I've found this gem when I was looking for just by "Sims" on Amazon. (And I also found the official The Sims 4 Headset and The Sims 4 Mousepad. The headset I'll get me in any case!) First seemed the ~ 30 Euro quite high, but now is not the way. The opportunity to test the mouse extensively, I had this year at Gamescom when Sims 4 booth. In action, and - above all - to see real and unpacked, convinced me and the same day I ordered the mouse itself. Just right, because my old Logitech mouse would certainly persevered much longer!
Now the product: The mouse is an excellent workmanship and is great in the hand. That the mouse does not matte, but a glossy finish gives it a modern and luxurious touch. The 2 extra keys on the left side of the mouse can be programmed as desired with the SteelSeries Engine 3 (software available on the SteelSeries website, full address is also on the flyer that came with the mouse.), But one should be careful here, no accommodate larger functions, since one (especially at the Sims) like to come off accidentally. Did they then determined that a particular program is to be opened, you will be constantly thrown out of the game! So you should create smaller functions on the keys. The top on me, for example my PC completely silent, and the bottom is in web browsers at their own expense because they were occupied with "F5" and therefore now be updated every time you print the current page. Another plus goes to the well-designed SteelSeries Engine 3 that allows a handsome in appearance, determine the sensitivity and more. For me personally, the mouse was to factory settings namely too fast, but this is very easy to fix. The left and right mouse buttons and the scroll wheel also react smoothly and without problems. The click sounds are not too loud. Furthermore, the mouse is very light, which the usability is only doing good. One small problem I've found so far, however it: The mouse glitch sometimes wildly around the screen, but which obviously is at my desk (So far no Mousepad what but this will change very soon.), As it is only at a specific point happened and on the remaining area not.
We come to the highlight of the mouse, the 30 justify what I think: Since it is an official Sims mouse, the Plumbob Diamond is below the mouse wheel. This lights up (The Sims 4) in the colors of the current mood of the Sims! Are you all right, it will turn green, it goes them bad, it will turn red! The good thing is: This function is not only limited to The Sims 4: About the already earlier vowed SteelSeries Engine 3, it is also possible outside of The Sims 4 specify custom colors, even individually for specific applications! The absolute finishing touches receives the LED diamond but by SteelSeries Color Shift function. This feature allows the user to define color change sequences, so that the LED not only illuminates uniformly! What here, however, could have been done better, would be to allow the user to set their own sequences and offer not only Prefabricated.

The mouse is worth the money for sure!
