About Maya Okonkwo
Maya works as a freelance hardware reviewer and has tested over 80 gaming mice across three years of writing. She approaches peripherals from a practical angle: what does this mouse actually do for your gameplay, and is it worth the price compared to a $40 alternative?
Her background in mechanical engineering gives her an edge when explaining sensor technology, switch debounce, and polling rate in terms that do not require a degree to follow. Maya's guides on mouse DPI, double-click issues, and sensor drift are rooted in hands-on testing rather than spec sheet comparisons.
Maya's rule is simple. If she cannot tell the difference in actual gameplay, she will say so, no matter what the spec sheet claims.
