Q: What are the differences between the H wireless and 9H drivers? They are 40mm, but are they basically the same or are they differentely tuned?
A: They are two very different drivers - tuned for two very different types of housings. All dynamic speaker drivers are "basically the same", but there are lots of tweaks that come into play when designing acoustics. So everything from the magnet selection to the mylar construction is individual for these two drivers.
Q: What sensor the Sensei Wireless uses? Is the Avago 9800 or 9500? The switches are the same as the Rival's? SS ones or Omrons?
A: ADNS 9800 with custom firmware. The switches are SteelSeries - same as Rival
Q: Are SteelSeries planning on releasing any other wireless versions of their gaming mice? It would be amazing to see a wireless Rival.
A: We believe that our wireless technology is now performing good enough for serious high end performance, so without explaining our product roadmap I wouldn't be surprised to find more wireless gaming mice in the future.
Q: Will the H Wireless come in multiple colors?
A: It's not in our plans right now.
Will the H Wireless come in multiple colors?
It's not in our plans right now.

Not this year. The Sensei Wireless will be the only wireless mouse to hit the marketing for us in 2014.
