What’s the difference between a gaming mouse and a regular mouse?

The main difference between a gaming mouse and a regular mouse is that the former comes with additional or programable buttons, which make them perfect for custom gaming functions, superior sensors with adjustable sensitivity, no more freezing or skiping the screen, comes with higher DPI so small mouse movements can land on the prefect location where it is required. The latter only offers basic functionality that has the right, left, and scroll options. Moreover, gaming mice come with a higher refresh rate to prevent lag in GPU-demanding games, while regular mice have a lower refresh rate, such as a 500Hz range that is enough to carry out day-to-day tasks. You must know that gaming mice have contoured shapes while the regular ones are simple in design. A gaming mice like M65 RGB ULTRA have polling rates as high as 8,000Hz. Professional gamers use these mice to act instantly while moving less physically. These high refresh rate mouse differences can only be felt with a high refresh rate monitor.

A gaming mouse can last much longer, such as 2-5 years, and even more. Bear in mind that it should not fall from the table, as most of them are not drop-proof. Their click lifespan is anywhere between 20 million to 50 million clicks.
