Sorry for being toxic by having bias towards the Prime Wireless. (It was in your Seal Of Approval poll) You still to me feel like you absolutly *HATE* Steelseries as a brand he says the Steelseries software is stupid with literally nothing to back it up and it just doesn't feel right.

[@bonanzabrandon6877]

I mained the full size prime wireless for a while, but I moved on because a.) The clicks are very loud and heavier than I prefer and b.) at 80g the whole mouse is heavier than I prefer.

[@eli_toliao]

Thanks techne. I love both of ur vids

[@JimsTechWorld]

Thank you for pointing out the sensor is actually a 3335!

[@wokebird]

The main buttons are actually what killed the Prime series for me. My own humanbenchmark testing results show that they have about 10 to 15 ms extra latency compared to my mains (GPX, Viper, etc.). I think it's actually because the clicks are very heavily tensioned so that your fingers can't actuate them easily.

[@Danko_HS]

Why improve 2 of the best mice in esports history when you can try to reinvent the wheel ... and fail?

[@413fps]

​@@Danko_HS it's really hard to believe how they can be so dumb. Zowie stole steelseries leadership in esports and showed the world how to sell good shaped mice like hotcakes for years just by updating the sensor. And then other brands showed zowie they need to improve more and they're slowly starting to improve weight, cable. Let's see how it goes. But steelseries... they are just blind and deaf.

[@Danko_HS]

@@413fps My guess is they replaced the CEO (i know that for a fact) and staff from Sensei days and the new staff didn't wanna go down the same road, hence the horrendous shapes they've been releasing lately. But for me the Superlight is very close to Sensei's shape and the Hati S wireless is a great alternative to Kinzu, so Steelseries can do whatever they want for all i care, i'm 👌🏼

[@plaguepartyy]

For me.. my aerox 3 ghost is my endgame. I have a super light, viper ultimate, viper mini, orochi v2, and nothing fits my hand quite like the aerox 3. The weight, shape, everything is just perfect. Even the software is the best in comparison, especially since they've added sonar. My aim and gameplay definitely improved as soon as I switched to my ghost.

[@Babbages]

Roccat burst air is actually close and sensor on it is amazing i like aerox 3 and that my aim was amazing with both but they were to thin n made my hand kinda hurt after hours of playing so hada go a lil bigger n get a gpx would actually rather be using one of them 2 mouses than it really more of a fan of there sensors implamintation and feel is what sucks.

I pretty much agree with everything you said in the video. I’ve been using my mini for about 2-3 weeks now and while it is comfy In games where I don’t use the side buttons it becomes a bit awkward in games where I do. Might go back to a RVU or GPX

[@boardzy]

GPX feels 100x better imo

[@nastyx7885]

@BONESANI honestly that’s why I prefer the RVU, but people don’t like the flush side buttons. I never had an issue with pressing the buttons. I do wish the mouse feet were bigger though, but the Hyperglides make it better

I know that for every product there is a customer but 130 is too much, hard to believe that the makers of basically the best gaming keyboard struggle this much with a mouse.

@boardzy for 80$ is the mini wireless worth?

[@tjeerdtenhoopen1900]

I've used both the prime wireless and this mini iteration. The clicks on the mini one are actually slightly lighter. However because of the 73g in a small form factor it actually feels heavier than the 80 grams version. I really wanted to like the mini but it just isn't quite there technically as well as weight wise. I've also heard people anecdotally claim that the magnetic clicks cause extra latecy, I found this difficult to replicate so I'm not sure about that. 3/10 buy something that's better and (probably) cheaper.

[@0ptiMiced]

I Don't agree on the Aerox 3 Ghost. I passed on the original Aerox 3 release due to all the negative reception it had gathered for its shoddy build quality, and bad feet, even though the shape looked like I would enjoy it as it shared a lot of similarities to another mouse I liked a lot (the Roccat Burst Pro) Saw the Ghost re-release and decided to pull the trigger since the new colorway just looks awesome in my opinion. The moment I got it in my hand it became my main and I bought a back-up. Easily my favorite mouse shape that trims down and improves on the Burst's dimensions perfectly for my hand size (20x10) The build quality/QC of my copies is solid with 0 issues except one of the copies the feet is scratchier than the other for some reason... The sensor/performance etc... has all been perfect and the clicks are very light and satisfying. As of right now I feel it is the best mouse out there for me having tried pretty much everything out right now.

LMFAO TYPICAL Steelseries, SHOCKINGLY out of touch and completely predictable.... What's even more hilarious is the sheer ignorance of ANYONE, who thinks wireless costs more than peanuts to implement these days, it's literally dirt cheap hence why Razer are doing 4K, I mean they need SOMETHING to get those premium price tags and brainwash people into thinking it's a 'thing'. That is a £39.99 mouse, (I think the wired one goes for around £24 now, which is about right) which is wireless so at most, AT MOST.... £59.99 (that's a 50% price INCREASE for literally just more weight and wireless LOL, I am being generous here) Anything over that is utter Steelseries underhanded skulduggery. It still makes me laugh how they are in every ones heads like 'wireless' is SUCH A 'THING' - it's BOG STANDARD, for YEARS. As of 2023 the wireless Prime and Prime mini are worth about £39.99 at the most.
