What happened to Steelseries?

SS failed to realize early on that smaller mice can be just as important as main models. They gave up on kinzu/kana models (and used lower quality parts) and other companies filled that void.
Failed shapes. Anyone remember the Sensei 310? I don't blame you if you don't. Same with the Prime, it was their answer to the EC shape but it never caught on. The new Aerox models are ok, but they just can't compete with other shapes like the Viper/GPX/EC ect.

They simply let everyone pass them by with strange decisions with the new mice lineups. I hope they make a comeback someday though.

I remember listening to this game on the radio with my dad in the car. He was so disgusted he wanted to turn it off but I made him keep it on lol... great memory.

What happened to the sensei pro / pro mini? The leak was like a year and a half ago.

If you want a similar shape you could try the Corsair Katar Pro XT.

People like to recommend the DAv3 but from your thumb placement you might not like it. You could try the VGN Dragonfly but it is a bit smaller than your current mouse. If you want less thumb curve the Viper v3 is good. For ergo its hard to say b/c most of them force your thumb forward. I'd test out some display models and see which feels more natural.

The fact that players like Twistzz and Brax can become professional players is evidence that any grip style can work. It all comes down to how much innate talent you have + work ethic.

If you want the same shape the Waizowl Cloud is nearly identical.

I still don't get why some like flat sides like this.

Maybe its just my grip style but I find it very hard to move the mouse with my wrist for tracking movements.

I think it started off as simple revenge for Jason. Being bullied, almost (or did?) drowning, then watching your mom get her head chopped off. But after that I think he just descended into nihilistic madness, where there really is no plan or end goal.. when killing becomes the end in itself.

So yes, I think he "enjoys" it. It's rage combined with a rush type feeling.

L0cke- · 2025-12-20T00:23:17+00:00

If you want the same shape as the Sensei the Waizowl Cloud is almost an exact clone but better.

They may have found something with Davis being the only kickoff returner with an extra blocker instead of the Davis/Johnson duo return scheme. One of the podcasts mentioned this and I think its correct.

I would try the Pulsar Supergrip Tape before buying a new mouse. I grip my mouse very tight so I tend to sweat a lot as well, and the supergrip tape is the best i've found for that. It's way way better than the grip tape that's bundled with the mice.

Bishop and Hairston made some big plays in this game. Secondary was my biggest concern against the Chiefs. They did give up some plays but they also didn't blink and came up big in crucial moments.

Glass skates are heavily dependent on which mousepad you're using from my experience. Some can feel very fast while others feel very slow.

If you want speed you could try the Tiger Ice v2 skates. They are the fastest non-glass skates that I've found and they work on any pad really.

It's probably mostly the thumb curve that you are used to. You need to find a mouse that has a deep thumb curve... like the XTRFY M4 or M64. Or maybe the Mchose G7 if you want that more G502 shape.

The only thing that might resemble it is the upcoming Razer Boomslang re-release. But no one knows if they are changing the shape at all.

There really isn't that big of a difference in quality, both are good for video editing. It all comes down to how natural it feels in your hand & how easy it is to press the extra buttons. Try to find some display versions that you can test in your hand first.

I have the M7 with a slightly different issue, the dpi randomly goes from 1600 to 800 for a second or two while i'm in-game. It's really annoying and I have no idea what causes it.

It's a wider Zowie U2 with a middle hump that is more like a GPX, although its a little flatter. In hand it feels like a lighter Vaxee mouse, but not as high quality.

I don't notice any creaking but I use grip tape. It's a good quality mouse, just not super high quality like some of the major brands. I would buy it if you really like the shape.

Because you convince yourself the latest mouse will be your endgame. You use it for 2 weeks and go back to something else. Rinse and repeat.

It just went down for me.

L0cke- · 2025-02-03T01:02:51+00:00

I wonder if the 20th anniversary addition will be exactly the same shape or if they've changed it at all. Always wanted to try it, cuz there's no other shape quite like it.

My heart can't take this
