Looking for a mouse? See what you need to consider before buying!
Are you looking for the most comfortable mouse and don't know what to look for?
Come and see some key features and what you should take into account, depending on the use you want to make of it.
1. Connection type - The big dilemma
With a wireless mouse, you have greater freedom of movement and, usually, a more comfortable experience. However, you will need to charge it or change its batteries and deal with any possible interference that may occur.
It is the most classic type of connection and, while it may have limitations due to the use of a cable, it is the most reliable, since its direct connection ensures uninterrupted connectivity.
2. Sensor type
The sensor is one of the most important features of a mouse. Let's look at the 3 main types.
High sensitivity and high precision. It works on most surfaces and is ideal for graphic designers and professionals in general.
Moderate sensitivity with good precision. They cannot be used on surfaces that reflect light and are ideal for everyday use.
High sensitivity and precision, and they work on any surface.
3. Mouse type
Based on their design and size, there are 3 types of mouse.
The classic ones you find almost everywhere!
Smaller mice, easy to carry. Usually used in combination with a laptop.
Ergonomic and specially designed mice, for less strain on the hand. Essentially, the user holds the mouse with the palm in a vertical position, roughly like in a handshake.
4. Mouse buttons
Most mice have 3 buttons.
The extra buttons usually allow the user to assign frequent actions to them, increasing productivity. (e.g. navigation to the next or previous page, copy, paste, etc.)
5. Features
See some extra features your mouse may have.
It allows the hands, elbows, and wrists to remain in a natural position, resulting in higher productivity, reduced fatigue, and prevention of conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
A trackball mouse causes 20% less muscle fatigue in the hand, wrist, and forearm compared to a regular mouse.

Silent mice are designed so that they do not create the unnecessary noise that a classic mouse can make.

Do you know the use it is intended for? We know what you should pay attention to!
Simple, everyday
For simple everyday use, prefer a wired mouse, which will be more economical than a comparable wireless one, with optical sensor technology,
On the go
When you are constantly on the go, prefer a mini mouse, which you can easily always have with you, and perhaps wireless so you don't have to deal with cables. If you often go to libraries to study, choose a silent mouse to avoid possible complaints!
Gaming
When you are a gamer, every move counts, so you want the best possible response and the most comfortable design. Choose a wired mouse for greater reliability, laser technology for high precision, and ergonomic design so you can play for hours as comfortably as possible!
Graphic Design & Video Editing
Do you spend many hours in front of the computer & want to make your work easier? Prefer a mouse with high precision, either laser or bluetrack, with an ergonomic vertical design and plenty of buttons, so you can create the shortcuts that suit you best!
Don't forget! Many times there may be differences in a product, based on its overall features as well as its construction. Before deciding, read other users' reviews too, to see their opinion!
