Review: Fantastic mouse with 1 minor issue - Switching from my old rival 5 to this was easy, and I've been wanting a wireless mouse for YEARS since my mouse cable always used to get caught and mess up my aim. This one has fixed my issues perfectly! It's nice, light, and feels good in the hand though the piano black gloss finish on the side buttons feels a little bit less premium than the finish on the rival. I have rather small hands for a man in his 20s (~20cm outstretched from pinky to thumb tip), but my hybrid palm / claw grip works comfortably with this size, although the silver thumb button towards the mouse is a bit tricky to reach, but I can hit it if i readjust my grip on the mouse, but that's not very likely mid-firefight in game. SteelSeries GG software works great, though I installed a 3rd party app to monitor the battery levels in the system tray. I usually get about 2 days of use (about 8-10 hours per day) with the RGB on, and around 3-4 with RGB turned off (always with max poll rate, 400 cpi, 10 minute sleep timer). the one semi-important con I've found with this mouse is that, occasionally, after waking from sleep, the mouse will move around the screen just fine, but the button presses wont register. This is easily fixed by turning the mouse on and off again with the switch underneath, but just something to be aware of if you ever encounter this issue. I haven't bothered to RMA the mouse because of this, since I've been through the SteelSeries process a few times, and I don't like how it leaves me without a device for a few days) All in all, pleased with the fit, finish, and functionality. If you're coming from a rival 5 or other similarly sized mouse, the transition should be pretty much seamless! Just don't bother with the RGB, you'll get much better battery life and only lose out on functionality you cant see when the mouse is in use.
Review: Awesome light mouse with irritating bloatware & RGB - Good: Very light mouse with solid PTFE pads on the bottom - feels very precise. As a guy with medium sized sweaty hands, this fits perfectly and the extra ventillation is a big plus for me. I game several hours a day typically and the battery is lasting 1 -2 weeks. Charge time is an hour or so and you can use the mouse while plugged in, so this is no issue for me. Bad: the RGB can only be turned off by installing the bloatware. Only off while connected to PC, otherwise it defaults to on, after the warranty is up I am going to desolder the LEDS.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s genuinely good.
*by L***S on 11 December 2025*

I don’t know why these reviews are so critical, this is genuinely an excellent mouse. It’s ergonomic, responsive, tracks super well, stylish, built nicely, packaged well, decent software, and never had issues with the wirelessness (Though I’ve only had it for few days, my first impressions are still met.) I improved instantly in games because of its general abilities and the buttons are a nice touch and don’t interfere with anything at all. The value for money could be a bit better too, but you definitely get what you pay for. An excellent mouse. Only dealbreaker I have is the battery, which I can always charge the mouse easily from my desk when I’m not using it, but it drains a little too fast for comfort. Overall, brilliant. I think 4.5 stars is a much better rating but can’t do that.
