A good gaming mouse is a valuable (if not essential) sidekick for any PC gamer. Gaming mice provide superior tracking, higher accuracy, and far more features than standard optical mice--and once you experience this, you'll never want to go back. (And if you do, you will feel like you are mousing in oatmeal.)
Gaming mice offer a wide range of features above and beyond standard computer mice--they are the "sports cars" of computer mice. (Contrary to their association with games, gaming mice represent the high-end of computer peripherals, not just 'kids stuff!')
Any good gaming mouse--even entry level ones-- will provide superior precision, tracking characteristics, and customization options above and beyond a standard Mouse. (Check out my Gaming Mouse Buyer's Guide for a little information to help you pick one that's best for you.)
To date I've personally used, abused, and reviewed more than 35 (and counting) gaming mice from the most prominent manufacturers, including Razer, SteelSeries, Mad Catz, Logitech, and many more. This list holds 10 of my favorites; in other words, the mice I'm most likely to recommend to a friend. (Note that some of these have been 'refreshed' since I first reviewed them.)
