Xai or Sensei RAW
Can someone tell me the difference? I mean, did someone used them both and can tell me from first hand..

I have Xai now, and clicks became dull, so I want a new one, so, what to do?

actually the section is ok.

Actually it isn't. It should be in the Hardware section.

xai is very good, sensei is good but too much expensive and not so better, and imo too much useless features 4 me

It is almost the same. The sensei is a BIT heavier. I myself did change my sens after changing from xai to sensei, I lowered it a bit (maybe because the mouse is a bit heavier?! idk).
Go with what u want to spend your money on, = best advice u'll get :)

I know, but the price is pretty much the same, that's why I have a dilemma :/

The sensor IS the same. The only thing you should worry about is "the feel of the materials".

same sensor, only sensei doesn't broke so fast like xai.Also with better scroll wheel it's very good investition

Yes, but I'm talking about Sensei RAW, a stripped down Sensei.. I mean, he doesn't have options that regular sensei, nor the Xai have, that's why I'm confused :(

Sensei is almost the same as Xai :) but it has better scrollwheel and it has glowing SS logo (which is a detail:D)

sensei = xai
xai = sensei

Get ZOWIE eVo EC1 or EC2. Way better.

You can see difference when u have cs sens 1, windows sens 6, zoom_sensitivity_ratio 1 and noforcemaccel, noforceparms.

Double zoom with awp and move mouse slowly. With steelseries it doesnt move or lags, with zowie it moves smoothly :)

Optical sensor ftw!

Maybe, but there is no way I can buy them in Serbia, and to have a warranty :(

I have pretty much most steelseries mice, xai, sensei, kana etc.

I would say the sensei raw it the best from them all that I have used so far.

It is like a xai but with a better mousewheel and all the bullshit taken out of it.
Only 1 small thing was that you cannot set your DPI to 400 which is what I normally use, only 450.

Thank you very much for your pro-opinion. It is really important for normal players.


Thanks again.

Thanks for feedback, I'm a little disappointed that I can't change cpi to 800 :(

Seems to me that regular Sensei will do the trick, or to buy new Xai again :/

I have had 1 Xai, didn't work with my QcK Heavy(lmao) and I have had 2 Sensei mices, both are retarded, u can't draw a straight line...
