Clearly, these guys (SteelSeries) know what they are doing when it comes to designing retail boxes. This allows the consumer to can see the mouse itself, and on the inside cover is a summary for those interested in more information. However, an interesting twist is the front also opens up like a book. The overall design is simple, but it gets the point across. Finally, while looking at the middle, you will see an image of the mouse itself. At the bottom left, there is a bold statement about it being "the world's most customizable mouse" at the bottom right corner, there is the logo. On the front, the company and product name is displayed, with a minor caption at the top left corner. SteelSeries did an excellent job in regards to the design of the Sensei's retail box. While a retail box can have descriptive text or even an informative image on the front that is worth a thousand words, being able to see the actual product is far more effective in my personal opinion. My rationale for this is consumers need to see exactly what they are putting their hands on. This is exactly the way it should be done. When it comes to retail boxes for computer peripherals and electronics, in some cases, the product is displayed in clear plastic. Well, as always, it's time to pull the mentor out of the box, and take a look at what we got for ourselves today. The master's journey went smoothly, and there was virtually no damage to the shipping box, thanks to UPS Standard.

The SteelSeries Sensei came to our offices in Calgary all the way from Japan Chicago, Illinois in a standard brown cardboard box. ![]() While the horror of using a one button mouse without a scroll wheel sinks in, let's take a look at the SteelSeries Sensei and its seven buttons. Looking back, I almost find it funny how I used to think two buttons on a mouse was plenty for my Pentium computer, or even further back, the one button mouse on the Apple II. The Sensei offers seven mouse buttons, which for many non-gamers might sound absurd, but any serious gamer understands the power of having extra buttons. In the click-centric world of PC games, it is obvious that if you want to dominate in games, you will need to have a good mouse, and certainly a good keyboard wouldn't hurt either. ![]() In fact, only a select few games can be played without a mouse, and even fewer of them are played competitively. As a gamer, the mouse is an absolute critical part of when playing almost any game. Well, at least the SteelSeries Sensei comes with its own built-in processor, and many other features which I will get into later. Is it scary to think that the concept of a computer mouse is almost 50 years old? Back then, it was a very primitive and bulky device nowadays, it even comes with its own processor. It was not patented, as it was a secret military project." (Source: Wikipedia). It used a standard Canadian five-pin bowling ball. "The trackball, a related pointing device, was invented by Tom Cranston, Fred Longstaff and Kenyon Taylor working on the Royal Canadian Navy's DATAR project in 1952.
