SteelSeries - Sensei Laser Gaming Mouse

for the record my steelseries sensei MLG is still working after 12 years, my g503 started double clicking within 2 months, my raga trinity is still good after 4 years and I just got an Aerox 3 that I love the feel of but is wired, should have gone wireless. I think it's all luck of the draw

Steelseries Sensei BO2 edition user here. Had to reinforce the point where the cable meets the mouse with a rubber sleeve, changed the switches (which are most likely the culprit, to be easily replaced, in your case) like 4 times and the shell itself has a crack in it (to be reinforced with gray tape - considering it took Mark Watney off of Mars, I think it will help here as well 🤣) ... Plus it's naked, as the fancy design coating was looking rough, so I striped it off. It is a true black ops mousie. 😎 13 years and I'm pretty sure it has another 13 in it... 😂 Don't give up on yours just yet, if you don't want to! https://preview.redd.it/t1fuopll2ulf1.jpeg?width=556&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c60daa8cd4b89b947e34ad82e18c7db9f8081c6

Only one I remember that had one was the steelseries Sensei, the original version. Got one for free when I worked at Best Buy and loved that thing. Wish I got to experience the g600

Steelseries sensei, black ops 2 edition

For me it was the OG steelseries one. It had soo many buttons well positioned and was a good size

gah damn steel series sensei what a throwback I've been out of the mouse game for awhile now. recent bought the vxe r1 se+ and holy shit am I astonished by what 20$ can get you for a gaming mouse nowadays

Steelseries Sensei but smaller

I had been given a Steel Series Sensei as a present when GW2 came out and I actually played ele with it for the first few years. Hard to imagine now! I knew I needed one of these mythical mmo mice but the price was insane. £100 for a MOUSE? I nearly fainted when I found out what my brother paid for the SteelSeries and that was just 'normal'. When my second Sensei was on its last legs, (I had replaced the first with the SteelSeries Guild Wars 2 tie in version) I got one of the cheap Redragon ones and it was a game changer, as you've learned. Way too heavy for me, ultimately, but it did persuade me to bite the bullet on a proper one. I went with the Corsair Scimitar, because of the movable keypad as I have very small girl hands. Yes, the software has been quite a pain over the years, I used to regularly have to unplug and replug the damn thing because it wouldn't be recognised on startup, but I realise I've not had any iCue issues in a very long time now. (Touch wood.) I guess when things work they become invisible. I honestly think at this point I'd have to give up the game if I couldn't get another Scimitar.

Does anyone think it would be a viable business to refurbish used up gaming mice that aren't sold anymore? I've replaced faulty sensors on my old steel series sensei in the past and it's not too bad if you know how to solder. Just curious what people would be willing to pay for a service like that. I got upset when a friend told me they had to trash a perfectly fixable razer naga lefty edition.

I'm sure there are plenty, but I personally recommend the Steel Series Rival 300. It's affordable, light, ultra responsive, and the drivers offer a lot of customization. If you want something similar with more customization, then go with the Steel Series Sensai. Only thing is, I have medium/small hands for a man, and both of these mice feel a touch small at times. But maybe I'm weird. Best of luck finding the right replacement cuz as someone at my desk 8-12 hours a day, a mouse that is even slightly annoying would make me want to die.
