I've been going through kinzu support for the mice turning off they told me to try this.
This update was released two weeks ago I never noticed but my mouse hasn't been turning off as much check it out.

"Sorry for the delay. We've recently released new software for the Kinzu. Please try installing it before returning your mouse.

1. Download the newest Kinzu software from www.steelseries.com/download
2. Install / update the software on your computer by double clicking the downloaded file.
3. Start the Kinzu software (This should start automatically after install/upgrade).
4. Press the "Apply" button once – this will update your mouse with the latest firmware settings.

Let me know if that fixed the issue."

The new software update 1.0.7 (?) fixed my random power issues, it did NOT fix the positive acceleration.

#9: Because SteelSeries taught them that correction is bad and that LED lights or weights won't make you any better.

Correction wouldn't cause my mouse to move a full 30-60 degrees further in a faster mouse swipe.

I just got this mouse and im going to return it tomorrow. The reason why is because of the mouse feet. It glides horribly on my QcK. The mouse feet on this mouse is meant for hard pads.

#13 definitely not. it sucks even harder on hard pads. you can get new ones from china for about 8$ or so shipped, from the owner of www.99hk.biz - I made a thread about it a few days ago.

I think the mouse feet are better than normal. I prefer to actually have to use a little force to move it rather than have it slide.

I cannot stand the positive acceleration. Made me not use the mouse since Day 1 of me buying it.

#19 it's actually pretty obvious. when you swipe fast, it goes like 40degres more than if you just swiped in a "normal" speed

its only acceleration at 30% and that's when you swipe FAST. if you go slowly, it won't move slow so thats alright

I WILL make a video Kinzu review when I get my Creative Vado today, I will show the positive acceleration in that video as well. Hopefully I can post it up here before I go to GXL.

#9, ikari optical has one of the best sensors.. the shape is just garbage.

Kinzu is way too small.. it even hurts my wrist too much friction with my QcK Heavy@!

wtf ! i hate this mouse . it has positive acceleration :((

I usually play at pro level =DD

btw, positive acceleration is, as usual, when you move your mouse 30cm - it turns 360 degree in game. with kinzu you get sometimes 380 and sometimes 400

f*cking annoying

another kinzu driver has been release 1.0.8 check it out let me know how it affects your performances im about to test it it feels different after applying the firmware on a new profile.
I also read on a chinese site where a guy did tests that 800dpi did next to no pos accel and a little neg accel which is amazing :)

I am not going to be forced to use a different DPI. If a certain DPI is hindered it is a broken mouse in my eyes and they shouldn't support that DPI. It also didn't fix my positive acceleration.

#29
Same thing, it didn't fix mine either.

This is the first mouse I have ever used that has natural positive acceleration. I can deal with a lot of negative acceleration, but not positive.

My Kinzu also has a low malfunction speed, which no one can deal with.
