Finalmouse, Starlight, Starlight 12, TenZ, Starlight Pro TenZ, Review

[@noshut]

Hi. I also own a finalmouse starlight tenz in small. Personally for me it is worth the price. I like it better than the g pro superlight, my razor viper ultimate, pulsar xlite mini, etc. If you’re like me and using the mouse for 8+ hours a day for gaming, creativity, and office work, you want the lightest most comfortable mouse. for me this is the best shape + weight combination on the market. However, if you’re just the average person that games for a few hours a week, maybe it isn’t worth it to get a 200 dollar mouse.

Well said!

[@bukanagisna]

Thanks for the comment. I think I'm just gonna buy this Finalmouse Starlight Tenz.

[@dshifty_]

Thanks. What mouse do you say has the most similar shape to it but is cheaper?

[@haurjie]

Good thumbnail and intro. Your quality is getting better at least based on this last video ;)

[@Lv7Kevin]

Thanks! Trying to get as good as you someday!

As for QC, when I used the Ninja Finalmouse as my daily work/gaming mouse the only qc issue I ran into was the scroll wheel plastic bit broke after about a year or 2 of owning it. Luckily this wasn't the whole scroll wheel sensor or whatever though, this was the inner clear plastic bit that the rubber band of the scroll wheel wraps around. One of the knobs broke off of it so it wasn't activating the scroll wheel when you scrolled/clicked and it would just spin infinitely without any input to my pc and without the "bump" you feel when you normally spin it. I was very easily able to order a replacement part online though from some random Chinese wholesale website (lol) for like a dollar or two and replaced the part and it's been perfect for the last couple of years.

[@valdez2274]

Buen video , lo voy a comprar

[@XIXIGOD.444]

The B roll is so BEST

[@TheCarbonSamurai]

I got offered a slightly used one for 125 , idk if I should get this or wlmouse beast

[@mushbeck]

love the shape and weight but have encoder bounce and some miss inputs on mouse 1. should be a flawless experience at this price point.

[@Orlyy]

My tenz wireless dongle died in about 7 months. I've never once in my life had a wireless dongle die that fast. In fact, I don't think I EVER have. I mean my g903 dongle has been doing for like 4+ years lol... We'll see how quickly I get it resolved; making me send the mouse to get a new dongle paired. My biggest criticism is purely about their not user friendly in terms of repairing or just getting a new part easily; the fact I need to send it in for that reason is ridiculous. *Edit* Also, the mouse started to double click about a month ago; a firmware update did fix it though. Updating firmware is also ridiculous, why do we need to hold the middle mouse button and DPI button and while holding still plug it in, and only after that can you release the buttons? Why can't we customize DPI? The no software is also stupid imo.

[@Kworks86]

ah i have the same problem with my infinity skins too i thought it was just not well made >

[@Dubli208]

After using mine for over a year, the scroll wheel started scrolling the other way when scrolling. It also randomly scrolls when I slam it sometimes. I guess the scrollwheel decoder is faulty or needs cleaning. I tried opening it up and cleaning it but it seems like I need to desolder it to clean it, and I can't be bothered doing that. I ordered a beast x mini instead. We'll see how good that is.

[@Lv7Kevin]

Yeah I'm going to stray away from this company moving forward. Too many QC issues.

[@K0NVICTx]

I almost bought this mouse 2 days ago for $150. But then realized it was Micro-USB & passed. For the cost of the mouse, they should be type-c.

[@Cloud-lc7wn]

Personally the Micro-USB wasn't such a big deal for me considering I only need to charge it for 30 minutes then I can use it for another 3 weeks or more. But yea, you're right at the price of $190 retail it should be at least Type-C I don't understand why Micro-USB is still not obsolete at this point.

[@thrillingd]

weight module is heavier for usb-c

[@K0NVICTx]

@@Divinity_vA because it’s 2023. No one wants several different cables at their desk. One type-c should be all you need.

[@SumeYT]

On my 3rd finalmouse haha. I am obsessed with the shape, weight, and comfort for fingertip gripping. Would recommend for people looking for a comfy mouse.

[@cam_i_corn2994]

What size is yours

[@SumeYT]

@@cam_i_corn2994 I have had both small and medium. Medium more comfy for sure

[@disabledfr]

how is your QC experience?

[@i_Vex169]

Is it worth buying i worried about qc issues ?

[@Lv7Kevin]

I personally wouldn't buy this brand anymore. My mouse did end up breaking which I showed in my Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 video. My current one mouse recommendation would be the Logitech, but as always remember to do your own research to meet your personal needs.

[@dunkinzsoda]

haha your hand and wrist look like a cute turtle bobbing in and out 4:44

[@g1ansha964]

I’m talking about intro…Almost looks and feels like optimum tech… u should have ur personal vibe mate…

[@VainFriggus]

I have to disagree with the assessment that the mouse “won’t make you better” because my aim has never been better since I started using this mouse.

[@kururugi8221]

A mouse with a comfortable shape for your hand would definitely make you better, so I agree with you

[@hhh-ch8ho]

​@@kururugi8221 minimal low elo difference

[@thirstfps]

Is this still your main mouse?

[@Lv7Kevin]

Switched to GPX2, recently made an unboxing video

[@replyifdrinksbathwater]

what software does he use to check double clicking? anyone know

[@Lv7Kevin]

I just googled "Double click test" and used the first result. Specifically, it's the codepen link.

[@lerbyn]

No usb c is a deal breaker

[@noshut]

I think this is a weird logical block. Like does it really matter that much that you’re plugging in the mouse maybe once every two weeks into a non USB C cable? You’ll get annoyed the very first time then after that forget the cable even exists since it’s a wireless mouse.

[@lerbyn]

@@noshut literally everything else I own uses usb c, I would have to have a special cable just for my mouse which I don't want laying around when I don't use it. I always have usb c handy to charge my phone, headphones etc

[@noshut]

@@lerbyn the dongle is micro usb which is included. You have to have the dongle plugged in at all times next your mouse. When ready to charge the mouse, you reach over, unplug dongle, and plug in mouse.

[@adishvr]

@@lerbyn Its not usb c since that would add a couple extra grams, they want the lightest weight possible. and the cable would obviously come with the mouse...

[@Brankokovac]

I guess the majority of pro fps players don’t think it’s a deal breaker, considering the GPX uses microUSB and more than half of pro players use that mouse

[@FerCrook]

usb t rex

[@negrebsnik1897]

aint no way im payin 200 just to get 60k on gridshot 💀

[@qurtsy450]

When it comes to your personal opinion on buying it.. you really didnt give it. You said very opinionated questions as an answer leaving ot to the audience to decide. You're the one who owns the mouse so please feel free tl give the pros and cons! ❤

[@neilw8221]

That unprofessional response from the customer service is outrageous
