button to Customize DPI – The sniper button on the side can be used to optimize the DPI then and there when a game demands you to increase or decrease the mouse speed. While maximum DPI is 12,000 you can choose a speed as per the demand of the game.
• The Power of iCUE – A very smart thing that discriminates this Corsair mouse from others on the list is the way how you can customize the mouse. You know that each video game is different and for each game you want to use your mouse in a different way. The iCUE technology lets you save your preferences for each game, customize the mouse for double macros and apply many other custom settings.
• 8 Programmable Buttons – 8 is a pretty standard number of buttons (including mouse), that you can personalize for your gaming needs. There are such mice that are bent on customization and that have 12 or so buttons, but for a guy with normal button personalization needs, 8 is perfect.

3. Razer DeathAdder Elite - Best for FPS Games

What if you’re a person who is not much concerned about the customization of the mouse, programmability and other such features, but who needs a maximum DPI mouse?

What if your FPS (First Person Shooting) game’s multiplayer mode needs you to be super quick – like lightning quick with your movements? I’d say go with Razer DeathAdder – our Best DPI mouse.

Features:

• 16,000 DPI Optical Sensor – Yup – in case you were wondering as to how many DPI this mouse can cover, the maximum number is 16,000. 16,000 is way more than the DPI offered by the best DPI gaming mice (12,000). On top of this DPI real estate, you got an optical sensor.
• Customizable Chroma RGB – How insane can be your mouse’s RGB profile? How many colors you can have – to what limit you can customize? These questions are important. This mouse has 16.8 million color combinations on top of preset profiles – suffice to say.
• Durable Mechanical Switches – Yes, this mouse is not a piece of other-worldly hi-tech from 3019 – it’s not even wireless, but the mechanical switches last longer than any other alternatives. The switches on this one – for example, can sustain 50 million clicks and there’s a 2-year warranty to cover everything.
• Rubberized Scroll Wheel – The scroll wheel is rubberized so not only the users enjoy a very good grip, but rubber feels friendlier than plastic or any other metal. The tactile bumps on the wheel resist sweaty or oily fingers. This means you never lose control of your game as far as scrolling is concerned.
• 7 Programmable Buttons – There are 7 programmable buttons on this mouse. This big number of buttons brings it closer to the Mamba Elite which has 9 programmable buttons. While this is not on par with gaming mice like Corsair Gaming Scimitar, 7 buttons provide ample opportunity to personalize the way you play a game.
• Powered by Razer Synapse – Gaming mice are not the same they used to be a few years ago – now they feature hi-tech connectivity, maximum optimization, and insane control. Synapse is Razer’s hardware configuration tool that totally syncs your mouse with your hardware.

4. Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum

Do you love wireless gaming mice? Do you prefer a mouse that would enable you to fast switch between wireless functionality and wire charging? Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum is a wireless gaming mouse that can be made a wired mouse in a moment.

Features:

• Ultra-Fast Wired or Wireless Functionality – This is not your usual AA or AAA batteries mouse. This one has an ultra-fast wired or wireless connectivity. Just connect or disconnect the USB to enjoy any of these modes.
• 30 Hours Battery Life – The best thing about this gaming mouse is that it takes little time to charge and within only 2+ hours it achieves the maximum charging potential. Unplug it and enjoy wireless functionality for 24 to 32 hours.
• 200 to 12000 DPI Range – Not only you get to choose a WIDE range of DPI between 200 to 12000 DPI, but you can also choose between 5 different settings. The sensor of this mouse is an optical one; while laser ones usually have better DPI/performance, aside from DPI game, optical ones do a better job.
• Ambidextrous Design – Yes, it does not matter whether you’re a lefty or a righty, you can use this mouse. This could be our best ambidextrous mouse if I wouldn’t have categorized as the best wireless mouse.
• 8 Million Colors Customizable RGB – You want to play with RGB colors and your gaming set up is lit with vibrant LED colors? If it is the case you would love how you can choose from 16.8 million RGB variations and breathing light patterns.
• Mechanical Pivot Button Design – Confusing term? Let us make it easy. First of all, you need to know that all buttons on this thing are mechanical – rest assured you hear that satisfying click sound that means, “Job’s done!” The pivot is about the metal spring tensioning system that is placed right underneath the left and right-click buttons. This system assures fast recovery after a click and fast move from right/left click to the buttons placed right behind the wheel.
• 11 Programmable Buttons – Speaking of buttons, there are 11 programmable buttons – now this is insane considering how the bestselling Razer mouse that I have reviewed above has only 7 programmable buttons and its next level (Mamba) has only 9 of them. This mouse is the wet dream of every FPS and MMO gaming buff.

5. Logitech G300s - Best Budget Mouse

Here’s a fun fact about computer mice – 90% of them are made for right-handed people because let us admit that left-handers are only 10% of the world’s total population.

This is why we do not see any left-handed mice – for them, we make ambidextrous mice that can be used for both: right-handers and left-handers. G300s is the best ambidextrous mouse on this list.

Features:

• 250 – 2500 DPI with Optical Sensor – So, in terms of DPIs this gaming mouse is not as impressive as many others on this list. It offers you a maximum of 2,500 DPI. However, I think that DPIs are only one factor among many that decide how good or bad a mouse is. The gaming-grade optical sensor sort of compensates for the low DPIs. On-the-fly DPI shifting makes it easy to switch between 250 and 2500 DPI.
• Symmetrical & Ambidextrous Design – This mouse has a symmetrical design and both sides look the same. The reason for making it symmetrical on all sides was to give it an ambidextrous look and feel. Both: right-handers and left-handers can easily use this mouse.
• Three Memory Profiles – A very unique feature in this mouse is three memory profiles that you can save. The onboard memory profiles can be optimized for three different persons as well as three different games etc. The G Hub helps you save your preferences and you can connect your mouse to any system anywhere, play any game you like and your mouse will use the same settings that you previously saved.
• 9 Programmable Buttons – There are 9 programmable buttons – this makes this mouse just as programmable as any good mouse on this list. You can either go with the default configuration or configure each of the 9 buttons for the most important functions in any game. Assign either one command or a multi-command macro -it is totally customizable.
• Matte Finish Wheel for Good Grip – The wheel does not have tactical bumps or similar other touches, but it has a durable matte finish that makes it somewhat resistant to oily/wet fingers.
• Slick Feet – The feet or corners of the mouse’s bottom are made of low friction PTFE material. These soft, smooth and swift feet make sure that your mouse works perfectly fine on any kind of surface.
• 1 Millisecond Report Rate – 1-millisecond report rate, depending on whether it is the company’s claim or users are also happy with the report rate, is a pretty ideal one. It is the report rate that syncs the mouse with the pointer on the screen and this is why a pointer moves with the movement of the mouse.

Final Words

This mouse has only one issue that they should improve in coming versions – you are only allowed to choose from 3 different types of lighting. Other than this one problem, this is a really good mouse with amazing features like the ability to save 3 memory profiles.
