What do you consider as the best or most ideal gaming mouse software out there?

For keyboard software the consensus seems to be wooting since their software can be browser based and is additionally open source which is pretty huge. Granted their keyboards do a lot more but even without their tech, its unrivaled in terms of raw quality that their software can offer. However with gaming mice its not so clear cut.

The three things that make a good gaming mouse software in my eyes are

1. low to no memory/cpu background usage while gaming (Corsairs iCUE software for instance is a massive resource hog)

2. you can find everything you need within the software without issues (and the software does not try to nuke itself or your computer, looking especially at armory-crate)

3. the mouses that use the software are perfectly fit for "competitive" gaming (I game using an office mouse but I don't think people would want to use one for competitive games so judge this criteria however you see fit).

There might be other things not on the criteria that might be useful but these are the things people should expect when getting a high-end mouse (though if you think I am missing criteria let me know).

Oh and yes you can vent on crappy peripheral software but keep it to a minimum. People rant about Corsair, ASUS, and especially Razer software almost all the time.

There are numerous mice companies out there be it finalmouse, pwnage, vaxee, LAMZU, and far too many more to count. If you have had good experiences with a certain gaming mice and its respective software (and it does not eat away resources) mention the mouse and its respective software.
 
I don't have a "favorite" mouse software. If necessary, I'll use whatever the manufacturer provides to configure the device then I'll delete the software so there is zero ongoing resource impact.

I have not used any mouse, trackball, trackpad, or keyboard peripheral that requires a permanent third-party software installation for normal operation.

So you can say my favorite gaming mouse software is none.

Thank god for onboard memory!
 
Same as cvaldes. Typically none. Occasionally I install the software that matches the mouse. (Mionix)
 
Hi,
Software is only as good as the firmware on the devise
Best firmware for mouse and likely keyboard is redragon

Set it and forget it you don't need the software anymore unless you want to change a side button... function
Connect the mouse into any machine and all the buttons do what they were programed to do even in linux I'd say that's pretty impressive firmware :cool:
