CM STORM Sentinel Advance Review
Closer Look (continued)
I do not consider myself as one with big hands but on the other hand, I am able to fully manipulate the mouse and all its buttons quite well and also very easily. Although the mouse is a little more suited for those with bigger hands, it is good to see that the design lends itself to versatility and will be welcome in the hands of just about any gamer.
The CM Storm Sentinel Advance in my opinion takes PC Gaming to a whole new level. The reason for this is the level of accuracy that is achievable with the device coupled with its ease of use. Gaming becomes even more competitive once better hardware is available because gamers are now able to hone their skills in new and profound ways.
Take for example the weight system. This technology has been around for a while now and one would feel that it should be a standard with gaming mice. Well the Sentinel Advance implements it well and this is adjusted using the provided weights from its stock 139g up to a maximum of 161.5g. That can be done in five 4.5g increments.
It is not hard to see why this gaming mouse can become an easy favourite. I recently got my first pet hamster and this rodent has grown on me just as quickly.
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.
