A small, gradual ridge similar to that on the Rival 300 surrounds the CPI switch on both sides, offering a bit of protection so you don't accidentally trigger it. Both mice feature a "split trigger" design with separate areas for both left-and-right buttons, along with a button behind the mouse wheel that lets you switch CPU on-the-fly which can be configured in the SteelSeries Engine software. The USB cords actually look kind of cheap compared to the fancy braided cords found in many gaming mice. Both mice are what I'd consider slightly smaller than average, with the Sensei being slightly shorter than the Rival, making them both suitable for either palm or claw grip action.īrian Barnett + 1 moreThe Rival and Sensei 310’s both feature six foot cords that are not braided, which is a disappointment on a high-end mouse.

The Sensei is slightly shorter at around 125mm, however. I measured the length and width of them and it appears to be around 130mm by 70mm, roughly the same as the Rival 300. There is a feeling of hollowness, but there's a noticeable sensation of weight at the bottom of the mouse. On the contrary, the 310s (both mice) feel balanced, and the weight loss dramatically improves the feel of sweeping movements, like when turning your character around completely. Both mice are selling for $59.99, which is about average for a competitive, high-end mouse.ĭesign and FeaturesThe Rival and Sensei 310, at 88g and 92g respectively, are considerably lighter than the Rival 300’s 130g. As far as the 1:1 tracking goes, I feel like I’ve heard this before from various companies, but is it for real this time? I spent some time with the Rival 310 and Sensei 310 in order to find out. The new models are the Rival 310 (See it on Amazon) / (See it on Amazon UK)and Sensei 310 (See it on Amazon) / (See it on Amazon UK) both share the exact same design, though the Rival is for right-handers and the Sensei is ambidextrous.
