We have a rodent problem at GamesRadar+. Every year dozes of the things scuttle across our desks, bidding to become the best gaming mouse on the market. The competition has seriously heated up in the last couple of years. Features previous reserved for the most premium, esports-only pointers has now made its way to the mid-range and into the hands of more casual everyday gamers. That means these pointers are getting faster, lighter, and smarter all the time. 

We're constantly testing the latest and greatest releases, living with all this new tech as if it were our own. They become part of our main setups for work and play during a minimum of two weeks during the main review phase, but still stick around after that. Swapping different models in and out allows us to keep our recommendations fresh, while also comparing new releases against older (and often cheaper) tech for a full value overview.
