5.0 out of 5 stars The Mouse That You Have Been Looking For, January 1, 2010
This review is from: CM Storm Sentinel Advance 5600 DPI Twin Laser Engine Pro Gaming Mouse ( SGM-6000-KLLW1-GP ) (Personal Computers)
I was pretty skeptical when first buying this as it was a company's first attempt at a mouse (mind you that Cooler Master generally focuses on cases and PSUs), but I was blown away by how good this mouse is. I've used a couple mouses in the past (from some lame wireless Microsoft mouses to a Logitech G5). I must saw that this is superior in almost every way to those mice. First off, I must say that the price for this mouse () is generally the pricepoint for a good mouse. The G5 is around the same price (if you want a new one). So the price isn't a killer (which makes me very happy, because buying games makes me broke). Next, the shape: The shape is VERY similar to a G5, which I loved. The extra addon of weights is a perk over the G5. Also, the OLED screen is a major plus along with lasers that go up to 5600. I think it actually spoils me. I feel weird using a mouse without a screen now.

Although this mouse is great in many ways, it is not for everyone. I would only recommend this mouse to those with large hands (like me) and prefer the palm grip. This mouse is the most ergonomic I've had, but this opinion only applies to large-handed people. The claw grip also works but I find that it is difficult without removing all of the weights. This mouse is still a tad bit heavy if you prefer to claw your mouse. This mouse also should only be bought by gamers. Everyone else in my house finds it annoying because of the high level of sensitivity that it has. This is solved through setting up various sensitivities though. You should also be decently strong if you want to use this (no I'm serious!) The amount of force required to push the scroll down (middle click) is a pretty high amount (which may be good or bad for you). The positions of the extra buttons (which can the customized greatly from button pushes to scripts to macros). This mouse is also super sensitive. The review about the guy saying that he could move his cur sor by blowing on his mouse is not exaggerating much. Just by typing on a keyboard that is on the same desk as a mouse will move it. You must be a semi-experienced gamer to appreciate this level of sensitivity.

As a gaming mouse, the CM Storm Sentinel Advance got it right in so many ways.
-5 profiles (each with a different set of controls for each button)
-Ability to change your profiles within seconds at any time (you can alter your dpi almost instantly without having to quit a game to change the settings)
-A OLED screen to help you pick your perfect dpi
-Customization of Lights is cool too (but i would still buy it without this)
-Super low to Super high dpi range
-Ergonomic grip (you also have a good grip for all those with sweaty hands)
-Good positioning of Customizable buttons
-Perfect Texture (Smooth yet grippy)

Some cons that may apply to you:
-only for gamers (or difficult to adjust to for nongamers)
-generally better for the larger handded people
-generally but not limited to palm gripping
-sensitive to the extreme
-large/decently heavy even without weights
-requires strength to middle click (doesn't really matter unless you play a game where you middle click frequently and you game for hours on end)

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST HAVE FOR PC GAMERS - The Best!, March 23, 2010

This review is from: CM Storm Sentinel Advance 5600 DPI Twin Laser Engine Pro Gaming Mouse ( SGM-6000-KLLW1-GP ) (Personal Computers)
Let me start by saying I'm an avid pc gamer, and have been for many years (back since the original doom took the world by storm, lol). I've used many gaming mice over the years and am happy to say I've replaced even my most favorite one (until now) with Cooler Master's Sentinel! The mouse I replaced was a Logitech G5, which I had used for well over a year with pleasure. . . but it's really no match for the performance and features of the Cooler Master Sentinel.

I will tell you what I currently play on the pc to give you an idea of the performance you are getting within these titles. I know when I was reading tons of reviews for this mouse I wanted to know these things and could not find them.

Curently I'm using the Sentinel for:

Battlefield Bad Company 2
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Mass Effect 2
Borderlands
Counterstrike 1.6 & Source
Dragon Age
Left for Dead 2

Performance when gaming:

P laying each title while using the Sentinel provided me with a bit of a surprise. I had no mouse jitter and extreme precision throughout all the titles. The on the fly DPI switching was smooth and accurate, with a distinct noticeable gain throughout the dpi increase. I have heard this mouse is a little bit touchy with the mousepad you use, but I used an old school supermat and found it to work amazingly well and also pulled out my steelpad which worked flawlessly too. So both a cloth and smooth/hard surface performed very well for me.

Another great feature was after you install the mouse and load the software you can program 5 profiles onto the mouse and use them in different games. So for instance when playing modern warfare 2 I may want to enable rapid fire to give me a bit of an advantage when using burst or single fire weapons. . with the software CM generously provided, YOU CAN PROGRAM ANY BUTTON TO RAPID FIRE! That alone is worth it's weight in gold to some gamers. . . I myself am not much into that feature, but more than pleased that they included the option.

Fit & Finish:

I will say the mouse is on the bulky side, but to me this is one of the biggest pros! I have large hands and long fingers and this seems to fit me like a glove. But it's not overly large and I wouldn't see a problem with it fitting small/average hands either as the ergonomic curve is well designed. The grip was very good and I felt comfortable using higher DPI settings, knowing it would respond quickly and not fly out of my hands. . . which is an extreme advantage over some of the smaller gaming mice made with poor grip texture from such known brands as Razer and Logitech (altho they have large ones too, some are petite).

There is also a built-in display panel which shows your DPI setting as well as a customizable logo which you can design your own and upload onto the mouse, making it one of the first gaming mice I'v e ever owned to have this feature and really make you feel like you can "make it your own". VERY COOL! Then obviously there are colored LED lights which you can change color and effect of. For me this was a neat feature, as my gaming rig is blue LED based so it really complimented my setup nicely.

Other than that I will mention that the cord is a robed mesh material, versus the industry standard rubber which tends to not coil up as much and is a very nice touch for such a reasonably priced mouse.

Conclusion:

I couldn't really find anything I didn't like about the CM Storm Sentinel Advance gaming mouse. It has the features I would expect from a 100+ dollar mouse at a fraction of the cost. I honestly just ordered a 2nd one off amazon so I can have a backup if I ever wear this out. I think CM is just going to continue making gaming mice after such a successful product and I can only see their gaming line increasing in value and price as th ey make a name for themselves in this market. If you do most of your gaming on the PC and are looking for a competive edge at an incredibly amazing price .. . don't pass this bargain up! It's the best mouse I've ever owned and am proud to say I'm a converted brand gamer! COOLER MASTER FOR LIFE!

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor tracking for "Twin Lasers", fascist support forums., July 13, 2010

Right, so, the product itself has numerous features that are all well and good if you like bells and whistles, but it's important to remember that the more features you pile onto a product, the more parts there are that can break and will need to be fixed. One of the primary problems I have with the mouse is the tracking. On Windows startup, often the mouse fails to begin tracking at all, even though the left and right mouse buttons work, and I require several restarts before I can get the cursor onscreen to move. Another problem is that when it DOES track, it often skips and stutters, and when I need to lift the mouse when I run out of room on my mousepad, the "Twin Laser" sensor goes into some kind of snooze mode until I shake the mouse for a while.

Now for the fun bit, Customer Support. When I first addressed these issues at the CM Storm support forums, I was sent a Private Message from an Admin asking for my personal information, because CM had some sort of new mousepad in development and they wanted to show it off to me (I couldn't tell if the admin was trying to push a product on me, or was offering a free mousepad, because said admin spoke in broken English). I kindly replied that I wasn't interested in a new pad because I'd already spent on a SteelSeries 4HD Gaming Surface (read: a really fancy pad), and that should have sufficed. The admin replied that what I "needed" was a brightly colored pad, on which the mouse's sensors would pick up movement easier. At this point I opened a new topic pointing out that on Amazon's page for the product, it advertises "Dynamic Surface Adaptation -- Tracks on all surfaces, ensures minimal lift-off distance", said that if a "brightly colored" mousepad was a system requirement, it should have been listed. I also quoted from another webpage describing how laser mice in general were, by design, able to track on ANY surface WITHOUT a pad. This topic was promptly deleted, and I was sent another P M from the same admin asking again for my personal info, and that there was a "new mousepad in development that would make me the happy user". Rather than create another support thread again, I posted within someone else's thread, as this person had described the problem in a similar manner. I stated that what I had to say was valid, I wasn't "trolling" against the company, and that rather than trying to push a new product on me, they should be focusing on the software error that was causing the tracking problems. Lo and behold, the next day I logged in to find "You have been banned. No reason has been specified. Date this ban will be lifted: Never."

If pointing out product flaws and advertising discrepancies is enough to bring down the corporate hammer, then I dread to think what happens to those who actually demand a refund. That said, it probably won't deter me from doing so. I recommend a Logitech product instead.
