In my quest to find the perfect mouse for me, I’ve ended up with two completely different ones
A PC Gamer writer shares their journey to find the ideal computer mouse, ultimately determining that no single mouse could meet all their needs. After years of searching, they’ve settled on two mice that serve different purposes, acknowledging the inherently subjective nature of mouse selection due to varying hand shapes, finger lengths, and use cases.
