The Verdict
You know there's only so much you can write about a mouse really. I like it, but I also have to admit it will not end up as my personal favorite mouse. I mentioned this in the review, but the mouse has a little bit of a bulky design, it's a lot in your hands and every now and then that bothered me a little. But that's horribly personal and thus subjective though as some like that and some hate it. Size does matter :)
From the ground up the design of the mouse is good, the one thing it is is innovative. Cooler Master is the first to intro a mouse with a little display screen harbored inside. And that's cool stuff. And though it's cool to look at, the display screen doesn't bring a lot of additional value. See, when you switch the DPI values of your mouse you won't look at the OLED screen, no, you just watch the color of the LEDs change really. On the other side, it's a gimmick and it's certainly not bothersome either. It's one of these little extra's that make this mouse special. You certainly have to appreciate that.
That said, this is of course a really nice mouse, very good build quality, we get to have the dual laser engine, onboard memory, multiple profiles selectable by a button, hardware DPI selection, adjustable weight and really extensive software. All these factors make it a grand and good mouse. Next to all the ergonomics, design, features and usage I feel we can't leave out the fact that the aesthetics obviously are fantastic. It's probably one of the best looking mice to date. New and refreshing, these certainly are key items here.
The Cooler Master Sentinel Advance can be purchased in the stores starting today. Expect the prices to hover at roughly 60 EUR / 70 USD.
