Right-handed wired gaming mouse

The GIGABYTE AORUS M5 is a right-handed wired gaming mouse built around a 16000 dpi optical sensor and a USB connection. It supports Windows 10, 8 and 7 and is intended for players who want adjustable sensitivity and a shape made for right-hand use.

Questions about this item

Which DPI setting should I choose for different game genres?

The sensor reaches 16000 dpi and you can switch between presets instantly using the on-the-fly DPI button, so you can set a high value for fast-paced shooters and a lower one for precision aiming.

What does the 16000 dpi figure actually deliver in daily use?

It provides a very high maximum sensitivity ceiling for fast movements, while the on-the-fly button lets you drop to precise low-DPI settings for sniping or detailed work.

What does the USB interface cap in practice?

The wired USB connection delivers stable, low-latency polling without the bandwidth limits or battery concerns of wireless alternatives.
