SteelSeries Sensei 310

SteelSeries Sensei 310 Optical Mouse

When I was little, my parents told me to take piano lessons. As my mom was more than competent to teach me piano, I did not really have to go far to find someone outside. To be honest, I really struggled with it. I had issues with rhythm, coordinating my two hands, and reading music quickly.

SteelSeries Sensei 310

With these caveats noted, the Sensei 310 is a strong entry in the market for high-end optical gaming mice. It's an ambidextrous one, and thus not optimized for ergonomics with a horizontal arch, and the scroll wheel is too far forward for your typical hand-unless you prefer a claw grip.

SteelSeries Sensei 310 Review

We like the guts and the ambidextrous design of the Sensei 310, but a few advances in the configuration software would make this mouse something really special. Some manufacturers work the concept of branding very carefully, with every product they release in a family maintaining evidence of physical continuity with its ancestors. Nearly all of the late Mad Catz's mice, for example, looked like mechas designed by Japanese animators. All of Samsung's Xpress consumer printers, like portable toasters that have evolved feet over time to chase smaller mammalian prey. If you liked the style of one Mad Catz RAT or Xpress printer you'd previously owned, chances are you'd feel reassured looking at others in the same lineage for potential purchases in the future. It felt like coming home. That's what branding is all about. Some companies, however, forego branding altogether—and yet a third group uses it as a catch-all. SteelSeries' Sensei mice would appear to fall into this last category. Among them are the Sensei 310 ($59.99) A glance at several products in the Sensei line—the original Sensei of 2011, the Sensei [RAW] of 2013, and the Sensei Wire...

So far so good but we will see how long it lasts

So far so good. I really like the feel of this mouse, it seems to fit my larger hands better than my previous mouse which was a RAZR . Unfortunately the most important thing for me is how long it will last and I've only had it for a month so far so I cannot give it 5 stars.

Great for short term; not so much for long term

For the first few months or so I've had no problems whatsoever but, now that it's seen a fair bit of use the rubber sides are barely being held on by the glue, and don't even get me started on trying to clean them without ripping them off on accident. The mouse wheel isn't as much of a worry as there's no chance of it coming out while cleaning it. The whole cleaning issue wouldn't exist if the sides had just been made as one part with the rest of the mouse. It's anybody's gu­ess why the mouse was made with removable sides, too late to complain now though. In conclusion, buy it if you want something to use in the meantime while you spend on other more important parts, but if you want something for the long term then I'd recommend spending an extra $30-$40.

SteelSeries Rival 310 Trumove3 Optical Gaming Mouse Review

The SteelSeries Rival 310 Optical Gaming Mouse is available from most of the big name retailers already. Of course, you can also order it directly from SteelSeries. Currently, the mouse is a very reasonable £59.99 , and we think that's fantastic value for money.

SteelSeries Rival 310 and Sensei 310

Okay so at the end of the day I have written a LOT more about the Sensei 310 and Rival 310 than I normally do. Part of that is because both mice have made a lot of changes though I did also spend more time than normal because of how familiar I am with the old Sensei and I had extremely high...

Steelseries 310 Rival and Sensei Review

If you are determined to reach the peak of your potential performance the importance of an accurate sensor cannot be overstated. There is little use in you developing insane muscle memory if your sensor is neither consistent in its response nor tracking your movements accurately.
