Looking into the mouse, it is a rebranded version of the Steelseries Xai (same size and sensor as the Sensei)
This guy doesn't rave about it, but for the price maybe it's worth?

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=29978.0Hi there, I am left hand and had .....Habu (!), MS Intelli, Diamondback old and 3G, deathadder left 3,5, I like lightweight mice, only problem I had with deathadder 148g. ....
I am a high sensi player, long slender finger, fingertip style (my carpal bones/wrist is not moving) razer goliathus control small is my pad.
games:
FPS games, CS since beta 0.7 , right now starcraft2, other casual shooters bf3....
Mouse: overall good.
now diablo 3 is perfect for me in terms of shape,size, also sensor is good enough for me.
build quality:
main buttons:
left button is softer and "deeper" so average quality, button on the right side - is crisp - hard short travel way - the way I like it.
side buttons:
a bit cheap but ok, wont use them very often.
mouse wheel:
big, distinct ticks, large "distance" between ticks, - I like it. not using a lot the wheel as my right hand is always close to page up/down.
mouse feet:
build quality low (not even !!!!! so wiggling on hard surfaces!!)
feet slippery:
average low
so what I did - I usually bought hyperglides which are good. as hyperglide feet do not have feet for this mouse I bought Tesa (company name) tape with a aluminum surface.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tesa-Aluminium-Foil-Tape-50/dp/B0024NKDDU bought in a store for tools - if your rain water pipe leaks.
It is perfect (for me) - glides about twice as good as teflon feet from http://www.hyperglide.net/. As the tape does not come in a perfect shape ...see image
I also have a razer vespula - but this is too slipery as when I click on a something the mouse moves (!) non fingertip players wont have this problem as they apply pressure on the mouse preventing this. so the combo alu feet+goliathus needs the right amount (for me!) of force to start moving the mouse and then to keep it moving - and then to stop it.

EDIT about mouse acceleration: tested in cs 1.6 180degree (~10cm on the pad) there is inconsistensy in the results but very little. I almost get the same results - low fast doing the 180 degree thing. I would say 3°-5° difference so pretty close, can be my testing - can be the sensor. Good enough for me.
Summary: when you are a left hand, fingertip, high sensi player this mouse might be ok so check it out. Otherwise you might have issues with it. (feet, button, sensor...)
