SteelSeriesEsports FPS Gaming Mouse – Ultra Lightweight 69g – 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.

Honestly, just bought this on a whim to try it out and see what it was like, and it is now my main mouse. I have used a g502, razer deathadder v3 and naga, and the TUF M4, and now the prime. I use a palm grip full time with large hands.Honestly, the shape is the standout. This thing is so comfortable its not even funny, along with a really great flexible cable you wont even need to use a bungie. The switches are also probably my favorite that i've used in any mouse, down to the sound they make. Build quality also gets a 10, feels nice in the hand while staying light as advertised.For cons, basically all I can think is that the DPI button on the bottom really sucks, annoys me frequently, but I just set it to what I like and forget it aside from specific games so not a deal breaker for me. Also, scroll wheel is really meh. Not great, not awful, just kinda there.Overall, 9/10 mouse. Great across the board for every game type ive tried, great for scrolling the internet. Try it out, id recommend.
