HamsterWheel

HamsterWheel is a mouse sensor test and benchmark tool. Use it to test the performance of your mouse sensor or buttons and the speed of your movements.

I created HamsterWheel just for fun so I can benchmark my own mice but feel free to use it for anything and fork it if you would like.
