excellent hey everybody welcome back to another Paul's hardware dining room table Edition this time I'm going to be unboxing my first-ever SteelSeries product on my personal channel this is the SteelSeries sensei raw rubber surface gaming mouse this is available in a couple different textures or coatings on the surface this is the rubberized Edition which I'm going to say right from the get-go I know I'm going to prefer there's also a glossy plastic finish available for this one which I'm not a fan of when it comes to mice but if you are that's also available so I'll just start off with a quick look at the box but so you can get an idea of how its laid out and everything I'll show that text up close in just a second you do have a little peekaboo window right there that you can open up and see that winning is everything that's that's the mantra we're going with right here you can also see the mouse right there this is an ambidextrous design for a mouse which is also something that I've not been particularly a big fan of in the past so we'll see if this mouse is able to change my mind when it comes to that particular thing let's start with some specs right here as you can see they're all listed we got frames per second twelve thousand counts per inch or CPI anywhere between ninety and five thousand six hundred and seventy which is a lot CPI and dpi for all practical purposes are interchangeable this is a laser sensor mouse that we're dealing with right here but 150 inches per second 30 grams lateral acceleration I'm sorry 30g lateral acceleration so you can move the mouse really fast lift distance of roughly two millimeters eight button Mouse so you get two side buttons on either side left and right center click as well as a eight button which is used for changing your CPI you have two options that you can store within the mouse and a 2 meter braided cable and there's kind of a look at it as well the SteelSeries sensei raw is compared to the SteelSeries sensei original is basically a less expensive and slightly less blingy version if I can say that basically you get a lot of the cool elements such as the the sensor they're using the Avago a DNS 9500 same one that's used in the sensei and then also here you get Imran switches for the left right and center as well as TTC switches for the side buttons gaming grade switches power bi SteelSeries engine so you can still use their software although you're not going to have quite as much a ability to access the more detailed features because this one does not include actually there's a really handy chart right here if you're wondering the difference between the sensei raw and the original sensei you get SteelSeries exact tech the metal coated grip the you get with with just a sensei braided cables with both you don't get all the illumination possibilities so this one will only illuminate in white versus all the multicolor illumination that's available with the RGB on the original sensei pro grade laser sensor though available on both for example sensitivity of CPI and DCPI just CPI available in this so again just more of a plug-and-play mouse with not quite as many of the professional adjustment features so no LCD menu system on the bottom of the mouse for example and one on board profile available for storage versus five with the sensei so oh and then the 32-bit ARM processor so that's a reason why you're not getting quite as much of the flexibility that you do with the sensei but for some people who just want a simple mouse that works and that you can just plug in and use which is often the case and then I've experienced this should be a good option so let me pull this out of the box missing anything we have the SteelSeries sensei raw Quick Start Guide let's take a closer look at that all right Quick Start Guide is going to tell you oh you also get a SteelSeries sticker always nice to have a package contents for example system requirements compatible Windows 7 Windows Vista Windows XP Mac OS 10 ten point six you need 100 Meg's of free hard drive space if you're going to install the software and then you get 100 and what you want 828 megabytes of RAM which hopefully you have and a USB port plugin and of course getting started let's just flip through this Oh another languages so that's pretty much it for manual and then the mouse itself which is packaged up here alright so there you have the mouse initial impressions for me I love this I love the coding I love the rubberized coating this is my preferred coating for lots of different electronics products the only downside to this possibly in the future is after many many clicks or even a few weeks or months I'm not sure depending on how the quality of the coating you can't have it start to wear off which doesn't look all that nice but this is just an unboxing but hopefully this is going to be one of those mice that holds up over time with that awesome that awesome coating on it the bottom you have a bit of a clear see-through thing so you can see some of the PCB layout on the inside as well as your product information some big old PTFE Teflon feet on the bottoms of nice easy movement to the mouse across your chosen surface this is going to light up in white the SteelSeries image there at the back then you've also got this little item here which will light up for to indicate the CPI changes which you can make by default with this little button right there scroll wheel it's at the top so nice two tents available and that seems pretty sturdy as well left and right click button feel in the hand is pretty good pretty good for starters one thing that I've encountered with mice in the past that have buttons like this on both sides in particular with an abode extras mice is if you're going to push these buttons you're gripping the mouse from the side and you might accidentally push the other buttons on the side but this feels like at least upon initial inspection that my finger is going to want to push right here and not necessarily up against these buttons so it doesn't seem like it would be a problem although maybe I should put it on the table yeah it feels pretty good again especially for an ambidextrous Mouse and I know this is just a first impression but pretty good feel in the hand mouse is fairly lightweight you don't have any weight weighting options with this but you know I think from a weight perspective it's it's not heavy I would say it's a little bit more towards medium to lightweight from nice to that other my said I've tried you can see the side buttons here on one side forward and back I'm guessing for the default some other more some other buttons over on this side which you can program using the software and then the cable which is kind of a black and white braided it looks to be the nylon and not plastic braiding which is always nice to me ters of that and then up to the knots gold-plated us oh thank you steel series for not making this gold-plated I mean it's not bad to have a gold-plated but it doesn't do anything so I'm glad that they didn't have to do gold plating anyway but yeah nice cable looks to be a nice Mouse right out of the box so that's a quick closer look at SteelSeries sensei raw with the rubber surface thanks a lot for watching this video guys if you want to see more don't forget
