Did you get the old Kinzu or the new Kinzu? I heard that the Kinzu V2 Pro Edition has most of the problems from its predecessors fixed. | ||

The jumping issue is fixed, but it still has a fairly low malfunction speed which is problematic for low sens players (less so in SC2 than other games, though), while also not being very good at high CPI settings. Most people are probably better off with the Kana than the Kinzu v2, for $5 more. It has cheaper feet and buttons, but it's got much better tracking (with the same sensor), plus the extra buttons. | ||

It's probably because the Kinzu has built in acceleration. That is, the faster you move the mouse the more the firmware increases the speed of the mouse cursor. While some people like it, most people don't as it drastically reduces the accuracy of the cursor and makes it difficult too build up muscle memory as the cursor doesn't always respond exactly the same to mouse input. | ||

I'll risk sounding elitist and highly suggest you use this thread instead: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=174311 It has far more information. | ||

I'd been looking forward to the Kana and the Kinzu v2 but I'm worried about the reports of poor behaviour at higher DPI. Interpolated or not, poor traction at officially advertised DPIs is not acceptable, especially considering that just getting a cheap mouse perfectly suited to one's hand (after trying a million) and doing essentially the same stuff as interpolation by moving the sliders can still get you not bad performance and comfort. Comfort is more important than technical details anyway. Good luck being able to make full use of non-accel, non-prediction etc. in an RTS game when your palm or finger muscles are screaming or you're just tired to forced to keep shifting your grip. I'm really not sure if I want to spend money on Kinzu v2 or Kana just to try them and be disappointed. Could try the Saphira from TT (it has prediction but anyway) but with the 4HD hard mat I should probably stick with laser mice (plus, the G9X did feel more precise when microing than my old mouse). But I'm beginning to think I like optical sensors better after all (not for the same reasons as initially when you simply avoided them because they were bad). Might end up getting an Ikari (I really like the way it's longer on the right side while being a right-handed mouse, that is well thought)... or simply keeping the A4-Tech for palming and getting a light-weight fingertipper/claw one for RTS. Basically, I want something that tracks well, is predictable, RSI-friendly, friendly to big palms and long fingers, two buttons and a wheel, no silly stuff on the sides, sensor right in the centre. And definitely not the weight of the G9X (and I'm talking without the weights). There is some luck finding this among optical mice but I can't name a single laser one to fit the description. At least as far as gaming mice are concerned. I've played SC2 with some office laser mice that felt great. A propos, anybody with the Saphira? | ||

EDIT: I love the numpad funtions, but even if you ignore it completely, it still has the most comfortable grip I've ever felt in a mouse, with a nice ringfinger rest for finger/claw grip (which is very stable imo) and the slight right tilt of it is very ergonomic. Plus it has that classic razer finger dip on the main mouse buttons which is ergo and makes clicking speedy, and finally it is a bit chunkier, but still not heavy, giving you plenty to hold onto, while still being able to throw it around quickly since it's light. I give it a 10/10 for SC2! | ||

I've heard so much about both it and the MSIE that I might as well give it a go just to experience the thing. You think it should be better than Kana/Kinzu v2 or TT's Azurues/Saphira more classical offer? If only it did NOT have the side buttons! (Although I've been experimenting with those lately.) | ||
