BEST GAMING MOUSE EVER

The 10 Best Gaming Mice of 2016
Every PC gamer owns a mouse, but not every PC gamer owns the best gaming mouse for hipfiring in a shooter like Overwatch or clicking 100 times per minute in MOBAs like League of Legends. The best gaming mouse for you, like the Razer Deathadder or the Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum, won't just fit your hand like the perfect tool. It'll have lower latency than a standard office mouse, come with better software for custom tweaking, support higher DPI (aka CPI, or counts per inch) settings, and use sensors that keep up with faster movements. If you play any games more intense than Solitaire, you should be doing it with a gaming mouse. But which gaming mouse?

Razer's latest version of the Deathadder, the Deathadder Elite, features a new sensor that makes it the best version of the Deathadder yet. Razer didn't touch the mouse's perfect shape, making this iteration our new favorite gaming mouse.Personal preference matters, but not all mice are created equal. There are many, many bad gaming mice out there, with sensors that aren't up to snuff, terrible driver software, or cheap build quality. We've used dozens of gaming mice to pick out the best you can buy for different hand sizes, grip types, and gaming preferences.

The Razer Deathadder has the best shape of any gaming mouse I've ever used, and I’ve spent a few hundred hours playing games, using Photoshop, and browsing the Internet with it over the years. It's a testament to the design of the mouse that Razer releases a new version every year or two and updates the sensor, or adds lighting, or slightly alters the gripping material, but never messes with the Deathadder's shape. It's that good. The new Deathadder Elite continues that tradition, and while it's slightly more expensive than our last recommendation, the Deathadder Chroma, the new sensor should be worth the price.
The Deathadder Elite uses a 16,000 CPI optical sensor, but big numbers don't necessarily mean much when it comes to mouse specs. Here's the important bit: for the Elite Razer chose a sensor based on the PMW-3366 developed by sensor company Pixart in collaboration with Logitech, which I've called the best mouse sensor available since it debuted in 2014. While there can be small differences in how these sensors work between mice (software implementation also effects how the data from the sensor is processed), the simple version is that the Elite has a great sensor that will perform well in any game you throw at it.

BEST BLUETOOTH MOUSE REVIEW

Why Buy a Bluetooth Mouse? The top performers in our review are the  Logitech MX Master , the Gold Award winner; the  Microsoft Sculpt Touch , the Silver Award winner; and the  Logitech Ultrathin T630 , the Bronze Award winner. Here's more on choosing a Bluetooth mouse to meet your needs, along with detail on how we arrived at our ranking of 10 Bluetooth mice . A computer mouse is an often-overlooked tool. You don't tend to think about it until it stops working or the cursor stops responding effectively to your movements. Your mouse is a digital extension of your hand within your computer. It allows you to grab, drop, draw, outline, cut, copy and paste. Your mouse can be as simple as a single-blade pocketknife or as complex as a deluxe Swiss army knife. It's a critical tool that allows you to optimize your digital efficiency. Without one, you won't get very far. A Bluetooth mouse is functionally no different from a typical mouse except that it has no wire...

The iPhone 5s Review

For much of the iPhone's life Apple has enjoyed a first-mover advantage. At the launch of the first iPhone, Steve Jobs expected the device and OS would give it a multi-year head start over the competition. Indeed that's how the market played out. Although Android was met with some early success, it wasn't until well after the launch of the first Android devices that we started seeing broad, mainstream acceptance of the platform. The iPhone bought Apple time, and together with the iPad it brought Apple a tremendous amount of profit over the years. The trick of course is turning a first-mover advantage into an indefinitely dominant market position, a difficult task when you're only making one device a year. Today we find Apple in a very different position. The iPhone is still loved by a very loyal customer base, but the competition is much stronger than it was back in 2007. The modern smartphone market has also evolved. When Apple introduced...

ACER PREDATOR 17

Acer Predator 17 (7700HQ, GTX 1070, UHD) Laptop ReviewFlorian Glaser ,  Gaming   Geforce   Kaby Lake   Notebook   Windows 4K Gaming.  The Acer Predator series stands for classical gaming notebooks, which – in contrast to some of their slim siblings – are purely trimmed for performance. After we tested the Skylake version of the Predator 17 in September of 2016, now the Kaby-Lake model, which is similarly built on the outside, must prove itself. Anyone looking for a powerful high-end notebook that offers more power than a  GeForce GTX 1050 Ti  ( Aspire VX5-591G ) or  GeForce GTX 1060  ( Aspire VN7-593G ) will find it in the Predator series. Starting at 2000 Euros (~$2238), the massive gaming giants are either equipped with a  GeForce GTX 1070  (Predator 17) or the front-runner from Nvidia's Pascal-generation, the  GeForce GTX 1080  ( Predator 17 X ), which promises sufficient performance fo...
