Light-weight smooth easy to hold gaming mouse. This thing, at least for me, is the perfect weight glides smooth and the wireless is connection is very solid saving the need to get cables tangled.I did APPRECIATE that not only did they give a long cable for for charging/use when battery low, but a dongle to attach the wireless dongle to the long cable allowing the wireless dongle to be closer to the mouse and prevent weird skipping due to wireless signal getting blocked. That is great, especially on desktops, having the wireless dongle behind the tower can cause issues, so providing a cable to attach to the wireless dongle is great and a nice touch. The mouse itself in gaming, worked awesome. It didn't improve my ability in Halo, but to be fair I'm horrible, but it didn't hurt it either and I couldn't blame the mouse. The feel of the mouse is great allowing for long play sessions. Overall SteelSeries create a great mouse that works great and I'm loving it. Very happy to play games with this.

This is a very good mouse, however battery life is somewhat lacking. As a test in a 8 hour workday, with plenty of mouse use, I used up half the battery. I would say using this as a wired mouse would be the preferred method. However, I had an issue with the GG software. When I plugged the mouse in and disconnected the dongle to use the supplied cable. The mouse would stop responding within a minute. The issue with GG may have been a firmware issue, after reinstalling the GG software multiple times, I received a notification that a firmware update was needed. This was my second firmware update in the first week of owning the mouse. Ironically, on my work laptop, not running the GG software I had no issues in wired nor wireless configurations. It seemed to be caused by GG somewhere along the line. After the firmware update, the issue with wired connectivity was fixed(?) for the most part. But the battery life really dropped after the firmware update. So I am now needing to run as a wired mouse pretty consistently. The BT connection was automatically identified by Windows 11, so this worked quite well. The connection seemed to be quite stable. Performance was quite responsive and accurate when gaming with little to no identifiable lag when using wireless. BT was a touch slower, but that should be expected. Wired was lag free. The weight is nice. Not too light but heavy enough running cabled doesn't move the mouse unintentionally. The receiver is USB type C, important to know if you are lacking in ports or you use a KVM setup between machines. I would definitely recommend, just know you will need some firmware updates if using the GG software.

Well no surprises here, its very light. Lets just get that out of the way, and once you start using it you find that its also precise. I love the button for DPI change and where its placed, extremely easy to reach and click when you need to, and there is a good range of DPI change available. My main worry with the mouse build is the fact that almost half of the top is a net build, and thus any liquid spill could ruin it. I know its IP54 certified, but any sort of soda spill is go right into the chipset... I personally found the RGB a bit too gaudy, but thankfully you can download the accompanying software that allows you to change it to your liking, and there a lot of options. You can change the constant RGB and also on event (as in on click if you'd like the light to behave differently). The software has a lot more customizations for all the bittons as well. From a connection perspective, this is a complete package - you have a USB-C port that charges and also allows it to direct connect to your PC. The port is on the front end of the mouse, where a wired mouse's wire would be, so easy to use while plugged in. You have option to connect via Bluetooth, there is a toggle at the bottom, and as soon as you move it to BT mode, the mouse enters pairing mode. And ofcourse there is a 2.4G dongle mode. The dongle is also USBC, but a bit too long for my liking, it juts out a bit too much from my laptop, where it feels a bit scary that any wrong move and it might break off. But I'll be honest, even though I have listed a few complaints and worries, when I am actually using the mouse and not thinking about it, it feels one of the best mice I have used - as I said its light, but still sturdy so feels solid, and is precise and the clicks are satisfactory. I have never felt its not doing exactly what I want it to do.

I think this is one of the best simple mice that I have used so far. Simple, meaning only a few buttons on it. That said, I do still prefer my mice to have a couple extra buttons. One thing I did notice with this mouse and why I am giving it 4 stars. If you use it in Bluetooth mode, you are very limited to what settings you can change in the app. The only setting you can change seems too just be the DPI setting. All other settings are greyed out, and those settings just revert to the default setting. It is too bad that they could not allow to change those in Bluetooth mode. My only other small gripe is that you have to use 2 USB ports then. One to charge and one for the dongle. I would have like to see the dongle have a way to plug in the USB cord at the end or built into the cord and then come with an adaptor that would allow you to choose either a USB-A or USB-C connection into your computer. This is not a huge deal breaker for me though. But enough of that. If you like simple and like just having a couple buttons, this mouse is for you. It is comfortable, light, wireless or wired if you prefer. My palm did not seem to get as hot. It is open so allows some airflow thru it keeping cool. I like that they did not make a special spot for the USB-C to plug into it. This makes it easy to just grab a USB-C cable and plug into it to charge. The dongle is also fairly thin and straight out, so it does not block other USB ports. Color theme if you light, you can change 3 spots. So basic but for those who like some RGB, it looks nice. Most mice that I have, you have a couple spots that you can change, and that is usually a logo and a few spots around the edge. This lights up the whole palm of the mouse. Overall, for me this is a great mouse for my laptop. Light, can use Bluetooth and not use up a USB port. Wireless. Aiming with this mouse felt smooth. The SteelSeries app has an aim trainer that is pretty good to use. I would have used this as my main PC mouse if it has more buttons.

Now I have been buying the other brand for a while. The one that starts with a R that actually makes chewing gum as well, fun fact!. But this little mouse here has my attention. I have seriously had it with these mice that have more buttons than the PlayStation controller. I feel like this one keeps it simple. I use this not only for gaming but for my personal work as well. The tracking speed on it is amazing. Obviously I love the colors. I had a little trouble with the whole wireless wired Bluetooth setup but eventually I got it. I went with wired but eventually I'll double back and we'll see about this whole Bluetooth thing. It would help if I read the instruction manual, but I'm a man and I don't read manuals. I figure things out. So in this case I'll probably have to double back and break my own rule and start reading. It doesn't feel cheaply made. It feels well constructed and for the price that's everything. Held up to a few games. I decided I would play on my PC for the first time in years and it definitely held up. I highly recommend this as a nice work and and moderate play mouse. But you heavy gamers with your drop shots and 10 buttons under one finger and probably won't appreciate this.
