The left and right sides of the mouse are identical and both feature a pair of navigation buttons and a grey, lightly textured plastic that will aid with grip. The top shell of the mouse is made finish with a super smooth gloss white that is as slippery as ice, its also quite elongated and that should allow for a comfortable resting position for those who have bigger hands, like myself. The box features a fold out panel that gives you a nice little marketing run down about the brand and product, but most importantly we get a real look at the mouse and its already clear by this point that the picture on the front of the box isn’t doing it justice, this thing looks fantastic.
Powered by the SteelSeries Engine software suite, the mouse can be configured to meet your exact specifications including CPI, DCPI, lift distance, and button layout with intuitive drag and drop functionality.” – SteelseriesĪ box may just be a box, but Steelseries have take that little bit of extra care with their product design and packaging, the box features a really nice picture of the mouse as well as all the usual branding and styling that you would associate with Steelseries. “Based off the most award-winning gaming mouse in history, the SteelSeries Sensei Frost Blue is the pure and essential performance edition of the most award-winning, critically acclaimed gaming mouse in history.
The Sensei has a competent feature set and with full ambidextrous design, 7 full programmable buttons, three zone lighting and no doubt a few other tricks up its sleeve, I can’t wait to get this fired up in a few games. The Sensei mouse is an ambidextrous mouse, perfectly suited to both left and right handed use, a difficult area to get right when it comes to ergonomics as just making the mouse symmetrical can often lead to a less than favourable hand position for both sides, but given their industry experience, I’m sure Steelseries know a few things about balancing ergonomics by now. However, the edition that I’ll be taking a look at today is the Sensei Frost Blue Edition, a special limited edition colour scheme with icy blue LED lighting. So I feel somewhat privileged today to have the opportunity to play around with their ever popular Sensei range, one of the companies most versatile and successful product ranges that has seen numerous iterations since its release. Steelseries have one of the most loyal followings in the gaming peripheral business, they’re one of the names that are synonymous with quality, performance and they’re well known to be a popular choice on and off of the eSports scene.
