Everytime I go to a computer hardware B&M store to buy some component, I usually walk through the mouse/keyboard aisle even if I'm not buying any. I do so for two reasons: to keep track of new offerings in the market and to try my hands on whatever peripheral I happen to have on my wish list. When I got the review sample for the Sentey Aphelion I will be looking at today, the name seemed familiar but I couldn't place it on any mouse I've seen before. Up until now, Sentey was a name that I associated to a computer chassis or a power supply. It seems that the Florida-based company has come a long way since its 2001 inception, and a quick look at the Sentey website shows a respectable lineup of products including not only cases and power supplies, but also keyboards, mice, headsets, and gaming surfaces.

Part of the Elite Gamer Series, the Sentey Aphelion is a nice looking gaming mouse listed for $59.99 USD on the manufacturer website which places it right in the middle of its product price range. The Aphelion promises to enhance control, comfort and performance. To achieve this, Sentey equipped the Aphelion with an "Advanced 3D Two-Way Scroll Wheel", 3400 DPI capable PIXART PAW-3606 chipset, low friction PTFE feet, ergonomic side grip, 5+2 buttons, on-the-fly DPI selector and a companion software suite.
