Do we really need so many gaming mouse news / reviews? Is there even a noticeable difference between them most of the time? Different LED tone?
Especially when there's so much stuff absent.

Generic ADNS-5000-series mouse on the front page? Seriously?
That PoS has an effective sens of ~1350cpi, will most likely die within 4-5 months and also will suffer from RGB LEDs interfering with shitty optical sensor(if they cheaped-out on proper shroud, like many others). At that price I can buy 4 or maybe even 5 generic mice with the same sensor and same RGB. There are tons of re-branded mice with the exact same spec (probably made on the same Chinese factory), and the cheapest ones are going for $5 $4 retail.
Ultimately, it's a shitty disposable office mouse with bling.

Ultimately, it's a shitty disposable office mouse with bling.

I haven't heard of an office mouse model dying after 4-5 months (not on average obviously). You may be underestimating this segment.

Also, I wonder if we'll ever see more news (and reviews) about popular productivity mice. Logitech MX Master series maybe?

Even for a casual gamer who doesn't like RGB, the list of mice tested by TPU is just a sea of disappointment...

I think my experience with dead mice is much higher than yours with sub-$10 segment. I used to get boxes of RMA keyboards and mice from one large local supplier, and this thing looks painfully familiar, both in looks and specs. Approximately half were fixable within 5-10 minutes, but the remaining ones are always a sensor failure.

Also, I could be wrong about A5050, and it may use the other type of generic/knock-off sensor: an all-in-one package w/ USB MCU and optical sensor, which is even worse (those are guaranteed to kick the bucket no later than warranty expires). That's why all of their other products have sensor model in their listings, but this one does not.

But you understand this is heavily biased, right?
You're getting boxes of RMA stuff, but what do you expect? That's your job.

There are hundreds of millions of these cheap peripherals used around the globe. Of course some of them break down.

I'm a typical white collar working in an office - with 20-30 people sitting close enough that I'd hear a "f..n mouse went bad again!".
I may have seen 2-3 such situations over the last 8 years.
I've used basic stuff from Dell, HP and Logitech. None of my keyboards and mice died (but 2 cheap docking stations did).

It's a very small sample, but observation is unbiased.

250grams ugh. Coolermaster quietly launched a glorious model o copy that weighs 53grams. The mm710 and mm711 are just your regular mouse with minimal extra buttons but designed for gamers just the same. Check them out at their site.

MM710

The MM710 is a truly innovative mouse that does more with so much less. Along with all the pro-grade features that make our gaming mice deadly in combat, we've also implemented a striking new shell design and a deceptively durable Ultraweave cable to trim the overall weight of the mouse to less...

Heavily biased?
Even cheap generic HP/Lenovo/Dell peripherals are built to spec, with expectations to last past warranty period(even the gimmicky stuff). While these "gaming" devices are built with expectations that even 1-2 RMAs won't hurt the bottom line. At whooping €20 there is no room to wiggle-in a "little" bias. There are many decent options in this price range(or cheaper), not plagued by misleading marketing. Hell, I'd rather spend $25 on a PMW3325-based HP Pavilion 300 mouse, or an ADNS3050-based Asus Cerberus Fortus, or any similar alternative from A4Tech, and probably have some change left for a crappy mousepad.

Lol this is a gimped version of the Razer Lancehead TE. It's just missing the side buttons on the right to make it ambidextrous.
