> 3 daySensei 310 is an excellent ambi mouse. Love the silicone side grips, probably one of the most comfortable mice Ive used so far. Im 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 thats 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. Im sure it will be good for web surfing and document browsing but for gaming functionality a little more resistance wouldve 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 doesnt 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).

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayThis is my first left handed mouse. in the past, the only left handed mice i could find and like 12 buttons and were for hardcore gamers. I felt guilty ordering it, because my old mouse, although showing wear and tear, still worked. Boy am i glad I went for it. It is light, very precise, the software for it is actually good which I cannot say about R---r or L-----ch or any of the cheap CN knockoffs ive gotten. Right out of the box, the polling rate and DPI settings are exactly what I use, they know their gamer audience. The biggest surprise tho was the simple rubber-ish grip on both sides - I am more of a claw user and didnt realize how much energy I was putting into just moving my old slick plastic mouse. Not only is it more snappy and accurate to use, it is FAR less fatiguing! I am o glad I took a chance on SteelSeries!

> 3 dayThis is probably one of the best valued mouses I have ever used. Of course the $200 Logitech mouse or whatever is gonna feel better and probably perform better, but who wants to spend that kind of money? For $50, you cant go wrong with this mouse. When I first got it I had been dealing with problems with other mice, such as the scroll wheel not working or the mouse entirely just disconnecting mid-use. When I got this I was astounded by the build quality and feel of the mouse. Its basic. It feels nice. Its not overly-complicated. You get the mouse, with some other cool features, and its plug-and-play. You can download the SteelSeries engine from their website to customize the mouse even more, which is what I did. You can adjust the RGB lighting on the base of the mouse as well as behind the scroll wheel. You can change the DPI settings, so you can have a normal setting and you can have a ridiculous setting at 12000 DPI to spazz out in games and go wild. This mouse is fully customizable, and you can even assign different keypresses with the extra side buttons on the mouse. Overall, during my 1.5~ years of owning this mouse have been great. I havent had a problem since I opened the box and its seamless getting my actions from my mouse to the game. If your budget is like $50, look no further than to get this masterpiece. #notsponsored

> 3 dayFor this mouse the software is where it fails for me. The dpi settings dont seem to stick often. And the lighting doesnt change with the software. Besides those two issues. The mouse works fine. I have smaller hands and thinner fingers and the size is perfect for me. The grip on the sides is something to get used too. Its just a odd texture in my opinion. But it works and is perfectly fine for gaming and general use. Worth it if you dont mind the software

> 3 dayI dont play games daily, just need a quality mouse with high pointer precision AND ambidextrous design. I have to swtich hand as years of using mouse on right arm is causing RSI on every joints in the arm, the worst is shoulder. Only have it for a few hours, construction is good, at least comparable to Logitech G402. Side buttons are not on the same level as the mains though. All buttons are programmable, but I could only use the preset command, eg, when trying to record ALT+F4 as key setting, it immediately close. Logitech and Microsoft can intercept and record this command. It does have Windows preset to close application but direct keyboard command has higher priority than OSs. The shape is like the early Microsoft Intellimouse Optical Mouse, a mouse(multiple units) I used for nearly 10 years until it get phase out. I heard the original Sensei was made to imitate the Intellimouse Optical Mouse. Being the user for nearly 10 years, I find the Sensei 310 to be wider but lower in height. Would have prefer the originals shape as it would be more comfortable for web browsing and leisure uses with palm grip. If you are looking for ambidextrous mouse with sensible price for everyday uses and casual gaming, this is highly recommended.

> 3 dayI have had this mouse for three months now. I have not had any issues at all with it. I play on 800 dpi normally and 600 for sniping. I can use the software to set it so that I only have those two settings to switch between. Very convenient. I find it to be a very precise mouse with a weight that I am comfortable with. Might be a bit heavy for some people though. I have xl-2xl size hands depending on the glove, so pretty much every mouse is too small for my had. But this is at least wide enough to be comfortable. My middle finger is about an inch past the front of the mouse though lol I am using a steel series QcK medium mouse pad which is another good value.

Greater than one weekComing from the original, and then to the rival which is a bit heavier, I needed another light feeling mouse for mobas and shooters. I prefer my rival 700 for mmos and the relaxed palm grip those games allow you to have. The weight of a mouse in an mmo never matter much for me. Now when we go to league or pubg, I can not use that rival. My hand is constantly going back and forth with large arm movements due to low sensitivity, and my grip actually changes(shooters). I noticed the back of the mouse dragging, I wouldnt get a full lift with the rival. I purchased this in hopes it would solve my problem of weight on my other mouse, and it did just that. Back were the days of my speedy, smooth gliding sensei and I couldnt be happier. Keep in mind the weight is just right for me and may differ depending on your own preference. One thing I would note is that the mouse clicks didnt feel as premium as the rival, but I suppose that could come down to preference as well. I suggest watching some YouTube videos on grip type for your hand length. A lot of content creators have ideal hand measurements for specific mice. Theres a whole science behind mice and keyboards. Best to get started more sooner than later.

> 3 dayI have been using this mouse for about a year, Ill say that its a solid mouse for the most part. There have been no issues with tracking and the buttons feel responsive; the hardware seems good for the most part. The lighting is vibrant in color and bright, if you care about that stuff. Its shape is a little awkward on the right side and it took some adjustment to get a comfortable grip on it, but that will probably differ case by case. I dont, however, feel comfortable recommending it due to a couple nagging quality issues. Maybe I just got unlucky with mine, but Ive also used a Rival 100 and that mouse didnt last longer than a year. I dont beat my mice up or swing them over my head by the cord so Im starting to think Steel Series just doesnt make hardware that lasts. My particular issues were: 1) Upon first picking up the mouse the left mouse click seemed slightly looser than the right; didnt think too much of it but later on the mouse developed an issue with double clicking on a single button press. It doesnt seem like a driver issue, and I have no idea if its related to the loose nature of the button, but it seems like an issue with the button hardware. 2) One of the grippy side pads was glued poorly. It shifted a lot within the first couple months and eventually lost its bond with the mouse plastic. I dont know what kind of glue is used to attach the two but its a perpetual wet, sticky mess. The glue gunk gets pushed out of the cavity by the shifting of the pad and gums up the bottom of the mouse and my hand. In the end the pad just refused to stay in place so I removed it and wiped off all the glue. To the mouses credit it isnt that uncomfortable to hold without the grip. I think I will avoid mice with this sort of silicone padding in the future - it doesnt offer that much comfort and in this case its just a hassle.

> 3 dayGood mouse to use for lefties, programmable in all sorts of ways fairly eaily. HOWEVER broke after 13 months. Reverting to my 5 yr old Logitec G3. Customer service said to do a reinstall (i did) but no dice. Update: Excellent customer service, they replaced the Mouse even if it was 1 month over warranty periode. Glad they did, I am better in CS GO with this mouse.
