SteelSeries Xai beats the competition
The first review of SteelSeries Xai was released today in PC Games Hardware - Germany’s finest PC hardware print magazine with an estimated monthly readership of about 351.000.
With the remark: “SteelSeries Xai combines good ergonomic aspects, useful features and next-generation technology”, Xai received the best score and took home the TOP-PRODUKT award leaving a total of 9 other, competing gaming mice behind.
As mentioned earlier, Xai is shipping on October 30th. :)

Yeah, was reading that about half an hour ago. :)
Xai got best marks overall. It also leaves the G9x behind. ;)

I’m surprised the Xai got an award from that “n00b magazin” and beats the G9x, I thought that the Xai will be too simple for the PCGH :D

Sorry, but I disagree. Gamestar is more of a noob one. If you’d read things regularly, you’d definitely agree they ‘improved’ over the years. The only thing I dislike on PCGH is they keep things simple, maybe too simple (sometimes). And if you check out their advises on hardware (depending on certain budgets), you’ll agree they recommend pretty good parts.

I only meant their gaming peripherals reviews but you are right about Gamestar.
I haven’t read the review yet but I had always some/many things to criticize in the past.
To be fair PCGH isn’t a “esport hardware magazine”. ;)

I agree with that. Well, the review itself is kept quite simple and not really long. To be honest, I didn’t expect anything else than the Xai’ll beat any other mouse in PCGH, if they didn’t messed up the sensor. I say, Xai is most, let’s say, balanced mouse yet. Good sensor, fair weight, nice. And I think that’s why PCGH have chosen the Xai on top.

I meant “… weight, nice customization.” ^^

These people posted a scan of the magazine review. The lowest score is the best… The Xai looks quality
