The new Sensei Pro gaming mouse from SteelSeries, featuring SPARK LE-UWB wireless connectivity.
SteelSeries’ new Sensei Pro and Rival Pro Series gaming mice are equipped with SPARK’s LE-UWB™ (Low Energy Ultra-Wideband) wireless connectivity, achieving an unparalleled performance profile across all three critical metrics: latency, connection reliability and power efficiency for long battery life.
SteelSeries’ new gaming mice deliver True 8K wireless polling at 8,000 Hz, corresponding to a 0.125 ms polling interval, with up to 9,000 Hz over-polling for even more frequent wireless updates. LE-UWB™ provides the high-performance wireless link behind this revolutionary responsiveness while maintaining reliable operation in congested 2.4 GHz wireless environments.
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless operates on a super-fast tier spectrum with roughly 20X the bandwidth, and a True 8K polling rate provides up to 8,000 Hz report rate, which results in faster response times, more accurate tracking, reduced input delay and smoother cursor movement. To fully unleash the power of 8K on LE-UWB™ wireless, the Sensei Pro and Rival Pro Series mice are equipped with SteelSeries’ Infinite Power System, featuring hot-swappable batteries for uninterrupted gameplay, which equates to “8K all day.”
SPARK LE-UWB™ is the exclusive connectivity platform for SteelSeries’ new Sensei Pro and Rival Pro portfolio, the first LE-UWB™-powered mouse portfolio in the world to eschew legacy 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth LE and wired connectivity.
“Conventional wireless connectivity compromises the performance metrics that matter most to competitive gamers. LE-UWB™ is the next evolution, and SteelSeries collaborated with SPARK to deliver a new industry-leading innovation and premium products that outperform gamers’ expectations,” said Fares Mubarak, CEO of SPARK Microsystems. “That’s powerful validation and proof positive that a generational transformation is underway in gaming connectivity.”
