I don't even know what to say, other then that this is stupendously excessive and completely absurd. It's big, it's slow, and it doesn't even react that well because none of the UI controls are native. Apparently this was done so the UI can be skinned, because everyone wants to skin their user interfaces? Second, the entire UI is apparently driven by a bog-slow internal HTML engine- that's right, the GUI is written in HTML/CSS/JS. Net and ported to Mac OS X via Mono (so it's not a Cocoa app). Out of curiosity I installed it on one of my laptops anyways, and it has to be one of the most bloated, slow, and totally irrelevant configuration utilities I have ever laid my eyes upon.įirst- it's written in. I'm sorry, but a 110MB download for a *mouse* is absurd. I'm really happy I'm within my 14 day return window, because my Sensei is going right back to the computer store. Press and hold the CPI button for 3-5 seconds which will activate the menu on the LCD screen (on the bottom of the mouse itself). You can make changes to your mouse without the software as well. If you saw this advertised somewhere, please let me know so that I may ensure there is no misleading information. I'm afraid that Sensei is not yet supported by the Mac version of SteelSeries Engine. ![]() Then, they closed my support ticket as "resolved" and did not update their websiteįor reference, here is the email response from support: I pointed out the fact that it's flat out wrong in many places and ambiguously misleading in even more places on their own website for the product and the drivers. They wanted to know where I found this "misleading advertisement" about Mac support. While I know Mac users are typically considered 2nd class citizens in the gaming community, I received an unusually generic and barely helpful response from them. Without third party USB drivers ($12-20 extra), there is only generic USB mouse support. I can confirm that it works also in XP and Virtual PC. ![]() While the mouse is recognized in MacOS and you can do basic adjustments through the LCD on the bottom, to take full advantage of the more sophisticated features, you'll need a PC and the Windows version of the drivers. ![]() They claim that drivers will be available in September 2012. However, based on my emails with the company, there are no Mac drivers. I had researched it online and based on their website, it "appeared" to have full Mac support. Even though I had to pay well above retail, I was happy to finally find it. Earlier this year, I was real excited when I finally found a store locally (Bangkok, Thailand) that had them in stock. The D3 drivers work only for the D3 mouse. I can confirm that there are no "full support" drivers.
