SteelSeries wireless gaming mouse launch

Overview

SteelSeries has launched its Sensei Pro and Rival Pro wireless gaming mouse series to mark its 25th anniversary. The lineup includes symmetrical Sensei Pro models and ergonomic Rival Pro models, both available in standard and Mini sizes.

A significant technical feature is the transition from the 2.4 GHz band to Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, developed with Canadian firm SPARK Microsystems. By operating in the 6.4 GHz to 9.056 GHz band, the devices aim to reduce interference and provide approximately 20 times more bandwidth, enabling a wireless polling rate of 8,000 Hz. To manage the high power requirements of this rate, the mice utilize an ‘Infinite Power System’ featuring hot-swappable battery pucks that can be swapped from a wireless base station to ensure uninterrupted gameplay.

The Sensei Pro weighs 53g and the Rival Pro weighs 54g, while the Mini variants weigh 49g. The mice incorporate the TrueMove 42K Pro optical sensor, supporting up to 42,000 DPI, and optical switches rated for 100 million clicks. Notably, the devices are strictly wireless, lacking both Bluetooth support and a wired connectivity option.

Following the initial October 13 market release, specific availability has been announced for Japan. Black versions of the series are scheduled for release starting November 20, 2026, via major retailers and Amazon.co.jp, with white versions expected to follow in mid-December 2026. The mice are priced at $179.99.
