5 Best Gaming Mouse in Singapore: Razer DeathAdder V2, Redragon Impact Elite M913 & Corsair Harpoon RGB [2022]

How to Find the Right Gaming Mouse?

Looking for the right gaming mouse can be hard for some gamers because there are too many things to consider. Failing to know about these things can cost gamers a great deal of money, most especially when they end up buying the wrong item.

One of the first things all gamers should consider is the game type they usually play because it will determine the features to look out for.

Other than that, the sensor, wire, DPI/CPI, and grip style are also worth considering to ensure that you will receive your money’s worth.

Let’s go over each of these factors below.

1. Type of Game

As mentioned earlier, the type of game one usually plays will determine which gaming mouse to get.

In line with that, MMO and RTS gamers need to look for a gaming mouse in Singapore with additional buttons, alternative functions, and macros. These features can help them customise the mouse to their needs.

But gamers focusing on shooting games would prefer a mouse with great accuracy and fast tracking. They might even prefer a mouse with a DPS/DPI clutch.

Most manufacturers state what types of games their mice are for. Some are broad-use items, though, so as long as you’re flexible with your gear, you should be able to use those for nearly any game.

2. Type of Sensor

It will just boil down to your own preference if you want whether laser or optical sensors — either way, both get the job done.

Some would argue that optical ones are better because an optical sensor provides gamers with a reactor sensor, which results in better gaming.

Meanwhile, laser mouse users can attest that a laser mouse doesn’t lag as much as an optical one.

In our opinion, a great sensor should have accurate tracking, no jitter, no acceleration, no angle snapping, and a fast poll rate. Get a truly good mouse and the question of whether it’s optical or laser becomes moot.

3. Wire or Wireless

Once again, this will come down to your own personal preference. Both will have pros and cons.

A wired gaming mouse in Singapore is considerably cheaper compared to the wireless one, but you’d better be prepared to untangle the wire from time to time. Some gamers simply don’t have the patience for that.

On the other hand, a wireless gaming mouse doesn’t come with such a hassle. However, some wireless ones can’t promise a consistent reliable connection, which can affect one’s gameplay.

4. DPI and CPI

DPI stands for dots per inch, while CPI means counts per inch. Both are important in knowing the performance of your gaming mouse during gaming sessions.

DPI dictates the sensitivity of a mouse. The rule is: the higher the DPI, the more your cursor will move per inch movement of the mouse.

If you have a huge screen, it would be better to get a gaming mouse with a higher DPI to improve your gaming experience. But that’s also affected by the game you’re playing, as a lower-DPI mouse would mean better tracking and aiming (for the FPS gamers out there!).

On the other hand, CPI is the resolution of the camera used in the mouse’s sensors. It will also determine how sensitive the cursor will be at every move of the mouse. Where mice specs are concerned, most manufacturers treat it as interchangeable with DPI.

5. Grip Style

More importantly, gamers should also consider the grip style of the mouse if they want their hands to be comfortable during long hours of gaming.

The three most common types of grip are claw, palm, and fingertip. Grip your present mouse, see what shape your hand naturally takes, and use that as a guide (there are illustrations online for all 3 grips).
