Clicks and scrolls from the buttons are solid without feeling cheap, and you can tell that you've got a quality piece of hardware under your hand. We tested it in a variety of games as well as with some day-to-day computing tasks: it was responsive, reliable and comfortable to use throughout. The mouse works perfectly well out of the box too, if you don't want to get into any of the configuration settings.

Right now this newer application is only available on Windows, but Mac users can download an older SteelSeries utility. You can control settings like the acceleration and deceleration to an incredible degree, if you want to. Various aspects of the mouse performance and configuration can be customised through the SteelSeries GG software: there are a host of settings to play around with here, everything from the lighting colour on the scroll wheel to how long the mouse waits before going into battery saver mode. There's minimal lag from the USB-C dongle, and you really can't tell the difference between wired and wireless operation in terms of the responsiveness on screen. This is a mouse that's aimed at serious gamers, which means there are some serious specs to talk about: up to 18,000 CPI (counts per inch), which is way above what you'll get from your standard office mouse, and that's combined with 40G of acceleration for a more adaptive experience when you're gaming.
