From our front-page news:
Choosing a new gaming mouse can be a difficult process, especially given the selection available. In order to help gauge how sixteen of the top mice fare with gamers, a Malta gaming community, playREACTION, brought the entire slew to a LAN gathering and had members of various clans take the mice for a spin. Report cards were passed out as well, so that overall grades could be averaged.

From such a test, you'd imagine that some mice would score upwards of 90%, especially the more common enthusiast models. But as their results show, no mouse broke through the 70% mark. What this proves, really, is that we are all different and one mouse that might be a Godsend to one person may be an uncomfortable choice to someone else. The same would apply to numerous products though, including mousepads.

This year we have witnessed considerable changes in the gaming hardware market. With regards to gaming mice, we have seen the involvement of some new companies that have made the plunge into a saturated but still very deep market area. On the other hand, established companies have made multiple releases of new products over the length of the year and some have even remade old line-ups and enhanced them with more modern technology.
