I've had this mouse for about a month now, replaced my old generic mouse and wow what a differance. This thing is fast and responsive. Not sure if its me or what but the included software does not save my mouse speed setting. Other then that great price for a great mouse. Love the color settings.

Having owned and extensively used several high end gaming mice, im happy to say this one is fantastic for half the cost of some others. I've had nothing but trouble with wireless so-called gaming mice, so researched corded gaming mice, and I believe correctly chose this mouse. Its obvious they did their homework, the cable is VERY long to accomodate a typical gamers setup, comes with an extra set of stick-on pads for when they wear out, the weight system is great, the onboard memory to save settings and case lock make it perfect for LAN gamers. Im definitely happy with this mouse.

On the PC, I love this mouse - great, fast tracking and a nice fit for my XL hands. The Mac is another story - even with no other USB devices attached, the mouse tracking is jumpy and terrible. Wouldn't recommend for Mac users.

I needed to replace my aging Logitech MX518 (great mouse btw). Always loved CM cases, so I decided to give this a shot. WOW. This mouse is incredible. So smooth and precise, I find I have to adjust my own habits while mousing to reap the benefits of this pointer's capabilities. Now a mere flick of the wrist has me killing enemies in record time or adding items to my NCIX.com shopping cart before I have the money to pay for them, haha. The ergonomics of this mouse are a perfect fit for my medium-sized hand. None of the buttons get in the way of my fingers as I rest them on the surface. From the screen shots, I had worried that the two side-by-side DPI adjustment buttons would be a nuisance, but far from it. Perfection! It even has headlights 8) The overall feel of this mouse amazes me. It is solid and smooth. Does not give me that flimsy feeling some off-brand mice have in the past. Also, something every mouse should have included: FREE replacement pads for the bottom of the mouse. How brilliant is that? The Sentinel software is a major plus as well. Any option you could imagine is here for you to explore. Beautifully executed. I simply cannot say enough good things about this mouse. Thank you CoolerMaster and thank you NCIX.

This mouse puts together nearly all the wants of a gamer; customizable buttons/macros/scripts, high speed polling, real time distance measurement, very high res sensor, ergonomic layout/shape, adjustable weighting, OLED display and bling (lighting)!I was surprised to see such a product from CoolerMaster who I always perceived as a lower end manufacturer of HSF units. However this company has made huge leaps in all areas it seems which now includes gaming mice! They have taken the time to create  a mouse that has nearly all the features a gamer could want and bring it to market for a great price (currently ~$45 CND). Logitechs' new G9 mouse just can't complete on features and especially price (~$120 CND)! There is not such a beast as the "best gaming mouse" simply because different people have varying preferences however this mouse should appeal to the vast majority.I really like the organic LED display which allows you to directly change the DPI setting. Also there is 64K of memory to store the configurations so you don't need a driver app running in the background. Small details such as including a replacement set of PTFE (akk Teflon) pads and a mouse cord locking plate show the attention to detail that the designers made.The weaknesses are really insignificant unless you are left handed however my son is such and has always used a right handed mouse placement. A tilt scroll wheel is something I have on other mice but never use and the last point regarding keyboard/video/mouse switch response - that is a wee bit annoying however your experience may be different with a different brand of KVM (if you even use one for that matter!)

It has almost every feature I want. It has high DPI, adjustable weights, several on-the-fly profiles. One thing I can fault is it's a bit small. I have average size hand. Still, it's one of the best mouse for price/feature.

Comment:
I bought this on sale for $35. Prior to this, I have been playing online games with a crappy optical mouse. And what a difference it has been. At this price, it sure feels like one of those $100+ gaming mouse!

Overall, the mouse is great. I changed to this mouse from my Razer copperhead which was a bit of a change as that mouse was an ambidextrous one as well as being much lighter. However, it was easy getting used to the sentinel. The biggest problem I've had with the mouse is that compared to the copperhead, the bottom of the sentinel isn't completely smooth which causes it to catch on surfaces like the mousepad I have (a cloth one). The sentinel seems designed for a hard surface as my desk works much better than the mousepad.

Comment:
overal this mouse is worth the price as it well built and designed, if you have small hands you should think about getting another mouse as this is mouse designed for big hands.

Comment:
for the price paid, this is a great mouse. for my hands it's very comfortable and i have not regretted replacing my mx518 mouse. my only problem is this mouse squeaks a little bit sometimes when i use the right click button, other than that it's perfect

Love it. Upgraded from my gigabyte m6880 so i can have that one for my notebook. Paired it up with a Saitek cyborg keyboard for ultimate excessive flashiness. "Everyday is Christmas on my desk!". Aside from all that; the mouse has great responsive feel to it, a couple hours with some classic FPS and RTS games assured me of that. The Software looks very cool and seems to have a lot customization options; though i only briefly looked it over. The only extras you get with this is a pci bracket that you are supposed to wrap you mouse cord(which is nicely braided btw) around to prevent theft. A great idea but i will likely never use it. Would have preferred a case for the mouse or weights; maybe a sticker? At this price however I can certainly overlook the lack of accessories and give the CM Storm Sentinel my full recommendation.

I don't know why people are saying that if you have small hand it will not work for you....well, i have small hand and its a lot more comfortable then the HABU, and it works very well for office and gaming task. It looks really good and it's easy to setup.i had a little compatibility problem with my hold Thermaltake mouse pad, it had some worn dull spots and the mouse laser had problem with that....but it's working directly on the desk, piece of paper, on the skin, on the cat's back, so you can say that it can work on any surface but a worn out TT mouse pad, i bought a Razer Destructor pad and it looks good and work great This review was modfied by poster @ 08-02-10 04:38 AM

The ability to customize colour and weight, with on-the-fly DPI buttons, makes this a great mouse for any user. The hand sits perfectly on the mouse and is comfortable when both palming and clawing. The side buttons are high enough that they don't get in the way when holding the mouse, but still accessible enough when needed. The mouse performs well at both low and high DPIs and is great for gamers and digital media enthusiasts.I had a couple issues with cursor drifting, but with a firmware update  and using MarkC's Windows 7 mouse acceleration fix, most problems have been alleviated (use google to find it). According to the CM Storm forums, firmware 1.4 is soon to be released that will help with drifting even more.The software for creating macros and scripts is a little confusing and limited. The rest is great, especially the first page. Since the mouse is plug and play, once you set your settings, they remain on the mouse (even between computers) and doesn't require any special software to use.I would recommend this to anyone who wants a great mouse for a great price.

I'm using this with a Razer Goliathus speed edition mouse pad that I got for 15 bucks... The two make an excellent combination and I get the same performance of a more expensive Logitech G series or Razer mouse for at least half the price.I was a Logitech fanboy for a long time but Coolermaster has really won me over with with this mouse.Also love their cases and of course the Hyper 212 HSF :)Giving it 5 stars, hands-down. Way to go Coolermaster!

I love this mouse and it works great for gamers like me. I mainly use this mouse for Bad Company2 and it works great for it, the side keys enable me to chat via Teamspeak very easily. It has a nice braided cable that avoids being tangled and is a good length. The different profile features are very handy when you can switch between long range sniping and close quarters with one click. The only problem I have with it is it makes my hands sweat very easily but my hands sweat easily so this may not be a factor for others. The price for this mouse seemed too good to be true but it was and it is an excellent quality product that I would buy over any Logitech or Razer mouse. I can't believe all the features this mouse has for this price. This mouse proves that your only paying for the brand name most of the time.

Overall it is a very nice mouse. It is my first mouse after using dollar store mice, so the mouse may seem more golden to me than to a seasoned high-performance mouse user. The mouse feels very nice and I "feel" a lot more comfortable gaming with it. The most useful feature for me is being able to swap between the 4 dpi settings.

Comment:
This is a good mouse for the price. The ability to customize all the settings and the colour are a nice addition as well.

Comment:
Good high def laser mouse. Come in Red 1100DPI, Blue 2600DPI, Green 2600DPI, Purple 3800DPI and Turquoise 5600DPI. Default mode is RED and is called Cooler Master Storm. Front 'beams' are configurable. It can change to white when clicking. You can change profile on the fly while gaming or change the resolution associated to the profile directly on the mouse without quitting game.

Comment:
overall, it is a really good mouse...but it might be a little big for some people (not me, cause i got considerably big hands)the program feature is really nice, and i'd say it is better than the Razer Lachesis just because of the DPI (also, razer lachesis feels weird in my hands...)this is a really cool mouse, but there is one issue that is bothering me: the side of the mouse, where my ring finger rests, keeps on scratching my ring finger... might need to take sometime getting used to... Again, a really good mouse, would definitely recommend it to other people.

Comment:
It is a nice mouse, I bought it home, plugged it in, powered it up, turned on the lights, changed the settings. I had to get use to it first since it is a little bit big. Overall, it is not too bad for the functions it offers for this price.

Comment:
Great Mouse! Customizable, Personalizable, Smooth to use. Easy to setup. I don't use the 5600dpi. But its there if I want it. Multiple colors.

Comment:
I was using a logitech mx500 before. It broke after a couple years.This Mouse has a much larger palm compared to the mx510. The buttons used to change the dpi settings and the led color would be better used for something else. The dpi is supposed to be higher, but I see no accuracy improvement at all. The sensitivity goes wild, yes, but not more accurate. The MX500 had 800 dpi and I was able to aim at peoples heads much more accurately. Although my main concern is that it doesn't register some movements I do, such as going down and to the right slowly. It's very annoying.I'd take it back, but then I'd have to pay a restocking fee.

This is a great mouse that really is the bang for the buck. Before, I was looking at the Logitech G500, then this mouse came up on the sales page. I figured that this mouse has a slightly higher DPI than the G500 AND it was cheaper too, so I went with this one. This mouse certainly didn't disappoint. The mouse fired up when I plugged it in. The fabric cord is a plus; it looks neat. However, my pinky finger is off the right click button; it will take some time for myself to get accustomed to it. Overall, I highly recommend this mouse for a guy who wants the goods without breaking the bank.
