After owning 8+ different mice the Starlight is my EndGame mouse. Side buttons are perfectly sized and the only downside for me is Finalmouse doesn't have their own Mouse software for custom DPI's . Originally ordered a small from their Drop and loved it so much I bought a medium off ebay for $280 .

I tried going for the starlight, didn’t get one even tho i got into line right after it launched. Kind of frustrating, especially when you see all the others on twitter who also didn’t get one, and then some bots that got multiple for resell.
I ended up getting a g303 shroud instead, and honestly it doesn’t feel like i should be giving finalmouse my money, when they force their customers to hypebeast levels of obsession

[shredmajor]

"everyone will get one" I wouldn't hate this mouse so much if the company hadn't flat out lied to it's consumers. Can't wait for a different company to remake this thing better, cheaper, and with less ego.

[Dwellic]

If they had a software to adjust debounce, DPI, and macro options then these mice would be on another level. Using corepads side grips and it really improves the feel for me, they were surprisingly thin but still really effective. Waiting for lethal gaming to release their glass skates for it.

I find it funny how when the finalmouse mice are released they are overhyped af and become sold out immediately so you have to rely on scalpers who sell it to 3x price to get one, and once the hype dies down at least a dozen of new mice with same if not better specs and better price range release and people realize they aren’t worthy anymore.
This has happened to all finalmice, the starlight 12 is just the new example

[theintunity]

Its nearly twice the price of a G pro superlight, which I already found pretty expensive at 100 dollars. This mouse is not worth it.

[flashjor]

I got just got my small phantom and it makes my viper ultimate feel bloated and cheap. Hopefully more manufacturers go the magnesium route. I know G-wolves is doing it and I hope they succeed.

[CaptainBlitz]

I just wanna say that you are a man of culture for using the R99 in Apex so frequently

[OmnipotentO]

I’m never going out of my way to track one of these down so it doesn’t exist as far as I’m concerned.

Cool review though. If they ever sell them like normal I’d probably buy one. Or better yet if a competitor swoops in and does the same thing with similar or better quality then all the better.

Razer, Corsair, Steelseries, Cooler Master, Logitech, Hyperx, Endgame, etc I hope they’re all watching this.

Cheers OT great review on the Starlight-12 Phantom to start off the year new my good lad -)

DPI DEVIATION
Mention it please. It's been an issue since the Cape town and nobody is talking about it.

[roma_nova]

I got this one in the small size and I got the mouse of the gods Zeus in medium. I actually prefer the small size. I would say I have medium sized hands. Best mouse I’ve ever used by far. I probably own 15 plus and this one is by far the best. Nothing comes close imo.

[ahmadhaziq]

Ooooffff, ive been waiting for you to review this luxury mouse 👏🏼

[alpacamale]

They will end up making an aerogel mouse, mark my words.

[xplosiv]

definitely an interesting experience watching this again in 2023 with an optimum zeromouse in hand :D

[BZRK-]

If you want a wireless copy which is decent. Get the Gretxa v2. If you want the most similar in shape and don’t mind wired, get a HK gaming Sirius-M with a 3389. Don’t expect the sirius quality to be on par. But it’s the medium shape and solid sides at 54g. The gretxa is great in quality, but is about 68g and would recommend over the pwnage symm 2 especially as it comes in at $70 on most sites they sell it on like addice inc.

[bonanzabrandon]

I finally got my Starlight 12 phantom medium in the mail a few days ago and I like it. I don't like feeling the holes where I touch the mouse, it can feel a bit slippery and it does feel a bit small in my hands. Hopefully some grip tape will fix all of those issues a bit.

[Walhor]

Dont think we should follow finalmouse direction in them supplying low stocks and getting resold at insane prices. Theres a reason why Glorious Model O came out
