Today SteelSeries announced availability on the new Sensei Pro Grade Laser Mouse. This is not your
hardcore gaming mouse that will improve your K/D ratio in your favorite first-person shooter, but it is a slick little piece of PC gear that you might really want to check out. Why? Because it’s just plain cool all around.
For a long time I’ve been using a dual mouse setup because I’m left-dominant ambidextrous and for decades I was forced to use right-handed mice. But in the past few years there have been more and more PC mice coming out that are offering more even designs that can be used in either hand or specifically for the left hand. In fact, on my desk right now is the Razer left-handed Death Adder (now removed from service), the NZXT Avatar S (for my right hand) and the SteelSeries Sensei (left hand). The two that are currently in service could be exchanged because they both sport ambidextrous design aesthetics. But we’re here to talk about the SteelSeries Senei right now (I’ll do the Avatar S later this week).
First let’s look at the SteelSeries Sensei from a technical aspect.
