SteelSeries Kinzu v2 Pro Edition Gaming Mouse Arrives in Europe

[Cristian_25H]

Without much fanfare, peripheral company SteelSeries has begun shipping in Europe one of its latest gaming mice, the tournament-grade Kinzu v2 Pro Edition. This new rodent measures 64 (W) x 36 (H) x 127 (D) mm and has an ambidextrous design, three buttons and a clickable scroll wheel, Omron button switches, Teflon feet enabling a low-friction glide, and a 3200 dpi optical sensor.

The Kinzu v2 Pro Edition also features a 1,000 Hz polling rate, a 2 meter braided cable, USB 2.0 connectivity, and comes in three color versions - black, red and silver. Currently only the black model is available and it costs 44.90 Euro. The global availability of this mouse is planned for early January.

I use the original Kinzu, its okay. The Sensei is one amazing mouse but its expensive and rightly so.

I'm about to make review on Steelseries Sensei and I don't see why are they bringing Kinzu v2 to Europe anymore. Maybe it's the price.

I have the XAI mouse and the 7G keyboard - top notch IMO - but pricey

Nothing at all. It has a sensor plagued with acceleration issues, and doesn't have side buttons, which makes it useless for me. Unless I'm buying the mouse to play Quake 3, Painkiller etc. only, I need the side buttons. The MX510/18 are very solid mice (you can see as it lasted for years) with a reliable optical sensor. None of these overexaggerated 3000-5000 DPI nonsense.

i can understand having ultra high sensors for Architecture or Photo/ Flash Progams, but for gaming not so much, Even the best gamers stick with one mouse setting.

 

[John Doe]

Thing is, they aren't accurate at those DPI's. Usually it's best off using a lower DPI (like 2000) with higher sensivity. Those laser sensors (Agilent) work best in that range.

 

[eidairaman1]

higher dpi just means more sensitivity for me but easier to jiggle the mouse alot easier which isnt good for certain tasks- very bad for games.

Reminds me of the Look Motion in XB or PS FPS games such- I set the look stick lower than default but not to lowest for best control (i tend to move the stick around in longer strokes than short ones in those games)
