A couple months ago, we took a look at Cooler Master's SF-19 notebook cooler, a product from Cooler Master's CM Storm line of gaming-oriented peripherals. Today, we're going over their new Sentinel Z3RO-G gaming mouse, an updated version of CM Storm's older Sentinel Advance. With all the trappings of a very serious performance mouse—a 5600-dpi twin laser sensor, adjustable weights, and 128kb of onboard memory—the Sentinel Z3RO-G looks very promising. In addition, Cooler Master is cross-promoting the mouse with Shattered Horizon, a game by famous PC benchmark software studio Futuremark, and has included a copy of the game with the Sentinel Z3RO-G.

Of course, cost is an issue as well; you don't want something that you'll be afraid to toss into your back where it might get banged up. The Traveler 6000 pulls through on all these fronts.
