A gaming mouse should match your grip and games — not just light up your desk.
Wired vs Wireless
| Wired | Wireless | |
|---|---|---|
| Latency | Excellent | Modern 2.4GHz is fine |
| Hassle | Cable drag | Batteries/charging |
| Price | Often cheaper | Premium for good wireless |
Bluetooth-only mice can feel laggy for competitive play — prefer 2.4GHz dongles for gaming.
