Final Bluetooth Mouse Finalmouse Starlight-12 Phantom (Small)

Product Information

Build quality was very good when I first got my hands on it. Overall no creaking, no flex, slight mouse button wobble, slight side button wobble, and side button rattle (if I shook it like I wanted it dead). Crooked scroll wheel on my copy as well. It never bothered me but it was definitely one of those "seriously?" things at this price point. A lot of these were basically "meh" things, but in collection together it does reduce how much I liked it. To no one's surprise, this mouse was a let down. My overall impression of the mouse has been getting lower and lower, and although this mouse is perhaps my best performing mouse at the moment, it says a lot when I'm looking more forward to finding a better mouse, than continuing to use this one (Viper Mini Ultimate anyone?). Yes, I've put a lot of hours into this mouse, but for being a "mouse that will last generations," the generation that this mouse is lasting seems to be awfully short.

First one is kinda more subjective so I will start with it.. I'd prefer mice to have smooth sides and not with holes. I'd gladly trade a couple grams of weight for smooth sides than having to grip a mouse with holes on the side. Just not very comfortable. Some people don't mind it, and this is mostly subjective, but it is a con for me.In the end though, mouse accuracy is down to muscle memory with your mouse and sensitivity, whether you have a weightless mouse or a bowling ball, if you’re used to it and good with it, all the power to you. What about heavy mice? Even after using a GPX, this mouse felt fantastic in-hand. The weight is incredibly light and gives you amazing control over your mouse. In addition to its size, with fingertip, the weight is almost ideal at ~49g so it's not too light you forget it's there but light enough that adjustments all come naturally. Opinions about the weight have not changed since, but I will say you'll only feel a massive weight change when comparing to mice about 65g or above.

They are light, crispy have a good size and feel, and are positioned in the best possible spot on the side of the mouse. You can differentiate between them easily as well. Gotta be up there with some of the best side mouse buttons of all time for sure. Little bit of post travel but that is a super minor complaint for how well these feel and I've used a lot of mice to compare. It is very lightweight wireless. This isn't a pro for everyone since some people enjoy heavier or middle weight mice more and that is fine. If you are looking for ultra light mice though, especially in wireless, this weight is impossible to beat for now. Somewhere around 45g weight for the medium.I ended up doing a couple of mods on the mouse to see how it would change. You can open up the mouse via the bottom two feet and removing two T5 screws, so the mods I did include:

Been using the Starlight-12 (M) Phantom as my main mouse for the last 3 months for incredibly extensive use including gaming and school, likely around 30+ hours of use per week. I'm also new to reviewing things and am only slightly into gaming mice hobby, so sorry if this ends up being an iffy review. The Starlight's were my first Finalmouse products, and spoilers, almost definitely my last. This mouse creaks a lot. It isn't quite as bad as the creaking on like the aerox 3 wireless... but this mouse still definitely creaks. There is a visible gap between the metal sides and the plastic bottom plate. When squeezing the sides of the mouse even just a bit, you can push the sides in until they touch the bottom plastic plate. You can feel it creak in your hand a bit and you can feel the walls push in. Again, this is the medium sized starlight-12, I can't say for certain if the small is the same. I imagine with a smaller more compact design, that could lead to it being a little more sturdy. The medium does seem to have this issue though. I'll be giving two scores for the Finalmouse. One when I received and started playing with it, and then one after heavy-use (right now) like so: Another minor complaint is that it is micro usb and not usb-c. Not a big deal for most, but again worth noting.I have no idea how the internals of a mouse work or how the sensor works... but if I had to guess, I feel like the sensor isn't getting enough power to it sometimes? Maybe the battery they use is just cheap or something and the sensor isn't receiving the power it needs properly. I don't know, but I don't have this issue on any other wireless mouse I own. This is pure speculation however as I said, I don't really know how it works. I should also note that I keep my mouse turned on all the time and I charge my mouse every single day when I go to bed at night so it shouldn't be a low battery issue. I'm not going to give the shape a rating because people will know their own preference. I fingertip and compared to the Delux M800, it has a much more flat shape similar to the Razer Viper Ultimate. I definitely like this mouse more than the RVU, both for weight, feeling, and shape for me. In comparison to the other mice I've tried, I'd say it's my second favorite fingertip shape to date only beaten by the G305. Nothing special to write home about, though. I will say though, shoutouts to the people on the Finalmouse discord. Most of the people there are... interesting to say the least, but lots of the people in the repair chat genuinely are trying to help and have great advice. If anything, there's always at least some nice people working with them.

Moving onto today and it's still mostly the same but the button wobble got a bit worse. I ended up having to do some mods to maintain it in a better state, but that led to its own issues (see Mods section for more details). Aluminum tape mod (removing most pre-travel on all buttons, was done when mylar pads inside mouse fell off) [7/10] Take your PC gaming to the next level with the Finalmouse Starlight-12 Pegasus Wireless mouse (medium).

I take care of my peripherals well and I do not slam my mouse down or throw it around or anything.. so some of these cons are really just due to bad build quality and not from personal usage.
