SteelSeries Sensei Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2014-07-02

Powered by the Pixart ADNS-9800, the Sensei Wireless mouse from SteelSeries is feature-packed and comes with a solid and professional-looking charging dock, which also acts as a wireless station.

Through the pre-programmed profiles, we can choose High-Performance mode, Balance mode, Power Saver Mode or Custom Mode:

 

 

 

Further down, we will be able to adjust the Acceleration, Deceleration, Lift Distance:
