The customer’s life is not easy today. To buy a good product, it is not enough to have only money. In the era of such a diverse product range, equally important (maybe even more important) is the knowledge of product specifications, as well as the awareness that certain elements of this specification are more important than others, even if it looks different at first glance. Take, for example, the resolution of a mouse sensor measured in DPI, which manufacturers are still trying to impress. They even offer customers 16 thousand. DPI, while users with peace of mind are enough 3 thousand. DPI. Ultimately, the precision of the sensor turns out to be more important here. The same applies to the subject of backlighting. The durability of the switches or the length of battery life may be more important than RGB LED. This buying guide aims to indicate 18 mouse and keyboard models from the morele.net store database that are the best quality and functionality in relation to the price, thanks to which you will avoid many similar dilemmas described above.

Today it is not enough to have only money to get a good product. In the era of such a diverse product range, equally important (maybe even more important) is knowledge of device specifications, as well as the awareness that some elements of this specification are more important than others, even if it looks different at first glance. Take, for example, the resolution of a mouse sensor described as DPI, which manufacturers are still trying to impress. They even offer customers 16 000 DPI, while most users can easily be enough 3000 DPI. Ultimately, the precision of the sensor turns out to be more important here. The same applies to the subject of backlighting, and yet more important than RGB LED is the durability of the switches or the length of battery life. This buying guide aims to identify 18 the mouse and keyboard models that offer the best quality and functionality in price, so you will avoid many of the similar dilemmas described above.

Choosing the right mouse or keyboard is only apparently easy. In the era of such a diverse shop assortment, it is not difficult to buy something that will ultimately not meet our expectations. That’s why this guide was created – to help you find the best mouse and keyboard.

The real differences that define the functionality of mice and keyboards lie not only in their appearance, but most of all in their interior. The most significant element influencing the performance of a mouse is undoubtedly its sensor. is basically a newer solution, optical mice are still doing very well, although they cannot work on surfaces such as glass, they are not susceptible to e.g. undesirable smoothing of cursor movements. Other important elements that can influence the selection of the mouse are e.g. . the number of configurable buttons or additional weights that will add weight to the structure at the discretion of the owner. The shape of the mouse is also important, and what is the id It is adapted to the size of our hand and the preferred grip. So what should you consider when choosing a mouse?

• Sensor and resolution : For office work, we only need a mouse with a maximum DPI of up to 2.5 thousand. Here, the shape of the mouse will count more than the type of sensor, thanks to which we will be able to work without fatigue in the hands and wrists. Players should be interested in mice with slightly higher maximum resolutions, from 3 to 5 thousand. DPI (ceiling if we are playing in 4K resolution or on a multi-monitor stand). Fortunately, we have a database of the most precise sensors, so it is worth looking at models “armed” with sensors such as: PixArt PMW 3325, PMW 3330, PMW 3310, PMW 3360, PMW 3389, Mercury, HERO or TrueMove3.
• LED backlight : Many players like LED lighting, but you have to remember that the quality of these illuminations can vary. For example, some mice and keyboards only glow with one color, while others with the entire RGB palette. It should also be remembered that the peripherals can have several backlight zones and many modes, and also allow you to manage the backlight intensity or switch it off completely. Important in this matter is also extensive computer software, dedicated to a given model.
• Grip, weights, switches : Claw (grip à la claw), Fingertip (grip with fingertips) and Palm (grip with the whole palm) – these are all the types of grips we use to handle mice. They depend on both the structure of the mouse and the size of our hand. It is worth knowing whether we will be able to use a given mouse with our favorite grip, even before buying it. The weight of the mouse is also important – some people like ultra-light constructions, while others appreciate it when the mouse can be loaded with weights. Finally, we have the issue of switches used in “rodents”. The vast majority of mice work on Japanese OMRON switches and at least such switches should be found in the dream mouse.

The choice of the keyboard breaks down with the next series of decisions. It is a bit more difficult than in the case of mice, as keyboards offer much more functionality and a large part of it is “embedded” in dedicated software. The basic choice should be the type of switches the structure is built on. Some, due to their work culture, are better suited for writing, others for playing (although this is not a rule, as there are players who like to play on switches, which are generally recommended for writing). The matter is even more difficult because until recently, there were basically two or three manufacturers of mechanical switches, and today almost every manufacturer of keyboards also produces their own proprietary solutions. So what is worth paying attention to when choosing a keyboard for work or play?

• Keyboard type: We have membrane, mechanical, hybrid and optical keyboards on the market. Each of them has a different work culture. Currently, it is customary to use mechanical devices for playing, and membrane ones (slowly returning to favor) for writing. The latter are definitely quieter due to their construction. The silent operation of membranes and the responsiveness of mechanics are trying to combine hybrid and optical keyboards with a better or worse effect, but this is still only a fraction of keyboards on the market.
• Type of mechanical switches : We can find the most of these switches on the market. They are produced by brands such as Outemu, Kailh or Cherry, but their colors, regardless of the manufacturer, always reflect their features. The blue ones are quite loud and “hard” switches with a noticeable activation point, recommended for people who write a lot. The red ones are line switches for players. There are also brown switches (a bridge between red and blue), Speed ​​or Silent switches introducing e.g. lower delays or less noise, but they all have basically common features that can also be found in proprietary switches from companies such as Cooler Master, Razer, HyperX or SteelSeries.
• Additional options: Keyboards just like mice can offer more, the more the dedicated software allows. Some will allow, for example, to record macros or assign a backlight color to each key separately. Keyboards, regardless of the type, can also be equipped with wrist rests that play an ergonomic role. Manufacturers also install volume knobs or dedicated displays in keyboards, as well as additional USB ports. Along with such equipment, the price of the device increases, of course, but it is worth knowing that the presence of additional gadgets does not necessarily mean that a given structure is refined at more basic angles, such as the quality of switches or the quality of materials from which it was made.

The guide is intended primarily for less advanced users who are unsuccessfully looking for a new mouse or keyboard. The list includes the designs selected by us at prices ranging from 50 to almost 1000 PLN, but without clearly delimiting the subpages to office or gaming peripherals. However, whether a given model is dedicated to players or classic computer work, we inform you in the tables with the specifications. However, the fact that a specific device was created for a specific purpose does not automatically mean that it will not be suitable for other activities. A gaming mouse offering, for example, an ergonomically contoured shape, will be successfully used for gaming, browsing the web or documents. Similarly, gaming keyboards: models with certain features, such as membrane switches or blue mechanical switches, will be a very good compromise for people who both play and write a lot. This guide, prepared in cooperation with the morele.net store, is now a supplement to the recommended computer sets and will be updated quarterly.
