Then, the sensitivity
More is not always better for everyone: it is what you pay for.
Sensitivity is what separates prices most within a type.
| Sensitivity | Models today | Median price |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 8000 DPI | 3 | $29 |
| 8000 to 20000 DPI | 3 | $40 |
| Over 20000 DPI | 6 | $107 |

Where the numbers come from
The guide only states what the day's catalog shows: each number comes from the reading on 06/11/2026, and the median is for mice with the data.
The guide helps you decide and doesn’t recommend a mouse for you: the final price is the one at the store, and the spec score doesn’t measure how it feels in the hand or durability.
