SteelSeries Sensei Fnatic review.

A mouse that has 16.8 million different LED colors for 3 different parts, has its own minicomputer that allows you to carry your preferences on-the-go and allows you to upload custom bitamps to customize it even more?  That’s the SteelSeries Sensei Fnatic mouse for you.

This mouse is great. It does have a rather dull shape, but that’s because it’s a well balanced ambidextrous mouse that gives you the exact same access to the same buttons regardless of whether you’re a righty, or of the rare kind; a lefty.

The Sensei has 7 buttons (with an 8^th to access the on-board computer and screen) and specs as follows.

·                    -DPI of up to 5,700 with room for 2xDPI of 11,400.

·                   -12,000 FPS

·                   -150+ IPS

·                   -30G acceleration

·                   -16 bit true Sensor data path

·                    -Lift distance of 1-5mm

 

The Sensei is a neat piece of technology. The features that really make this mouse shine are the SteelSeries Exactlift, SteelSeries Exactaccel, SteelSeries Exactaim and the SteelSeries Freemove adjustments that can be played with to customize everything from the DPI with the Exactlens, how high you are able to lift the mouse off of the pad before it stops moving the cursor on the screen (Exactlift), as well as the amount of path correction or angle snapping of the mouse. Oh and did I forget to mention? As if all that wasn’t enough, it allows you to adjust the accelerometers in the mouse to give you more accuracy by lowering the mouse sensitivity as you decrease the movement speed, and allows the mouse to move faster as you accelerate the speed of the movement. (Nice help when you’re trying to get those long distance headshots just right, or pan the camera quickly while in a tricky HC raid.)

The SteelSeries Engine is really neat too. It gives you a very comprehensible look at what everything in the mouse does and what it’s for. –perfect for people who don’t know the entire tech -talk we now have. The program even comes with its own ‘Statistics’ section, to allow people to measure their APM!

I’ll be honest, I’m delighted with this Sensei mouse, it’s held up well so far –been bashing it for quite a while now, and it’s holding up just right. The colors are simply splendid, and the feeling you get from knowing how unique this mouse can get because of all customization it allows you to do is great.
