E-sport's and gaming's popularity has been on the steep rise in recent years. With titles like League of Legends, Fortnite, CS:GO and Valorant that keep on gaining more and more popularity over the years players are more willing to invest money in better gaming gears such as gaming mice and keyboards.
Why pick a gaming mouse for League of Legends?
Say you are getting destroyed in a video game, you muster up the determination to become better at it. You keep going at it and you keep slowly climbing up the ranks and here the problem starts. Say you are playing a shooter like Fortnite or CS:GO. You get the mouse cursor over the enemy , shoot and a split second later you are the one that gets killed. You check your ping and it's fine. so Why does this happen? Because the reaction for a normal mouse can take up to 0.3ms - 0.5ms while the reaction time for the mice we are about to wholeheartedly recommend is 0.1ms or less. Which makes mice made specifically for gaming 3 to 5 times faster than normal mice. Now this is not to say that every time you get killed it is your mouse or keyboards fault. But a decent percentage of your deaths can be turned into net positives if you have the right mouse which will give you the momentum needed.
Does a gaming mouse matter for MOBAS?
Now you see why mouse reaction speed would matter very much in shooter games but why would it matter in strategic games such as MOBA games?
Well right off the bat for a title such as League of Legends which has a lot of fast paced gameplay being 3 times faster with your mouse clicks actually means a lot. Say you want to do a riven combo which with a normal mouse takes around 1 second. With a mouse tailored for gaming you could probably do the same combo in 0.5 if done properly. And also think about how these inputs add up overtime. So why would you want to keep going with a normal mouse when you can get a gaming one for an affordable price?
