I think the accel is gone now im using 800dpi 500hz can anyone else verify?
November 25th, 2009 04:30
No body verify ?
November 25th, 2009 05:45
It still DOESN’T fix anything about kinzu’s positive acceleration !!!
I’ve tried all the DPI and USB rate settings, still doesn’t work out for my mouse
plz !!!!!!!
November 25th, 2009 06:13
@ daniel :
I myself also DO TEST with 800dpi and 500hz, still a huge acceleration !
November 25th, 2009 07:05
ATLEAST THEY’RE SUPPORTING AND UPDATING….. you can’t be serious if you want all the problems to be fixed with 1 or 2 updates. Just have more patiance, I’m sure the guys from Steelseries will fix them with a couple of updates in the near future. :)
November 25th, 2009 07:25
Still a joke to sell this crap as “pro gaming” mice.. I mean positive acceleration that you can’t fix on a mouse, in 2009, wth.
November 25th, 2009 07:34
I don’t feel the acceleration anymore during playing. BUT there is still the acceleration. When i slip the mouse slowly there is no acceleration, mid speed there isnt still but when i slip it fast i feel the acceleration. So, high sensitivity players should’nt feel the acceleration anymore at all.
Now the mouse is ALMOST perfect IMO. Just have to buy new mouseskatez which isn’t possible yet (?) and friends prefer buying the DOT too so i think i have to buy it also.
THX ALOT for the newest update and I hope other ppl don’t mind of the little acceleration.
November 25th, 2009 07:48
Actually the acceleration, at least for me, helps aiming alot. I mean if u slip the mouse very fast it might be annyoing for the low, low/mid and mid sensitivty players but when u try to aim the enemy the mouse kinda just goes to where ever u want it to go. :D This might sound weird but i mean that the acceleration hasn’t made by mistake that there is a reason why they put the acceleration on it.
I.M.O remember that :D
Dunno how ppl could play with the old updates. I mean the pro players (at least f0rest) didnt feel the acceleration at all. When i asked him about the acceleration he just said “Sry, can’t help you, cause i’m the one who can’t feel the acceleration). With old drivers there was WAY too much acceleration. I still found it annyoing when i used CPI 400, 6/11 and 4 sensitivity ingame. THAT’S VERY HIGH SENSITIVITY I mean it was crazy back then. But now, with new drivers i feel more comfourtable.
November 25th, 2009 10:31
So what is exactly fixed??
November 25th, 2009 11:35
re. KInZU
you can find the mouseskates @ 99hk.biz ;)
i’m using it now, it’s great
the 1.0.9 fixed my random power issue which is a miracle to me coz it has been killing me for months.
dunno how f0rest play wif “No Driver”. but i’m kinda used to his config =D
November 25th, 2009 13:39
@ kinzu :
f0rest stop using kinzu after few weeks, now he uses krait again ! haha
and how can you say it’s perfect with acceleration ??
sorry but I cannot play when I want my mouse to turn 30 degree but it becomes sometimes 40, some 42, some 45, some 33 v.v.. it’s so random and useless for high-level game
November 25th, 2009 14:33
Just buy ZOWIE GEAR bundle, great pad and a working mouse, no stupid accel
November 25th, 2009 15:49
that`s right, f0rest don`t use the kinzu anymore since weeks (for example @ WCG) !! and you will see that at WEM when fnatic is playing.
the xai performance is ok - BUT only at my razer pad !! on my QCK heavy it has tracking problems - wtf ? that`s really weird and i don`t want to buy the 9D extra for xai O_o i hate plastic pads.
and about my kinzu : the new driver fixed my shut off problem and my cpi/hz settings if i turn on the pc doesn`t chance anymore
so 2 problems are now fixed thanks steelseries. only the pos acceleration is present !!
November 25th, 2009 17:39
Please fix the positive acceleration!!! :(
November 25th, 2009 18:12
how to use kinzu expansion button??
please tell me about it !
November 25th, 2009 21:41
f0rest still uses kinzu he used it at WCG here is proof now get off your high chair.
watch the third video when he lifts up his hand that is not a krait.

November 25th, 2009 23:30
fanboy alert ? i don`t f****** care which “pro” is playing with which mouse o_O i like the kinzu because of it`s shape and weight. the mouse is perfect for me as casual gamer - i don`t need laser sensor and sidebuttons
new driver is good it fixed my shut off problems now :)
still i have positive accel, but i can live with that, i`m a casual gamer not a pro/tournament player
@robocop, chrono & daniel
what`s forest favourite food ?
get a life boys thx
November 26th, 2009 05:26
@ daniel:
I think they use XAI ’cause I dont’ see the redlight (kinzu use optical sensor) when they lift the mouse off
@ orion :
i’m not a fan of f0rest, i also dont care who player is playing with which mouse. what I care more is how they play in-game
I like the shape of kinzu and all I need is Kinzu mouse has to work normally ( not positive acceleration )
thanks !
November 26th, 2009 17:29
FUCKING GET A DRIVER FOR THE 5h v2 USB HEADSET that supports windows 7 !
November 26th, 2009 20:14
@robocop:
u can’t see the laser without actually lifting up the mouse. its not like the 3.0 where the back part is lit up or anything.
November 27th, 2009 05:52

you can see the albums here, this is my friend’s album (he’s the admin of the esport website)
and he tells me fnatic all use XAI !
anyway i will wait for another 1 month then I will sell my kinzu. i’m ending my hope :))
November 27th, 2009 23:00
@robocop
none of these pictures really show :s unless u see one i don’t i hear the xai is nuts tho :o
November 28th, 2009 03:44
please fix the positive acceleration
November 28th, 2009 13:08
Hello,
i have still positive acceleration. and when i turn on my pc, my 500hz + 400dpi settings are not activated. i have always to start the kinzu config and press apply !!!! -.-
pls fix !!!!
November 28th, 2009 21:35
Still some positive acceleration ( only with some real fast movements/flickshots though ) hope it will be fixxed soon :) for the rest an awesome mouse.
btw for those complaining about the mousefeet ( they are indeed worthless, tested on qck heavy )
just buy some steelseries MS glides ( intelli 1.1/3.0 glides ) they will fit perfect under your xai/kinzu aswell ;)
PS: bought my kinzu today, almost immediatly replaced them with ss glides ^^
November 30th, 2009 21:05
“Don’t buy Steelseries products” is now the message I’m spreading.
After spending 70€ on a mouse (Xai) one would expect it to atleast track properly.. Wrong.
Well atleast you must get a good customer support for that money? It’s been over 3 weeks now when I reported the tracking issues via proper channels. There has been no word.
They just want your money using the faces of some CS players who claim to use their products. Altho it’s impossible to play competitive on these products.
SteelSeries is all about marketing. Too bad I had to find it out this way.
December 1st, 2009 02:28
Actually this makes me wonder if the “high dpi/cpi” marketing game is the root cause for all these. I started seeing all these mouse start-up-unresponsive and skipping mouse issue occasionally with 4000dpi lachesis. now the same seems to be reported for 5000cpi xai.
They are either too sensitive for some tracking surface or might be teething problems for these high res sensors.
Seems like based on past experiences with IMOs, my current sidewinder X3 feels more sturdy.
December 1st, 2009 02:42
@ dmt :
actually it is “don’t buy steels mouses”. they seem to have problems with their mouses. their mousepads and headphones are pretty awsome :D . and to be honest, their customer service is so good. last year, I bought a Ikari in USA and get in replaced in VietNam within 5 days, amazing :D
@ artic :
And I dont know why they(manafacturer) always try to produce the mouse with so high CPI/DPI ?? when obviously nobody will use the mouse with that so high speed ?? high CPI/DPI proves nothing to the quality of the mouse.
Does it make sense when you use the mouse with 3200DPI/CPI or higher and you turn down your windows sensitivity to 1/11 ??
Look at the legendary Microsoft IE 1.1 and 3.0. The shape and the tracking sensor are the most important part of the mouse not the speed of the mouse (which can be speed up easily in windows mouse sensitivity). Though IE1.1 and 3.0 suffer some skipping-problem but it’s fixed easily with 500hz on them (default 125hz)
December 1st, 2009 03:23
@robocop
I’m guessing it is just misguided marketing hype for “one-up-manship”, me-better-than-you comparison for kids that don’t know better. Example, even if so called pro-gramers use only up to 2000dpi, selling a 2000dpi mouse would seem inferior compared to Razer’s 4000dpi for example.
December 1st, 2009 03:34
As I remember, Steelseries have some articles claim that high DPI and CPI is nothing
http://www.fragyou.net/?page_id=24
and they say some when being interviewed on gotfrag.com :D
it’s funny to see that
“All kinds of different manufacturers promise the Holy Grail when it comes to describing what their mice can do. Laser technology, 4.000 DPI, a high number of buttons, Burst-Fire-Button, glowing colors, gold-plated USB connectors and “always on hyper ultra something” are just some of the features that are offered to us, in the mouse manufacturers quest of making their potential customer one of the top gamers in the world. According to these companies every top gamer would be even better when using a 4.000 DPI laser mouse. “For gamers by gamers”, “created for gaming”, “the ultimate gaming mouse”, “hardcore gaming” – you’ll find all these statements, and many more, when browsing today’s gaming mice.”
December 1st, 2009 10:56
@robocop
Well those comments are obviously lifted from Razer’s marketing buzz word. When your box is next to Razer, what’s on the print matters a lot since nothing else can be compared on the shelf. Would an average kid / wannabe pick a 2000 CPI mice over 5600 DPI glowing mice when confronted with both on a shelf? ;-)
December 1st, 2009 11:52
@ arctic
I know it !
but what if this kid becomes like dmt. go everywhere keep telling his friends not to buy kinzu mouse because of his bad experience :D
bad effect huh ? :D
haha we’re chatting while waiting for the new update from steels :D
December 1st, 2009 14:03
In the end it’s always about the money, every company does.
Though I really hope SteelSeries will come with a fix fast, because I’ve always been happy with their products.
December 2nd, 2009 07:10
robocop….there is a guy in gaming gear box of igame.vn still claim that f0rest use Kinzu and he cant fell the positive acceleration xD
December 2nd, 2009 11:00
@ cold =DDD
haha who cares =DDD you’re from vietnamese, too ? :D :D :D
f0rest use XAI :D
December 2nd, 2009 13:58
no rocobop he still uses kinzu ;) you can see it on the pictures, since the xai has a small let above the scroll, and the kinzu doesn’t ;)
December 2nd, 2009 16:15
Goddamnit, my mouse sometimes freezes for a couple seconds up to 5 seconds, the red light still is on then though..
December 5th, 2009 10:31
1.0.10 driver out, download test and comment now.Lets see if the problems are fixed or we need to spam their supports yet again :DDDDDdddd
December 5th, 2009 15:32
so does the new driver fix anything?
December 5th, 2009 17:09
new driver is only with updated software, the 2.9.20 firmware is still the same, so it doesn’t fix the neg accel.
btw my poweroff problem seems to be fixxed, changed USBport and installed the software again. I hope it stays this way
December 5th, 2009 18:32
I still have to test the new drivers
December 5th, 2009 18:50
Did they actually updated the firmware or only software?
December 5th, 2009 22:09
after testing it so carefully, I must say the lastest update improves the performance alot. There is not so annoying acceleration now, but still get some acceleration.
Hope the next one will make kinzu the perfect tracking mouse
December 7th, 2009 03:05
Hi. I am in charge of product development for SteelSeries. Here’s some feedback on what we are doing for Kinzu tracking performance.
Mouse tracking is complicated and there are numerous tradeoffs in the parameters to optimize performance at all speeds. We acknowledge that we had positive acceleration, especially on 800 and 1600 CPI. Actually the tracking at fast speeds was pretty good but the tracking at slow speeds was too slow which would lead to a feeling of positive acceleration. We released SW version 1.0.9 to fix it at 800 CPI and then we just released version 1.0.10 to do the same thing at 1600 CPI.
We hope that you see an improvement when using these releases. Make sure you hit the Apply button after opening the SW. The SW doesn’t actually do anything but modify some of the parameters in the mouse memory, but the parameters are not changed until you hit Apply.
We will continue to gather user feedback and conduct tests on parameter changes and will probably have additional releases in the future. We’ll keep trying to make it better and better.

Hi, I am using the Kinzu at 1600 CPI and just installed 1.0.10.
Now the Kinzu seems to skip pixels (but only at 1600 CPI, which makes sense with the information Arnie provided) when moving. “Pixel-perfect” aiming is not possible anymore (only at other CPI-values).
Another thing that occured only after the update: the Kinzu freezes several seconds every hour or so.
Are there others with similar problems?
December 7th, 2009 15:04
Blue, try to plug the mouse in another USB stick, it seem to have get rid of my poweroff/freeze problem
December 7th, 2009 17:32
800 and 1600 has some problem?
but Im using Kinzu at 400 CPI and alway + accel
hope u fix it with 1.0.11 firmware plz
December 8th, 2009 06:06
i love the kinzu, and with the recent updates it feels just perfect , the tracking sensor is awesome, just there is this little accel that sometimes is quite annoying.
But anyway I’m glad they’re responding to user feedback and actually are improving this mouse.
December 9th, 2009 05:50
the mouse is much better now compare to the original kinzu !
although there’s still minor acceleration (i’m using 800dpi)but I hope steelseries will release the new software/firmware that make kinzu the perfect mouse :d
December 10th, 2009 04:36
The Kinzu has not changed one bit for me since I bought it. It might have something to do with Windows 7 x64, but the acceleration has stayed the same on every DPI/CPI count and every Hz count.
December 10th, 2009 08:06
@ Ethan:
I use kinzu with 800dpi/1000hz pretty well with my laptop using Vista home premium 64bit, and use it well with windows XP at my cyber Lan
so maybe the problem is wins 7 ?? oO
December 11th, 2009 12:04
I got win7 64bit aswell, and it’s working good. Be sure to have RTM version though
Had problems with getting intelli 3.0 on 500hz to when I was still using the Release candidate (RC) of win7.
December 12th, 2009 02:35
Latest drivers: skips pixels @1600 cpi and freezes @3200cpi.
I don’t care about the accell, i’m kinda high sensitive , but those problems killing me off.
Gonna plugin my old deathadder till news …
Kinda disappointed.
December 12th, 2009 04:24
I didn’t mean that Windows 7 was the reason for the acceleration, I was implying that maybe the fact all of these software updates didn’t effect my mouse is because of Windows 7. I have used this mouse on Windows XP and I still get massive amounts of acceleration.
December 14th, 2009 01:00
Ok, i resolved the freezes/poweroff mouse got @3200 DPI, it was just the mousefeets too large.
Playing with the default one is perfect but it isn’t smoothly like i want so i just keep them off and play without mfeets till i get some good 0.18mm feets.
Still 1600 skips pixels :|
December 14th, 2009 14:01
Just get SteelSeries MS Glides ( microsoft/intelli ones ) and put them under your kinzu/xai, works perfect.
December 14th, 2009 22:56
I just tested 800DPI and 1000Hz today randomly, and there is no more acceleration, at least on those settings.
December 14th, 2009 22:58
Actually, I lied. There is still a ridiculous amount of acceleration on those settings.
December 15th, 2009 14:59
ethan it looks like you have only bad luck with your kinzu. after steelseries released the 1.0.8 driver, my skipping and acceleration problems are completely gone, when i play on my old 4D pad.
it looks like 90 % of the kinzu users have no problems anymore since the 1.0.9/1.0.10 updates. well i couldn`t find any more problem reports in forums, only from a few people like you here @ frag you.
i can`t blame steelseries for that, because it`s normal that there a problems at the beginning. i remember the time when razer released the deathadder. the first 4 months this mouse was a piece of shit, now it`s one of the most popular gaming mouses in the world. i`m sure the kinzu and xai will be popular too.
look a the WEM masters, some players of the chinese pro teams wNv and tyloo or fnatic|f0rest (you can see it at pictures for proof!!) playing with the kinzu. they wouldn`t play with it when this mouse is bad
the kinzu mouse is now working great for most people now. so ethan, plz stop tell the whole world since weeks, how bad the steelseries support is, or what kind a piece of shit the kinzu mouse is, only based on your own bad experience.
it`s nothing against you personal ethan.
gl hf in the future
December 15th, 2009 23:58
skips at 1600CPI for me too (1.0.10).
waiting for update/firmware.
December 16th, 2009 01:43
Regarding Kinzu feet, we now have replacement feet available. They are available in teflon which is the same material used on our Xai and Ikari. Teflon glides with less friction than the feet that come on Kinzu. So you can pick the amount of friction you want. The replacement feet will be available on our website in the next couple of days. Arnie
December 16th, 2009 11:34
Arnie, going through comments it seems people (including myself) at 1600CPI have skipping problems since the 1.0.10 update, good work on the rest but need update 1.0.11 for the skipping @ 1600CPI to be over.
December 16th, 2009 13:30
Nice Arnie, to bad they aren’t put under standard, as some people don’t even know you can even buy other mouseglides, a lot of people ( especially people using cloth, and a lot are ) will think this mouse is awefull, because it really glides awefull with the standard skates.
I can imagine you guys can’t send free mouseskates to every person that has bought the Kinzu, but it would be good for the future buyers to put them on standard. If you advert with a pro gaming mouse, I think that also includes pro mouse skates.
December 16th, 2009 18:08
I second that, mouse skates or teflon feet should come equipped.
I haven’t tested Kinzu without glidez, I put them on the moment I got home with the mouse, but I can imagine skatez were mandatory.
Still waiting for an update to fix the 1600 skipping. 3200 is just too high a sensitivity for windows (6th notch in the control panel is a must).
December 16th, 2009 19:57
@ deki:
I discovered, that when switching the CPI of the Kinzu, the Kinzu does not skip Pixels anymore at 1600 CPI - but only if you move the Kinzu very, very slowly. When moved fast, it starts skipping again. Same for you?
December 16th, 2009 20:45
@ blueslobster:
don’t really know what u mean with switching the CPI of the kinzu and then moving slowly or something, i just know that since i updated to 1.0.10 it started skipping, regardless if u move fast or slow. I’m currently using 800DPI 4/11 WIN as a replacement till i can use 1600 again.
I recommend the same to 1600CPI players until the update is done, 800 4/11 feels almost the same as 1600 3/11.
deki
December 16th, 2009 23:56
@bluelobster:
not for me, no. at 1600 it skips no matter how fast i move the mouse. however, since the skipping is of about 5px (i doubt it’s relative to the mouse speed), i have no chance of noticing that at high speeds.
December 17th, 2009 10:29
yep waiting for that pixel skip to be fixed and also my buttons does double clicks :(
December 17th, 2009 15:30
@1600cpi & 6/11 winspeed just try to draw something in paint to see it will skips 1-2 pixels.
using @3200cpi & 3/11 winspeed by now, but 6/11 like someone mentioned should be better :P
Anyway the skipping pixels looks like when you set Winspeed >6/11 like 10/11 that it skips pixels long segments of pixels…
December 17th, 2009 18:48
What I meant was the following: Set both CPI-modes of the Kinzu to 1600 CPI in the Kinzu-configuration. Click the button which switches between the two (in this case identical) CPI-modes.
After this, you should be able to move the Kinzu without it skipping pixels - but only if you move the Kinzu very slowly. If you move the Kinzu too fast, it starts skipping again …
Btw: When using 3200 CPI, you should use Windows-settings of 4/11 and not 3/11, when you want to imitate 1600 CPI at 6/11.

many people still have problems with kinzu here !
I’m using kinzu with 800dpi with 1.0.10 software version and it’s much better than before but STILL HAVE some minor positive acceleration.
gl hf !
December 20th, 2009 19:34
Yeah i have minor acceleration i would even prefer neg accel if there was not positive accel :P
December 21st, 2009 04:14
I still have MAJOR positive acceleration with the latest update. I can’t tell the difference from the original firmware and this one, at all.
December 21st, 2009 07:18
yeah its pretty frustrating it felt better but there is still positive accel its hard to be consistent when your hardware isn’t. the mouse feels accurate but then you have to deal with hardware inconsistencies
December 22nd, 2009 17:44
I have a kinzu, which I gonna use tomorrow for the first time, and I have read all the things everyone says about the positive acc. I just wonder, a basic thought - how often do you turn around 360 in any game without lifting your mouse up? I mean, is that acceleration even noticable? I will try to feel for myself, and stop imitating the problem. BUT if there is a positive acceleration which works as a disappointment in game, well than that sucks, and steelseries should fix that!
December 22nd, 2009 20:00
well its not that everyone does 360’s you get acceleration when swiping the mouse faster over a larger surface so the people that use medium and low sensitivities have problems and see the acceleration more often. i don’t see it often but its frustrating when it happens in a crucial moment.
December 23rd, 2009 19:20
when are low-sens people going to come to terms with the fact that their being unable to control their hand movement demands the hindering low sens.
there are CS players that use high sens. there are quake players that use huge sens.
rather then looking for the perfect mouse able to cover huge distances really fast, you should make changes in the way you play. stop mimicking top players, find your own style.
i have the kinzu and i am perfectly happy with it. the 1600cpi skipping forced me to use 3200cpi (6th notch windows) and i have adjusted to the speed increase in 24 hours.
December 23rd, 2009 19:37
Alex,
People shouldn’t have to change they way they play because of an incompetent mouse. The mouse should NOT have positive acceleration. I can understand negative acceleration, because that just means the sensor can’t keep up with the movements. It seems SteelSeries is trying to force an algorithm to compensate for the negative acceleration. I am sure almost 85% of people using the Kinzu would prefer negative acceleration over positive acceleration. If players wanted to use acceleration, they would do so via software commands, not because of their mouse.
December 24th, 2009 00:05
it seems i haven’t made my point.
had the difficulty of finding a good mouse been the only deterrent for low sensitivity, you would be right.
but, on top of that, low-sense players are hindered by their inability to turn quickly.
i will give them that valve is yet to include an accel tweak in CS, but still:
1. good mice are hard to find;
2. slow turning;
3. wearing mice and pads quicker;
4. big space requirements.
the answer to all is high sense and they ignore it.
December 25th, 2009 08:11
alex is an idiot
December 25th, 2009 16:46
Fact: Low sensitivity is more consistent and more precise.
Why do they need to change? They don’t. There are plenty of mice out there that can handle a low sensitivity, the SteelSeries Kinzu is not one of them.
The answer is not high sensitivity.
December 25th, 2009 21:42
why doesn’t steelseries let us modify the firmware ourselves so we can do tests as well.
I would like an update steelseries!!
December 28th, 2009 17:15
I like the mouse form, but this acceleration and mousefeets really sucks :/

I really like the slower mousefeet feels more accurate to me. but come on steelseries another update to perfect this mouse!

@ daniel d:
I guess that not even SteelSeries has access to the firmware part that affects the sensor and the tracking algorithms. Probably they have to wait for a fix from Avago like we do.
@ alex:
The Xai doesn’t have linear acceleration, like you can activate in your settings, so it affects low sensers and high sensers alike. There is no acceleration at all when you change your movement speed from medium to high. But somewhere between very slow and slow/mid moves, there is an elevation of speed.
So after all it probably affects high sensers even more because they have to do more of the slow moves than low sensers.
And I tell you one more thing: In the end it doesn’t matter much if you are using high or low sens. It’s much more important to match your sens to the mousepad you use (probably the most important thing!), to the shape of the mouse and your own ability of either doing extremely small, precise moves or doing extremely fast moves.

25Hz / 800cpi / Windows Mouse Acceleration OFF
No bugs. Test.
January 12th, 2010 15:26
* 125Hz
January 12th, 2010 16:31
Which one? Kinzu?
Xai is definately not affected by changing dpi or rates and acceleration is off of course.
January 12th, 2010 18:53
Yes, Kinzu…
January 12th, 2010 22:56
when you say acceleration off do you mean unchecked point precision. or do you mean mousefix .

Is Any One Using Steelseries Ms Glides On Kinzu Like Lurppis From Team EG PLease Could You Post A Picture Of How to place them under the mouse Picture Must show the kinzu Thanks Much Appreciated.

Sorry for the bad quality, here is how i’ve placed my MS glides:

Remove the original glides first then place them like this ( I just held my old intelli 3.0 next to it so for some good placements )

soooo when is there going to be another update steelseries? There is still accel now and then if u can get an update for that it will be an amazing mouse.
February 17th, 2010 23:35
Well, i just fixed this.
First my cpi settings were CPI1 3200 and CPI2 3200. Pulling Rate 1000, Acceleration off.
And i had some shitty acceleration in game, after instaling CPL mousefix it was the same, and may other ways the acceleration was still there.
And now comes the funny part :)
I just changed CPI1 to 3200 and CPI2 to 1600, unpluged and pluged my mouse in…and that was it…no more acceleration for me.
I just f*** lol’d :)
February 18th, 2010 13:51
Firmware version? 1.10?
February 18th, 2010 19:49
1.0.10 i think :)
February 24th, 2010 18:10
1.10 would be nice, though. How about some news about the progress?
March 24th, 2010 22:39
I bought my first Steelseries product and maybe is my last one.
I have the last firmware and I have positive acceleration and he seems to skip pixels at 1600.
Pease fix the problems!
March 27th, 2010 21:17
yeah :( there hasn’t been a fix for a while and there might not be.
March 28th, 2010 08:04
I though prediction wasnt present in 800dpi?
March 29th, 2010 15:54
it still has prediction, please fix this ://
March 29th, 2010 19:59
sorry, i mean positive accel, i though it isnt present in 800dpi?
March 31st, 2010 02:11
No is not, but now we have the cursor who skip some pixels
March 31st, 2010 02:54
Think that the positive accel if made there on purpose to fix neg accel on high speeds, great and for now SS isnt going to update the firmware of this mouse, both xai and kinzu have accel, what a dissapointment.

The mouse still is skipping pixels at 1600 CPI which makes it a torture to use it at this setting. In addition the mouse sometimes freezes or jumps wildly overy the screen.
Aside the one post from “Arnie” (Post #44), there has been no communication regarding the Kinzu problems whatsoever.
My support-ticket never was answered.
I suggest to keep your Kinzu if it does not freeze and you dont have to use it at 1600 CPI. Otherwise I would get rid of it because it seems like danield suggested: it does not look like there is going to be a fix - ever.
April 26th, 2010 18:38
Give up already lol, they are not gonna fix it, if they could it would be fixed earlier wouldn’t it?
April 28th, 2010 19:03
@ S:
never give up hope !
:D At least if they could, they should release the new mouse with same as kinzu shape but no-acceleration sensor. I will buy it definitetly
June 26th, 2010 14:07
Steelseries:
Good mousepads, nice headsets, CRAP MICE!
June 28th, 2010 04:25
Annoying skipping at 1600CPI.
I’ve replaced Kinzu by Abyssus.
