SteelSeries’ Sensei Pro is a wireless gaming mouse built around a battery system that lets users swap batteries instead of connecting a cable to charge. The approach works well, though the mouse can use power quickly at its maximum settings.
The mouse weighs 53g and has a symmetrical design, a smooth shell and no RGB lighting. Its size and central hump may not suit every hand. SteelSeries includes grip tape for the sides, buttons and back buttons. The DPI button sits underneath the mouse, which the reviewer found inconvenient during games.
SteelSeries’ GG software offers extensive adjustments. Users can remap controls, set DPI from 1K to 65K, and configure the X and Y axes separately. Other options include click response from 0ms to 20ms, sensor tilt adjustments up to 45 degrees in either direction, 10 levels of angle snapping, and scroll jump protection from 100ms to 1500ms. The software also lets users set polling and sensor rates separately, from 125Hz to 8KHz, with 9KHz overpolling.
In testing, the mouse glided smoothly and its buttons felt responsive, though the main buttons had deeper travel than many alternatives. The reviewer did not notice a benefit above 1K polling or from 9K overpolling. With maximum polling and sensor settings, battery life was about a day at best. At 1K polling, it came closer to SteelSeries’ claimed maximum of 120 hours.
SteelSeries calls the system Infinite Power System: one battery runs in the mouse while another charges on top of the UWB station. The Sensei Pro has no USB-C port, so it cannot be used wired. The review says its high price may be divisive but gives no price figure.
