Is it possible for different mouse drivers to work on different mouses, for example, I have a steel-series sensei black-ops 2 edition, would it be possible to download the normal steel-series drivers for the mouse? I want to know your thoughts about it.

I'm gonna say yes it's possible... since mouse drivers are very expensive to write, A LOT of the code is copied over and virtually all mouse drivers by the same company are practically the same. Worst case you can make it compatible with minimal changes, or a fancy upper level filter...

However you can download everything you need at steelseries.com/us/support/downloads, so I don't see why this would be an issue for you =)

Download it and install it with windows driver manager. Then by default it will use the driver when you plug in your mouse.

Umm... no?
It's a different mouse, just download the drivers for that edition.
For example the steelseries sensei vs the steelseries sensei raw edition.
The raw edition doesn't have as many features as the regular sensei, and that is reflected in the driver window.
So go to the site and download the specific driver for the mouse.
Idk how this is a hard concept
if it doesnt actually add features though its technically the same mouse so the regular drivers should be fine.

Edit:
Besides, most drivers require you to have the matching mouse to the driver basically. Like if you use razer synapse 2.0 (for Razer mice) it requires you to identify the mouse so it recognizes that you have, say, a Razer deathadder 2013 edition, then it gives you the proper options.
I dont think steelseries has an all in one driver option (maybe im wrong), but either way, I use a sensei and you can just go and download the mouse drivers from their webpage.
