what's up guys Matt here and today I'm gonna be taking a look at cooler masters new gaming mouse the Sentinel 3 this is the first time I've had the pleasure of checking out a cooler master mouse on first impression it looks like I'm onto a good one I'm more of a clogged up using myself and the Sentinel is specifically a palm grip mouse but I'm still finding it pretty comfortable to use to me it's a cool looking Mouse to play new futuristic flashy with sleek and smooth shapes the body of the Sentinel is sandy looking with smooth feeling charcoal all over and the buttons are a slightly darker black color the center of the mouse features a clear plastic with a transparent a honeycomb pattern that reveals an RGB illuminated chamber inside as well as a black panel that will come back to you shortly coming around to the front of the mouse or two embedded headlights the color and light up the mousepad ahead of your hand which is a pretty cool effect as mentioned it is a palm grip Mouse and as such the body is reasonably big but definitely not overly so and the left side features a good sized groove for your thumb finally the underside of the mouse features four mouse feet for smooth gliding and the compartment of the back with five four and a half gram weights can be placed now that black panel in the very top middle of the mouse that I mentioned actually contains an LED display that shows you which profile you have selected the current dpi setting and you can also add a custom 32 by 32 logo at the back this is definitely a cool touch but I really liked being able to see exactly which dpi setting and profiles on without having to remember which color is which or quickly swing the mouse around to feel the dpi change I quite liked the button layout of the Sentinel 3 to the left and right mouse buttons are nice and long the other buttons that control the profiles and dpi levels on the fly are flattened out of the way the two dpi shift buttons are tucked behind the mouse wheel and one has a protruding dot on it so you know which one you're touching without looking down the profile switch button is right at the front of the mouse ahead of the scroll wheel finally the back and forward buttons are high up on the left side of the mouse so to use them you do need to lift your thumb right up off the thumb rest a high-end gaming mouse wouldn't be nearly as powerful without a solid accompanying software and coolermaster certainly have one The Sentinel 3 control panel is just under a 10 megabyte download and after a quick installation you'll have full control of the mouse's function and RGB LEDs in the main control panel you can customize an assignment assigned secondary functions with cooler massive storm TX mode black Rockets easy shift + change the LED colors and mode customize the sensor with dpi levels angle snapping lift off distance and angle tuning and finally control your operating system sensitivity settings in the macro tab you can create just that macros and the library tab allows you to store and load as many profiles and macros as you'd like in case you have more than 5 lastly the support tab gives you access to updates and online support something else I liked about the software was that no matter what tab you're in the 5 profiles on the mouse can quickly and easily be accessed at the bottom of the screen and you can assign icons to them too I found this central 3 comfortable and accurate to use in a variety of games and in Windows I wouldn't say I was instantly my favorite ever Mouse to use but I'm extremely used to using either the my onyx caster or the Logitech G 403 so would take quite an adjustment period to get my am dial right in with a new Mouse having said that it's definitely a very good Gaming Mouse and you can trust the matte UV coating 20 million clicks switches 32-bit Aaron processor and a vago 39 88 sensor they're both lost the distance and give you very reliable consistent and accurate tracking combined with cooler masters impressive and powerful software this is a package that was certainly satisfied right-handed palm grip gamers would like be able to tweak and customize their sensor to their heart's content coming in at 60 US dollars I think this mouse is extremely well priced in the States and delivers excellent value and features for the price point in Australia you can pick up the Sentinel for 80 bucks which is quite a low Australia tax compared to a lot of other products I've looked at making this one of the best gaming mouse purchases in the region let me know what you guys think of the Sentinel 3 in the comments I'm your host Matt as always and I'll see you guys next time you
