the sensei ten is still serious way of chiming in two very exciting mice
competition by bringing back the legendary sensei shape that first made
its appearance in 2009 and it's a great opportunity for them to revive a popular
shape and upgrade all the components on the inside so all the hardware is new
it's exactly what they did strangely to not following in the
footsteps of like the super lightweight bodies and open shell designs but holes
everywhere regardless let's gain
The Sound Blaster a 9 is a special kind of treat for audio enthusiasts with
their best emi shielding yet a fantastic DAC and swap hall opens plus a
well-designed breakout box that includes an XLR input your ears deserve the best
and perhaps your motherboard needs a friend check it out below alright so
first of all the ten is a $69 Mouse with a matte surface coating instead of the
metallic surface of the original sensei and it's a truly ambidextrous shape with
thumb buttons on each side so all the lefties will appreciate this but in this
space where you put sticky padding to like change the shape of the mouse to
contour to your hand what is still series doing different it's almost like
the sensei ten doesn't really have any bells and whistles it's not what I would
consider to be liked weight compared to the competition it's 92 grams without
the cable so I guess the G pro hero is the closest and price and weight the
shell also does not have any cutouts just plain matte black coating without
any color options although the surface does not scratch at all which is awesome
and the side texture I noticed is less rubbery than the top the cable is not
paracord like instead it's just simple rubber that is not very good at
releasing those kinks having played with the extra 5m4 or the Razer Viper you can
definitely notice the difference a good cable makes and heck even my three year
old rival 310 has a better cord which is softer than the sensei ten it is
disappointing because it's like $69 Mouse with a really poor cable not
acceptable and while the mouse feet are not fancy white PTFE the glide is still
pretty smooth so no complaints for me on that and the bottom of the mouse is also
slightly transparent kind of interesting as I haven't seen that before the shape
would accommodate all three grip styles and it's very comfy for my fingertip
grip it is slightly smaller than my model oh but it is very close in size to
the Razer Viper which by the way is only $10 more and is lighter with a better
cable and is also a truly ambidextrous body so the Thumba
are on both sides I actually prefer Viper shape over the sensei ten because
of those middle indentations whereas with the sensei ten the rear bump is a
bit more noticeable the scroll wheel is very low into the body I prefer this
approach with like middle click but the scroll steps are really light and soft
don't really feel the tactility behind them the DPI shift has up to 5 profiles
adjusted in 50 CPI increments with a corresponding blink behind the scroll
wheel which is awesome the opposite of thumb buttons are out of reach so you
won't accidentally press them while the primary clicks are mechanical switches
rated at 60 million clicks and I would consider them to be like semi crispy
take a listen and finally let's talk about that sensor still Siri says it's
their best sensor yet the true move Pro that goes up to 18,000 CPI with true
one-to-one tracking throughout the entire range it is different versus the
previous true move sensors because of what they call tilt tracking with the
true move pro from what I understand that means that if you place the mouse
down and it's not exactly flat and the slight angle the sensor will still track
accurately on any surface from my understanding in theory this is great
for people who play at lower dpi sensitivity and like to move your mouse
a lot and reposition the mouse in like your center comfortable position after
like a large flake and so when you place the mouse down it will still track
accurately even if the mouse is slightly angled when it comes down as for liftoff
distance it feels like it's under two millimeters so the same as the Razer
Viper but my model o has even lower lift off distance which I would consider to
be better and I'm kind of surprised that SteelSeries do not have a lift off
distance adjustment in the software there's still serious engine 3 by the
way is awesome you can remap all your buttons set your 5 CPI profiles adjust
the RGB illumination for the scroll wheel and the back logo and save all
those profiles to the mouse itself and that's for my gaming performance well it
wasn't anything spectacular because I haven't
they've been practicing too much but there are no flaws either the sensor is
great the mechanical switches are quality and the shape is fine plus the
92 gram body is just a reminder that not everyone wants to game with a 50 gram
Mouse but I will say that after having used like the mm 710 or the model or - I
do prefer a smaller Mouse like the G pro and the G 305 are really awesome - but
the sensei ten is a nice ambidextrous design however the Razer Viper is a more
appealing option to me as the shape fits me better and I was hoping for something
a bit more interesting from steel series but the sensei ten could just be a
placeholder until they launch something new
in the future that follows the trend of super lightweight and potentially holes
in the body to reveal whatever's inside I don't know we'll see all right guys
