Our Verdict

Mountain Makalu 67

Finalmouse Starlight-12 Medium

The Finalmouse Starlight-12 Medium is a lighter, more versatile ultra-lightweight gaming mouse than the Mountain Makalu 67. The Finalmouse connects either wired with its charging cable or wirelessly with its USB receiver. It's significantly lighter and feels sturdier. On the other hand, the Mountain is a wired-only model. It has a wider CPI range, and you can adjust the CPI by increments of 50, while the Finalmouse only has four preset CPI settings. The Mountain also has customization software, which the Finalmouse lacks. Both mice are suitable for all grip types, but the Mountain is more accommodating for extra-large hands, while the Finalmouse is more accommodating for small hands.
