Gaming mice vs the others

I've always wondered what is that makes a mouse a gaming mouse and why do these things cost 5-10 times more than the regular mice?

Design and precision of the laser I guess? And lots of options that can't be found in a regular Microsoft Laser mouse. Like weight adjusting. I remember seeing one of the characters from Transformers packed in a Razer box on the mice shelf.

Precision, speed and acceleration tolerance. The former two come from the high dpi rating and the latter keeps the mouse in control (not bugging it like most mice) when you switch directions rapidly.

I like the design of the gaming mice, very comfy.

Most people won't benefit from a gaming mouse, but once you use one, you will immediately notice the difference.

I think that gaming mouse are useful if you play a lot of FPS, where the speed is everything. Some of them has really clever design, but some are such a pain to use..

Yep, this is what they are made for. You can set the mouse to 3200 DPI (Logitech G9) for example and run the FPS with sensitivity of 1-3 and still have a pretty fast movement. The benefit of that is that the mouse move smoothly and not jumping several pixels at a time.

I believe that any middle class mouse would do for gaming(Logitech models for example)

Yep anything will do, but you will definitely feel the difference with a gaming mouse.

You will definately not feel the difference if it is a good middle class mouse....I`ve used both and everything is very exaggerated.....if you find qualitative and comfortable enough mouse for your hand in the middle class there is NO use of spending extra 60$
