hey,

If anyone still has this problem, go to their official website:
http://steelseries.com/support/downloads

Download the 8MB software that comes for the mouse. Run the program, and change the Report Rate to 125Hz. It's been said before by one of the top posters, but "how" to do it wasn't mentioned.

This fixed my double click problem using the KINZU steelseries mouse

So I just did this.....and now the sensitivity is COMPLETELY fucked. Disabling the mouse acceleration doesn't seem to do a damned thing.

Any tips for configuring this mouse that eliminates the acceleration?

I just had the same problem but changing to 125Hz seems to have fixed it. Thanks very much :D

I have a SS Kinzu since at least 1year and a half, and I can say that I didn't have any problems at all.
I played a lot of CS1.6 and SC2 during that time.
I use the latest firmware and yeah, I used 500hz.

Imo it's a problem in your PC instead of the mouse

Unfortunately you can't disable or remove the acceleration problems on the V1 Kinzu, they are part of the sensor. This mouse is just awful unfortunately (very low malfunction speed, positive acceleration problems, lots of angle snapping (not necessarily bad)), and is even worse as it's in a size that many people want.

The V2 is somewhat improved, but still has a really low malfunction rate and is still very lacking compared to everything else on the market. :/

Acceleration is built into the firmware, I believe.

The reason why your sensitivity is "fucked" is because you drastically lowered the report rate. At 500hz, Windows is sampling data from the mouse 500 times a second, at 125hz this will only be happening 125 times a second (once every 8ms). Basically it's going to reduce your ability for fine motor control over the mouse, would be much more noticable at higher DPI/CPI settings.

I'm getting to a point where I would never reccomend anyone buying SS mice, Zowie has similar designs and shapes without all the problems SS seems to be having. I'm sure there are people who are happy with their SS mice, but I've been reading more complaints from SS owners than just about any other mice.

Does the report rate also affect clicking? Was this the cause of my problem? It seems to be fixed now, but I can't remember what I did.

In theory it could. I guess it all depends on how the firmware samples and reports button clicks. But either way the mouse has to take the button click information and store it in it's buffer until Windows samples the device. So in theory, I guess reducing the rate at which Windows samples the mouse could potentially elimiate double clicks?

Either way reducing the USB reporting rate is drastically reducing the functionality of the device, for the effect it has on the device's sensitivity and repsonsiveness. Granted the Kinzu is cheap, but that's taking away about 50% of what you are paying for. Kind of rediculous that SS hasn't fixed the issue.

Try a different mousepad, if it has problems on different surfaces then either your dpi settings were reset or the sensor is damaged and you should replace it.
