These gaming mice (or ‘mouses’ if you’re one of those people) are mouth-wateringly cool. We’re talking Lamborghini Aventador good-looking – and more expensive than a return flight to Dar es Salaam.

Also, they are pretty good for gaming, I guess.

Take a look at our roundup of the feistiest mice available in SA right now, based on expert reviews.

Razer Ouroboros – R1,876

This wireless beauty has detachable side panels, an adjustable palm-rest, 11 programmable buttons, and, to top it all off, green LEDs.

PC Mag awarded  the mouse 4/5 and praised it for its overall performance.

• Response time – 1ms
• Weight – 135 grams
• Battery life while gaming – 12 hours

R.A.T 9 – R1,710

Move around its multiple weights to get it perfectly balanced, and tell your younger siblings it is a transformer waiting to to join Megatron and his evil forces.

This ensures solid gaming sessions without distraction.

PC Mag gave it 4/5, lauding its customisable options and its wireless performance.

• Response time – 1ms
• Weight – 163 grams
• Battery life while gaming – 9 hours

Logitech G602 – R1,065

This little guy runs on 2 AA batteries, but if those Duracells are weighing you down, you can take one out and keep on gaming.

The G602 was given 4/5 by PC Mag, who liked its design and button placement.

• Response time – 2ms
• Weight – 153 grams (with two batteries)
• Battery life – 250 hours (in Performance Mode)

SteelSeries Sensei Wireless – R1,774

SteelSeries promises its wireless offering can deliver tournament-grade performance comparable to its wired counterparts.

The Sensei lets you tune settings such as lift distance, button functionality, and it was awarded 4/5 by PC World.

• Response time – 1ms
• Weight – 120 grams
• Battery life while gaming – 16 hours

Razer Mamba – R1,699

The Mamba allows you to programme five profiles into its little mouse brain, which then load automatically when certain applications are launched.

It can be used with or without a wire, and promises the same performance either way. PC Mag awarded it 4/5.

• Response time – 1ms
• Weight – 136 grams
• Battery life while gaming – 16 hours

Corsair Vengeance M65 – R749

The M65 comes with the standard bells and whistles, including adjustable weights, an aluminium body, and selectable response times.

The M65 is the cheapest of the lot and does not come with a wireless option, but PC Mag gave it a respectable 4/5.

• Response time – 1ms
• Weight – 164 grams
