What we can tell you

A light, cheap wired gaming mouse with an ambidextrous shell, adjustable sensitivity and lighting. The button count comes from the retailer’s product description rather than from its specification table, and the manufacturer does not print one at all: worth knowing if six is the number you are counting on.

What the specifications favour

  • Light, with an ambidextrous shell
  • A wide published sensitivity range at a low price
  • Remappable through vendor software

What to check before you buy

  • The button count comes from a description rather than a specification table
  • Wired only

What we are not sure about (1)

Check the following details before ordering, especially where variants differ or information is incomplete.

  • How many buttons this has

    The six-button figure comes from Best Buy's written description rather than its specification table, which did not list a count. SteelSeries' own page does not print one either.
