Is a gaming mouse pad necessary for gaming?

There is no need for a typical “game mouse” to play the game. The only necessary condition that the mouse should be used for the game is how it works. Only. Although approved, some mouse builds are more for gaming purposes and are usually preferred by those who play certain games.

For example, usually, they usually type faster, more accurate/more precise, and more comfortable, but this is personal preference, and some will have extra buttons, so it’s faster and easier to use the numeric keys/keypad without having to Take your hand or finger away from the movement and camera control. They are often used in games such as MMOs, especially when you have a hot bar with many abilities.

I have had two “game mice” since I entered PC games in the past few years. Both of them are from Razer, my first one is the Razer Naga Hex, which has the side buttons for numbers 1-6, the second one, which I am currently using, is the Razer Naga 2014, which has side buttons 1-12. They all achieved their goals now, but they did a good job when they first used them. I mainly play MMOs when getting them, so the extra side buttons are great and very easy to use, but it may take some time to get used to and remember which buttons are there.

Although they soon began to die on me, they soon died. The side buttons of the two are the first things to go, usually one button will die, or two adjacent buttons will die, or just click on them without detecting the input, unless you press hard or press at a strange angle Let it pick it up. It may not be relevant, but I have it, and I am currently using the Razer Chroma keyboard, which does not take a long time to show the same death symptoms. But the keyboard is a completely different discussion topic.

Overall, no they are not necessary, I have used a cheap mouse for a short time, they work very well, although I personally prefer the game mouse I play. Gaming mice are usually built for convenience and ease of use with certain games. As mentioned in the other answer, whether it is called “game mouse” or not, it is best to stay away from the wireless mouse, wireless usually has a short delay or input delay, you are likely to risk letting it die on your worst time. Wired is always better if possible. Also, I recommend avoiding Razer mouse pad. They are cool and gorgeous but expensive. After four Razer products, I don’t believe they are worth it. I am currently looking to stay away from Razer and switch to other brands. But this is my personal experience with them.

It depends on what you do with the mouse and what kind of mouse you have. If you don’t play so many video games, you won’t need expensive mouse pads. Yes, there is a cheap gaming mouse pad, which in my opinion is almost identical to an expensive game. If you use an expensive mouse, basically it can be used on almost any surface. You don’t need a specific mouse pad gaming unless your target requires more precision. But for the average gamer, you can’t really distinguish between cheap or expensive mouse pads.

I am not a professional gamer, but I often play games. I don’t need a perfect goal because I don’t play online and I don’t have competition. But I did use a fancy mouse pad, but it was purely for aesthetic purposes.

The gaming mouse has many features. The macro button is one of obvius. But for me personally, it is not very useful.

I pay more attention to the grip, the standard mouse has the basic standard size, weight and so on.

I prefer bigger and heavier mice. Many gaming mice have adjustable weights and shapes that may fit your hand and grip.

When I was intern, I was forced to use a very small mini mouse, which was very uncomfortable. Exceeding it was actually a slight grip on my right hand, until now it still exists (because God did not develop into a carpal tunnel)

Anyway, you will want your hand to hold the mouse more comfortable on your wrists and hands, especially if you spend a lot of time in front of the computer. Since gaming mice are usually coated with rubber instead of cheap plastic, you may find that the touch is good even after prolonged use.

When my sister mouse broke down, I ordered some of her lightweight little gaming mice. She likes it because it is comfortable and fits her hand.

For real gamers, the gaming mouse may look flashy and hard, but its quality of service is usually higher. The gaming mouse is not always expensive, I only used it for 12 bucks (it’s the Dragon War series – I tried the variant type, which is best for my wrists and hands) – once you find the right one for you Mouse, you won’t feel comfortable when you use the basic basics.
