CONCLUSION

   Since I used both the original SENSEI and its successor the SENSEI MLG for a long time (I still have them somewhere) I was very eager to test the SENSEI 310 out which is also why I did for over a month (primarily with games like World Of Warships, World Of Tanks and Star Citizen). Personally I don’t think that SteelSeries managed to “copy” the shape of the original so the SENSEI 310 didn’t feel just as good in terms of grip but it does come quite close and it so it took me less than a couple of hours to get used to it (unfortunately it's not as heavy as i'd like it to be - even 10g more would suffice). Just like with the RIVAL 600 and 310 the very fast and accurate TrueMove3 optical sensor works like a charm (if you don’t like the zero acceleration feature you can always change that from within the Engine 3 software) and we still consider it to be one of the top 3 in the market today (not surprising all are made by Pixart). The 2-zone RGB lighting system is a bit limited so if you want to get your hands on an impressive looking mouse the SENSEI 310 is not it (2 zones are plenty for me however).

   The SENSEI 310 has been around a few months already and so it currently retails for just USD53.30 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 61Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). Just for the record this price tag is much less than what even the original SENSEI retailed for at launch so we think it’s more than just fair for what you’re getting. At the end of the day in a market filled with high-performance gaming mice by a large number of manufacturers the new SENSEI 310 may not feel as impressive as the original but it’s just as good and for that it certainly deserves our Golden Award.
