× EG Mouse scoring framework How we score gaming mice All mouse scores use a 0–10 scale benchmarked against today’s leading mice as of the “Last updated” date on each product. Accuracy and response start from sensor and switch hardware plus real latency and polling tests, while genre scores and recommendations reflect design intent and how players actually use each mouse in practice. The overall score also folds in current price versus comparable mice, so older models can and usually will move down as newer, better-value options arrive. 0–10 scale, calibrated vs. current leaders Real input-latency, sensor & switch testing Genre tags based on design intent & usage Core 0–10 scores Overall Snapshot of performance plus value at today’s typical price, balancing accuracy, response, feet, comfort, build quality and genre suitability versus similar mice. Accuracy Tracking precision relative to modern gaming sensors, based on our sensor reference table, implementation quality, launch year and how stable the cursor feels in real play. Response Click and motion snappiness from switch hardware, measured click latency, polling stability and the age of the underlying design. Quality Build and long-term reliability: shell flex and creaks, switch consistency, scroll feel, wireless stability and QC trends across many owner and reviewer reports. Comfort Long-session ergonomics for common grip styles and hand sizes, based on shape, weight balance, coatings and user/reviewer feedback. Work Day-to-day usability for work, including comfort, button layout, scroll behaviour and how flexible the software and macro options are. Feet Glide quality of the stock feet: material, smoothness, edge finish, control versus speed and how they wear in over time. Genre scores & tags FPS score How well the mouse lines up with modern FPS play in terms of accuracy/response hardware, weight, shape control, feet and real-world FPS usage. MMO score MMO/RPG suitability from button and macro density, comfort, reliability, software depth and genre-specific usage. MOBA score MOBA suitability based on hardware ceilings, click speed, micro control, weight, shape and genuinely useful extra buttons. ARPG score ARPG (Diablo/PoE) suitability for long grinds, with usable skill/item macros and consistent hardware behaviour over time. RTS score RTS suitability for box-selects and camera control, factoring in control-friendly weight, stability, latency and glide. Genre YES / NO flags FPS YES if the mouse is a reasonable FPS choice given its design, hardware and how players actually use it today; otherwise NO. MMO YES if it is practically usable for MMO/RPG hotkeys and long sessions based on design and user reports; otherwise NO. MOBA YES if it works well for typical MOBA play and micro control given its design and history; otherwise NO. ARPG YES if it’s a solid pick for long ARPG sessions and skill/item usage based on design and feedback; otherwise NO. RTS YES if weight, control, comfort and latency make it a viable RTS ladder option in practice; otherwise NO.
