So i got this mouse a few days ago, and it didnt quite feel right, i decided that it was just cos i wasnt used to it, and so i persisted. But then today it just felt really bad, and so i did some research, and found this. http://faq.steelseries.com/questions/194/Does the Kinzu have mouse acceleration?
basically my suspicions were right, the mouse has in built mouse acceleration (Its a gaming mouse with mouse acceleration? What the hell. honestly)
So anyone i obviously want to turn this off, mouse acceleration is the most useless thing ever, especially for gaming.
Does anyone have any experience with it? or know settings or programs that help out? or even a way to make it work in SC2, i can deal with acceleration out of game if it works in game.
i REALLY like the mouse, everything about it is good, light weight, good size, buttons nice to click etc, just the acceleartion is troubling me
EDIT: oh and im using a 23inch 1920 x 1080 LED monitor

If you really love its shape, and willing to sacrifice some money, you can try what people in esreality are doing, they use deathadder's interlnal and put in into kinzu, thus forming kinzuadder, so you keep kinzu's shape and play with deathadder's sensor :D. try googling kinzuadder.

oh god, reading that made me feel ill.
"which is preferred by some of the top gamers in the world."
"We do realize that some gamers swear against mouse acceleration and refuse to subscribe to the preferences of some of the next generation’s top gamers."
As-if they think mouse acceleration is part of the next generation of top gamers. gtfo SS.
should have bought the Xai.
Maybe a fix someone posted...
"Install drivers, configure your mouse as you like. Uninstall drivers and you're mouse acceleration free"

I have this mouse myself and im really liking it, there is a little button on the top that toggles 2 settings of mouse sensitivity. Also that page you linked talks about hardware based acceleration and not software based. Software based is what I understand the (bad thing). Also there is a driver for this mouse on Steelseries website where you can adjust all kinds of stuff, might want to check that out. Hope that helps you :p

deal with it, you'll get used to it? It's just acceleration, not the end of the world..
User was warned for this post

I got this mouse, used it for a week and then bought the Abyssus.
Poor Kinzu is gathering dust now. Waste of my money :/
Although it is much better built than the plasticky Abyssus, there is something quite not right with the acceleration that I just couldnt get used to. Shame.

@marcus didnt help =/
okay i just tested something,
i turned mouse acceleration on, and it has inverse acceleration, what the hell? like i move my mouse fast and it goes slow, and i move it slow and it goes fast. wtf seriously i dont understand

i dont know youre experience with mouse acceleration, but it is a terrible thing, and is the end of the world. its like telling someone to get used to playing sc2 on a laptop touchpad
|
I used to use a Kinzu but the combination of hardware acceleration and pixel skipping @ 1600dpi was too much.
|
throw it away......
I'm dead serious mouse acceleration is the plague when it comings to gaming mouses
get rid of it
|
Upgrade the firmware and software.
I looked up everything I could download the moment my kinzu arrived, haven't had any problems with it at all (except for dog hairs getting around the sensor and causing the mouse to skip, but that's not the mouse's problem).
|
I got my Kinzu about 3 weeks ago and I've honestly never noticed any acceleration.
I play on 1600 DPI with 51% on SC2, and I play around 4 hours a day.

often times people dont notice it until you play with a gaming mouse that doesnt have acceleration. have you tried one? its really not THAT big a deal from what ive tested but i do notice it at first.

I bought this mouse about 6 months ago and I play on a macbook.
I had to install controller mate to get rid of the acceleration. Then I use the highest dpi setting w/ 51% in sc2. Seems to be working pretty good for most part.
I also get little cat hairs on my mouse pad and it skips sometimes, but oh well.

That's a fair point, my previous mouse was just a regular crappy laptop mouse.

whats controller mate?
im doing tests on my mouse pad with fast and slow swipes (one side of screen to the other) and it seems to have positive or negative accelartion depending on the DPI settings.....
on 3200DPI my slow swipe takes up more mousepad than my fast swipe
on 800DPI my slow swipe takes up less mousepad than my fast swipe.
Ive been researching this for about 2 hours now, and there are a lot of suggested fixes on various forums, and it seems it works for some and doesnt for others.
But to me even just moving the mouse it simply doesnt feel right.
Also it has a double click issue, it will double click instead of single click most of the time. so GL selecting indivdual workers in sc2.
i think im going to get a different mouse.

I didn't like it at first, but I dealt with it and now I'm fine with the acceleration
PS. I play fps-games on a fairly high level so the precision should supposedly be important ..

Legend sounds like your mouse might be faulty, my kinzu started double clicking instead of single click towards the end of its life, perhaps return it.
|
what operating system do you use? a friend managed to fix it in w7 with the following registry edit:
http://pastebin.com/f71cf572a paste that into a notepad then change the extension to .reg . then reboot, see if that helps. it's a pretty harmless reg edit, but make a restore point anyway, no reason not to.
EDIT: I also have the edits for xp/vista saved somewhere if you're running one of those.
To be clear, the steelseries website does make it fairly clear that the acceleration is built into the sensor, so no amount of software editing will fix it entirely. The edit allowed gaming with it to be easier for my friend however, so worth a try.

@avokodo its a new mouse,
@sachem tried that TT i spent an hour or two searching and reading other threads, was hoping to find someone who had had same issues and fixed it, cos all the other "fixes" didnt work. oh well TT new new mouse time, and i am NOT buying a SteelSeries
