Graphical Vs Comparison

Wow! The Monkeys 🐒 learnt to make Graphs!

Physical Characteristics (mm, grams)
Sensor Characteristics (0 ➡ 100%) (worse ➡ better)
Latency Characteristics (0 ➡ 100%) (worse ➡ better)
Other Features (0 ➡ 100%) (worse ➡ better)

Graphs Description

The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).
