The Finalmouse Starlight Pro - TenZ Medium is a lightweight, wireless gaming mouse and a continuation of the Finalmouse Starlight-12 lineup. Like other mice in the series, it has a magnesium alloy shell with a honeycomb design to keep the mouse very light. This version retains the same sensor and overall construction but has a new visual design, featuring a silver body with an anodized metallic finish and a black stripe down the center, as well as an engraved 'Starlight' motif on the right-click button. Finalmouse also advertises minor improved build quality controls with this batch and has included a set of its ' InfinitySkins 2.0 ', which are adhesive polyurethane pieces you can add individually or in layers to adjust the size and feel of the mouse.

Note: Finalmouse releases its mice in drops of limited quantities, meaning they're only available until stock runs out. At the time of writing, the drop for the Finalmouse Starlight Pro - TenZ is over, and all units are sold. Currently, you can only purchase this mouse from third-party resellers.

Our Verdict

0.0
Work 

The Finalmouse Starlight Pro - TenZ is a fairly good office and multimedia mouse, though it isn't designed for this usage. It feels very sturdy and has a comfortable shape suitable for most hand sizes. Unfortunately, it doesn't support Bluetooth and lacks software for reprogramming buttons.

Pros
  • Feels very well-built and sturdy.
  • Comfortable size and shape for most hand sizes and grip types.
Cons
  • No Bluetooth support.
  • Wireless receiver isn't designed for portability.
  • No customization software.

Video Games (FPS) 

The Finalmouse Starlight Pro - TenZ is an excellent FPS gaming mouse. It's extremely lightweight but feels very sturdy and has a comfortable shape well-suited for most hand sizes. Performance-wise, it has excellent overall sensor performance and click latency, and its feet glide very smoothly on mousepads and directly on desks. Unfortunately, you can only choose between four fixed CPI settings, and there isn't any software for customizing sensor behavior or button mapping.

Pros
  • Extremely lightweight.
  • Feels very well-built and sturdy.
  • Comfortable size and shape for most hand sizes and grip types.
  • Feet glide very smoothly on mousepads and desks.
Cons
  • Wireless receiver isn't designed for portability.
  • Only four fixed CPI settings and no customization software for sensor adjustments or button remapping.
0.0
Video Games (MMO) 

The Finalmouse Starlight Pro - TenZ is a mediocre option for MMO gaming as it only has two side buttons, and none of its buttons are programmable. That said, it does feel very well-built and has excellent sensor performance and click latency.

Pros
  • Feels very well-built and sturdy.
  • Comfortable size and shape for most hand sizes and grip types.
Cons
  • Not nearly as many side buttons as a dedicated MMO mouse.
  • Wireless receiver isn't designed for portability.
  • Only four fixed CPI settings and no customization software for sensor adjustments or button remapping.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The Finalmouse Starlight Pro - TenZ has Medium and Small sizes available. We purchased and tested the Medium size version. We haven't tested the Small version, but similar to other Small-size models within the Starlight-12 lineup, we expect it to be approximately five grams lighter and more suitable for smaller hand sizes but perform very similarly otherwise. You can see the label for our unit here.

    There's a variant of this mouse called the Finalmouse Starlight Pro Last Legend. This variant has a black and silver color scheme and is available in both medium and small sizes, with the exact dimensions and advertised weights as previous models in this series. The Last Legend features several differences, including Omron 20M instead of Kailh 8 switches, a new TTC gold mouse wheel encoder, firmware updates, and minor production and assembly differences meant to address some of the build quality issues with previously released versions in the Starlight-12 lineup.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The Finalmouse Starlight Pro - TenZ is a continuation of the Starlight-12 lineup and features a new silver colorway and included side grips. Finalmouse also indicates some minor tweaks to the manufacturing process to address misaligned scroll wheels and double-clicking issues that were noted on previous versions. Otherwise, this mouse remains an exceptionally lightweight, high-performance FPS-focused mouse. It's significantly more expensive than other gaming mice, in part due to its limited release and subsequent availability only through third-party retailers.

    Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT

    Track

    The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT and the Finalmouse Starlight Pro - TenZ Medium are lightweight wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. The Logitech has better sensor performance and click latency, but the Finalmouse is lighter.

    Zaunkoenig M2K

    Track

    The Zaunkoenig M2K and the Finalmouse Starlight Pro - TenZ Medium are both lightweight gaming mice. The Zaunkoenig is a wired-only model that's significantly lighter and has a carbon fiber shell. It also has a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. However, it lacks side buttons and is only suitable for use with a fingertip grip. On the other hand, the Finalmouse is a wireless model with a magnesium alloy shell. It also has two side buttons on the left and is better suited for a wider range of hand sizes and grip types.

    Finalmouse Starlight-12 Small

    Track

    The Finalmouse Starlight-12 Small and the Finalmouse Starlight Pro - TenZ Medium are very similar mice in the same lineup. The Starlight-12 Small is an earlier version and a Small variant, while the Starlight Pro - TenZ is the larger Medium sized variant and has minor manufacturing improvements. These two mice have similar performance in most respects, but the newer Starlight Pro - TenZ has lower click latency.

    Razer Viper V2 Pro

    Track
