The Swiftpoint Z aims to be the last word in gaming mice. Born of a highly successful Kickstarter at the end of 2016, this premium-grade desk rodent has a spec list that ticks every single box on the sheet, and many more besides. We’re not just talking about a button for every MMO hotkey, but also a gyroscope and accelerometer so that it can take the place of a flight stick.

With the sheer number of dedicated buttons and up to 80 mappable combinations, the team at Swiftpoint are calling the Z ‘the best MMO Mouse for World of Warcraft’. That’s a bold claim, so we decided it was time to take a closer look at this recent entrant in the peripherals market. Would it meet the needs of the average MMO gamer, and could it be flexible enough to be used as a daily driver?
