[@riviol87]

Mg-alloy is tough and is also used in making the frame of most high-end professional cameras (Nikoon, Canon, Sony) that are supposed to take the rough and tumble of the wild. I remember having a 2012 Dell Vostro business laptop that had a Mg-alloy frame, and once it slid off a shelf about 5-feet high on to a hard cement floor. Only damage was a bent DVD drive that popped out and a slight crack on the plastic surrounding the charging port. Used it for 3-4 years and it worked like nothing happened. I still wonder how it survived being so much heavier by today's standards. Surely, built like a tank.

[@waxwastaken]

The mouse market subreddit is tearing this thing apart. Don't get me wrong 280 is a ton of money if you're looking at just the mouse but like it also comes with a pretty neat case and some nice extras. Seems like a good chunk of the price went into the packaging as well

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

So 80 for the mouse and 200 for the packaging.

[@waxwastaken]

@@HappyBeezerStudios shit maybe but even then 200 is still a lot for any mouse

[@Real-Pot]

@@waxwastaken I feel the Finalmouse Starlight is way better. The only thing I see worth is the fact that you can use Razer Synapse. It's was cheaper on launch, and certain models are still cheaper than this new Razer product.

@@Real-Pot I own a starlight phantom and it's not a bad mouse my only complaint is the construction since it's multiple panels screwed on instead of one piece like how the mini se looks

[@Greydawg]

My legitimate concern with the cutouts is *the exposed circuit boards.* I've had to repair too many circuits in *enclosed* systems from dirt & debris alone not to be sincerely concerned with exposed circuits in a space designed to be constantly touched by nature (not to mention the $280 price tag). A frosted or clear plastic barrier as an option would be nice, but would also inescapably lengthen the lifespan of any device with exposed boards. Also, the intro was an absolute ball-crusher. I cackled more than once. Just brilliant, mate. 💯

So Finalmouse just announced their new mouse called Ultralight X which is said to be 29g to 30g. Finalmouse have some major QC issues, Im happy that mine hasnt experienced any so far. But since I had to get mine imported to the UK it cost me around £200 anyways. Razer are making the same weight mouse as the Starlight for abit higher of the price but hopefully better DPI deviation and better quality overall.

Yeah, Razer quality control is absolute garbage. They used to be great when they were smaller and there was no competition - but now they're overpriced and unreliable. The more premium products are pretty much filled with problems and only their cheap stuff is more or less ok.
