Hey everyone!

About two years ago, I shared a post here on r/MouseReview showing my journey collecting SteelSeries peripherals over the years. Time flies, and today marks roughly the 2-year anniversary of that post. Since then, I’ve managed to hunt down some incredible pieces and make some major updates to the collection, so I wanted to share my progress with the community!

Here are some of the rarest highlights I’ve added recently:

• World of Tanks Bundle: A super rare bundle that was exclusively sold in-person at a convention in Russia, making it extremely difficult to track down today.
• Medal of Honor Mouse: Produced in very limited quantities, making finding one in good condition a real challenge.
• Blade & Soul Mouse: The rare Asian edition mouse tied to the game.
• Fallout Set: Complete set items that were originally only released in the US, so tracking them down and getting them over to Europe was quite an adventure.
• Retro & Classic Game Collab Mousepads: A set of rare mousepads featuring collaborations with classic franchises and retro companies, including Rockman (Mega Man), Atari, Pac-Man, and Sonic.
• BlizzCon Mousepads: A few special edition pads added to the lineup.

Overall, finding these pieces in pristine condition with their original boxes has been a massive hunt, as most of them are genuinely hard to come by nowadays.

I also want to take a moment to express a huge thank you to this community. Over the past two years, so many of you have reached out to help me track down missing pieces. A very special shoutout goes to user u/Opening_Willow8229, who completely unselfishly offered me what is quite possibly the final puzzle piece for my SteelSeries x Counter-Strike collection: the rare HyperBeast QCK Mini mousepad. I couldn't be more grateful.

Another special shoutout has to go to the SteelSeries staff—and specifically u/MayDayFigs, who reached out to me directly after seeing my original post two years ago. They very kindly surprised me with some amazing items that I treasure deeply, including a super rare pre-production unit of the Arctis 7 "Ghost Edition" headset—a variant that never actually made it to retail—along with a letter congratulating me on the collection (I’ve attached photos of both the headset and the letter below!).

As a fun side note, the SteelSeries team even posted a TikTok reaction video to my original post, which was awesome and pretty funny to watch: TikTok Video

With these additions, I’ve pretty much completed everything I set out to find, with just one final "white whale" left on my list: the Blade & Soul mousepad. If anyone has any leads on that one, let me know!

Also, throughout this journey, I’ve picked up a few duplicate items. If anyone in the community is excited about finding a specific piece and wants to trade or needs help adding it to their setup, feel free to reach out—I’d love to help out fellow collectors!

I’d love to see what you guys have in your setups as well. Feel free to share photos of your own peripheral collections in the comments, drop any funny collecting stories, or suggest any rare SteelSeries products that you think might still be missing from my display.

Thanks for reading, and here’s to preserving a bit of gaming and hardware history!

Oh baby... This looks like the refreshed hyperlight many of us has been waiting for. No specs listed though, but it better have a 3955 in it.

Looks like exactly the same shape, just updated. They posted this on their official X account. Drop is tomorrow!

I've kind of come to terms that God has given me the palm grip ergo gene and the DA V3 shape still hits different compared to other ergos I've tried (Vaxee E1, EC3, 2, 1, G703). 18.5x9 hands.

Minimal button wobble (practically non-existent), moderate pre, minimal post, moderate-light clicks, somewhat light scroll wheel but generally quite quiet, perfect side buttons, shape is excellent (perfect for me personally, after having tried quite a few ergo and ambi mice over the past year). 59 grams is a great weight for me personally.

Also really great price, especially nowadays (460HKD out the door, or 58-59USD).

The EC1 and 2 have flatter, less rounded backs and taller relative button heights, which I found left an empty space in my naturally curved palm, and almost forced a palm grip. The Deathadder fills that space perfectly while allowing my fingers to curl or rest as needed. The Vaxee E1 was a bit too small, but had good general proportions. EC3 almost forces a claw grip for my hand size which I found very uncomfortable.

Very happy using this until a V5 comes out, if I even need/want to upgrade.

Just wanted to share my mostly green setup. I am not a heavy gamer, I just mainly play an MMORPG so I can't give an opinion on its 8k feature.

i just came across this 95g wired square brick and was wondering what you guys thought about it;

it literally has a 3.1-inch color touchscreen slapped onto the palm rest with an onboard keyboard, calendar widgets, and air-mouse gyro controls, all for a casual $199 early bird ($250 msrp).

obviously no one here is buying this thing, but even pretending it is strictly for office desk setups, paying $200 just to rub clammy palm sweat all over an lcd display while trying to move a cursor is peak kickstarter tech bloat, or am i wrong?

Added a TP4056 + 800mAh rechargeable battery, custom scroll wheel, The design is in very early stage but I tried to make it so as to use as less screws as possible, the side buttons and the battery case can be mounted as it is due to tight clearance also for it to look finished as be sturdy,a lot of 3d prints design have a tendency to break after some use and have fragile parts to reduce weight and break on thin layer lines ,this however has strudier parts and even with huge battery,the mouse weighs 69gms total as of now, plus many designs use and expensive female type c connector,so I made a mount for tp4056 to use it as it is which makes it pocket friendly as well

I found this mice on coupang korean amazon for roughly 15 dollars
It seems to me that its 1 to 1 copy of the darmoshark m5 mouse but for a 15 dollars is crazy

Does anyone have this beauty? Razer Deathadder Essential Hello Kitty and Friends Edition.

It's kind of hilarious Razer uses the Essential as a base for these cutesy special editions because the target audience are buying these for the appearance, not specs.

Not the prettiest but managed to get it under 40g without drilling through the top of the shell. Removed most of the base and bracing inside. Surprisingly not as much flex as I thought, the front where I hold it doesn't flex at all. The back will flex if squeezed which is okay with me as I mostly fingertip/claw. Decided to try this before buying/3d printing a lightweight base but I seem to have gone lighter than what they advertise so I'll be using this for now.

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone has tried out the thin OP1 8k v2 cable from Aliexpress. I’m sure the Midori or PMM cable are probably better quality and reliable in terms of connection but this cable kinda piqued my curiosity.

(Picture for reference)

Been using mine for a year. It's my first intentionally invested gaming mouse and it's looking good so far except I'm starting to see a few inconsistencies with the coating but that's probably because I have sweaty palms. On the other hand, I'd like to hear how it had been for others

Hi, I’m looking for a good gaming mouse for competitive games and regular use. I want something reliable and comfortable without spending too much.

What would you guys recommend for a reasonable price? Wired or wireless, both are fine.

Hello!! I have big hands and im looking for a mouse that would last for a few years. I dont know much about gaming mice but i would like something arround 40euros and im completely open for suggestions. Thanks to everyone

I believe that the g303/g302 wasn't just good because of its shape - it also had the best light spammy clicks and an optical scroll wheel. So I hope the Kira will be just as good in these aspects.

Rn I am mouseless and planning to buy a mouse but I can't choose between VXE r1+ and G304.

Both have same warranty

G304 costs $10 more

I don't really care about weight battery and stuff.

All I care is sensor and long term use.

I couldn't find any discussion about the titan-2. It's the sequel to the Titan 0 & Titan 1 from olaf.

Just want to get a general community discussion about this extreme fingertip mouse going and hopefully getting one myself when it drops.

I've been using the Logitech G502 Hero for almost 3 years now, but with the cord fraying, i need to replace it. Recently ive been using Aimlabs, and one of my biggest weaknesses is my shakiness, and i think part of it is how heavy the mouse is.

Looking for a new gaming mouse with at least 5 buttons, preferably 80 grams or lighter (the Hero is 120ish). Tried amazon and a few google searches, but it was all advertisement crap.

Budget of 60$ or under, i dont want a crazy mouse, just something that works.

Asked before if there was a simple wired mouse out there, and this one didn't get mentioned.

$29USD, DPI isn't close to current models but I don't really care. A bit heavier but I don't really care, I actually prefer a bit of heft over the typical 60-80g lightweight meta.

Logitech won't make a "classic" shape in their current catalogue. I can't think of any other brands having a product like this. Is there something wrong with it?

Been using the GPX C but the sensor is skipping. Preferably would like a better jump in the back. Overall size is nice tho. I used to use a Zowie s2C back n the day and it was really nice. Lowkey don’t wanna pay flagship prices anymore so clones more than welcome!

Don’t have a tape measure laying around currently but I’m pretty sure last time I measured it was 17.5 by something lol

Tried a viper v3 and returned that thing the next day lol

Appreciate yalls time and recs 🥹❤️

Hi, I am looking for a mouse for mainly fps games.
I play CS2(Main), Valorant and PUBG.
Previously used Zowie S2, VXE R1.
I have my eyes on Scyrox V8s, ATK U2 V2 Mini and Mchose L7 Ultra Plus.
Open to suggestions.
Cheers!

Hey guys,

I love the Lamzu Atlantis front sides—how they curve inward for that locked-in grip. But I hate the wide, aggressive rear flares (that Rival 3 style back end).

Looking for a mouse with deep inward front side curves like the Atlantis, but with a flatter/straighter back.

I’ve used eggs and diamonds like the G305 and Corsair Katar, but want something new.

Any recommendations?
