Is a gaming mouse worth it?

In the name of the goddess of code: It depends. :^)

If you play a game that requires a high amount of DPI then yes, a good gaming mouse is worth it. If you're playing something more casual than a normal mouse will suffice IMO.

No, for me most of the mice available are way to small to fit in my hands. Gaming mice are all way to small for me.

@Codex404 yeah, I don't know what they make mice so freaking small these days. I miss those bulky PS/2 ones.

@telephantasm Logitech MX Master is great for people with big hands

@hashedram get something with good ergonomics. And that depends on you so try a lot of stuff out. If it's a "work" mouse, then sure, why not.

Please don't go for a mouse because it has fancy LEDs or an insane DPI count.

I used a Logitech G9 for a decade, until it finally had enough of the abuse, now abusing a G502.

I can not use other mice. Not because they're gaming mice, have rgb leds, or have good dpi... just because the weight and size is perfect.

I don't use a mouse when developing
Vim + qutebrowser + xmonad

For gaming I do use a gaming mouse and it makes a difference.

I used to have a Logitech G9 which sadly they don't make anymore. The mx master is the closest match to that one and I can strongly recommend it!

Currently use a Razer Naga Epic. I have big hand, and it fits perfectly. Plus, it has a support for your ring finger. Most comfortable thing evah
