Reddit reviews SteelSeries Sensei Laser Gaming Mouse RAW - Rubberized Black

This is because most 'office' mice have 400dpi sensors. In order to be able to use these windows settings and yet have the mouse be sensitive enough to be used comfortably, you need a higher dpi mouse. Most "gaming grade" mice, even on the cheaper end, have different dpi steps that range from 400 to 4000(and uselessly beyond - hooray marketing!) to allow you to adjust the "speed" of your cursor on the hardware end, while still keeping the precision of 1:1 pixel mapping in windows via the settings I mentioned earlier.


If you'd like such a mouse at a relatively inexpensive price, steelseries and logitech make some not-so-bad mice that wouldn't look so out of place in an office.

TL;DR: turn off enhanced precision, set windows to 6/11 sensitivity to get 1:1 pixel mapping, adjust the mouse dpi to how fast you want it, never skip pixels again.

Not much of a fan of SteelSeries these days but a few years ago I liked my Sensei RAW. Also (very similar to the Sensei RAW) I find the DM1 FPS to be pretty sweet.

Why on earth would you sell a used mouse for over asking price of new? Hehe xd

It's your mouse, I used to have the same problem with a cheap mouse, to be fair if you want to solve the problem you're going to have to get a good mouse. I recommend the Steelseries Sensei Raw if you're looking for a budget mouse that preforms very well.

The diablo 3 mouse was a version of the steelseries sensei. A regular steelseries sensei will be basically identical other than the different coating. A steelseries sensei RAW is again identical (with a more similar coating this time) however the dpi can only be set to multiples of 90. Both of those mice are very very similar to the diablo 3 mouse.

for those who don't want a mouse that looks like a piece of deconstructivist architecture try steel series sensei raw

Not sure what country you're in but doing a google conversion for Euros to USD I'm seeing a couple of mice that are in the $45 price range. Look at the bodies of these and see if any will meet what you're looking for in terms of grip.

Logitech G302 Daedalus Prime Moba

Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury

SteelSeries Rival 100

SteelSeries Sensei

CoolerMaster Storm Mizer

Corsair m45


Steelseries sensei


Steelseries rival


Razer deathadder

Roccat kone pure

Logitech g502

These are pretty good, in order of increasing price. I use the m45 myself because it was cheap and has a flawless sensor. All of them are decent quality 5 button mice.

Here are some good ambidextrous mice:

• Zowie FK1 (or any other Zowie mouse)
  
  
• Razer Taipan
  
  
• Razer Abyssus
  
  
• SteelSeries Sensei
  
  
• Logitech g303
  
  
• Mionix Avior 7000
  
  Ideally you'll want an optical mouse as opposed to a laser one, with a respected sensor like the 3310.

I wanted to buy a Zowie after reading this subredit, but they seem to be out of stock on Amazon and I will have one imported from Canada (a friend lives there and another friend will visit him, so he will buy it for me). The bad thing is I dont have much time to waste. As my friend will be coming back from Canada around June the 20th.


So, I have some options that are currently available on Amazon:

• Rival 300
  
  
• Rival 700 (currently out of stock, might keep an eye on it every day to see if its on stock again, if it is really worh it)
  
  
• SteelSeries Sensei (https://www.amazon.ca/SteelSeries-Sensei-Laser-Gaming-Rubberized/dp/B007N6HS3G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1464305270&sr=8-2&keywords=steelseries+mouse)
  
  
• Roccat Kone Pure Military
  
  
• M65 RGB PRO
  
  
• G502
  
  
  Ps: I mainly play Smite, so I dunno what would be the best option. Despite Smite being a MOBA, it requires a lot of skillshot, so maybe an FPS mouse would suit me better than a regular MOBA mouse (when I play, I only use left and right click on the mouse. The scroll wheel only when I'm in the item store)
  
  Thanks for reading.
  
  
  Edit: formatting is hard

I use symmetrical mice too, mostly for gaming (CS:GO). Currently on a Steelseries sensei rubberized. It's good because the side buttons are also on both sides of the mouse.

You and I are alike, here's my mouse: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007N6HS3G?keywords=steelseries%20sensei&qid=1453182887&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

I regret getting the rubberized black because it'll show any kind of perspiration from my hand, but I love the design. Customizable DPI in increments of 90 up to 5670, you can turn off the leds, has a dpi switch and only 4 extra customizable buttons. The software that steelseries makes for it is pretty nice too. You don't need to run it at boot and I'd avoid running it often because it's always trying to update..

I am using the Steelseries Sensei, which is basically an exact replica of the MS Intellimouse, but with much improved technology at an IMHO fair price of 44.99
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007N6HS3G/

It's a SteelSeries Sensei Raw. Black colour. Same as this one.
How about £28?

I tried it and it is really too big for me. If palm on my hand on the mouse, the hump is too high and it makes me feel really inconfortable (my arm muscle's are working hard to hand it, thats bad). While the ZA 12 was too small to palm perfectly (it also gave me a lot of pain, more than the za 11).
I tried ZA-11 and ZA-12 and they are not made for me. The SteelSerie Laser Sensei Raw (images of dimensions : https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-videogames/2011/dp/B007N6HS3G/image4._V145389784_.jpg) stayed the better to play long time.
what i can say about the sensei raw is that it is a little too short (my two right figners can't be perfectly rested on the side when handing it hard), and that's their somehow something that make it not the best to wrist movements (although wrist movements are possible), I think because of it's size and shape.
I'll give it a try to the EC1A, who seems to be used by pro fps players. I don't know if it will fit as the hump is higher than the ZA11 but also it's a bit more further on the mouse.
If it's not ok, I guess i'll give a try to the FK1 or FK1+.
I hope I'll be able to find a good mouse and play again! I tried quickly the death adder chroma today, it seems good, althoug again it could be a little bit longer to be able ro make my finger rests perfectly on the side.

I hope the best for you. If you need to vent let me know. Strangers can be the best listeners.

The Mouse is a SteelSeries Sensei RAW. Not the most expensive or fancy, but I love it so much.

SteelSeries Sensei Laser Gaming Mouse RAW - Rubberized Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007N6HS3G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_nQyUAb19DCTD1

The Steel Series Sensei (RAW) is available at Amazon for < $38 and free shipping. Are you flexible on price? And do you have more pictures / know the dimensions? Amazon has it listed as ~2" x ~6" x ~7", but that sounds like box dimensions to me.

I use this

I love it. I've had it for a year now and it's both left and right handed. No fancy colors or anything. Does have the led lighting up the logo.

CM Storm Quickfire TK - It is mechanical, it sounds great and is compact if you don't have a lot of space on your desk (like me).
Steelseries Sensei Raw Rubberised - it is pretty cheap and can be used by left and right hand users.#

https://www.amazon.co.uk/CM-Storm-QuickFire-TK-Mechanical/dp/B00AOIRCI6?th=1

A few years ago I upgraded to the Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Tactile High-Speed Keys and the SteelSeries Sensei Laser Gaming Mouse in hopes of getting better. Played a bunch of Battlefield 4 on it, was ok. But when I got BF4 on sale for the Xbox later... man it was seriously night and day how much better I was with a controller.

Funny thing is, I'm really good at World of Warcraft PvP with his keyboard mouse set up. But when you think about it, you have sticky target. You don't aim, all you have to do is move around. That helped me figure out what I can't get down in FPS, the combination of moving AND aiming!

I'm a straight up weirdo! Haha.

I agree with that, but a ton of others s s also look normal. I like it. You don't have to.

Amazon has a lot of refurbed steelseries mouses for good prices. https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Sensei-Laser-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B007N6HS3G/ref=sr_1_3

I've been using this for the past 1.5 years and its still working like the day I got it and showing few signs of aesthetic wear and tear despite being taken to and from school in my bag on average about 3 days a week since then, along with the normal usage and me being particularly clumsy

Well, at that range you have a few options.

Of course, as I use steelseries myself, I would recommend something along the lines of a Steelseries Rival 300 which is on sale on Amazon right now for 44.95$.

If you want something a little cheaper, whilst still maintaining a good quality, I recommend you take a look at the Rival 100 from steelseries, which is currently 39.99.

If you feel like going for the more low(ish) approach, I would say the Sensei Laser Mouse, though it looks small and kinda uncomfy, if you have big hands(like me), but it is only 36.88 at the moment. :D

Um:

That is a Steelseries Sensei [RAW] with rubberized finish, like this one here

I love my SteelSeries.

As a fellow lefty, I highly recommend the SteelSeries Sensei. It has additional buttons on the left and right of the mouse and has a symmetrical design that appeases both types of hands. I've used mine for close to two years and have loved, and my girlfriend has owned hers for half a year and loves hers as well.

The Sensei Raw is less than $40 on amazon, I have no idea how much shipping will cost (if it even costs anything)

I would recommend going to your local computer store/Frys electronics/whatever that has gaming mice and trying to find something that is comfortable for you.

League of legends does not require more than a 3 button mouse in any way shape or form (most pros dont use mouse buttons or change keybindings in any significant way aside from setting dumb cast to shift + qwer)

Essentially, this means that getting a mouse that you can use comfortably, which has no built in acceleration etc. is more important than having 60000 buttons.

These are my favorite mice

Just go with Ramzinho suggestion as it's the best (you should try out some mice for yourself, see which one fits your hand and your grip better, only you can do that).

But as you asked for a rundown of mice, here's my experience:

A4Tech AK47

PROS

• Really cheap
  
• Solid
  
• ambidextrous
  
• Can select out of a few DPI settings
  
  CONS
  
  
• No additional buttons (thumb or otherwise) except for the DPI switch.
  
• Kinda flat
  
• Ugly design
  
  My first "gaming" mouse, I had no money left after building my computer so I went for this one. It's good for a starting mouse, but low end and the missing thumb buttons are a big turn off.
  
  Logitech G700
  
  PROS
  
  
• Logitech freeroll mousewheel
  
• A LOT OF BUTTONS
  
• Polling Rate and DPI settings
  
  CONS
  
  
• Heavy
  
• The charging cable is super hard to move and you are required to use it at times since the mouse battery is insanely ridicule. I mean it lasts only a few hours on a full charge...
  
• Battery is shit
  
• Mousewheel quality is shit. Broke 2 mice in a month.
  
• Kinda weird grip on the mouse, not really comfortable.
  
• Logitech gaming software
  
• Only for right handed people
  
  This mouse is huge, has a lot of features, a lot of buttons, and a lot of flaws. Not recommanded for fast paced gaming because of the short battery duration or heavy ass charging cable.
  
  Razer DeathAdder
  
  PROS
  
  
• Not really expensive in the US (really expensive everywhere else tho)
  
• Best form factor for a lot of people (subjective)
  
• Nice and big thumb buttons
  
• Nice and satisfactory click when pressing buttons
  
• Available for both right and left handed persons
  
• DPI and polling rate settings
  
• Really low activation point (<3mm) so you won't make huge weird movements if you're one of those that lift their mouse a lot.
  
• Can save profiles
  
  CONS
  
  
• Razer Quality (broke 3 over a total timespan of 2 years)
  
• Razer Gaming Software
  
  One of the best mice I used overall, I'll still be using one if they weren't so cheaply made and broke so much.
  
  Steelseries Sensei Raw Rubber
  
  PROS
  
  
• Ambidextrous
  
• Good form factor if you have big hands
  
• DPI and polling rate settings
  
• Low activation point
  
  CONS
  
  
• Issues with the mousewheel
  
  A good mouse overall, but kinda bland compared to others, as in not really providing good value for the money. Also has mousewheel issues, which is what made me switch to something else. The issue appeared after a good 7 or 8 months, but was really fucking with me after a while. Basically it would go randomly up when you scrolled down, and vice versa.
  
  Zowie FK2
  
  PROS
  
  
• NO DRIVER!!!
  
• Ambidextrous
  
• DPI and polling rate settings (you can't precisely set your DPI, but you have 4 settings to switch from a button)
  
• Really precise
  
• Really low activation point (almost on par with razer's deathadder on a razer goliathus mat)
  
• Really solid build
  
• discreet mouse if you're not into the usual gaming gear design
  
  CONS
  
  
• Not braided cable (my cat chewed the cable off of my first FK2 :()
  
• kinda expensive for the amount of goodies it carries
  
• The DPI button is located below the mouse, so it's not practical if you like to switch on the fly during gameplay.
  
  The mouse I'm currently using. It comes close second to Razer in terms of how comfortable it is for me. It's light years ahead in terms of quality. As you probably remarked, I'm not really taking care of my mice (thanks CS), but this one is indestructible. No driver bullshit, but that means no precise DPI settings (you've got 4: 400, 800, 1600 and 3200), and no profiles but that really isn't an issue. Large Teflon pads, it glides really nicely on my goliathus control mat, almost as well as the deathadder. Dunno what else to say, apart that I'm currently happy with it even though I long for the day someone makes a solid deathadder. I'm even using the one my cat chewed the cable off of at work, with a bit of tape it's working fine as long as I don't move the cable too much.
  
  edit: who puts an "s" at the end of mice?

The one I use is the Steelseries Sensei which seems like a reliable, nice mouse. https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Sensei-Laser-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B007N6HS3G

>3200dpi vs 16000

DPI is not everything. In most use cases it does not even make sense to have so much DPI. If you have a multi-monitor setup or an ultrawide gaming rig it makes sense to have a higher sensitivity because it will take the whole table to move from one side of the screen to other. Also, by rule of thumb, if you use a higher sensitivity you are sacrificing speed for accuracy. Depends on what you want.

I used to play CS:GO with a dpi setting of 400 and in-game sensitivity of 1 or 1.2.

>no led vs 16.8M croma color lightings

Don't care.

>plain plastic vs rubber side grips

This may be a point but rubber also makes your hand sweat a lot. Take it from me, I own this mouse

I use this one, it's not so fancy but i think it suits for long gaming sessions and is not too heavy.

This is what I use. It works well, has 4 extra buttons, two on each side and isn't overly flashy. You can create two sensitivity profiles that you can change on the fly which is nice if you prefer varying sensitivity for different types of games. It won't break the bank either.
