Each type of mouse costs something different, so we only compare within the same type.

More is not always better for everyone: it is what you pay for.
Sensitivity is what separates prices most within a type.

|---|---|---|
| Up to 8000 DPI | 43 | £31 |

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.
