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

Lots of reasons to like this mouse. Its sized well for larger hands, and is ergonomically satisfying. The build quality and button action/feedback are great. The sensor has been very reliable. I think the sensor tracks great when playing fast fps, my mechanical skills have increased with the purchase of the 310. So far my favorite part of this mouse is the sensor reliability, it has never lost its mind and swung my view to the sky and stuck me there when putting the mouse through its paces, like in close quarter combat. Other mice failed in those situations, this one never has, even when Ive fooled around and tried to make it fail. Im pleased with this mouse for FPS and dont see a need to spend more money on a better mouse when this one seems to provide all the performance I need.

This is my first SteelSeries mouse, I usually stick with Logitech and Roccat but after seeing reviews for the new line they put out decided to give the Rival 310 a try. After trying the mouse Im immediately a convert and will look to SteelSeries first when looking for a mouse. The shape of this mouse is the best thing about it, for palm grip users or anyone like me who uses a palm/fingertip grip needs to try this mouse. Immediately if fit perfectly into my hand and became an extension of it, I stopped noticing it was in my hand after only a few minutes. It also has the best mouse feet I have ever felt, and Ive owned lots of mice. They glide without any feeling against the Mousepad, I wish I could buy these mouse feet to use in all my mice theyre that amazing. Its a great size for my hand and I think will be for most people. Just long enough to rest inside my hand fully but slim and short enough to still control easily. As I said before the best way I can describe it is that I stopped noticing the mouse almost immediately, it just feels natural to use. The build quality is very solid, no flex or rattling at all. All the buttons are short and crisp, the left and right click can travel quite far if you use a lot of pressure but if you click like a normal person you wont notice at all. The scroll wheel is soft and fast with enough tenting between steps to control easily when moving slowly. The rubber sides are textured and make this mouse very easy to control and pick up something low DPI users will appreciate. The plastic costing is also textured and almost rough compared to other smooth and soft mice. I really like the feeling, it makes it very hard to slip even when applying too much pressure with your fingers. I can see how some people would prefer smoothing coating as it feels more high quality but for performance I prefer this textured plastic. After using the mouse for a bit I doubt you will even notice it. The sensor is top of the line optical and from all the reviews and personal testing Ive had no jitter, spin out, or any ghosting at all. Now for the one down side of this mouse, the software and if you care about it the lighting as well. SteelSeries really needs to improve their customizability and interface in general. Its very simple and easy to use but has fewer options than Logitech, Roccat, or Razer. It only has 2 DPI settings which will be unacceptable for some players but works fine for me and most users who only use 1 DPI. The lighting options are very limited with no unique settings, the lighting on the mouse itself is fine and has bright sharp colors and I think people who will like this mouse for performance wont really care about the RGB effects. I have mine off or set to the steady orange of SteelSeries. I would highly recommend any gamer who uses palm or fingertip grip to go to a store and try this mouse. I prefer its shape to any mouse Ive tried before including the G403, Kone Pure Owl Eye, Deathadder, EC2-A, and FK2.

I really want to love this mouse, but I cant. It is pretty ergonomic and all the extra programmable buttons are solid, but the scroll wheel, oh the scroll wheel is atrocious. After I replaced it thinking it was defective the new mouse had the same annoyances. The tactility between each scroll is a bit too much, but the real problem is that it is unpredictable. Scrolling down isnt too bad but scrolling up is AWFUL. When you scroll up it doesnt always stop and rest before each notch, instead it gets stuck in between notches. Say you are scrolling real fast up the page, when you get to the top and let go of the scroll wheel it sometimes gets stuck in the middle and it is extremely unsatisfying and you always feel the need to scroll farther than you need to so it wont rest there. I find myself constantly resorting to other methods of scrolling. Middle click, page up, page down, and arrow keys. It wouldnt be nearly as bad if it happened when every time, but it is completely random when it happens. I dont recommend it if this would bother you.

Coming from the original, and then to the rival which is a bit heavier, I needed another light feeling mouse for mobas and shooters. I prefer my rival 700 for mmos and the relaxed palm grip those games allow you to have. The weight of a mouse in an mmo never matter much for me. Now when we go to league or pubg, I can not use that rival. My hand is constantly going back and forth with large arm movements due to low sensitivity, and my grip actually changes(shooters). I noticed the back of the mouse dragging, I wouldnt get a full lift with the rival. I purchased this in hopes it would solve my problem of weight on my other mouse, and it did just that. Back were the days of my speedy, smooth gliding sensei and I couldnt be happier. Keep in mind the weight is just right for me and may differ depending on your own preference. One thing I would note is that the mouse clicks didnt feel as premium as the rival, but I suppose that could come down to preference as well. I suggest watching some YouTube videos on grip type for your hand length. A lot of content creators have ideal hand measurements for specific mice. Theres a whole science behind mice and keyboards. Best to get started more sooner than later.

Honestly, so far, the best ambidextrous/left-handed mouse Ive used in years. Ive gone through Razer mice, and found both that the thumb buttons werent quite in the right place for me, making them difficult to actually use in game, and lately, I have to say their quality/durability has fallen off. First Razer mouse I used, an original copperhead, is actually still functional but very worn and looks it. Last Razer mouse, Orochi, lasted less than 2 months before a main button stopped working. After that, tried EVGA, just because the price was amazing. I got 2 Torx 3X Laser mice. Same problem with thumb button, needed to somewhat turn mouse to use thumb buttons, making them less than convenient and undependable in game. Also, very quickly, inside of 2 months, the rubber on the mouse wheel loosened, making the wheel close to completely non-functional. Also, for my hand, somewhat small, the whole mouse seemed somewhat long and flat. I then tried the logitech G300 mouse, but found the mouse a strange shape, very high, with the left and right buttons grooved so low it was impossible to hit those buttons and the middle mouse button/wheel at the same time, which I do for some games. I also could not use the thumb buttons and right mouse button at the same time, as the thumb buttons faced straight up and were designed to be pressed by the same finger that pressed the right mouse button - index finger in my case as Im left-handed. Again, I use that combination of thumb and right mouse button in some games, so the Logitech mouse was a no-go for games. Finally I tried this mouse, the SteelSeries Sensei 310 Gaming Mouse. It feels so good, just perfect in my hand. the thumb buttons are in the right place to use w/o twisting the mouse, and I may even be able to use the 2 buttons on the other side. As I am not pressing them accidently, I think I can leave them active and use them, a first for an ambidextrous mouse in my experience. The materials feel good, the switches seem solid so far, and the software is great once you get used to it. It even has a cloud feature, so I can keep the settings the same for the mouse I use /w my laptop, and the one I use /w my desktop. The only other mouse Id consider is the second newest Logitech wired/wireless one, G900, (I dont need Lightspeed charging of G903), but the G900 Still costs over $100, more than 2x the cost of the Sensei 310. Again, for me, so far, 2 months in, this is best ambidextrous/left-handed mouse Ive ever used - just great design overall.

Im a big FPS gamer with big hands so basically every mouse I hold feels terrible. But not this one. The awkward hump on the bottom right actually cups into my hand and gives your pinkie something to grasp onto so it doesnt drag. This also allows you to use your pinkie finger to move the mouse and make crisp micro-adjustments when you are aiming in any shooter. Ive Had this mouse for over 4 years and just bought the same exact one to replace the old one.

Ive used Logitech mice since, forever. G500, G502, MX reboot, etc etc. I wish I made the change sooner. My friend swore by steelseries as a competitive CS:GO player. I just casually game, from shooters to RTS and mix of anything in between. Its not like this mouse made me a better gamer, but its so much more comfortable to use than any of my mice. Shooters are a tad more enjoyable as my hand isnt cramping. Am I landing more shots? Eh... prolly not. I still suck but hey, at least Im having way more fun. Clicking seems to register better though. The software is normal. I used it initially and for the first week tweaking my settings and my sensitivity, but after that I havent touched it. The only thing I thought I would miss is the side to side scrolling on my Logitech. I dont miss it so its not a dealbreaker for me. It may be for you. My last Logitech was the MX reboot, which didnt last me a year and I reverted to a G502 that I had initially replaced.

Sensei 310 is an excellent ambi mouse. Love the silicone side grips, probably one of the most comfortable mice Ive used so far. Im on the fence on whether this will replace my fk2 as my main gaming mouse, this mouse is comfortable! Honestly I was suprised due to how low of profile this mouse has. The sensor is excellent quality with precise 1:1 tracking for FPS (tournament grade). Can definitely use this for many different game genres. Great for someone who wants a nice mouse thats not too flashy but hits a home run in performance. 2 RGB lighting zones, very aesthetically pleasing. The SteelSeries software is easy to install and use. It has a matte black finish with really crisp feeling LMB RMB clicks. My only gripe is that I wish the scroll wheel was tighter, not as much resistance that I was hoping for. Im sure it will be good for web surfing and document browsing but for gaming functionality a little more resistance wouldve been nice. The triggers are split on this mouse with omron mech switches which apparently boasts a 50 million click guarantee. 2 buttons on the left side of the mouse along with 2 buttons on the right side of the mouse. They are thin enough and placed well to avoid accidental key press, could be a tad larger in size but still very well done. Since I just received this mouse and started using it I cannot comment yet on the durability of this mouse but from a short hand experience the build quality is good so my expectations of a good length of life is there for me. Definitely feels like it will last longer physically then the rival 300 series I was previously using as the grips on the sides wore down incredibly fast leaving the mouse to have a very battle scarred look. Quick deterioration = change of shape = inconsistency in grip (IMO). Hopefully the silicone grips do the trick. Note this mouse is pretty light, great for some but not for all. Definitely doesnt hinder the feel of quality to me. Highly recommend this mouse, especially for all you competitive players out there. Great job SteelSeries, new favorite mouse added to my collection (replaced the rival series for me).

Ive had this for quite a while now, and I already know Im going to get another when the time comes. Used the original for a couple years, but the left click died on me one day. So I got a temporary generic one for a while which sucked and made go shop for a better one. Found a solid deal on Black Friday for a Logitech g502 Hero. I liked the functionality, but it was pretty small. The size and ergonomics of it were so bad that I couldnt play a FPShooter for even an hour without my entire hand spasming and cramping. So I looked around for Ol reliable, but discovered the new one is practically the same. So I went ahead and got the Rival 300. Immediately felt relief in my hand and my aim showed drastic improvement. The larger grip is exactly what I need, and now I know. I highly recommend for anyone who plays grip-intense games.

Still works well with no hiccups. It has been very reliable as a mouse plus the application has been very easy to use and FAR LESSS annoying than any razer product with synapse that Ive used before.
