SteelSeries Sensei 310 Gaming Mouse - 12,000 CPI TrueMove3 Optical Sensor - Ambidextrous Design - Split-Trigger Buttons - RGB Lighting, Black

PROS: Nice balanced mouse that is left handed friendly. Buttons and scroll wheel feel good, mouse isnt too light. Tracks well with cloth or hard surfaced mouse pads. CONS: Only 2 DPI settings can be stored. Mouse cord sometimes catches on things. Software is decent but has a small learning curve. I am left handed so my choices for gaming mice is a lot smaller. For years I was using GSkill Ripjaws mouse. Its a good, ambidextrous mouse with various customization options like weight, grips and palm height adjustment. Software was decent. I did like that you could save up to 5 different profile settings in the mouse and that the cord is braided. The tracking sensor is laser so I definitely felt it tracked better on a hard surface mouse pad. I owned the Ripjaw MX780 mouse for a few years now and some of the buttons didnt always work, so I ordered a replacement via Amazon and ran across the Steelseries Sensei mouse. I read some of the reviews and decided to give it a go. I immediately noticed a vast improvement over the Ripjaw mouse. I am in the minority when it comes to weight. I prefer my gaming mice to be on the heavier side. Now the Sensei is not as heavy as the Ripjaw MX780, which with the added weights came in around 123g. The Sensei also isnt as light as other top rated mice, like the ones from Logitech. I did try a couple of the Logitech ones and they all were too light for my personal taste. I am left handed so the ambidextrous design is perfect for me. My hands are on the larger side. (measurements 22cm length x 14cm width) The Sensei was a good size for me. I also like that you can reprogram all 4 side buttons. I have 2 complaints about this mouse. 1) I wish the cord was braided. I feel it sometimes sticks or easily catches on the surface of the mouse pad. I didnt have this problem with the GSkill Ripjaw MX780 mouse. Nothing a good mouse bungee could fix though. 2) I wish the software/hardware would allow you to save more than just 2 DPI settings. My old Ripjaw mouse allowed to have up to 5 different profiles stored. The Sensei only supports 2. I play a bit of Overwatch and liked having different DPI sensitivity settings available to me for the various heroes in game. Overall the Sensei is a great ambidextrous mouse and I honestly prefer it as my main mouse and have replaced my other mouse with it. ***UPDATE*** I originally gave 4 out of 5 stars when I first reviewed this mouse and now, after 3 months of use, its still going strong. No issues with the clicks and side buttons. The Sensei 310 still glides smoothly with the stock feet as it did the first day out of the box.

The rival 310 is a great mouse. Ive had it for about 3 months now and its has been amazing. The sensor is great, shape is great, weight is balanced. The materials used are great, there is no rattle, but the scroll wheel can be improved. The left-click button is a little looser than the right, but its not noticeable when using the mouse. All around its almost perfect. The only thing the makes this a four star rather than five is the grips. The grips themselves are fine, they do pick up on a little bit of gunk but they still functional well. Recently though, the adhesive has started to wear off, from standard use. Its not anything that serious, nothing a little bit of super glue wont fix. I just wish SteelSeries didnt skimp out on a decent adhesive. Hopefully they use a better adhesive if we ever get an updated version.

Okay so far the mouse has been excellent no problems what so ever with the mouse. Packaging is defiantly one of the best. - Good - The shape is overall pretty good. The LMB and RMB take a little more pressure than past mice Ive had but I like it. All other buttons are excellent. Plastic texture feels good but others think not. ( Its kinda sticky-ish / rough feeling ) Rubber side is overall good. - Bad - My ring finger and pinky feel weird because (opinion) the right side of the mouse come in too far and shour rather flair out not in. The texture and pattern of the rubber sides makes it slippery at times. - Other - Ive never seen this mentioned anywhere else but I feel like my mouse has a little bit of angle snapping on even though in the software its turned off. That may just be me imagining it but please let me know if you have anything on this.

One of the best mice for the price. Very accurate cursor tracking, even on accelerated track speeds. The textured rubber on both the left side and right side keep the mouse where you want it in hand. The scroll wheel also has textured rubber which aids in accurate scrolling. Clicks on all buttons and scrollwheel are definitive and audible. This mouse has a very balanced feel to it without being overly heavy or light. Programmable lighting on the logo and scrollwheel with steelseries software if youre into that. I reccomend this mouse to anyone who doesnt want to spend an arm/leg for a mouse but still wants high end features.

best budget mouse, personally it feels like the g pro x superlight with a wire

I bought the Sensei 310 for 39.99. At first, I was skeptical as I have used MANY gaming mice over the years from many manufacturers but never had I been able to purchase one so inexpensively. But I have been very happily surprised at how well this mouse both functions and feels. So much so that I am now considering the SteelSeries keyboard and headset, but onto the review. It is a true ambidextrous mouse with thumb buttons on both sides and textured rubber grip below them. Whether your grip is flat or claw this mouse has a good hand feel and remains comfortbale even after hours of gameplay. It is a lightweight mouse and wrist or arm aiming will not fatigue you. The mouse is made of high-quality materials, it doesnt feel cheap in your hand. The mouse buttons and scroll wheel both have a good tactile feel. Download the latest SteelSeries Engine and you have a low impact utility to fine tune the details and lighting. There are 2 available DPI settings that can be swapped from the small button below the mouse wheel. It is conveniently placed to be easy to swap but not in the way where you might hit it on accident.

I have enjoyed using this mouse. It is relatively quiet and rubber sides are easy to grip. I use it for non-competitive gaming and have no problems with it. The mouse is plenty sensitive, but probably not sensitive enough for competitive FPS gamers. Recommended otherwise.

The quality isnt the issue. Thats great without question. The only gripe is the right side of the mouse has an uncomfortable place for your fingers to lay. For me at least it forces my two fingers on that side to be half on half off the mouse.

I really want to love this mouse, but I cant. It is pretty ergonomic and all the extra programmable buttons are solid, but the scroll wheel, oh the scroll wheel is atrocious. After I replaced it thinking it was defective the new mouse had the same annoyances. The tactility between each scroll is a bit too much, but the real problem is that it is unpredictable. Scrolling down isnt too bad but scrolling up is AWFUL. When you scroll up it doesnt always stop and rest before each notch, instead it gets stuck in between notches. Say you are scrolling real fast up the page, when you get to the top and let go of the scroll wheel it sometimes gets stuck in the middle and it is extremely unsatisfying and you always feel the need to scroll farther than you need to so it wont rest there. I find myself constantly resorting to other methods of scrolling. Middle click, page up, page down, and arrow keys. It wouldnt be nearly as bad if it happened when every time, but it is completely random when it happens. I dont recommend it if this would bother you.
