Regardless of the purpose or frequency of use, all computer users have a unique mouse holding style. These grip styles are divided into three groups as palm grip, fingertip grip and claw grip. In order to increase the comfort of the time spent in front of the computer and the performance in the game, it is of great importance for the users to recognize their own grip and choose the right equipment accordingly. SteelSeries, which prioritizes users’ requests and usage patterns while producing mice, as it does with all its equipment, offers its products to users according to every grip style by having many different models in its mouse collection.
Rival 5 for those who prefer palm grip
The Palm grip is a grip in which users grasp the body of the mouse with their entire palm and press the mouse switches with almost all of their index and middle fingers. It is known as the most commonly used and most comfortable grip among mouse grip styles. The disadvantage of this grip style is that it reduces accuracy during mouse clicks. SteelSeries’ performance star Rival 5 gaming mouse is built to capitalize on the advantages and disadvantages of the palm grip.
While the wide body of SteelSeries Rival 5 makes it easier to grasp the palm, the upper surface made of special material makes it possible to hold the mouse without slipping, even during long-term use. The 9 macro keys on the side of Rival 5 can be adjusted to make the desired combinations and can automatically detect and change key combinations when switching from one game to another. Equipped with the TrueMove Air sensor that offers real-time and perfect pixel sensitivity, the Rival 5 is capable of special true 1-to-1 monitoring with 18,000 CPI, 400 IPS, 40G acceleration and tilt tracking.
The new generation Gold Micro IP54 switches, challenging the hit-reducing disadvantage of the palm grip style, do not compromise their high performance even after 80 million clicks. These keys, which have improved dust and water resistance, enable high level shots with full accuracy without the fear of double clicks even under the toughest conditions. In addition, the Rival 5 supports all grip styles, including palm use.
Aerox 3 for those who love fingertip grip
The Fingertip grip is simply defined as the grip style in which users grasp mouse switches with only their fingertips, without their palms touching the mouse body. This grip type, which ranks second in the prevalence of use and has the disadvantage of being the most tiring grip type among all grip types, provides a strong mouse control. Aerox 3 mouse, which has recently announced its 2022 versions, is produced in accordance with the fingertip grip style with its lightness and superior performance.
SteelSeries Aerox 3, specially designed for speed and comfortable gaming performance, weighs only 59g. Aerox 3, which has roller skates made of 100 percent virgin PTFE Teflon material, offers enhanced control.
With a TrueMove Core optical gaming sensor under its eye-catching design, the Aerox 3 uses next-generation Golden Micro IP54 switches rated for 80 million clicks. In addition, 3-zone RGB lighting makes the unique Aerox silhouette even more striking. Aerox 3, the first gaming mouse to receive the IP54 rating by combining aesthetics and safety, is equipped with a water-resistant AquaBarrier and provides protection against all spills and accidents that may occur at the computer.
Prime mouse for those who prefer claw grip
The claw grip is a claw-like grip, in which the user’s palm is curled so that the middle and upper parts remain on the mouse body, gripping the mouse with only the lower part, and making clicks with only the tips of the fingers, making almost ninety-degree right angles. It is known that the claw grip style is preferred by gamers and esports players because it is advantageous while playing games. The disadvantage of the claw grip, where more accurate shots can be made, is that it is the most uncomfortable grip among all grip styles. The Prime mouse, which is included in the Prime series designed by SteelSeries for esports with the feedback of esports players, is specially designed to support and eliminate the disadvantages of the claw grip style used by players, like all other members of the series.
Produced specifically for esports, the Prime mouse weighs only 69 grams. In this way, it offers the highest comfort to users who use the already tiring and uncomfortable claw grip style without tiring them out more with unnecessary weights. Prime, whose outer body is covered with a durable new matte polymer material, eliminates the possibility of slipping and escaping, and increases the comfort of holding once again.
Equipped with a premium TrueMove Pro sensor, Prime moves with 18,000 CPI, 450 IPS and 50G acceleration. Combining the unmatched 1-to-1 tracking performance of SteelSeries TrueMove sensors and the natural advantage of claw grip, Prime can shoot precisely where you take it. Equipped with Prestige Optical Magnetic (OM) switches, Prime mouse revolutionizes performance and durability.
Prestige optical magnetic switches respond at quantum speed, instantly responding to the click speed of the player. A technology different from ordinary mouse mechanisms, Prestige OM (Optical Magnetic) switches use a steel torsion spring held in place by a specially ground neodymium magnet. This unique technology makes the Prime series 5 times more durable than any competitor in its class.
