The short answer

Look at four things: DPI (how far the cursor moves), weight, the number of buttons and the polling rate. The S600 RGB Gaming Mouse is the light pick at about 100 g and up to 2400 DPI. The Jertech Sword XP11 suits players who want macros, with 6 macro buttons, up to 3200 DPI and adjustable 125 to 1000 Hz polling. The mouse in the T-WOLF TF950 combo goes up to 8000 DPI. All three are wired USB and ship island-wide in 2–3 business days.

Quick answers

What DPI do I need for gaming?

There is no single right number. DPI sets how far the cursor travels, so you choose a level you can control. The S600 gives you four levels to switch between with a button, and the XP11 goes up to 3200 DPI.

What is polling rate?

It is how many times a second the mouse reports its position to your PC. The Jertech XP11 lets you set it anywhere from 125 Hz to 1000 Hz.

Are these gaming mice wired or wireless?

All three are wired USB mice.

Do I need a mouse pad?

A pad gives the mouse a smooth, steady surface. The RS-07 RGB mouse pad is 900 × 300 mm, big enough for a keyboard and a mouse.

Can I pay Cash on Delivery for a gaming mouse in Sri Lanka?

Yes. Pay by Cash on Delivery or bank transfer. Delivery is island-wide in 2–3 business days.
