A lightweight shell for Steelseries sensei 310.
After buying a new mouse, my old one was left collecting dust. Heavily inspired by Optimun Tech's Zeromouse (https://www.youtube.com/@optimumtech/, https://zeromouse.co/), I modelled this to make your Sensei 310 a lightweight aiming monster, coming in at sub 30 grams of total weight.
Minimal weight reduction has also been achieved by desoldering the scroll wheel
With the mouse being so light, the cable causes quite a lot of noticeable drag. Hence, a mouse bungee is much recommended for this setup.
Featuring:
- Shell optimized for fingertip grip: This kind of shell can be quite hard to use with palm or relaxed grip. The triggers are slanted by 4 degrees down towards the right side and 8 degrees down towards the front.
- Under 30 grams of total weight: The light weight makes it feel almost like you hold no mouse at all. Pure input might be a marketing slogan for this kind of mouse.
- Reverse triggers: Again, heavily inspired by Optimum Tech, the reverse triggers provide quick clicks with very little no pre-travel, while maintaining ease of printing
- Slots for 6,5mm universal mouse skates: I've yet to get my hands on some. On a good mouse pad the mouse works quite well even without due to its light weight.
- USB-C connectivity: I soldered the original wire into a USB-C breakout board like this to make the mouse itself easily modifiable and detachable: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/RtottiM-Pieces-Female-Connector-Breakout-Blue-green/dp/B0BB68QYV9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=B7OMJLEF4I0X&keywords=usb+c+breakout&qid=1704491630&sprefix=usb+c+breakout%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-3
- No additional hardware needed to assemble: Use the motherboard mounting screws to mount the motherboard, and the outer shell screws (unscrewed under the original skates) to attach the triggers
- Included led diffuser file can be mounted in conjunction with one of the mainboard screws to even out the light shining from the singular led soldered to the PCB
- Steelseries engine still recognizes the mouse as an original sensei 310, even with the daughter boards removed, so adjustments to dpi, accelerations (if one wants to use those) and the singular LED left on the PCB can be made.
Sadly this mod removes the most well-known features of the sensei lineup: ambidextrous design and two side buttons on each side. This mouse has right-handed design, and no side buttons. Also the scroll wheel has to be desoldered for the triggers to fit.
The trigger models have been marked with I for the left trigger and II for the right click, for ease when assembling.
