SteelSeries launches new Ultra-Wideband mice
The world of high-performance peripherals just got a serious upgrade. SteelSeries is shaking up the wireless mouse market with the introduction of the Sensei Pro and Rival Pro series, bringing cutting-edge technology directly to gamers and enthusiasts.
At the heart of this refresh is the revolutionary Ultra-Wideband wireless technology. This system steps away from the traditional 2.4GHz connection, utilizing a massive 6.4GHz–9.056GHz spectrum. This expansion provides significantly more bandwidth, allowing for smoother, more stable high-rate polling and effectively eliminating the wireless congestion that often plagues competitive setups.
For those demanding peak performance, the new lineup incorporates a Max Performance Mode, which locks the sensor to a constant 8000Hz report rate, ensuring zero latency and maximum responsiveness during the most intense gameplay.
Under the hood, these mice are packed with precision engineering. They feature the TrueMove 42K optical sensor, capable of tracking up to 8000 IPS and delivering blistering 70G acceleration. Reliability is also paramount, with optical switches that boast a 100-million click lifespan and an incredibly fast 0.35ms latency.
SteelSeries has also addressed the perennial issue of battery life and uninterrupted use by introducing a hot-swappable dual-battery system. This innovative setup allows one battery to charge while the other keeps the mouse operating wirelessly, ensuring your session is never interrupted.
Power management is impressive: the mice offer up to 32 hours of operation at 8000Hz polling, or an impressive 120 hours when running at the standard 1000Hz rate. All configuration options, from custom aim-training tools to sensitivity tuning, are managed seamlessly through the comprehensive SteelSeries GG software suite.
Whether you choose the full-size model, weighing just 53g, or the lighter mini versions available in black or white, these new mice redefine what’s possible in wireless control. With a competitive starting price of £169.99 / $179.99 / €199.99, the Sensei and Rival Pro series aren’t just mice—they are high-speed performance tools ready to dominate the competition.
