Any1 tested SteelSeries kinzu?

In an ongoing attempt to remain on same skilllevel without actually training, I fell for the marketing and bought the kinzu optical Big grin

First impressions of kinzu - Omg, it's so small and light! I must say I really like it, and price wasnt that bloddy either.

Update after a almost a week:
After some days of testing it, I cant make heads or tail of it.
For something like 15-20cm/360 it works darn good. But when you go lower you tend to move fast to get a 180 degree turn, and I've noticed some problems here. Either it provides native possitve accell OR you hit speedlimit and u get negative accell, its really hard to controll on my desired sens. So low sens users should look at another mouse.
If u use 3200 cpi, you will get really funky buffered movements (Your mouse isnt moving, but the cursor is moving on screen.) when you hit speedlimit.

Glidz - Not good, but hopefully they will wear down quickly Happy

Positive: The scroll is great and drivers simple (not really needed, kinzu have 500 hz default) just plug n play.

I would recommend this mouse to midsens players that is looking for a small and LIGHTweight mouse, that would be it's greatest strenght.

I Have been using mx518 before, but it broke down yesterday. The mx518 is a great mouse but there is something that's been bugging me about cursor placement when making diagonally movements. (Horizontal and vertical is np though.) The kinzu does a better job at this.

The mouse have some flaws though, Really low low LOW sens users should probably look at another mice, since it can't keep up. For normal sens around 30-35cm/360 there is no problem and traction and precision is great. IMO it can compare to Deathadder without problem. Seems like the limit is around 40cm/360 on this mouse. The scroll is great and drivers simple (not really needed, kinzu have 500 hz default) just plug n play.

rather sounds like wmo in a new shape.
