Steelseries recently unveiled a pair of mice that aims to shake up the PC gaming market. The Sensei Pro and Rival Pro, along with its Mini variants, are set to release on November 15 at a launch price of $179.99. New tech doesn't come cheap, but these mice promise to deliver several unique features to justify that hefty price tag. Among them include Steelseries' ingenious hot-swappable battery system for what is essentially unlimited battery life, as well as high-speed ultra wide band connectivity to avoid 2.4GHz congestion.

The Sensei Pro and Rival Pro are essentially the same mouse with one primary difference: the Sensei Pro features a symmetrical layout that accommodates both right- and left- handed gamers. The Rival Pro adopts an ergonomic layout that's catered specifically for right-handed users. Both are also available in a "Mini" sized variant for smaller hands.

Amongst the bevy of features packed in the Sensei Pro and Rival Pro, one stands out in particular, and that's the infinite battery system. This is essentially a hot-swappable battery system much like what you'll find in the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro and Omni headsets, which I consider to be one of the best gaming headets on the market for this reason. The mice basically include two removable, rechargeable batteries: one to use in your mouse and the other to remain charged and ready to go in the base station that doubles as a charger. You won't be constantly swapping during each session either; each battery lasts up to 120 hours on a single charge.
