Mice have come a long way with consistent improvements throughout the years. The best mouse for you suits your hand size, feels right for your grip, and has the features needed for today's gaming standards.

High DPI is an essential feature for a gaming mouse. The higher the max DPI of a mouse, the better it performs, the lower DPI, though sensors have improved technologically and a combination of IPS and DPI is necessary.

IPS is inches per second, the maximum velocity at which a mouse sensor can track the movement and be accurate.

There are two types of sensors, optical and laser. Optical sensors have better accuracy and laser sensors work on more surface types. This article will list the best mouse with high DPI for gaming.

Maximum DPI12000
Weight61g
Battery LifeN/A
Programmable Buttons6

One of the lightest mice on the market with incredible performances suited for FPS gamers. For weight-saving, the body has a honeycomb surface with cutouts and is made up of plastic. The sensor has a sensitivity of 12000 DPI and 250 IPS which can be tweaked in the Glorious software.

The Model D Minus comes with four pre-installed feet of various sizes. The biggest feet increase glide, whereas the smallest ones decrease glide and increase control.

The software includes all the features it is expected to have with an extra feature of changing the debounce time, the cooldown time after your click registers an input, and can register another one.

For FPS gaming, the lowest value is recommended. There is also a slightly bigger version called Model D and the mice come in glossy or matte in black and white.
