  "account": "My analysis involved calculating a unique score called the \"James score,\" which averaged two separate rankings: one based on price-to-weight ratio and another based on review scores. The mouse with the highest James score was the Glorious Model O Eternal, followed closely by the 8BitDo Retro R8, which is the mouse I keep on my desk right now. The Mchose mice also secured joint third place. This study, while humorous, also suggests that solidly built budget mice tend to perform better despite the unconventional weight-to-gram ratio used in the evaluation.",
