SteelSeries Computer Mice

The capabilities and features of Steel series mice give gamers an edge, helping to improve response time and precision. They're also sleek and stylish, with a cutting edge and futuristic design that looks good with a computer gaming set-up.

Adjustable settings allow for personalized configuration, and there are also both wired and wireless models from which to choose.

Types of games with mouse controls
A wide range of games rely on mouse controls, either by themselves or in combination with the keyboard. There are first-person shooters as well as exploration-based horror or puzzle games. Real-time strategy games also require quick mouse movements when making split-second decisions on where to send troops or other resources.

Multiplayer games, whether co-operative or competitive, also require the rapid response times and precision movements of a gaming mouse. This is especially essential in e-sports and other professional gaming applications where the real money is on the line.

Adjustable mouse settings
Steel series mice have multiple programmable buttons so each user can set up customized, preferred control layouts to cater to individual gaming styles. They also feature colorful lighting on the back and on the scroll wheel with options to change the color as desired. Some even have removable weights to create a preferred balance and responsiveness.

What optimizes a Steelseries mouse for gaming?
A mouse from Steelseries delivers rapid signals to the computer, whether it's using a wired or wireless connection. This minimizes or virtually eliminates the lag time between a gamer making a movement or sending another command and seeing the action happen in-game. Even tenths of a second may be crucial in some situations, making this a key feature.

Steel series mice also offer long battery life in wireless models, running for up to 10 hours and lasting through even an extended gaming session. Precise optical sensors provide a consistent movement ratio so that the movements of game characters match the movements of the mouse.

What is the best mouse grip style?
Steelseries mice have ergonomic designs for comfortable hand placement and textured sides for a nonslip grip. They also accommodate a range of mouse grip styles preferred by gamers.

There is the palm grip, where most of the hand's weight rests on the mouse with the fingers on the button. This creates smooth and accurate but slower movements since the whole arm must move for the mouse to move.

With the fingertip grip, only the ends of the fingers touch the mouse and movements are wrist-based. Using the claw grip, gamers can get qualities of the previous two grips for both greater control and comfort. Either experienced or new gamers may want to try out different styles. The shapes of some mice models are also more conducive to particular grip types.

Are Steelseries mice suitable for general use?
When a computer isn't in the middle of gaming session, a Steelseries gaming mouse also works for everyday computer tasks. They feature scroll wheels for moving up and down on web pages and in documents. Their high rate of precision also comes in handy when navigating within work applications or perusing documents.
