IMNM, you can only RMA when you have the box. If its a Play Interactive / Nation Tech unit, then you will need the box. If you bought a non-local unit, then its best to liaise with your retailer. Headset dont usually have serial numbers on it, from what I can see on mine.

someone can help me here?
which one is better between steelseries siberia v2 and diablo 3 headset?
*
Are you referring to 3.5mm jack V2 or USB v2? The Diablo 3 is USB based. The advantage of a USB connector is that you can adjust the equalizer and has other special features like glow effects which you cannot have on the 3.5mm jack. But the advantage of the 3.5mm jack is that it is universal which you can connect to any device with headphone jack, which you can't with the Diablo. Your choice smile.gif

i'm referring to USB v2..
its between frost blue or diablo 3..

Then I would choose the Frost Blue. Reason because it is newer and it has cooler and I don't play Diablo. Well unless you are a Diablo fan tongue.gif

I'm looking for keyboard protector/cover to limit dust accumulation on my SS keyboard.

Any recommendation?

Which keyboard are you referring to? IMHO, keyboards are best felt with it's natural surface. Protectors will reduce the feel unless you want to sacrifice the outlook of the keyboard. But I need to know what keyboard are you referring to first.

So I should get a new qck+ colored same quality with the heavy right ?
*
Colored as in limited edition ones? Like Tyloo/SK Gaming/NAVI etc? Thinner than the QCK Heavy by 2mm, the QCK Limited Edition ( I like calling it that) is 4mm thick. Perfect thickness. Same quality, some say smoother but seems the same to me.

Anyway, anyone interested in the Steelseries SX? Hard surface. Saw it on Heavyarm's website, the price is doh.gif

Yeap.. Navi look nice but expensive lolol. Btw I saw ppl sell mousepad with just a transparent plastic. Isit ori from ss ?

Look for the distributor sticker. If you find Nation-Tech, it's original Malaysian unit. But usually it should come with a proper box/casing.

Thats why. 5H is purely for FPS. I almost bought it before i chose V2, 3 years back. Never regret since. But now my V2 sits at one corner, havent touched it for 2 months already :/

SteelSeries Sensei RAW Review

Introduction
Sensei RAW had been out in the market for a while. Recently they released the Frost Blue theme for their devices. This mouse is the same as the original sensei RAW just that it is themed to suit the Frost Blue look of the Siberia v2 Frost Blue. Let’s get on to the review

Technical Specifications
Frames per second: 12000
Inches per second: 150
Mega pixels per second: 10.8
Counts per inch: 90 – 5670
Maximum acceleration: 30 G
Sensor data path: True 16 bit
Lift distance: ~2 mm
Maximum polling: 1000 Hz

Packaging
user posted image
SteelSeries always had a minimalist design packaging for their mice. The packaging is made of thick cardboard. You can be sure that the mouse inside is free from any damage during shipping; nothing special to expect inside the box. It’s just the mouse itself packed with a SteelSeries sticker and a quick start guide.

Design
user posted image

SteelSeries had kept this design for quite some time now. Ever since they invented the Xai, nothing much had changed ever since. Their flagship mice such as the Sensei also packed with the same design, but the Frost Blue RAW has a glossy top with grey rubber side. The mouse has 2 side buttons each side. Since this is designed to be an ambidextrous only on side of buttons can be used.  The bottom of the mouse has 3 big Teflon feet that can last you quite long.
Hardware
The mouse is packed with an Avago A9500 sensor with DPI maxed at 5670 with a weird increment of 30. The mouse has onboard memory that can store 1 profile. This isn’t quite a great number. The mouse have blue led lights on the DPI indicator, scroll wheel and logo; only the light intensity and the pulsation speed can be changed, nothing much fancy here. The mouse features Omron mouse switches which offers great tactile feedback when clicked.

Software
The customization software has a VERY simple user friendly interface.

The first panel is button mapping. Here you can set macros for your mouse. Macros can be easily recorded.

The second tab is to adjust the DPI and polling rate settings. As I said it offers a weird increment of 30 dpi. You can also adjust how the lighting looks here.

The third tab is where you save your profiles in your computer. The applied profile will be saved in your mouse memory. Lastly the fourth tab is to measure the activity of your mouse.

Real World Usage
I have a single 24-inch monitor. My DPI is fixed for 1350 low and 1800 high which is sensitive enough to me. For those who prefer a very sensitive mouse, the mouse has high enough DPI for that. The mouse ships with angle snapping off so that it won’t interfere with your mouse movement. Acceleration is negligible. Shape is great for me. It can last me 7 hours and more of straight gaming without any feeling of fatiguing. One profile is sufficient for me since most of the games I play do not require macro. The scroll wheel isn't that solid, it feels loose.

Conclusion
SteelSeries liked to keep their mouse simple and powerful. The Sensei RAW is no exception. But it retails at a hefty RM329 price tag. Downside of this mouse is that it could have more on-board memory.  I also wished it could have a customization for lift off distance.
*
No difference from the normal RAW just some cosmetic mods only. Over-priced as usual.

And bro, serious 7 hours straight?! You are my master liao tongue.gif I can never last more than 5 hours lolol
