Cm Storm Sentinel Advance 2 Software Download

Hey all and welcome to a review on the the most sexy and configurable mouse in the world. Yes, it's finally available on the market. Cooler Master have launched their Sentinel Advance mouse, yeah the one with the cute little OLED screen inside. It's funky, it's new, it's slightly refreshing yet in the end still only a mouse... but yeah. I definitely like what CoolerMaster tried to do here, and that is to try and build the best gaming mouse evah!

Recording is active. If recording is active, the mouse cursor should turn into a CM Storm logo when you hover over this area. Commands will register in this box. The recorder will register both pressing and releasing a button or key. Use this drop-down to insert advanced commands. This list includes accessing media. Sentinel Advance II is a software program developed by Cooler Master. The most common release is 2.00.0000, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. It adds registry entry for the current user which will allow the program to automatically start each time it is rebooted. Today Neoseeker will be taking a look at the CM Storm Sentinel Advance II gaming mouse and the CM Storm Speed-RXL gaming mouse pad from Cooler Master. The manufacturer is always looking to take.

So Guru3D had the option to receive this mouse a couple of weeks before its launch already and as such we had some time to play around with it and check out all its options.

When you think you have seen all mice and combos, and just when you think 'please gawd 3200 DPI is enough...' ah yes, CM takes it up a step. This Sentinel for example has two self-mixing lasers allowing a DPI precision of 5600 DPI. And sure, while I'm cool with 2400 DPI we also have to acknowledge technology always advances - and higher is better. The mouse has been designed ergonomically, though very much for the right handed. It comes with 64KB memory and a little ASIC inside the mouse allowing user based profiles, macro scripts... heck you can even change the color of the LEDs if you want to.

The mouse also comes with a weight system, meaning you get to play around with little 4.5 gram metal weights to balance out your mouse like a fricking Formula 1 car.

But yes, the coolest thing has to be the fact that Cooler Master integrated a little OLED screen inside the mouse... and that certainly is a first. So without further ado, let's fire up this review and check out what Cooler Master has in store for us with the Sentinel Advance mouse.

CM Storm Sentinel Advance II Gaming Mouse

The Sentinel Advance II Gaming Mouse features the most advanced laser sensor, the Avago 9800. Capable of DPI up to 8200, the door opens for much higher sensitivity and accuracy levels than possible before and even extends these benefits to lower DPI settings. While still maintaining the most beloved traits from its predecessor, Sentinel Advance II is packed with new improvements to keep it as the must-have gaming mouse for gamers.

Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: The range in which you can change the dpi is nice.

Cons: After a year of use, the soft coating began to fade away, and the aluminum 'grill' covering the light began to chip away and rust.

Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: Works perfectly, the software is easy to use, fits perfectly in my palm grip, nice braided cable to ensure longevity.

Cons: After about 6 months of use the paint on the mouse in the palm/thumb area has started to wear off due to sweat. The weird texture I feel on my palm every time I hold the mouse has become a little annoying...
The thumb buttons are also harder than I would have liked them to be.

Overall Review: Overall very good mouse.

Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: Works flawless, precise, nice hand feeling, no hickups.

Download

Cons: The 'paint' is wearing off after 1 year.. but WHAT do i care.. lol

Overall Review: Had the first gen before, it had lasted over a year too. this one, i've been using for way over a year and i had to come write a review since there's a bunch of bad reviews about it and it isn't fair IMO.

Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: lots of settings, high DPI, big enough to fit my palm, fairly ergonomic

Cons: Before firmware update: the middle mouse button sometimes doesn't work perfectly, tracking would be intermittent if any dust was present.
otherwise:
The finish wears off within a month in places, it is fairly heavy even when all the weights are removed.

Overall Review: Do a firmware update if you have an older one like I do, it almost completely fixed the problems listed in cons. I switched to this mouse from an older logitech gaming mouse (MX518). It took my hand several months to get used to the shape of this mouse, so be warned when switching from logitechs shape to this. It isn't a downside because I feel I have better control over this mouse because of the shape.

Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: Awesome when its new...

Cons: I have now purchased two of these mice. The things seem to break down rapidly after about 6 months of use. The little lcd screen stops working altogether. The paint bubbles up and wears off which is worries me a bit, is the paint noncaustic? Also the left mouse button breaks, when clicking you get random dbl clicks or it will unclick while the button is pressed and held. Also you have to reinstall the software if you change usb ports which is annoying as well.

Overall Review: If you do get one of these make sure you have a backup mouse in about 6 months or so!

Pros: Smooth tracking, on the fly adjustments, the adjustable weights is nice, but I keep them all in as I like it to be heavier.

Cons: I had to RMA it after 6 months of heavy use, my right click button broke. Cooler Master had a quick turn around though under warranty since I had registered it and it was no hassle, just had to pay to ship it to them which was definitely worth it.
The little circle designs on the mouse tend to pile up dead skin cells....

Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: You can change the colors of the display on this mouse.

Cons: Everything else a mouse is supposed to do for you this one falls short. From simple movements to it overheating even with the center LED light turned off. I was looking forward to this mouse before it arrived. Yet after only a single month my left button stopped working and I had to return it under warranty. Almost seven weeks later I received my replacement and it was more awful than before. It would overheat to the point of hurting my hand after long periods of use even with the lights off. Mouse functions along the X and Y axis were constantly changed making for infuriating use of this device. I recommend to anyone purchasing a new mouse to just pay the extra 20$'s for one that has been tested and proven. This was a loss of money and less fun than watching those dollars burn.

Greetings,
I am very sorry to hear about the issues with both of the Sentinels. Please contact us via live chat so that we can get this situation taken care of for you.
Sincerely,
Eric

Ownership: less than 1 day

Pros: IT LOOKS EVEN BETTER IN PERSON THAN ON ANY WEBSITE.

Cons: YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE DRIVER DOWNLOAD AND THEN YOU HAVE TO SET UP YOUR PROFILE(S) [UP TO 4] BEFORE YOU CAN USE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. SO A LITTLE ANTICIPATION FOR YEARS OF HIGH QUALITY PERFORMANCE.
