Mousepad
The pad is the SteelSeries QcK+, a stitched-edge cloth surface. Its glide is rated control-oriented, so it favors stopping power over raw slide.
At 2 mm it is thin, and the 45 x 40 cm surface gives the mouse a full cloth area to work on. He has paired it with the Starlight-12 since September 2022.

Mouse settings
X and Y sensitivity are identical, so horizontal and vertical movement run at the same speed. The 800 DPI base and 1000 Hz polling rate match the mouse's own polling rate.
The targeting value is a multiplier of the X/Y speed. At 45%, aiming down sights is slower than hip movement. Scope sensitivity at 100% keeps the scoped speed the same as X/Y.
| DPI | 800 |
| Hz | 1000 |
| X-Axis Sensitivity | 8.0% |
| Y-Axis Sensitivity | 8.0% |
| Targeting Sensitivity | 45.0% |
| Scope Sensitivity | 100.0% |
Should you buy Nate Hill's mouse?
The Starlight-12 is an ambidextrous wireless mouse. Of the four mice compared here, it is the lowest and narrowest. It is also the second lightest, behind only the WLMouse BEAST X Mini. It suits players who want a low, slim, symmetrical shape and a light wireless build.
The alternatives trade off weight, width and connection type:
- Finalmouse Ultralight 2: 8 g heavier, 0.1 cm longer, 1.8 cm wider and 1.4 cm taller. It is wired and polls at 500 Hz, with a PMW 3360 sensor.
- Xtrfy MZ1 Wireless: 17 g heavier, 0.38 cm shorter, 1.75 cm wider and 1.35 cm taller. It is wireless and offers 125, 500 and 1000 Hz polling. It uses the same Kailh GM 8.0 switches.
- WLMouse BEAST X Mini Black: 11 g lighter, 0.1 cm longer, 2.3 cm wider and 1.2 cm taller. It is wireless, with 4000 and 8000 Hz polling and optical switches.
For a lighter mouse, the BEAST X Mini is the only option here that goes below 45 g. For the same switches in a wireless body, the MZ1 Wireless matches the Kailh GM 8.0 buttons but is heavier and wider.
