SteelSeries Sensei [RAW] Gaming Mouse Review

SteelSeries unleashed its Sensei in 2011; one year later, the revamped Sensei [RAW] joins its ever-growing gamer-oriented line. Join us as we see whether or not the newest model's "less is more" approach is enough to merit its celebrated predecessor's...

I'll mince no more words and just say things as simply as I can: The Sensei [RAW] is now my favorite mouse. This baby is a keeper.

SteelSeries Sensei [RAW] gaming mouse

A familiar mouse experience with a professional gaming focus

Comfortable symmetrical design that is both light and solid ; Customisable accuracy on the fly via a dedicated button

Lacks coloured LED and physical custimisations ; Side buttons are not that useful and occasionally get in the way

SteelSeries Sensei [RAW] is a simple looking yet highly practical mouse well suited for gaming and non-gaming use. However, gamers that want more bells and whistles in a mouse will likely look elsewhere.

SteelSeries Sensei [RAW] Frost Blue Edition Review

Today we will be taking a look at the SteelSeries Sensei Frost Blue Edition. Like the Apex that we reviewed a short while ago, this is a stripped down version of the original Sensei. As such, it doe...

Excellent tracking performance ; SteelSeries Engine support ; Competitively priced ; Ambidextrous design

Glossy finish does not work well for grip ; Some minor angle prediction at lower CPI settings ; Placement of CPI button is not ideal

KitGuru says: Solid performance with a reasonable price tag. However, the glossy finish will not appeal to everyone.

Review: Steelseries Sensei [RAW] Frost Blue

Steelseries was kind enough to send a sample of their [RAW] version of the popular Sensei mouse, the Frost Blue edition. Over the course of the review we will be taking a look at everything this mouse has to offer.

Great performance ; Tracks on glass ; Well made ; Good cost

Coating gets dirty ; Software uses large amounts of RAM

Meeting with Steelseries at CES we briefly spoke about their [RAW] series of products. Basically they are cut down versions of their high-end expensive products. Instead of cutting performance, all the performance parts and some of the not so necessary...

SteelSeries Sensei Raw Review

We gave the SteelSeries Sensei our highest award when it debuted. Can the RAW edition gaming mouse follow in its footsteps or fall short of victory?

Sleek, ambidextrous design ; Customisable features ; Rubberised texture ; Macro functionality ; Good DPI range (if somewhat limited in choice) ; Same DNA has the original Sensei ; Available in Rubber or Gloss coating

No colour customisation

Two of the best ever gaming mice spring to mind are the Microsoft Intellimouse and the Logitech MX518. Both mice were fairly neutral in design, certainly not as sculpted as the equally popular Razer products yet their simplicity allows them to go down...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Fine mouse. Not as great for a long term mouse

The upticks for the scroll wheel are massive dealbreakers for anyone who use this mouse. (The buttons can be as well, depending if you tend to play fps games, or just don't like them.) It's a darn shame too since this mouse is nearly perfect in terms...

Rubber finish is really nice and keeps grip LED looks nice, and is adjustable Laser technology feels accurate Braided cord is super nice. Kept this mouse from seeing damage for many years to come. Not too expensive for it's quality

After a while the scroll wheel registers upticks while scrolling down. This hurts a lot, but appears to be a common problem. Laser functionality a bit outdated. Rubber finish began to tear after years of use. (Not abuse) Extra buttons get in the way....
