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

Great gaming mouse for claw grip users. I purchased a second one to replace my original one that I purchased during COVID-19 (Late 2020) as it has started to show signs of wear. The original still works flawlessly and I use it as a secondary mouse for my other PCs.The build quality is fantastic and has a nice click to it. Some may not like the loud click, but the response and tactile feel of the click cannot be beat. I tried using the top end mice from Razer, Logitech, ZOWIE, and ASUS but they felt too light and albeit, cheap due to the weight. I prefer a heavier mouse and the weight of this is just right. Battery life is excellent an on par with mice that come out even today. Sadly, this mouse has not been updated to support 4k or 8k polling rates, but it still feels responsive but won't beat other mice in benchmarks. Real-world use you hardly notice the difference.I did upgrade the feet over time as it wore down, but the default feet are fantastic. I love the paracord cable that it comes with. Allows me to game and charge. Overall, 10/10 mouse for the price. Paid $100 back when it was newer, and ~$32 now is a steal.

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.

Best bang for your buck mouse in gaming. Works great, not too flashy, fits the hand and is highly customizeable. Have not had any lag issues, and settings like color/brightness of the scroll wheel can be adjusted. The screen on the bottom is plenty bright and legible. I also appreciate that the cable is able to be disconnected so you can swap a faulty cable.

The media could not be loaded. I love this mouse. (Disclaimer: I came from using a used Alienware mouse that I have owned since 2016.)This mouse has almost all the customization and configuration you would want from a gaming mouse. Plus all the promised features work as intended in my experience.When I plugged it in it was on the Audio Visualizer setting, which is cool (and customizable to a great degree). There is only one RGB LED on this mouse but it is the scroll wheel and it is surprisingly dynamic.(Example is in the video)This mouse is way too sensitive on the higher settings for me so I had to turn it down. I also had to turn off a setting that corrects the mouse movement to make it more straight. (I don't think that should be the default setting.)The SteelSeries GG software is easy to configure and change your settings and even save presets.The mouse has a very ergonomic feel that isn't shown in pictures. there is a huge thumb pocket that makes the mouse VERY comfortable. It has a nice texture / tactile feel compared to my smooth glossy Alienware mouse. This mouse advertises "crispy clicks" and it delivers. Very clicky mouse. Scroll wheel is satisfying and useful. This mouse is also lighter than even the most lightweight mice. At 61g it is so light it almost feels cheap. It fits my smaller hands perfectly. I got the wired version, the wireless version is probably an ideal weight. I would probably give this mouse an 8/10. If you have a gaming mouse already, you may be underwhelmed, but as a person yearning for a better mouse, this hits all the marks.
