Everyone who wants to game on PC needs one: A mouse. And with Logitech, Razer, Roccat and many other manufacturers, there is plenty of choice for gamers. But what is most important to you in a gaming mouse?
Every gamer needs a gaming mouse on the PC that allows for good gameplay. Because all important movements and actions are made with this device. But gamers have very different ideas and wishes when it comes to their favorite mouse.
Here at MeinMMO, you have already heatedly discussed a gaming mouse for 300 euros. Many readers think very little of the featured gaming mouse, as it lacks important features such as the scroll wheel or additional buttons. As MeinMMO reader JensSigle writes about the real gaming mouse:
A gaming mouse (high-quality) needs at least 2 to 3 extra buttons for knife, grenade, and quick weapon switch, plus two buttons on the scroll wheel for mouse speed, because otherwise you have to set that in every game again. Very important for snipers, as mouse speed is usually throttled in normal cases. Then, an RGB light for feedback on the set mouse speed. The right shape and size, preferably adjustable, and the price should be between €75 – 190. Then comes the weight and no wireless mouse, important!
Today we want to know from you: What plays the most important role for you when buying a gaming mouse? Here are a few thoughts to guide you in your questions:
- Do you prefer to game with a light mouse or would you rather have a “block” in your hand? Or do you prefer it if you can even configure the weight at will?
- How important is ergonomics to you? Do you game with a purely right-handed mouse or do you have a symmetrical mouse that can also be used left-handed?
- Do you want a mouse that offers you many possibilities via software, where you can customize every tiny detail of your mouse? Or are the in-game options sufficient for you?
- Should your mouse look sleek, be the Ferrari among gaming mice, and stand out from other gaming mice, or are you more of a purist and only care about pure gaming functions?
- Are you an MMO player who needs plenty of buttons that you can customize freely, or do you prefer the absolute minimum in mouse buttons and scroll wheel?
- Some users love wired mice, while others swear by wireless mice. Which mouse do you prefer?
Many factors play a role in a gaming mouse
Anyone wanting to buy a gaming mouse will find plenty of options on the market. Because manufacturers focus on very different designs and offer very different functions.
While some mice offer 10, 12, or more buttons and thus aim to attract players from complex MMOs, other manufacturers offer small and light mice aimed primarily at shooter players.
With Logitech Lightspeed or Razer Hyperspeed, there are now technologies that aim to make wireless mice as latency-free as possible.

Do you want to be inspired by a particularly cool gaming mouse? A user has created a special bow mouse for his favorite character Hanzo in Overwatch. He modified his Logitech G502 into a bow. And this mouse actually works, as he successfully plays Overwatch with it in a video.
