I grab the Vortech Essential gaming mouse when I want to game without any hassle. I plug in the USB-A cable and start gaming immediately. That works well when I play a quick game. The mouse feels light in my hand and responds quickly to my movements. As a result, I keep my focus on the game and get started right away.
Comfortable in the hand The Vortech Essential has a standard size and fits well in my hand. I use it as a right-handed mouse, and it feels immediately familiar. During long sessions, I notice that the palm grip works well because my hand stays steady on the mouse. At 60 grams, the mouse also feels light. This allows me to slide it quickly across my mouse pad and easily make short, fast movements.
Handy during gaming The mouse has 6 buttons and a scroll wheel. There are 2 thumb buttons on the side. I use these a lot during gaming for quick actions, such as switching weapons or using a skill. That works well because I keep my most important actions close to my thumb. This allows me to click through faster during busy moments in a game. This mouse also works on any surface. I find that handy, because I use it not only on a mouse pad, but also on my desk.
Fast control While gaming, I particularly notice how fast this mouse responds. The optical sensor reaches a DPI of up to 12,000. This allows me to aim precisely and adjust the sensitivity to my play style. The polling rate of 1,000 hertz also helps with this, as my input comes through quickly. I notice this especially in games like Overwatch, but also in racing games and other games where timing is important. My movements feel precise and controlled. I mainly use this mouse in one fixed spot, because it is wired. That provides a stable connection, but I am always tethered to a cable. I also miss programmable buttons when I really want to adjust a lot of settings. As a result, for me, this remains primarily a simple gaming mouse that responds quickly and has nice thumb buttons.
