What Mouse Does Tfue Use?

Tfue's mouse history

Two mice, one switch. Both are FinalMouse models.

The Starlight-12 was his mouse for 7.6 months. In May 2023 he moved to the Starlight Pro, and that is still his current mouse. At 41.7 months (3.5 years), it is also the longest period in his history.

The 3.5 years on the Starlight Pro is more than five times the time he spent on the Starlight-12.

Mousepad

The pad is the Artisan FX Hien Soft Black. It is cloth with stitched edges, rated Speed-Oriented for overall glide.

At 49 cm by 42 cm and 3 mm thick, it gives plenty of room for the low-sensitivity setup shown below. He has used it since September 2022, which is 49.3 months. It was already under the Starlight-12 and has stayed under the Starlight Pro.

Mouse settings

In Fortnite he runs 400 DPI at 1000 Hz, with X and Y sensitivity both at 7.1%. Keeping the two axes equal means horizontal and vertical movement scale the same way.

Targeting and scope sensitivity are both 50.0%.

His Call of Duty: Warzone profile uses the same 400 DPI and 1000 Hz, with sensitivity 6.19. Acceleration, filtering and smoothing are all at 0, so the mouse input reaches the game unaltered.

Should you buy Tfue's mouse?

The Starlight Pro is an ambidextrous mouse, 12.2 cm long, 6.3 cm wide and 3.7 cm tall, weighing 42 g. It is wireless with the Finalsensor, Kailh GM 8.0 switches and a 1000 Hz polling rate. The symmetrical shape suits anyone who wants a mid-height, even-sided body. At 42 g it is a light mouse, so it favors players who want little mass to move.

The alternatives trade weight, size and polling rate against each other:

• WLMouse BEAST X Black: 2 g lighter, same length and height, 0.1 cm narrower. It has a PMW 3395 sensor, optical switches and 4000 Hz polling. Two pros use it now.
• Finalmouse Starlight-12 Hades: 5 g heavier, same length, width and height. Its sensor, switches and 1000 Hz polling match the Starlight Pro. Two pros use it now.
• Pulsar X2 CrazyLight: 3 g lighter, 0.2 cm shorter and 0.1 cm taller, same width. It has an XS-1 sensor, optical switches and 8000 Hz polling. Two pros use it now.

The Hades is the pick if you want the same internals and footprint with a bit more weight. The BEAST X and X2 CrazyLight cost you the Finalmouse sensor and switches, and in return give lower weight and higher polling rates.
