i was thinking of getting a ss mouse for my office. i prefer large mouse. somehow when i use my office's logitech mouse, my palms get tired because i need to grip the mouse.

btw, i was thinking ikari but i cannot make up my mind whether to go with laser or optical

anyone here tried ss xai?

what is good about this mouse that its price tag is able to reach over RM300? from what i see, it doesnt have weight adjustable, it doesnt have blings, and its side button on right side, its rather hard to press.

so, anyone here tried it before? feel like getting one for my office brows.gif

I thought the side button got 2 for left and right sides ? so 2x2 = 4 side buttons o_O

hi bro...if u like weight adjustable,bling bling, then this is not the mouse u looking for...for the side button, both side aso have..not oni right side,ok?
and this is a almost driver-less mouse...mean u no nid driver to adjust all those cpi(dpi),accelerate,exact sense and lot more..but,of coz, at 1st, u nid to dl the driver from ss website and update the firmware 1st...then mayb edit some profile and afterward u no nid the driver anymore...

and this mouse are talking about performance and comfortable(well,not as comfortable as ikari),not outlook  doh.gif  doh.gif ...

firstly, i come here friendly and i dont want to start anything. i guess its either i have said it wrong or you guys misunderstand me. yes, i know both sides have button. 2 on each side. but from my experience, the right side (button 6 & 7) button is rather hard to press.

imo, the left side button is always click by using the thumb. index for left button and middle for right button. for the ring and little finger, its usually at rest. also, do you guys think its quite hard to press the 2 right button? for me, i think because the face of the little finger is facing downward. thus, making it a lil hard to press it. unless you use the side of your little finger. but for me, it wont be as accurate as using your thumb on the left button.

and for what i meant is on my previous post, wasnt about xai being over price or anything like that. i was wondering how good or what is its advantages of using it. and yes, i read a few review and it specifically said its very comfortable and there is alot of work done on the technology of the sensor. hence, its very accurate and precise. but as usual i would wanna listen from xai user here in lyn. to cut it short, i was merely comparing the advantages/performance of xai with other mouse that produce by logitech, razer, roccat, and so on.

but anyhow, thanks for the reply smile.gif

i aso friendly one...tongue.gif
just telling u that if u wan bling bling and weight adjustable then this mouse reli not suite u mar...

1. the 2 right button u can ignore it if u feel u cant press it...it actually for left hand user...
2. yup, the mouse is comfortable to me...accurate wise,u better ask everdying,i dare not say anything because i dint really test it yet...
*
i dont really mind if there is bling or not. as long as its comfortable to use. i use the mouse the whole day in the office so i really need a comfortable mouse.

hmmm.... if i ignore the 2 right button then why do i need to get xai? come to think about it, i might as well get kinzu since both xai and kinzu looks similar in shape and i dont really need that much button laugh.gif. maybe this week end go lyp to test it out if there is for display brows.gif

If u right handed y dun try ikari laser it very comfortable for sure and u just only wan to use for office stuff right so better go with it.

yes, previously i was considering ikari laser. but when i saw xai, i kinda got poisoned laugh.gif

lots of review shows that its extremely comfortable and the important part is the accuracy of the mouse has been significantly improve. but nevertheless, i think i'll go to lyp to look for shows that has them in display so i could test it out brows.gif

if ur hand can coupe with the small kinzu...u can go for it..

iinm, kinzu doesnt have any side button. but i thought kinzu and xai is almost similar in size? hmm... then i think i wont get kinzu. i prefer a large mouse smile.gif

Hi, Xai user here, FYI kinzu is smaller than Xai when u hold it, Xai on the other hand feels more like an ergonomic mouse and can be consider a low profile large mouse
the right side button has higher rate to be pressed accidentally than left (i actually nvr ter-press left side button before thou)  tongue.gif

overall Xai built quality in terms or plastic texture/button clicks is far more better feeling than razer rubber coatin(lachesis). feels smooth on the surface down to the button.
but i think its overpriced at 300+ if it is rm200+ then its defintely a must buy.  cool2.gif

kinda agree with you though. but for me, price at RM300++ is not really a factor if the mouse is really good. just that when i think i wont be using the 2 right button, then it will be such a waste.

anyhow, after considering, i think i'll go with ikari laser tongue.gif laugh.gif its huge and i like it smile.gif

i just came back from lyp just now, i really like the feel of ikari laser. imo, it kinda feels better than xai. i really like the curve of the ikari laser on the right. it kinda makes your ring finger rest on it. might get it soon brows.gif

thanks everyone for the feedback icon_rolleyes.gif

recently got a Ikari Laser. can i adjust the speed of scrolling using the driver? it seems that the driver doesnt have much option to tweak with.

but its definitely a very comfortable mouse smile.gif

Your using the ikari laser? it is a comfortable mouse indeed. why dont you try using the new Steelseries Xai. It is a laser based mouse and has a built in driver that can be adjusted to your preference. Ive been using a Steelseries Xai and never regretted buying it smile.gif

yes, i believe xai would be a very comfortable mouse but then there is something i dont like about it.

1. its a lil pricey for a mouse that doesnt have much feature on it. for RM300++ i have quite a few to choose from
2. the right side button. if i were to own a xai, i will only use the thumb buttons and the right side button will be a waste because its really difficult to click. so it will be a lil waste to buy such a expensive mouse but i dont use all of its feature.

other than that, i do believe xai is a very comfortable mouse.

btw, what i was asking is about adjusting the scrolling speed. i notice there isnt a option on the driver to let me do that. so, it cannot be adjustable?
