Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super decent mouse for the price, thought it would've been a downgrade but honestly it was an improvement!

Feels good and smooth and responsive. I like the placement of the extra buttons along the thumb groove. The only thing I'm not 100% happy with is the way that 3 of the buttons for your thumb are groups with a long button on top and two smaller ones below it very close together.

Great mouse, not overly complicated to customize and not a crazy amount of buttons

Lightweight and usable. Software provided by SteelSeries allows for easy macro development and button setups.

Very good mouse haven’t had any issues and very responsive

Amazing product. SteelSeries is the best, I love all their products. I also have the Apex 7 keyboard and Arctis Nova 5 headphones, they're the best I've ever had.

Love it. Steel series is consistent with their products. The amount of customization that can be done to their stuff is crazy though most aren’t too familiar with adjusting their stuff too much it’s a nice feature to have. My only gripe and I’m not sure if it’s just with this mouse or other ones but the rubber will eventually fall off

Perfect for a cheaper mouse. After to download the steelseriesGG for the mouse you can basically do whatever you want with it.

I'm a Razer man, but I wanted something a little cheaper for my travel mouse and this didn't disappoint, it's been really good and I haven't had a single issue with it yet.

I love this mouse. I do sometimes wish it was wireless but i knew what i was getting into. Very easy to use and i love the way it clicks.

this mouse is amazing!!! since buying this mouse my rank has went up 4 teirs in league of legends, my girlfriend quit nagging and my stocks are all up 32%!!!

Picked this mouse up to match up with the rest of my steel series stuff I had. Had to get used to the buttons on the side of the mouse but it is easy to pick and it's great when all the RGB matches up but only if you have other steel series stuff and their engine. Overall, a pretty good mouse.

I bought this for my son, and he absolutely loves it. He uses it for gaming every day and it's worked exactly as it should.

I bought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift. He loves it and it was exactly what he wanted. He said the mouse is easy to move and forms to the hand nicely. It matches his SteelSeries keyboard.

It’s easy to hook up and get to gaming with friends. Enjoy the color changing the mouse does !!

It's hard to beat the price on this mouse. Works well and has all the basic features you need for games.

Steel series really went above and beyond on this one. Tried the Razer an logitech. No1 comes close

This mouse is worth the value, steel series has a app that lets you design the light patterns, such as flashing when clicking. Only complaint is the buttons on the side can be stiff, which is good and bad depending on the situation. Overall good build quality

I like this mouse as it feels nice for big hands and has a good quality built to it. The clicks sound nice and the extra buttons are useful.
