SteelSeries ExactSense

ExactSense will adjust the Counts Per Inch (CPI) of the mouse, which determines the 

mouse’s “sensitivity”.  Raise the CPI, and the cursor on screen will move farther with the 

mouse.  Lower the CPI, and the cursor on screen will move less.

Note: The Sensei has a natural CPI of up to 5700.  If you need more sensitivity on your mouse than 
that, the mouse’s firmware is able to Double the CPI (DCPI) to up to 11,400.  Reaching the max DCPI 
is done by normally setting the CPI in the menu.

SteelSeries FreeMove

FreeMove decides the amount of path correction on your mouse.  Path correction is a 

default on most mice to compensate for less than ideal surfaces and prevent “jittery” 

movement.  However, the tradeoff is that the prediction is not always accurate for 

incredibly fine movements.  Setting FreeMove to high will allow for very straight lines, but 

lower settings will allow more precise control over the cursor.

SteelSeries ExactAccel

ExactAccel increases the acceleration of your mouse.  Think of it as a dynamic CPI 

adjustment.  The faster you move your mouse, the more the cursor will move.

SteelSeries ExactAim

ExactAim can almost be considered the opposite as ExactAccel.  Very slow, deliberate 

movements of the mouse are made with a dynamically decreased sensitivity in order to 

increase precision.

SteelSeries ExactLift

ExactLift sets the lift distance of the mouse.  Setting a lift distance too high may accidentally 

move the cursor when you try to reposition your mouse, while setting it too low may 

accidentally lose the tracking of your mouse while moving.  Try to find a right balance that 

is comfortable for your hand.

Polling Rate

ExactRate determines how frequently the computer samples the mouse for information.  

Increasing it will make the cursor even more accurate to direct mouse movements, but will 

require more resources (both in power and memory) from the computer.
