The point of it is you get most of the goodness of the original Sensei mouse which costs $89 for only $59. It's actually more similar to the SteelSeries Diablo III mouse as far as features go. The only non-cosmetic difference I can see from the Diablo III mouse is that it has one on-board profile as opposed to none. This is actually important especially if you're left handed. That way you can essentially hard-wire the mouse into a left-handed configuration so you don't have to change the config. in S/W on all of your OS. If you move the mouse between multiple machines, with multi-boot, with a KVM, or simultaneously with a right hand mouse, this is huge. I own the SteelSeries Diablo III, Sensei, & Sensei Fnatic edition but I think the Sensei raw would be the best of the bunch. It has the option of a rubberized finish which the Sensei lacks and has the one onboard profile that the Diablo III lacks. I don't really care about the LCD display and 4 extra on board profiles on the Sensei & Sensei Fnatic or the 16.8 million colors on the Sensei. I think it looks the best out of the 4 as well not to mention it's $10 cheaper than the Diablo III. As far as I'm concerned this is the best mouse available for lefties.
