Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| With the Sentinel gaming mouse, Coolermaster has produced an almost perfect gaming mouse which surely can be used as an allday desktop mouse too. The mouse can be connected via USB cable and there is no need of any driver installation. The DPI and polling rate can also be changed by pressing a combination of buttons on the mouse to change the settings manually. Desirably delivery with a small pouch for the mouse and the removable weights would be appreciated. |

- manual only in english - no case for not needed weights | |
| Ergonomics | + | - | |
| The Cooler Master Sentinel Gaming Mouse which is only suitable for right handed gamers allows a very natural position of your hand. A well defined pressure point for every button is also very comfortable. Using the grippy mouse wheel even scrolling can be done absolutely effortlessly and on top of it the scrollbutton is very responsive. The two thumbbuttons are even for small hands easily accessible. We are very curious if there will be soon a left handed version of the Sentinel available on the market. This would be an enrichment for all left handed people in the gaming scene. |

| Generally the mouse comes with exceptionally good gliding characteristics. The large pads allow a very homogeneous user experience. Paired with the adjustable weight and a low center of gravity it has a very good percision no matter if you're doing sudden or continuous movements. The buttons are well placed and the click reaction is excellent. In case the glidepads should wear out, Cooler Master even thought of replacement pads in the delivery. |
