SteelSeries Sensei 310 Gaming Mouse – 12,000 CPI

Grand première pour moi, j’ai l’habitude de devoir prendre mes marques avec une nouvelle souris et ce n’est pas le cas de celle-ci. Je l’ai prise en main très rapidement et j’ai pu m’amuser sur mes jeux préférés directement sans me poser de question.

Excelente Produto, já tinha um, comprei outro

This is my first SteelSeries mouse, I usually stick with Logitech and Roccat but after seeing reviews for the new line they put out decided to give the Rival 310 a try. After trying the mouse I’m immediately a convert and will look to SteelSeries first when looking for a mouse.

The shape of this mouse is the best thing about it, for palm grip users or anyone like me who uses a palm/fingertip grip needs to try this mouse. Immediately if fit perfectly into my hand and became an extension of it, I stopped noticing it was in my hand after only a few minutes. It also has the best mouse feet I have ever felt, and I’ve owned lots of mice. They glide without any feeling against the Mousepad, I wish I could buy these mouse feet to use in all my mice they’re that amazing. It’s a great size for my hand and I think will be for most people. Just long enough to rest inside my hand fully but slim and short enough to still control easily. As I said before the best way I can describe it is that I stopped noticing the mouse almost immediately, it just feels natural to use.

The build quality is very solid, no flex or rattling at all. All the buttons are short and crisp, the left and right click can travel quite far if you use a lot of pressure but if you click like a normal person you won’t notice at all. The scroll wheel is soft and fast with enough tenting between steps to control easily when moving slowly. The rubber sides are textured and make this mouse very easy to control and pick up something low DPI users will appreciate. The plastic costing is also textured and almost rough compared to other smooth and soft mice. I really like the feeling, it makes it very hard to slip even when applying too much pressure with your fingers. I can see how some people would prefer smoothing coating as it feels more high quality but for performance I prefer this textured plastic. After using the mouse for a bit I doubt you will even notice it. The sensor is top of the line optical and from all the reviews and personal testing I’ve had no jitter, spin out, or any ghosting at all.

Now for the one down side of this mouse, the software and if you care about it the lighting as well. SteelSeries really needs to improve their customizability and interface in general. It’s very simple and easy to use but has fewer options than Logitech, Roccat, or Razer. It only has 2 DPI settings which will be unacceptable for some players but works fine for me and most users who only use 1 DPI. The lighting options are very limited with no unique settings, the lighting on the mouse itself is fine and has bright sharp colors and I think people who will like this mouse for performance won’t really care about the RGB effects. I have mine off or set to the steady orange of SteelSeries.

I would highly recommend any gamer who uses palm or fingertip grip to go to a store and try this mouse. I prefer it’s shape to any mouse I’ve tried before including the G403, Kone Pure Owl Eye, Deathadder, EC2-A, and FK2.

Sensei 310 is an excellent ambi mouse. Love the silicone side grips, probably one of the most comfortable mice I’ve used so far. I’m on the fence on whether this will replace my fk2 as my main gaming mouse, this mouse is comfortable! Honestly I was suprised due to how low of profile this mouse has. The sensor is excellent quality with precise 1:1 tracking for FPS (tournament grade). Can definitely use this for many different game genres. Great for someone who wants a nice mouse that’s not too flashy but hits a home run in performance. 2 RGB lighting zones, very aesthetically pleasing. The SteelSeries software is easy to install and use. It has a matte black finish with really crisp feeling LMB RMB clicks. My only gripe is that I wish the scroll wheel was tighter, not as much resistance that I was hoping for. I’m sure it will be good for web surfing and document browsing but for gaming functionality a little more resistance would’ve been nice. The triggers are split on this mouse with omron mech switches which apparently boasts a 50 million click guarantee. 2 buttons on the left side of the mouse along with 2 buttons on the right side of the mouse. They are thin enough and placed well to avoid accidental key press, could be a tad larger in size but still very well done. Since I just received this mouse and started using it I cannot comment yet on the durability of this mouse but from a short hand experience the build quality is good so my expectations of a good length of life is there for me. Definitely feels like it will last longer physically then the rival 300 series I was previously using as the grips on the sides wore down incredibly fast leaving the mouse to have a very “battle scarred” look. Quick deterioration = change of shape = inconsistency in grip (IMO). Hopefully the silicone grips do the trick. Note this mouse is pretty light, great for some but not for all. Definitely doesn’t hinder the feel of quality to me. Highly recommend this mouse, especially for all you competitive players out there. Great job SteelSeries, new favorite mouse added to my collection (replaced the rival series for me).
