Like I said in the Xai Review, mice reviews are hard, depend greatly from person to person.
But this mouse has surprised me greatly.
It is super comfortable, built in very good materials.
Definitely think I'll hold the Xai awhile: D
The software is divine, lets you configure everything in detail and the details of this mouse are excellent at least. (LCD on top with speed, configurable lights, both the color and the way they interact(8 color's, 3 modes, so 24 possible combinations), control of the weights (4.5 g each)).
We should also mention that mouse cable is sleeved and that USB connector is golden plated.
But everything has its price.
After test this mouse when I was thinking and avaliating it I have go search their price, I was expecting something around 80/90 €.
When I discovered that this is only selling at around € 60 I was fascinated.
This is truly a Must Have, since this is phenomenal and their price, well is AWESOME..

The Sentinel software is really nice, you have a wide variety of preferences that can be set up in several profiles.You can configure DPI levels, button assignments and other things.
We have the Color control section front side and topside LED colors can be configured.
We can also configure Macro's for the button's, this is really good for gammers. And Why ?
For who don't no, with macro's the user can create a profile, and then you can for example create a macro to buy a weapon in a game, instead of click in 4/5 keys on the keyboard.

Conclusion

The quality / price ratio of mice this is really unbelievable.
€ 60 for this mouse is really the mice to buy.
For those who do not want wireless mice, mice that have almost everything (even for me it has everything, but there likes and tastes).
As such I can only say, it will change the mice this mice is the most intelligent choice that you can make.

As has already made to realize this is a MUST HAVE.
