First person shooters are extremely popular and are featured in most of the professional gaming competitions as well as being the main staple at LAN parties. In FPS no peripheral is more important than the mouse. The mouse controls where you look, aim, and fire, which is the main point of the FPS. So what gives one player the advantage over another? There are numerous answers to that question, but since this is a mouse review, let us pretend that everything is equal except the mice. Having a mouse that is very sensitive cuts down on your reaction time and help increase your score in battle.

There are a wealth of mice available, but not all are suitable for gaming. Logitech, Razer, Siatek, and Microsoft, to name a few, all make gaming mice that perform admirably. Get into chat on any server and ask what mice to people use and you will find that the selection runs the gambit of all most all the manufactures out there as well as the many models that are available. With and established base, how does one break into the market of competitive gaming mice? Well that's exactly what the Storm division of CoolerMaster is looking to do with the Sentinel Advance Gaming Mouse. The Sentinel Advance features 5600 DPI with 1000 MHz polling rate as well as on the fly profile and sensitivity changes.
