SteelSeries Sensei Pro Grade Laser Mouse Review (Electronics)

Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido), 4 days ago

Today SteelSeries announced availability on the new Sensei Pro Grade Laser Mouse. This is not your steelseries sensei offers some cool featureshardcore gaming mouse that will improve your K/D ratio in your favorite first-person shooter, but it is a slick little piece of PC gear that you might really want to check out. Why? Because it’s just plain cool all around.

For a long time I’ve been using a dual mouse setup because I’m left-dominant ambidextrous and for decades I was forced to use right-handed mice. But in the past few years there have been more and more PC mice coming out that are offering more even designs that can be used in either hand or specifically for the left hand. In fact, on my desk right now is the Razer left-handed Death Adder (now removed from service), the NZXT Avatar S (for my right hand) and the SteelSeries Sensei (left hand). The two that are currently in service could be exchanged because they both sport ambidextrous design aesthetics. But we’re here to  talk about the SteelSeries Senei right now (I’ll do the Avatar S later this week).

First let’s look at the SteelSeries Sensei from a technical aspect.Cool led color tricks

 Our Rating for SteelSeries Sensei Pro Grade Laser Mouse Review (Electronics)
10.0
Feel
Amazingly comfortable and natural in the hand. They certainly did a lot of work to get the curves perfect on this and they did!
9.5
Usability
If you�re not looking for a massive set of options for gaming but enough to fine tune the performance and reposition the buttons this will definitely do you well. Plus, you can change all the colors on the LEDs and the cool little LCD display that you can load a bitmap into is pretty cool.
8.0
Value
It�s a bit on the pricey side for a mouse that�s not positioned as a hardcore gaming mouse, but it has a load of features that just make it plain cool. What price do you put on having a mouse that you can customize to the lights in your computer rigs and put your own nameplate on?
9.0
Overall
The SteelSeries Sensei is crazy cool, amazingly comfortable and just downright fun to use and play with. I think I spent an hour changing the colors on the LEDs until I settled on a configuration. Plus, I�ll probably make a couple profiles and switch between them just to have different color profiles with the exact same settings.
