LOL I thought that the rubber surface would get sticky because of usage... didn't expect it to become like that in storage... anyway what did u do with the Ikari Laser??

Wish there was a way to re-apply the surface

Agree with you... my ex-Kinzu suffered the peeling from the matte rubber coating and sticky feel (aka resin rot)
so I avoided the Xai and went for the Sensei

Added on September 29, 2011, 12:48 pmI tried to rename my profile to "Aa" but after restarting my pc it still defaults back to the Aion orange LED settings
Guess I will stick to unticking the msconfig startup service till SS releases a new driver version

It's not dirt or what, it's probably the resin or adhesive that's slowly melting off and appearing on the surface.

Probably. Though I keep my mouse in the open.

Didn't get sticky from usage, got sticky from lack of usage.

I think I'll go peel off the rubber surface one day.

Peeling? Oh wow. Mine wasn't that bad.

I renamed mine as "Aa - iVantage". After that, it doesn't toggle to the Aion profile anymore.

How long have u guys been using before the rubber start giving way?

After you rename the "Aa" profile, do you need to drag it into the on board mouse profile? eg. Profile 1?
Mine still toggles back to Aion profile even after renaming
Are you on Windows 7 64bit?

Nope, just renamed it and it was okay?

Yeah, Windows 7 64-bit.

you cant.. it will be a bit pinkish..

I like your Sensei's BitMap

I have submitted a ticket to SS Support team with regards to this issue and apparently the new driver will be released on friday

SS support team's reply:
" Indeed I've realized that the fix does not work currently. We're releasing a new version on Friday that will resolve the issue. Simply uninstall your current version (select to clear profiles) and install the new version on Friday and it will be entirely fixed without any need for a workaround.

Hope you can wait the few days "

Now the wait begins

SteelSeries Sensei Custom Bitmap Contest
Contest is extended till 6th October
Winner's can claim their prizes on 7th Oct at Capsquare, Ground Floor (SS booth) @ WCG Malaysia 2011

IDK about u guys, but for my ikari laser the dust that stick on it I used those wet napkin and wipe. But it will turn the ikari into black color instead of the original grey. Mind you, do not ever use the cyber clean to clean it. It will make ur mouse more sticky.

really ?? Is it you use cyber clean already then straight away use ?? If Im not wrong, after using cyber clean the mouse is a little wet.

will join if they give out a QcK Heavy xD

can purchase ss sensei through their website or not from malaysia? warranty wise, shud be okay rite lol. n oh ya, is it cheaper buying through their shop?

i think you just get straight from shop would be better ... Warranty would be easier still i guess ..

Nope. I left it there for few hours before I start using it again. Very sticky. But now it's all good after I wipe the mouse with wet napkin.

Well, probably they don't do shipping to Malaysia? It would be best to buy locally for warranty purposes. Who knows whether PI covers for your mouse purchase from SS straight or not. If they like Ban Leong, don't cover warranty for purchases made through razerzone, then you have to send back to SS.

Yeah I still get the same problem. Oh well, just waiting around for the official fix

Still not released?

I don't think you can buy SS thru their website if there's a distributor in this country.. lol
