Functionally, the Sentry Mix is, well, functional. It does what it's supposed to and I have no complaints about it. Despite their structural differences, all the sliders move within the same physical range and provide the same amount of adjustment. The LED color selection button is a tad more recessed than is necessary, and were it raised just a little out from the faceplate, it would be much more comfortable. Just as with the Sentry Mesh, the Sentry Mix allows amps to course through its veins at no less than 4.8V. So, no matter what, the fans are spinning and keeping things from going "pop" in the night. Remembering which fan is controlled by which pot is easy since the cables and sliders are numerically labeled.
