I bet they used to make fun of Razer's 'Ooooh Shiny!!' lights on the mice and keybords!! Lol!
I think their comments I pointed out were pointed at Razer, so it's kind of humorous that the Sensei has lights in almost the same places. Oh well.
For some reason, I never cared much for Razer mice. They looked good, but I never found any single one of them to be that comfortable. I find it kind of impressive that I find the Sensei comfortable to be honest. I usually just equated ambidextrous to mean "lack of comfort".
When I hear from people who own Razer mice that they tend to last less than a year, it's kind of a turn off. I used a Logitech G3 on and off for 5 years, and it still is going strong. The Sensei is my new on-going mouse, so we'll see how long it lasts.
Thanks for the extensive review, Rob. Great and informative reading. I particularly like the fact you don't think twice about pointing out the little flaws very few other reviews mentioned.
I'm a little obsessive sometimes. I find faults with things that others don't consider to be faults. I talked to someone about that macro requirement to use the right thumb buttons, and they didn't find it to be an issue at all. Different people will see different issues, I guess.
It's rather curious, although not surprising, that gaming mice always present features that also make them great productive tools. For the last years, anything of any interest going on in the market of computer mice has been mostly pioneered by gaming mice.
Out of curiosity, are you able to give me an example of what you mean? On a related note, one thing I didn't mention in the review is that because of the added accuracy, I found desktop work to be a little easier to manage. There are some chores I'm forced to do that are
tedious, requiring mouse precision, and this mouse has helped things a fair bit.
How's the mouse noise levels? The click of the main buttons and the scroll wheel? Are they muffled sounds or somewhat high pitched?
Honestly I've never really noticed a difference between any mouse I've ever used. The clicks are all audible, but nothing extreme. The scroll wheel click is rather quiet, but the left and right buttons are much noisier. The side buttons have a more definitive deep click, but overall, nothing is out of the ordinary from other mice I've used.
