Hey guys, I'm getting a gaming mouse soon, and I'm leaning towards sensei raw or Xai because of the low profile design ( so I can pass it for a cheaper Mouse to my mom and prevent her from nagging =P)
I have lots of questions after reading lots or reviews and comparisons, fo I'm going to list down my questions and concerns, hopefully someone can help me out.
- which one is currently cheaper? - which one has a better feel, or better for intensive FPS? - what does the sensei raw have that the Xai does not ( in simple language, cause I don't really know how to read and interprate the specs ) - do the Xai have the same coating as the rubberized sensei raw? If not which feels better? - some reviews say xai's buttons are hard to click, while referring to the posts above, does the sensei have similar issues? - is it true they have issues with mouse acceleration, if so, it it that bad? - some of my friends say steel series mice have lousy build quality, is it true? Because I need my mouse to last at least a few years. - are they good for laptop gaming? Or good without a mousepad? - according to the previous post, how do I avoid the first batch defect if I decide to go with the RAW? - Last but not least, which one do you recommend for me to buy?
Extra question, I'm also planning to get a Qck mousepad, is worth it, or should I get another one?
Hope you guys can help me out. =D Thanks in advance.

QUOTE(H3LLKEEPER @ Nov 23 2012, 12:05 AM) Here's to answer all your questions 1.Xai is cheaper but it is no longer in production. You may find some leftover stocks in the shelves but you would have a long time claiming warranty 2.Both are the same if you take rubberize. Glossy last longer but is quite slippery 3.raw has higher dpi(sensitivity) 5600 compared to 5000..nothing much different otherwise 4.both feels same. 5.nope its perfectly fine. 6.no mouse acceleration.. 7.lousy? what mouse they using? perhaps they are unlucky to get a manufacture defect. 8. yes the size is quite portable..medium sized..best with mousepad 9.first batch defect means its the first wave that enter malaysia...i dont think so have such defect now. Best is to test it after paying for it. 10.sensei raw..since xai stop production 11. yes..if you prefer hard pad that would be 4HD which priced around 99 XD woah thanks! You just helped me made up my mind to get the RAW. Added on November 23, 2012, 6:43 pmOh, and another thing, steelseries flux in ear pro avaliable in malaysia or not? Is it good for fps? Price?

QUOTE(GodJesterZ @ Nov 25 2012, 10:50 AM) why not the sensei or the kana the raw is like the lower grade os the sensei Well the kana's looks and fells cheap according to the reviews, while i dun really need the lcd screen, 10k plus dpi and flashy colours, since my laptop is also black with white lights. And the raw looks low profile enough to prevent my parents from asking that many questions =D plus i dun like heavy mouse, nor do i like very light mice. And i'm getting the mouse right after spm =3 the flux i'll get after i get my money after ns.

It was AWESOME xD~~~ I love the grippy feeling of the mouse, smooth yet with a rubberised feeling~ Fits my hand perfectly~ Optimum weight for me, not too heavy, yet no too light that it gives a 'cheap' feeling~ Awesome in gaming~ Love the low profile design~ All in all, I still can't find something to criticize it yet =P

Hey guys, bad news == My sensei RAW is officcially died ==" and i have not treated it roughly, except for constant unplugging and repluging (Using laptop, wad to do?) And now it is officially, and mysteriously broken. It does not even light up anymore when i plug into my laptop, and it behaves normally on other pcs for a few minuites, then suddenly powers off itself, and the pcs does does not even recognise it as a usb device anymore == and I've had it for only a month T.T Now i hope the shop I bought it from can offer replacement or something due to warrany, otherwise need to send to Ss support (i gt the ticket from ss btw), and they say (SS technician) something wrong with mouse, and somewhat uncommon, but happen b4.
