NOOOOO the sensei is out of stock ;(
-
Yeah, damn all the good stuff are out of stock :( 40% off sounds freakin crazy. I can't even get the NP+ cuz its sold out haha.
-
yeah after checking it further everything good is gone basically lol
-
:'( Maybe next year I will get myself a high quality steelseries mouse.

Hmm, I was able to use purchase a Sensei at about 1AM PST on Sunday. I didn't get any notifications that it was sold out yet. Btw, I tried the mouse at Blizzcon (well, it was the Diablo III mouse, but it's the same shape as this and the Xai) and I must say that it is pretty damn comfortable. I'm glad I was able to pick it up for $64 shipped!

Thats odd i tried at 3.30pm EST and it was all gone, and PT is 4 hours behind right?
-
i have a hunch that this "out of stock" shenanigan is a lie so that the don't feel bad about not offering 40% off on it
-
Looks like it's giant mousepad time. Er, gaming surface.
edit: $10 to ship $11 worth of mousepad. F that.
-
I made a 1000 dollar last time when it was 30% and 50% off.....And another 1000 this time, lol.

Great choices on the Xai/Sensei. Love seeing more people getting away from Razer gear. SS makes my favorite mouse and mousepad. Been using Icemat/I-2 for over 5 years now. While they're pretty high maintenance in terms of dust (dear god its a pain), I think it's totally worth it for a surface that will, as far as I can tell, last forever and gives the perfect amount of glide for me.
-
Thats what I wanted to do, swap out my DeathAdder for a Sensei too bad no stock, I'm still bummed out about this ;<
-
me too, :[ how often do they do this stuff? Could really use a new mouse, and wudn't mind trying a steelseries.
-
Get an Ikari laser guys. Best mouse I've ever had. I'm really disappointed they didn't/haven't yet made a Sensei in the Ikari form factor. I'd own one if there was.
-
What isthe difference between Ikari, Xai, and Sensei, I know the Sensei is the new version of the Xai, but thats about it
-
Sensei is better hardware under the same shell as the Xai, Ikari and Xai lasers are identical aside from the form factor.
IMO the only reason to get a Xai over the Ikari is if you are a lefty or hold your mouse in a way that wouldn't be comfortable for an Ikari to support. The way I essentially palm my mouse, it's the ****.
