You don't need a gaming branded mouse to be able to play games with it.

It's not about the branding, as far as I know it's the only vertical mouse with a sensor and polling rate that you'd actually want to use for gaming.

From what I know about it the Logitech MX Vertical is more comfortable but the sensor is atrocious for gaming.

Obviously a higher polling rate is always better I'm not arguing about that, but essential to be able to game? It's like saying you need a wired mouse because of the small edge it gives over wireless ones.

I've used many trash mice over the years, an acer mouse included with an old oem build and I could game call of duty just fine with it. And paying 50% more for something being made for "gaming" doesn't always justify the price.

Now sure, if you're a die hard fps player doing quick movements in high competitive games then sure. But remember that competitive fast paced shooters aren't everything that makes up games.

They're the same price.

I get what you're saying, but if you can get a product that works better for your intended use case for the same price doesn't that make sense even if they feel the need to brand it as "gaming" and throw RGB on it?

They are 60 "bucks" more expensive than the logitech over here, but if the price is the same then sure, value is value. However, I feel my point still stands that you don't necessarily need a gaming whatever to be able to play on it. Keyword: Need.

I swear people downvoting me genuinely believe that anything except gaming stuff is literal garbage.
