SteelSeries Esports FPS Gaming Mouse – Ultra Lightweight 69g – Prime Edition – 5 Programmable Buttons – 18K CPI TrueMove Pro Sensor – Magnetic Optical Switches – Customization – RGB Lighting – PC/Mac

Good gaming mouse
I can only speak about the Prime+ wired version, this mouse has been great so far.It has a nice firm mouse click actuation with the two top mouse buttons. That is what I prefer as I don’t want to mis-click just from resting my fingers on the mouse buttons. Mine came with the braided cable and it’s not stiff at all.Coming from a G700s it’s significantly lighter which takes some getting used to.The #1 reason I purchased this mouse is because it has on-device settings that are easily changed and don’t require me to install software. I can quickly set DPI, Polling frequency, Lift off distance etc without installing anything extra on my computer. It also uses optical switches for the primary mouse buttons.I would have given Razor a shot, but I HATE their software and the fact that it auto-installs when you plug in one of their devices. This one does have a pop-up that asks if you want to install the software but you can just click No and go about your day.Pros:- Optical primary mouse button switches- Simple side mouse buttons- Good overall feel in my hands (I have slightly bigger hands)- Ability to control just about everything from the mouse itselfCons:- No infinite-scroll wheel (may not be a con if you haven’t had a logitech mouse with it)- The scroll wheel click can be triggered by pressing the scroll wheel to the right (not sure if feature or just slop. Hasn’t affected me in the least bit but could for someone else.)The-The mouse feet are just ok.Other thoughts:I turned off the lift-off detector. While it is good and works, unless you’re using a flat mouse pad (like the plastic low-friction ones) this feature is hit and miss. I use a fabric one with a little cushion on the underside and there is a miniscule detent in the mouse area that the mouse will detect as lift off when I go across it. Turning the lift-off option off hasn’t affected my gaming at all as I was already used to normal mouse lifting from the G700s. The mouse body quality seems avg. But when I messed with just about all of the mice at MicroCenter this was true of almost all of them. Short of going into the $139+ range where some of the mice would be textured with a rubberish coating. If you’re a really sweaty player this might have an impact on you. It hasn’t had any impact at all on me.This review was done a few days after getting and using the mouse. I will update if any issues come up after a few months of daily use.**** One month update ****Well it’s be a month of using this as my daily driver mouse for both work and gaming. About 12 hours a day of use 6 days a week. And my original review still holds the same. It’s a great mouse. All the action buttons still work find. I’ve gotten used to the side button locations. The middle mouse(scroll wheel) click is still firm, but that doesn’t bother me at all. I haven’t had any miss-clicks or double clicks. I still haven’t had any reason to install the software for this mouse. Being able to make adjustments from the menu on the bottom of the mouse is great.

Versatile option
Excellent mouse. In terms of raw performance the best one I’ve ever used, including the deathadder essential, logitech g403 and logi g502 original.Surprisingly good build quality for the weight which usually makes light things feel cheap. No rattling, no creaking unless you squeeze/press hard. Switches and wheels are all tight tolerances and centered correctly.The sensor is flawless, the weight is minimal, the design is ergonomic, and the cable is very pliable and light. Needless to say this will perform very well for any FPS game.Will it compete with “uber 8khz polling rate 20g ultra light 100g acceleration million DPI wireless top tier mice?” Probably not.Is it good enough to not matter? For 99.9% of people, yes. If you have a good bungee cord to alleviate any cable interference(which is already incredibly minimal) and the shape fits well for your hand? None of this will matter and your human limitations will come up far before any limitations of this hardware. For the minimal price I paid, I literally cannot expect anything else.This thing is also great for office use love the switches and feel. My only gripe is I wish the side buttons were bigger. Also as a very minor point, the connection point to the mouse is usb-mini and not usb-c. It’s a slightly older design and it is not any real kind of limitation other than perhaps limiting aftermarket cables(which this thing does not need, stock cable is excellent).If you need a cheap but great performing mouse and don’t care about wireless? it is very very hard to go wrong with this. Kudos Steelseries.

Dependable Mouse
Worked as advertised. No surprises and was able to use it right away.

I’ve gone through a bunch of high-dollar mice in the last few years, and all of them have had the same problem — they start double-clicking when I single-click. I recently bought a “boutique” gaming mouse with gold-plated switches and space-age something or the other, and it also developed the same problem within 2-3 months. Needless to say, it doesn’t matter if your mouse is made out of Kevlar and platinum-iridium alloy, if it double-clicks when you want to single-click, that’s a deal-breaker.The problem seemed inherent to the tiny switches used in mice, so when I read about the magnetic-optical switches that SteelSeries had developed, I was intrigued. Their completely new switch design sounded promising and so I ordered one.When I received it, the first thing that struck me about this mouse was the exceptional build quality — which is not surprising, SteelSeries are known for this, but still, it’s so good that it needs a mention. The plastic is rigid and unbending, even when squeezed quite hard. (I can close the Captains of Crush #3 gripper, so adjust your impressions accordingly.) This is a very pleasant change from all the other supposedly high-end mice I have, the plastic on which flexes and creaks — audibly — with the slightest pressure.The plastic surface has a texture that is just right — it’s rough enough to be non-slip and fine enough to be pleasant to touch, unlike the industrial-strength gritty/knobby textures on some mice. As far as build quality is concerned, on a scale of one to ten, I’d say this one goes to eleven.One big positive is that I don’t need to install any software to use the mouse — the sensitivity can be set with a button on the underside. This is a hard requirement for me: I refuse to install software, especially a multi-megabyte piece of badly-programmed bloatware, just to use a mouse.The mouse’s tracking and accuracy are perfectly satisfactory, but that has been the case for all mice for quite some time now, so I won’t dwell on that.Another striking feature is that the buttons do sound and feel unlike any other mouse I’ve ever used. The click feels a great deal more solid and the sound is also much deeper and more pleasing than any other mouse I’ve used. This is not surprising, as the spiral spring used in the OM switches is orders of magnitude thicker and sturdier than the insubstantial leaf spring in all other mouse switches. Given the construction of the OM switches, I’m fairly confident that they will not develop the double-clicking problem in time. (If this changes I’ll update my review.)Yet another win is that the thumb switches are placed where I cannot accidentally click them. On other mice, this accidental clicking happens quite often, and I find myself going back or forward in whatever application I’m using, when I had no intention of doing so. Which is annoying, to say the least. I’d rather not have any extra switches at all, but at least with this mouse I can forget about them.So far, so perfect. Which brings me to the one thing that makes this mouse less than perfect for me. This is the fact that the mouse’s sensitivity indicator light is on top, built into the mouse wheel. I work in a dark environment and really dislike distracting pinpricks of light in my field of vision. If this indicator light had been anywhere else on the body of the mouse, I could have painted or taped over it. But it’s in the one place where I can’t do so. Ideally, the indicator light would be on the underside. So, perfection minus one point.One more thing that I would’ve liked to have (and I realise I’m in a very small minority here) is the ability to adjust the mouse’s weight. I type and mouse with a heavy hand, and I would prefer a mouse that weighs something like 400-500 grams. I am not pulling this number out of thin air — I’ve tried using the mouse with a 300-gram weight jerry-rigged on top, and I do prefer the handling. A top-loading compartment that I could pour the requisite amount of ball-bearings into, would be very welcome.

Amé este mouse, es muy cómodo, buen tamaño el peso es agradable, la luz muy bonita y una duración de batería muy decente aunque no lo he probado con la luz siempre apagada así que creo que podría ser incluso mejor, ya tengo 4 mice en total y este es el que más me gusta
