A) My blog/site is not my job; I just do it for fun, although I have been a professional freelance writer for many years for various sites, magazines, etc. But this is mostly for fun.
B) I like the Sensei Raw. Never had any issues with it when I reviewed it years ago in FPS or any other games. My opinions are based on using the product, not numbers on a box or hypothetical speculation about things such as “sensor X is better for X kinds of games”. Also, they are opinions, as all reviews are.
C) My Nixeus contact never informed me the 2 versions were different. He only asked if I wanted to review a white or black one. Regardless, the white one is the one I reviewed. I’m not really obliged to mention the other one because I didn’t review it — but I added a couple notes about the black version of the Revel once my contact confirmed that they were different.
E) I made my reasons for the recommending the Sensei Raw as a possible alternative in the same price point clear in the review.

It does look (from pictures anyway) like the black one isn’t glossy, although when they offered to send me one to review they only asked “black or white” in the email, so assumed they were the same construction except for the color. However, take away the glossy plastic and it’s even better as a budget-level gaming mouse for sure. I’d still tend to recommend the SteelSeries Sensei Raw however. It offers more overall flexibility through its driver software, even if it doesn’t (currently) offer as high a maximum resolution (DPI).
