These reviews are meant to capture real ownership feedback, not marketing copy. Users can leave one review per mouse, edit it later, and reviews are filtered for profanity, links, and obvious spam before they appear.

There are no reviews yet, so the first useful hands-on writeup here will set the tone.

Reviews are tied to accounts so each person gets one editable review per mouse. That keeps spam down and makes abuse handling much easier.
