I have purchased mice which cost 5 times as much and this is by far my favorite. If you have smaller hands, don’t like huge heavy mice or use a claw grip, this mouse is awesome. It is lightweight and the build quality, including that of the switches, has proven to be on par with other top gaming brand mice I have owned. The sensor is slightly towards the rear which makes it less twitchy and the mouse wheel has distinctive notches. I play exclusively FPS games and bought more than one of these because I love them so much. I did come across one unit which had a rattling mouse wheel, which is something none of the others exhibited so I had it replaced. Steelseries customer service is top notch. Their staff actually knows their stuff, even the ones on chat!

I was impatient at the time of the order, I was short on change so I couldn’t get the rival 310 instead. But this is a nice mouse and works amazingly and has customizable lighting as well! Would recommend

Apparently, this is a known issue, either with this brand or this 110 mouse. Only having this mouse for 11 months before breaking and realizing I wont buy another SteelSeries mouse ever again, I decided to just take the mouse apart to see what the issue is after seeing forum posts and youtube videos complaining of the same problem. Those complaints were correct. The micro switches on the PCB of the thumb button area of the mouse are not flush or secured to the PCB and just wobble around, eventually leading to it bending and not registering clicks anymore. Theres zero way they couldnt have known that was going to happen to people and are just going along with it and selling the mouse anyway. Intentional or not, who cares. It worked great when it worked, but once this happens, the mouse is done. Only 11 months later. And its advertised as a gaming mouse. Knowing this, Im not going to bother with an RMA, even if its replaced with properly secured micro switches. They could have easily just pulled the mouse from the market or did a recall or something, but. I guess not. Im not going to do business with a company that does that.

I wanted a durable, quality, long lasting mouse. 1 Year and its still working so Im not disappointed, it just cost a lot for a very basic, well-made mouse. no fancy feature, just good buttons, solid cord mouse. next time Ill except all of the same things but at a cheaper price. Feels a bit light weight but otherwise happy choice besides the price.

They feel good but after a year the right click broke ,it feels nice, it feels comfy but cannot really recommend this mouse if the materials Will not last.

I was looking for a simple and reliable corded mouse, and this one works. My only complaint is that its a little small, but I got used to it pretty quickly. It doesnt have a lot of other functionality, but it works for me as a casual gamer.

I was tired of buying cheap mouses at Wal-Mart that would only last for maybe six months, so I wanted to buy something a little more expensive that would last longer. Ive had this mouse for probably around two years now and it still works great! It was so worth paying a little more for it since it lasts so much longer. The only issue I ever had was it completely quit working, but I hadnt been doing the routine updates. Once I got caught up with all that, it worked perfectly again. I like how I can change the color or speed whenever I want. Im not much of a gamer, but it works perfectly for all the hours I spend on my computer each day. I highly recommend it!

The mouse is decent for being inexpensive, the sensor has no issues tracking, the LC and RC buttons feel a bit dull to me but build quality is ok to me. Since it doesnt have a braided cable, the cable can get distracting for a while. Lastly when I first used the mouse, gripping it would make my palm a bit sore so the shape isnt for me even though I have adjusted to it for a while, I just cant get a good grip. I would recommend this product to people who have tried using this before buying it so they know if its worth getting or not, this is a decent budget mouse with the best part in my opinion is the sensor.

Absolutely love this mouse. Works great the customizable dpi is easy to configure and so are the lights. It is very solidly built with nothing rattling around inside. Is extremely comfortable to hold. I highly recommend this mouse if you are looking for quality at a good price.
