Choosing a Precision Gaming Mouse - Programmable Macro Features

A gaming mouse will have three or more buttons and as it is designed for gaming means that a gamer will need to program the buttons available to each gaming mouse depending on the game it is to be used with.

In order to program a gaming mouse it is set with the software which tells the mouse that a certain button actions a certain assigned key within a game. An example of this is assigning the top left mouse button to the shift key which fires a weapon in the game, etc. Each button can be assigned any function you require, providing the gamer with the ultimate functionality and control.

Programming A Gaming Mouse

In gaming, a mouse can be useful in many situations and required in certain ways, so it is very useful to have flexibility within the mouse. Onboard memory can allow you to have this, as with some gaming mice you will have the ability to store profiles that include setting such as polling rate, dpi etc.

What's A Profile?

These profiles can be set up for certain types of gaming such as a lower dpi for a sniper mode so the movements are not as sensitive, which means you are more accurate when trying to snipe someone.

Change On The Fly!

While these profiles are extremely useful, gamers sometimes need to be able to switch these profiles quickly and with some gaming mice this is possible on the fly which adds a great competitive edge over other gamers who don’t have the same ability.
