SteelSeries Sensei 310 Gaming Mouse - 12,000 CPI TrueMove3 Optical Sensor - Ambidextrous Design - Split-Trigger Buttons - RGB Lighting, Black

The mouse is probably my favorite mouse I've used out of several Razer, Corsair, and Logitech mice (honorable mention to the Corsair M65). The rubber adhesive is defective; Steelseries support is the worst in the industry. The smooth rubber on the sides has a weak adhesive (it came off two Rival 600s in less than six months after purchase). Steelseries could theoretically just send a replacement part because the side pieces of the mouse come out to put weights in, but they don't have replacement parts so you have to send it to them first. br>br>The reason for two stars is because Steelseries has a history of quality control issues with mice, but more importantly, their support is probably the worst in the industry. What does it matter if Logitech mice break frequently if their customer service will send you a replacement right away? I spent two weeks submitting multiple RMA requests to Steelseries, and the end result was that I was given a $60 Steelseries store coupon (yes, the mouse is $80 on their store), and I have yet to receive a response as to why the coupon wasn't for the cost of the mouse replacement. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a replacement mouse without downgrading or paying out of pocket at this point. Sending it to their support was a big mistake!br>br>I recommend that everyone use their credit card warranties for all Steelseries products to avoid having to deal with their support. THE WORST SUPPORT IN THE INDUSTRY FOR A GREAT PRODUCT. br>br>If Steelseries is truly concerned about their customers, I'm happy to provide a copy of the correspondence.

The Fundamentalsbr>br>At the beginning of January, I purchased the Rival 310. My G403's mousewheel had lost some sensitivity, and the R310 met almost all of my requirements. A safe shape, a 3360 variant sensor, 50m omron switches, RGB, and a 3360 variant sensor Before I wrote this review, I used it for six days. My Nit- The following are some of my rambling thoughts. The Pros: br>br>The Pros: br>br>The Pros: br>b br>br> Despite its light weight, the mouse feels solid and not hollow. Regardless of grip type, the mouse was balanced in the hand; no "heavy butt" issues were encountered. br> There are a lot of clicks going on here. Resistance is higher than that of a G403, but lower than that of a Huano. br> The side buttons are among the best I've ever used - I liked that the middle click was one of the easiest to press in, as some mice's middle clicks are so stiff that they're useless. br> The scroll wheel has been described as "cheap" by some users; however, I disagree. There is no rattling or wobbling, and the tactility is excellent with only a small amount of resistance - As a result, it's suitable for both gaming and browsing. The subtle groove ledges flanking the scroll wheel are one of my favorite features of the mouse compared to the G403. I usually keep my fingers close to the scroll wheel, and that ledge felt just right. br> The mouse's plastic texture is good; it gives you a sense of the mouse, but it doesn't quite evoke a sense of "premium" as some of Corsair's products do. br> As expected, the sensor performs admirably; however, I wish it were positioned a little further forward. br> Lift off distance is short. br> The shape is extremely safe and comfortable to hold, especially in the palm of one's hand. It can also be used for fingertip and claw, but only if you have larger hands. Finally, but certainly not least, the software is FANTASTIC. I used to think Logitech was the gold standard, but now Steelseries is on my mind. Last time I checked, the Logitech G software was around 270MB in size, and it was clean, functional, and light. The Steelseries software was only 108MB in size and managed to be even more intuitive and feature-rich than Logitech's G403 software. Sensor surface tuning is something that the R310 lacks in comparison to many Logitech mice, but I never missed it. The Middling: br>br>The Middling: br>br>The Middling: br>br> br>br> The cord is the softest I've ever used, and kinks were easily worked out. When it comes into contact with soft mousepads, however, the cord's rubber is more "grabby" than most. (With a good bungee, this isn't an issue. ) )br> The primary clicks are tactile, but not quite light enough in my opinion to be considered truly "MMO spammable. " br> The DPI button is out of the way, but it's a little too far aft of the scroll to be useful for time-sensitive tasks. br> The mouse comes with everything you need and very little that you don't. Having said that, I'd have liked to see a "G-" equivalent. To add more possible macro functions, use the software's "Shift" option. The mouse isn't as suitable for productivity work as the G502 with all of its bells and whistles, but it's still adequate. The Drawbacks: br>br> br>br> The silicone sides have a slight mush to them, which is kind of disappointing. Despite the nice patterning, they don't feel very good. They can retain a small amount of heat and struggle to maintain grip when the ground becomes wet. I believe the option is appropriate for what it is intended for, and it SHOULD be fairly durable, but I am not 100% sure. I wish the sides and top were made of the same textured plastic. br> My copy had slight pretravel on the left click, as well as distinct differences in the sound and feel of the left and right clicks. After a few days, my copy developed a slight rattle on the aft thumb button as well. br> In comparison to the G403, the mouse is very long, but it is also wider and lower. If you have average or small hands, fingertipping the mouse will result in either clicking the primary buttons toward the back of the mouse (resulting in stiffer clicks) OR the butt of the mouse will constantly bump into your palm when looking/shooting down in-game. game. br> For me, using a claw grip meant reducing the amount of thumb surface area that touched the mouse, making it feel less controllable. My in- The game's performance remained excellent, but the mouse is clearly designed for palm and/or large hands. For me, it felt like a lot of mouse movement was wasted forward of the scroll and aft of the thumb, so I ended up clicking with the back of the scroll wheel. If the mouse kept its basic shape while shrinking in size, it would be a more versatile option for more people, but it would lose its awesomeness factor for big/palm types. br>br>Conclusion: br>br> br>br>Despite the dubious silicone choice, the mouse is fantastic in general and performs admirably. In my opinion, the second-tier option is the best. I've never seen software like this before. It's a simple recommendation for any grip style, with the caveat that your hand should be at least 18 inches long. The length of this item is 5cm. The mouse's unsuitably large size makes me sad because of its many positive qualities: (Nit-) (br>br>(br>br>(br>br>(br>b Grade of Noise:.

This mouse is fantastic right out of the box. The lack of braided cable was the only drawback. br>br>After a few months, I noticed some sticky substance near the side buttons and assumed it was soda or something else nasty. Then, about a week later, during gaming, the entire left rubber grip slipped off. After removing the grip and cleaning the glue, the body is now a gleaming smooth material with a slight dent (grip was supposed to fill in). The front right grip slipped off without warning about a week later. br>br>I inquired about purchasing new feet (I messed up cleaning them) and grips and received prompt and courteous service. Unfortunately, they would not be able to send me any until a month later, so they offered to begin an RMA process. I declined because the procedure would deprive me of a mouse. br>br>At this price point, I believe mice should last at least a year with no issues. I purchased it in March of this year, and the issues began in August/September of that year. Also, replacement parts should be available by now, but should I have to deal with gluing parts onto my mouse even if I buy a kit? Unless they start sending out replacement side weight covers, this mouse will need to be RMA'd every time the grips come off because it alters the mouse's overall feel. New Mouse - br>br> If you're having grip glue issues, Amazingbr>Mouse can help you. Cust Serv - Junkbr>Junkbr>Junkbr>Junkbr>Junkbr>J All is well here, responsive and quick. br>1 Star Rating - It's terrible to have problems with a high-end mouse after only a year, especially one that's so unusual.
