In my initial searches for a new mouse for myself, the usual names like Razer, Corsair, HyperX and Logitech G made up most of the go-to picks I saw. But getting a mouse to match your grip and playing style can actually make a difference in your performance. I had never really given much thought to the mouse I used beyond switching from a wireless one to wired. I'm not a serious gamer and I don't stick to one type of game, though I do prefer first-person shooters.

Whether you're picking out your first gaming mouse, upgrading your current daily driver or just looking for something new, looking at the way you tend to grip your mouse is a good place to start your search. One way to narrow the field is to determine your ideal mouse grip type. It can be very complicated to decide which size and style of gaming mouse will work best for your needs, especially if you're on a budget. There are a lot of gaming mice out there - a lot - and they vary by the type of games you play and your playing style.
