Computer mouse – the best fit for your needs 

Types of computer mice 

A computer mouse is a basic accessory for a PC. We think it’s hardly conceivable to work without it. The variety of models available for purchase could give you a headache, so we decided to go through the major ones and give you more information on their most important features. Such a summary will hopefully make the choice of your perfect model easier. 

  • Optical and laser mice– the former are considered the most universal, since they work well even on uneven surfaces. Laser mice, on the other hand, are a bit more sensitive, which translates to smoother motion on the screen (more DPI = higher mouse sensitivity). 
  • Wired and wireless mice– as the name implies, the former work when they are connected to a computer with a cable. The latter, by contrast, connect via a wireless USB dongle. 
  • Mice with open and closed construction – an enclosed mouse chassis offers good protection of the insides from dust, making it easier to maintain. On the other hand, open chassis mice breathe better, which will certainly be appreciated by gamers and anyone who spends a lot of time at their computer. 

Which mouse design works best 

Computer mice are available in varying shapes and sizes. You’ll be able to buy both universal models and those dedicated to right- and left-handed users. Anything to meet all kinds of needs! ENDORFY sells mice with two types of chassis: 

  • Classic – enclosed and filled to the brim with high tech. Their sides are often covered with wear-resistant rubber that makes sure your mouse doesn’t slip out of your hand even when you move it around frantically. And the most important thing: their weight rarely goes above 80 grams.  
  • Honeycomb – can a mouse with honeycomb chassis work? It sure can, and if you’ll pardon the pun, it’s pretty sweet! Mice with “holes” have taken the market by storm and endeared themselves to plenty of people. After several hours of using this design, your hand practically doesn’t sweat, your grip is sure, and the removed bulk makes the mouse zoom around a pad like a racecar. 

Mousepad – an important accessory 

Why buy a mousepad? Does a mouse actually have to be used on its surface? Isn’t a desktop enough? The answer is simple – mouse sensors don’t love rough surfaces and even a little bit of texture- can significantly impact the precision of moving a cursor. On top of that, mice are equipped with glides, which wear down much more quickly when they rub against hard surfaces. A mousepad is meant not only to make glides last longer, but also to ensure smooth mouse motion and precise motion tracking by the sensor. Not to mention that the soft fabric is easier on your wrist than the desk. 

ENDORFY mousepads are manufactured from the CORDURA® material that has been used for years e.g. in clothing issued to the military. This fabric is nearly indestructible; it is long-lasting and resistant to fire and high temperatures. It is also fully waterproof. Spill a glass of water on your pad? Just wipe it with a dry rag and you’re back in action.

FAQ

How do I connect a mouse to the keyboard?

Good news! You don’t need to be a tech expert to connect a mouse to your computer. All you have to do is make sure you’ve installed all the necessary drivers (consult the producer’s instructions on this – software often installs on its own the first time you connect the mouse) and go through the following steps: 

  • For a wireless mouse – make sure the mouse is charged and plug the USB dongle to your computer’s USB port. 
  • For a wired mouse – just plug the cable into the computer’s USB port. 

In both cases, if the mouse is correctly plugged in, moving it should be reflected in the cursor on the computer screen moving accordingly. If your mouse doesn’t react to movement, contact the producer.  

How do I grip the mouse properly?

The variety of computer mice available can be daunting. You can choose not just from a variety of sensors and connection options, but also designs dedicated to specific kinds of activity – such as breathable honeycomb-style chassis for gamers. 

There are various kinds of grips that depend on the type of chassis and that allow you to take full advantage of the mouse’s potential. Below we’ve described the three that are the most interesting, and likely the most comfortable: 

  • Palm grip – the whole palm is in contact with the mouse. Many users think it’s the most comfortable, since the lower part of the hand and the forearm rest on the desk, which lessens the strain on the wrist. 
  • Claw grip – a grip with fingers that consists in placing two vertical fingers on the main mouse buttons while resting the thumb on your little rodent’s side. 
  • Fingertip grip – a combination of the above. Your fingers are shaped like claws and your fingertips rest against the mouse. The rest of the hand rests on the chassis, which removes strain from the arm and wrist. 

Which is better – an optical or a laser sensor?

The times where ball mice reigned supreme are in the past. Nowadays the most popular variants use optical or laser sensors (you can read more about this in the short material titled „Types of sensors in computer mice”). And no wonder – they precisely reflect your movements across a mousepad and they’re easy to maintain. So – which sensor is better? 

That depends. Laser mice are, as a rule, more sensitive, which allows you to use them with a higher DPI. This in turn means smoother movements of the cursor on the screen (more DPI = more sensitive mouse). This is sure to be appreciated especially by gamers and creative designers. Optical mice, on the other hand, are more universal, as they do well even on uneven surfaces. It’s a big advantage if you often use your computer while you’re out in the town or travelling.
