I realize there are a few threads about this mouse,
I just noticed there are literally hundreds of
posts on the topic, and if someone interested in the mouse wants just a quick idea, they can go here.

Enjoy!

Great review. Get some NyQuil for that cold :)

30 minutes is fuckin overkill for a mouse review. No ones gonna watch that

I kinda agree #3, I did kind of bored and I was about to edit my post to address this, but I see you kindly did it yourself. He's sick and I can see that he's a bit slow on his processing / talking, so lets cut him some slack.

i dont have time to watch all the vids, can you rate it out of 10 or something

edit: Real cool of you to take the time to do this*

@#3
I agree, and I considered that,
that's why I made the Table of Contents in
the description.

I made it long just for those who wanted all they could get,
and believe me, there'd be the people who would ask,
"Hey, can you do a test for 3200, 3, 1.0"?
Or whatever.

Not so bad :) +fragged

@#5
It's hard to rate something absolutely, especially when there are so many gamer types.
It's much easier to be relative.
If I had to though:
8/10 for amateur gamers and/or high-sens gamers
5/10 for low-sens gamers and/or competitive gamers

The hard-to-predict nature of positive acceleration make it a little slot-mouse
That's a no go.
Who knows, maybe a firmware update could fix that.

#3 has it. All this mouse needs for review is:
HAS CORRECTION? YES.

www.pureesports.com www.aigaming.com

lol most pro gamers do not have have low sens the best players int he world use around 2.5+ which is medium or high.
Unless ur talking about american progaming where people use around 1.5.

!@#tUQue

@#10
Yeah, sorry, my quick grade in post 8
was misleading; it appears I suggest amateur and high-sens
are correlated.
What I am saying is if you are amateur and/OR use high-sens,
and for the second one, if you use low-sens and/OR are
competitive.

Sorry for the confusion

Edit: whatever, I'll just edit #8 =)

Btw there's a new driver version out for the Kinzu. Does anybody tested it so far concering any improvement? (mayb sensor wise)

Steelseries only gives undetailed information about 1.0.7

I just got the Kinzu and I'm really liking it. I have average hands and I'm coming from a MS 3.0 (yea, crazy change). But overall, I fell like I have more control while aiming with the Kinzu and there is no negative acceleration- so it really helps. I'm probably going to stick with it (and possibly try out the Xai). If you like a nice palm grip, then you shouldn't get the Kinzu- it's really a fingertip + claw type mouse, very very good for fast movements and quick aiming (cs1.6).

@#12

Does anybody ever look at the description of a movie before/while/after watching?
Should I put that I was using 1.0.7 as the title screen?

Kinzu 5/10
Pros
1.Great Size smaller hands(Claw/Finger grip)
2.Feels Perfect in my hand(Anti-sweat Material feels like silk lol)
3.Left/Right Handed
CONS
1. Tracking is awful for low sensitive gamers (IMPORTANT)
2. Does pick up on certain mousepads
3. CPI/DPI, I don't know if its just me but 400cpi isn't the same as 400dpi on my Mx518.(completely different senitivities with same settings. 6/11 windows 500hz polling rate.. WTFF

Overall its crap

yeah i noticed that the cpi doesnt really go along with the 400 dpi as my 1.1.
its alooooot faster.

ya I don't like the mouse much at all

have yall tried the new driver?.. i think it feels alot different now, at least for me.

This comment was edited at 10/15/2009 7:59 PM

i didn't know there was another driver i've used 1.0.7 since i got it.

!@#tUQue

Neat review there, exemplary comparasion.
Kinda offtopic, but is anyone else having similar issues with the Diamondback 3G as Orange? I was fairly certain that DA and DB3G had same sensors untill now.

the guy doing the review is a total noob. their is nothing wrong with this mouse. buy it.

esportsea.com/users/143889

mouse feels nice but the sensor is wacky. dont buy it.

coming from guy who says

Man, you're a bit overzealous. All the fanboyism's not going to get you a free Xai from SteelSeries.

I've got a little question for you.

How can I fix the negative/positive accerlation? I bought the kinzu with the expectations of not getting the negative accerlation (or any kind of accerlation) I get from the 1.1SE/A/ETC!.

So is there a way I can fix this? Because I need perfect tracking..

I sex liQuidmoTion, twice

No, there is not.

=]

#24

from what I heard the cause of the negative acceleration is the mouse feet, buy the 0.18mm mousefeet to replace the original, then voila.

But I can't help you with positive acceleration though.

#26

I had a pair of 1.1 skates laying a round so I put them one the mouse. It does definitly go a little bit smoother, but I still got extreme amounts of negative accerlation. I can live with positive but.. this is almost impossible.

As I play on professional basis.

I sex liQuidmoTion, twice

i'm returning the kinzu and getting a krait

#27 I think the height might be causing tracking problems.

#27 so does f0rest

#30 f0rest doesnt use kinzu anymore he went back to krait after 3 weeks of kinzu!

#27

the 0.18 mm is thinner than the original mousefeet, which eliminates the neg accel.

i have the original mx300 for sale in near perfect condition :)

#32

Where can I get them?

I sex liQuidmoTion, twice

#31 lol? last pics from dubai dont agree

A little update from this side

I removed all the mousefeet, completly.. I get less acceleration, which is good! Now we need to find a way to solve all of it!

I sex liQuidmoTion, twice

so far 0.18 mm is the way to go, and if you want the mousefeet, contact terminator99_1@hotmail.com on msn

He's out of stock, 2bad..

I sex liQuidmoTion, twice

#31 f0rest is still using kinzu at events he used it at the last event that he won against mym

!@#tUQue

#39 I'm pretty sure he's using the krait ! :D

im sorry to upset you BiChou but here's a picture of f0rest from dubai. I dont see a glowing mouse. now you are going to have to sell your krait and get a kinzu so u can be good like f0rest again.

!@#tUQue

you're right #41, f0rest is using the krait... how can he play with a mouse that has accel ? :s

niggа u dumb

? coo' u gangsta

#43 maybe his doesn't have accel. mine doesn't :)

#46

How come yours have not? Please do explain..

I sex liQuidmoTion, twice

#47 I don't know, but I don't get any accel or negative accel. I can get it to flip out if I move it TOO fast, but that is not going to happen in-game for me at least since I'm a medium-high sensitivity user, 4.4 ingame and 400CPI/500Hz at 6/11 windows. for quake live that is. in CS 1.6 I didn't get any accel/negative accel either.

I also cant make a perfect straight line #48 it goes wavey like this -----~~~~---

Annoying me like fck ;x

I sex liQuidmoTion, twice

#49 well that is because the kinzu has very little correction (which imo is good)
