SteelSeries Diablo III Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2012-07-23

The latest mouse we are reviewing is Diablo III themed and powered with a 5700CPI Avago laser sensor. The chassis is lightweight, ambidextrous and features a total of 8 buttons (one of them being the CPI toggle button). The Diablo III mouse does not have multi-colored LED lighting or LCD display underneath and is priced more competitively than the Xai or Sensei, which have a similar shape.

Conclusive Thoughts

The Diablo III mouse from SteelSeries is a must-have for the collectors and admirers of the game with the same name. The design works optimally for both right and left handers, shares a lot of the design elements from the Sensei (the bottom LCD screen is missing though) and is fully covered with a rubberized coating.

 

Two programmable buttons can be found on both sides and the mouse is also decorated with game-specific artwork, for increasing the eye-candy element. The mouse LED lighting effects can be adjusted via software, but we cannot change the color. The mouse is not heavy and can be successfully used in office applications or for browsing; and the three large Teflon feet facilitate a smooth glide on the pad.

 

The high resolution 5700CPI Avago sensor did not have tracking problems during testing on the two different mouse pad surfaces we put it on (aluminum and cloth).

 

As we have seen in the Sensei review, the Diablo III mouse uses the powerful SteelSeries Engine application, which allows us to fully customize the mouse functions like CPI, pooling rate, button functions and more.

 

The Diablo III mouse can be found online for about 55 Euros.
