With the rise of PC gaming and the reemergence of desktop computers, manufacturers and game peripheral companies have been quick to release new accessories and peripherals every week. While all the new stuff that’s coming out to play with is awesome, nothing is more important or as essential as the mouse.
Whether you’re playing a quick game of Hearthstone or mowing enemies down in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, having the right mouse set up can put you in a winning advantage. Having extra assignable buttons or a changeable DPI are essential to any person trying to game on the PC.
Check out our picks for the top five best mice for your computer:
1. Logitech MX Anywhere 2S
Logitech
Price: $79.99
Buy: Amazon
Logitech’s – slightly cheaper than Master edition – mouse on this list features full use on most any surface and a deep and robust customization suite that allows users to use the mouse exactly how they want. Its travel-friendly size and the ability to use on both PC & Mac makes the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S a worthy mouse for any of life’s settings. Logitech is promising 70-days of battery life on a full charge, which is a significant jump in comparison to the previous generation’s 40-day rating. There’s very little physical difference between Master releases and the previous generation. Logitech offers the MX Anywhere 2S in three colors – Graphite, Light Grey, and Midnight Teal. Logitech also introduced ‘Flow‘ software. Flow allows users to control three devices simultaneously without needing to flip a switch or toggle any software. The MX Anywhere 2S is perhaps Logitech’s best mouse yet and is a must-have, even for gaming.
