Well, "gaming mouse" is a very interesting topic. There are a lot of thinking about it:
If we compare a gaming mouse to a "no-gaming" one you will notice that: "no-gaming" one doesn't have high range of DPI, doesn't have RGB (the most important thing nowadays for some people), no side-mappable buttons, no customizable hand form and if you are using a wireless one, the receiver will work over 2.4Ghz.
Moreover, doesn't exist a "perfect" gaming mouse, all the listed features are hardly together is a single product.
Nowadays the market is so full of mouses that the term "gaming" is abused. We tag everything as a gaming level product when they don't are like that. A lot of "standard mouses" are sold as gaming hardware by just adding RGB and DPI ranges, but we can't complain about it. The concept of "gaming" is so vague and fashion-based that it is so easy to mistake a "rich gaming related features" mouse from a "only fashion feature" one, or vice-versa.
To conclude, I like the Mad Catz R.A.T series but they are too much expensive for me!
- It should be wired because wireless communication adds a delay to the input. The so called "input lag";
- It should be weight customizable because different game needs different "sensitivity". As far I know only one mouse archived this;
- Its DPI variable features is considered "cheating" in some games;
- Without mappable side-buttons it is not a gaming mouse;
- Mouse "form-factor" must be customizable with different sets of accessories;

Quote:I'm also having problems with the new laptop mouse. I don't know though whether it's the Browser or the mouse. Every now and then, like regularly, whenever I select text, when I leave the selection it may jump or select more text. I've got to be so careful with selecting text as I can easily delete the wrong selection when it jumps like that. But again, I'm not sure whether that's a browser or mouse issue.@deanhills this issue can be related to low battery inside the mouse or signal disturbs for the 2.4Ghz frequency. Try using the mouse with a new battery in a "isolated place" without any radios surrounding you.
