You typically do not purchase a gaming mouse annually (unless you’re exceptionally accident-prone) so it can be simple to overlook the torrent of technology emerging. However, this year has yielded some of the finest gaming mice available, and surprisingly, two of those are from Turtle Beach while none are from Logitech (the previous year’s champion). Not being nominated in the last two years, this represents a psychological victory for Turtle Beach.
Each year, numerous commendable mice are produced by a variety of brands, but in 2024, three specific mice stand out for several reasons. It’s important to mention that sheer performance is not the sole criterion here. We do not simply choose the mouse featuring the highest DPI or the lightest weight; we engage in hands-on testing to truly evaluate how it operates on actual gaming setups in real games. We all desire a mouse that precisely reflects our actions on the mousepad (or table if you are a hardware enthusiast like me).
A staple of the finest gaming mice annually, Razer has delivered with its DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed, an extremely responsive and wallet-friendly powerhouse. Although the plastic surface tends to attract grease, this is one of the very few criticisms we can direct towards a mouse that performs significantly above its price bracket.
Additionally, Turtle Beach’s Kone II Air and Burst II Air receive nominations for their outstanding design. While they all merit recognition, only one can be declared the best gaming mouse of 2024.
