Now here is what Cooler Master has to say about their product:
Designed To Search And Destroy
The CM Storm Sentinel Advance Gaming Mouse was developed within the CM Storm Labs with the pure intent to empower up and coming talent with the hardware that the best e-Sport pros demand. Enhanced and engineered for triumphant victory, the CM Storm Sentinel Advance is your Weapon of Choice.
Speaking of Weapon of Choice, stay tuned for a follow-up review on the CM Storm CS-M Weapon of Choice AK47. It is a professional-grade gaming surface that is perfect for this mouse.
hmm, so i wonder will my logitech g5 be de-throned. we’ll see…
Personally, I think it has already been dethroned. This mouse is so impressive!!
Although die-hard Logitech fans will say that the G5 set the stage for many that came after it. That is also true.
bimmerboy79, the logitech g5 was dethroned before it even hit the market. First gen lasers were horrible for gaming. the mx518, mx500, mx 300, g1 and every Razer optical mouse all clearly outperform the g5 in terms of precision and clipping speeds… http://esreality.hexus.net/?a=longpost&id=1300293&page=5
There is a site and they have benchmarks for mice. The methodology is listed in the pages before the one I sent.
You should do some research before making uneducated comments. First gen lasers were not suitable for gaming, except for very casual. It did nothing except maybe introduce weights and make a lot of innocent people waste their hard earned cash.
This mouse looks awesome as it is comparably inexpensive for all the features it offers and is built by a reputable company. Thank you for the review. P.S. people actually like sideways scrolling?
Good points there stalin1g.
Some persons like horizontal scrolling but I think that it is more of an asset to those with smaller resolutions. With larger resolutions, there is really little or no need for it.
