Who each one is for
Buy the Cooler Master MM720 for FPS players who want the lowest possible wired weight and claw and fingertip grip users wanting a small symmetrical shell, though it is not built for palm grip users wanting a fuller shell and anyone who wants a wireless connection. The SteelSeries Sensei Ten is the one to take for ambidextrous and left-handed players wanting a flagship sensor and buyers who prefer wired reliability over wireless convenience, though it is not the pick for anyone who specifically wants wireless connectivity and ergonomic-shape loyalists. It is equally the pick for palm and claw grip users who like a medium-size symmetrical shell. Our rating of the Cooler Master MM720 (8/10): one of the lightest wired mice on the market, backed by a genuinely flagship sensor rather than budget internals. Our rating of the SteelSeries Sensei Ten (8/10): A dependable, well-built ambidextrous mouse that suits players who don't want to commit to an ergonomic-only shape.
