As title - does a gaming mouse really make any difference for gaming over an ordinary mouse? I mostly play fps games, and if so what would you recommend?

Dont want to spend a fortune, but must be quality, and I have smallish hands - so comfortable would be nice.This is a bit vague I know but any advice would be great.

Happy new year all.

It supposedly does (I have no experience though.) The amount of DPI allows you to make much more minute movements with the mouse which is good for stuff like FPS's and other sensitive aimer games.

Thanks for that - will wait for some others to chime in with suggestions perhaps.

Phew - thanks for all the input guys.Now some more info on what I currently use and the way I hold my mouse (yes I did say mouse) Lol. I am currently using a wireless Microsoft 2000 mouse. From all the input here it would appear I am a palm type, and not claw, but I am quite fingertip oriented - if that helps? Must admit I did not realise there is so much to this, but I would like to possibly make an informed decision before buying.

I would have preferred wireless - but it seems all the best gaming mice are wired, I can adjust and live with that I think. My budget would be somewhere between £40-£70 max, but don't wish to spend unnecessarily. I like the suggestion of using the gaming mouse just for gaming and perhaps swapping back to the everyday mouse for general use.

So fire away with your best suggestions guys, and many thanks for all the help, and advice so far.

Happy new year to all

If OP is going to spend the same amount on either a gaming or non-gaming mouse, which he is going to use for FPS gaming, then surely a gaming mouse would cater for his needs more so than a non gaming one? :confused:

Bought a Roccat Kone XTD in the end - and am very happy so far, but not had a chance to use it in anger yet as such - so I will see how it goes.
