Tiivistelmä
This thesis investigated the impact of gaming mice on performance in two Finnish CS:GO organizations with active line-ups competing. The research focused on the different brands and models of gaming mice and their effect on the competitive scene. Statistical analysis, specifically two-way ANOVA was used to determine the relationship between gaming mice, player experience (maps played), and performance (Rating 2.0).
The theoretical background covers esports history, skills acquired at a young age, and the significance of peripherals, especially gaming mice. The history of esports is short, so the theoretical background was similar to other theses written in the topic area.
The statistical approach was employed to analyze data from sources such as Liquidpedia and HLTV.org, revealing that while gaming mouse choice does not significantly impact player performance, it significantly impacts player experience, as measured by the number of maps played.
The strength of the study is in challenging the belief that gaming mice have a substantial influence on performance, emphasizing the role of practice and experience. The results suggest that personal preferences and habits may influence outcomes, but long-term success in professional CS:GO and FPS gaming is determined by consistent practice.
