What is the point of an overpriced "gaming" mouse

[Filipe]

You know the ones, those which looks like it comes straight from a sci-fi armor or robot, that have some weird buttons and stuff

I mean honestly I can't find the reason why some people just waste their money on something orverpriced like that when a normal mouse could do the job perfectly for gaming, I use the same microsoft mouse for over 5 years and it still works like new and it gives me a great precision for gaming

its because they try to lure in idiots by making their mice look edgy

I think we're really stretching the use of the word "edgy" at this point

[xSetrox]

because they are contoured to rest your hand and have better sensitivity or some stuff

that observation is very edgy

My mouse has 17 buttons. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yeah that's a great reason to spend 100$, 200$ or even more on a mouse...

I spent ten dollars on my mouse and the only reason I bought it was for a back and forward button on the side.

Well who doesn't want a mouse that looks like it can be a transformer?

Honestly though, they do kinda go overboard.

hey if you want a mouse that is:
-american made (maybe)
-has a thumb rest
-has a pinky rest
-has good sensitivity
-has keys you can program
then you're not going to spend like $20

it's for showing off, same reason people buy those ridiculous computer cases with lights and other stuff they don't need

[xSetrox]

then again there's this

One of my friends  has that mouse, it's actually pretty nice.

Anyone with a common sense would use the money of that overpriced mouse to buy other things that are actually useful, like upgrading the computer with a new graphics card, hell you can even buy a good phone with 200$
