The Ultimate Mouse Hunt Part Two

Introduction

For a tutorial on mouse technologies and their impact on performance, we suggest you read the previous article .

The upshot of that article was that the G7 and G5 mice from Logitech stood out clearly from the pack with their laser-illuminated sensor and 2,000-dpi accuracy.

We found that while Logitech had raised the performance bar to a very high level, selecting the best out of the bunch between Microsoft, Razer and Logitech's offerings comes down to whether you are a gamer or merely an office app user.
