New Mouse: Buying Guide

2,097

Whether it’s wireless, optical or gaming, it does not matter: everyone has a mouse that suits their needs. Let’s see together the best ones to buy.

What is without a shadow of doubt the most important device used on the PC like the keyboard? Surely the mouse, small input device can convert the movements of our hand and our fingers moving cursor and click on the operating system. Even the old mouse has evolved in these years and has gone from those with a ball inside the new optical mouse with LED technology or laser.

The mice have embraced wireless technology to reduce the size of the wires, but the best are still those with the wire, especially if we have to play and maximum precision is required.

Let’s start to see the main differences:

The optical mouse uses the reflection of one or more lights (LED) to monitor movement on a flat surface. The reflected light arrives at the optoelectronic sensors that reveal the displacement.
Laser mice work in the same way only that the light is generated by a laser; laser mice work the same way but require a perfectly smooth and possibly dark surface to run at full capacity (an optical mouse would work fine on a desk without a mat, while a laser mouse will hardly work without a suitable mat).

With regard to transmission technology, the classic wire is always preferred if you need absolute precision (gaming and photo editing); wireless or Bluetooth technology is good for home use, but make sure they use frequencies other than WiFi, otherwise it may ” collide ” with nearby networks, making mouse movement worse.
