    Hey guise! Which mouse is better for a left hander user?

    Im currently deciding between both of them. Also which mouse would be more solid for FPS/MOBA gaming?

    In terms of comfortness, which mouse is more comfortable to use after long gaming sessions? Thanks in advance :)

    Actually.. I own the Sensei. My friend owns the Taipan.. and it's virtually impossible to compare the handling simply because they are almost equal.

    Just go with what you like, the Sensei has awesome colours and they can be changed, the Taipan has a sleek look and is just .

    I would go with whatever you get the best price on :D

    I've been using the Sensei since it was released and I only have a small issue with it - the gloss coat. It gets dirty quite fast and over time the paint on it tends to chip off.

    The Sensei is also available in the [RAW] version which has a rubberized surface - I have it and bought it for precisely that reason.

    I don't have experience with the Razer but I very much enjoy my Sensei; it's accurate, lightweight and has a great grip. Quite comfortable and natural to use for extended sessions.

    Precisely.

    Really all the luxury a gamer needs.

    Slightly cheaper but then again, fewer features on it. The lack of on board profiles really was the deal breaker for me.

    If only they came out with a Sensei with a rubberized surface.

    If only.

    I would love the same exotic treatment they give the Siberia V2's :p

    I was wondering should I buy Taipan or Sensei.
    Finally I decided to get the Razer Taipan, it is also cheaper, good specifications, and it feels great.

    Why not just grab a left hand mouse :)? Wouldn't it be more comfortable for you.

    The left handed DeathAdder would be pretty good too. :)

    Sensei because Razer has shoddy build quality and 'DRM' drivers.
