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!

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.

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 ****.
