If you're shopping for a new mouse,

you've come to the right place. As
computer mice come into PC Labs for
testing, there are several factors that we
weigh and consider in each device. What
sort of use is it intended for? What are
the features offered? Most importantly, how does it perform in the real
world?
First, we look at the intended use of the mouse. Is it meant for
day-to-day use with a desktop PC, or for on-the-go use with a laptop or
tablet? Is it a basic two-button mouse for browsing the Web, or a
tricked-out gaming mouse, built for competition? Different categories
have different needs, and each mouse is built to reflect the specifics of
that category. Desktop mice are made for everyday use, and have the
standard right and left buttons, a scroll wheel, and perhaps forward
and back buttons for navigating in your Web browser. Travel mice,
designed for use on the road, are usually much smaller, made to fit
easily into the pocket of a laptop bag or backpack, and connect quickly
without a tangle of wires. Gaming mice are an entirely different beast,
eschewing simplicity in favor of customization, and offering buttons
and controls that the average Facebook browser would never need.

There's also the question of connectivity. Wired connections, which

have a USB cable to plug directly into the PC, are simple and
straightforward, but they do tend to tangle and clutter up your desk.
Gamers prefer wired mice because they offer low latency and suffer
from fewer lag issues, but for many folks, a wireless mouse will do the
job just as well, without the added mess of yet another cable. Wireless
mice do have one drawback, however, and that is the need for
batteries. With no USB cord to draw power from, it's batteries all the
way, and even the most long lasting battery will eventually need to be
replaced.
Finally, while the regular two-button mouse may be familiar to most,
there's a new technology making gains in the mouse worldtouch.
With the advent of the touch-centric Windows 8, mice and trackpads
with touch and gesture support have become an essential tool for
anyone that wants to make use of Windows' touch-friendly features
without buying a new laptop or touch-enabled monitor. If you have yet
to upgrade your OS, touch may not seem that important, but gesture
