Razer Computer Mice

Razer mice are high-precision pointing devices for playing video games on computers. Compared to regular computer mice, gaming mice have advanced sensors that register fast movements more accurately. Razer offers models that allow users to adjust sensitivity and tracking speed. Optional features include adjustable weights and extra, programmable buttons.

Choose from different types of Razer mice
This gaming brand offers both wired and wireless mice. Modern wireless mice are just as responsive as wired units and suitable for playing fast-action games. Wired units are lighter, more affordable, and not prone to wireless interference. They also don’t need charging. As untethered peripherals, wireless mice allow a wider range of wrist movement. They also help reduce cable clutter on gamer’s computer desks. Razer makes gaming mice that use optical and laser sensors. Both types of sensors offer lag-free gaming experiences, and the one to choose depends on personal preference.

Gamers should also consider their favorite titles when picking mice. Those that prefer multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) and massively multiplayer online (MMO) games need mice with many programmable buttons. First-person shooter (FPS) games require lightweight mice that slide around easily and buttons for lowering their dots per inch (dpi) on the fly. Razer also offers hybrid or all-purpose gaming mice with flexible designs suitable for all playing all video game genres.

Consider grip style when picking a Razer mouse
Large, wide mice are for gamers with a palm grip. Using this grip style, the whole palm rests on the body of the peripheral while the fingers lie flat on the buttons. When using it with a fingertip grip style, the palm hovers over the mouse while the tips of the index, middle, and ring fingers rest lightly on the mouse’s left side, center wheel, and buttons, respectively. Claw grip style has the palm resting on the back edge of the peripheral with the thumb and other fingers angling sharply while touching the buttons. Slim and narrow mice with extended click buttons are ideal for claw grip users while short and lightweight ones are best for fingertip grip style.

Is the dpi rating important when shopping for Razer mice?
Yes. However, the ability to adjust the dpi is more important for gaming mice. This helps gamers balance speed and accuracy. A high dpi setting means the user can move the cursor from one end of the screen to the other while only moving the mouse a little. This sacrifices speed for accuracy but is ideal for close-quarter gaming action. Long-range interactions require low dpi to improve accuracy.

What is a wireless power Razer mouse?
This is a Razer pointing device that draws power from a wireless charging pad. It’s different from a wireless mouse. Razer’s wireless power mice have built-in capacitors capable of drawing power from wireless pads connected to users’ computers. They’re not battery-powered devices and are, therefore, lightweight and nimble. These devices can also double as wired mice and used without the included charging pads.

Are there ambidextrous Razer mice?
Yes. These are suitable for both left- and right-handed users. Ambidextrous gaming mice provide left-handed users with high-precision pointing devices with flexible and customizable features. They have symmetrical bodies with an equal number of buttons placed on both sides.
