Our top 5 picks for FPS games

In FPS games, timing, speed, and accuracy are everything. While your success is largely down to your skill level and reaction times, having the right hardware also makes a major difference.

You don’t want input lag from your mouse to reduce the accuracy of your shots in games like Call of Duty. And in other team-based shooters like Apex Legends, being able to ping your teammates quickly and easily matters.

While the optimal sensitivity will depend on your own preferences, many professional gamers in titles like Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) and Valorant recommend a setting around 800DPI. For immersive environments like in Apex Legends, being able to turn around 180 or more degrees quickly and accurately helps you combat sneak attacks.

In terms of responsiveness, around 1ms (1000Hz) delivers a desirable response time that won’t cost you when it comes to millisecond-differences during an in-game shootout. In games like Call of Duty: Warzone’s battle royale mode, this input delay can be the difference between a win or loss.

So to make sure you can perform at your best, here are our five choices for the best FPS gaming mice from Redragon to choose from…
