Picking a gaming mouse is a very personal endeavor. Everyone's hands are different, everyone's preferences and needs are different, and we all play different games. That's why we're lucky to live in the golden age of gaming mice, with major manufacturers pouring engineering muscle into one-upping each other. The result is a market loaded with high-quality yet relatively inexpensive gaming mice.

While I can't tell you precisely which mouse is right for you, I can give you a few recommendations. So, here they are: our recommendations for the best gaming mouse for every kind of gamer.
