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

I really like how this feels in my hand. Usually, computer mice are too small for me, and they get lost in my hand, but this one fits my hand size. Its good for gaming since it has the standard two side buttons, plus a dpi button on the top. The software that comes with it is pretty neat, too, though I havent fully explored it. My only problem is that sometimes the left click will click twice when I only clicked once. Other than that, I have liked everything about this mouse. Including the mouse wheel, which I have had bad luck with mouse wheels in the past.

gonna get straight to the point here for context i play mostly fps games so my review is written specifically with fps games in mind pros: the shape is fantastic for claw and palm grippers very comfortable, build quality is good for me no double clicking issues,side buttons are very good especially for games that utilize them frequently very easy to reach and have satisfying enough clicks,the sensor is obviously very good along with pretty much all mice in this price point,rgb is nice enough if your into it theirs software you can download for some cool effects and dpi adjustment etc,scroll wheel is pretty average no complaints here. cons: the cable could definitely be better no connection issues but after using the model o or any braided cable this just feels lack luster definitely gets in the way once in a while even with a mouse bungee, weight not a con for all but for me its just a tad heavy i would recommend something a bit lighter if you havent tried a mouse under 70g you have to try one definitely helped me improve my flicks and speed, that is pretty much all the cons for me overall its a good mouse would like to see better mouse feet theyre not bad but would be nice to get some pure PTFE mouse feet glide is fine just not amazing. conclusion: great mouse for fps games if you want a mouse with a good shape and not too heavy although its not my absolute favorite it serves its purpose very well. definitely try a glorious model o or model d if you want something lighter tho GG.

According to Amazon, I bought this mouse June 24th, 2018. I checked in on the store page to see the price on June 21st 2020, because the scroll wheel on the one I bought is starting to act up (behaving erratically when I scroll up) and I liked the mouse so I wanted to buy another if the price is right. I think Ill probably buy another. Its good. I like it. Nothing lasts forever and Im not mad about spending $30-40 once every two years on a good mouse. Its either that or $80-100 once every four years on a very high end mouse, so whatever.

Disclaimer; Ive been using the mouse for a couple of weeks, the real test is how it works a year or two later. After multiple G403s with issues in various buttons, Ive decided to take a break from Logitech despite their good CS and wanted a mouse that would serve for no less than two years under consistent and frequent conditions. Compared to the G403 the scroll wheel is oddly placed further forward from the CPI button but you can get used to it. Both sides have side buttons which can be very useful for games or for the left handed such as myself. Ordinary desktop work feels personally best at around 1500 CPI which is handled easily. Its weight is light enough while remaining stable. Overall this mouse is up there with other performance mice and if youre looking to change to a different companys product line, the 310 is a good pick.

Great feeling mouse with awesome performance during use. However, the side grips are barely glued on and fell off over time. Trying to reattach them has been an exercise in frustration. I dont like having to replace a mouse that works fine just because they cheaped out on the adhesive.

I absolutely adore this mouse. I was skeptical about the triggers based on the screenshots, but they feel really nice. The sensor feels amazing and this is coming from a Razer Deathadder 2014 edition. The mouse is very light as well. I play all types of games with this mouse, but this mouse would definitely be most suited for first person shooters. The shape is very nice. One thing that could turn people off is the material of the device. To keep the device so light, Steelseries had to use a mostly plastic construction. As a result, this thing feels cheaply built. The plastic does feel nice though, its smooth on the top and has grippy rubber pads on the sides. It does not come with a gold plated USB unfortunately. While it doesnt do much, it does allow the port to last longer through multiple insertions since gold is malleable. The cable is also a light, thin non-braided cable. Its very weightless and it might not be for everyone, but I do not mind. Steelseries Engine seems to be decent software, you can adjust many settings for the mouse.

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.

The SteelSeries Rival 310 is the best mouse I have ever used. That simple. It is precise, light, ergonomic and with all the bells and whistles that will make this pointing device your best acquisition for general use, office work and gaming. I have used plenty of pointing devices throughout the years and I must say I always stayed on the budget mouse market (below ~$30). I thought spending $50 on a mouse was ridiculous, but how wrong I was. This thing looks sleek and performs like clockwork. I spent a couple of days looking at the current mouse market and the options are endless. I initially planned on purchasing a $30-ish replacement for my now dying Logitech M305 (very portable and affordable IMO), but I wanted to get a larger mouse that could be used for long periods of time without busting your carpal tunnel. Well, the Rival 310 has the perfect size for me, it is light as a feather and has eSports level of accuracy, which might sound overkill for many non-professional gamers and non-gamers alike. But using this mouse JUST on the Windows desktop already feels you are dealing with something different. The movement is fluid and precise, the two main buttons always respond great (a little bit on the noisy side though), the scrolling wheel is super smooth and the side buttons are large enough to use them with no problem. I am including a picture comparing the size of the Rival 310 with two other mice that I have at home (left to right): Logitech M305 (old faithful), Logitech M705 and the Rival 310. Did I also mention it has 6 customizable buttons (left click, right click, scroll wheel, middle button, two on the left side) and RGB lights? The SteelSeries Engine 3.0 software provides enough options to tune the mouse to your needs to the point that it is a little bit overwhelming. But once you get all those details ironed out, you are left with a great mouse that looks cool, performs great and will keep any other pointing device in the drawer for years to come.

What I love about the Sensei 310 is the shape that fits perfectly in my hand/grip and the silicone grips on the sides make it very comfortable to hold/grip and use for longer periods of time. The matte plastic texture for the body doesnt feel cheap at all and isnt slippery, which is what you would want for a good mouse. I dont know much about all the different sensors in mice, but it is advertised as having a very high-end (optical) sensor and it does feel very precise in games and the software (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) I use, so I definitely notice the quality! The mouse wheel is a little bit too stiff to press for my taste because I use it a lot in my games. Because of the way I hold my mouse the front side button is hard to reach and I basically have to move my whole hand to reach it. Kind of disappointing. (see last image) Pros: - Optical sensor - Great shape - Silicone grips on both sides - Doesnt feel cheap - Great durability - Very customizable lighting settings Cons: - Front side button kind of far away

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.
