Editorial Policy

Purpose and Standards

Mouse Guide exists to help you choose the right mouse the first time. Our coverage is independent, evidence-based, and written for clarity. Every statement should be traceable to lab data, firsthand testing, or clearly labeled editorial judgment.

Independence

We do not sell review placements or accept compensation in exchange for positive coverage. Loaned samples may be returned or retained for long-term testing at our discretion; either way, they receive the same protocol. When we receive a product for free, we disclose it.

Product Selection

We prioritize models by user demand, fit diversity (sizes, shapes, left-handed/vertical), market impact, and availability. We aim for category-wide coverage: gaming, productivity, travel, and ergonomics.

Review Process

  • Standardized testing across firmware versions and surfaces
  • Repeat measurements and cross-editor verification
  • Fit-scoring and shape indexing tied to hand sizes and grips
  • Workflow mapping with ready-to-use profiles where software allows

Updates and Corrections

If we discover an error, we correct it promptly and note the change in an update log. Firmware or hardware revisions trigger retesting of affected metrics.

Affiliate Links and How We Make Money

We use affiliate links to retailers. If you click a link and purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions do not influence our selection, testing, or rankings. We include non-affiliate purchase options when practical and always recommend the best fit for your needs.

Conflicts of Interest

Editors must disclose any potential conflicts (e.g., former employment, consulting) and recuse themselves from related coverage.

User Data and Privacy

We collect only what we need to operate the site and improve content. See our Privacy Policy for details on data collection, cookies, analytics, and your rights.

Community Standards

We moderate comments and emails for civility and relevance. We remove spam and harassment and may block repeat offenders to protect a useful, welcoming space.
