the response cant really felt by normal human. unless you use special program to test it.
the price is because of the mechanical switch. each switch individual for each key, compared to normal membrane one big piece of electronic membrane for whole keyboard. and mechanical switches can last you a hell lot presses compared to normal membrane. which explains the price. long-lasting, compare to normal membrane that gets you changing after 2 years which become stiff. mechanical dont become stiff.

but it's quite overpriced actually i feel, the 7G. 6Gv2 is much affordable or even the blackwidow by razer.

partially? i thought it's full plastic?

laser or optical means nothing, after you've tried both. any mouse is suitable for any game. it all depends on the DPI you need, buttons, on-the-fly DPI changing, and that's about it.(from technical point of view). more reason to consider would be right/left handed, ambidextrous, palm grip finger grip etc. but never laser/optical as a comparison. marketers and mouse companies say all sorts of gimmicks and mislead the whole gaming community. what optical for FPS laser for this that, all bullshit.

isn't the bolded statement referring to the DPI?
yes i know there are differences in pixel hunting, but still, it boils down to the DPI and the window sensitivity, no?
very high DPI, lower than average(middle) window sensitivity, then you get very tiny precise movement.
unless with same window sensitivity and same DPI, laser mouse can provide even more tiny and exact pixel hunting compared to another optical mouse(which won't be happening), DPI is still the factor to be considered. look out of the box.

maybe we can say that laser sensors provide much higher DPI, thus more precision and accuracy as you mentioned.

hmm i'm not a graphic user so i cant really compare between the two, but i guess since with same dpi and window sensitivity, laser would follow our hand more accurately, then i guess there's a difference then xD

i dont understand, is it a major misconception or? i have a Kinzu retail version from Moderno 9 months ago. my USB is not gold plated. have never seen a gold plated USB on any Steelseries product.

ya. QcK, razer goliathus speed, or the good ol' everglide titan if you still can get yourself one.

i remember many pages back there was a rumour/picture etc of white Kinzu coming out, but no info on steelseries.com. is it a rumour is a real product coming out?

O.O i thought is white kinzu?
definitely not ikari for me cause too big xD
if white kinzu then will get one for myself. white kinzu~

hmm. then let's just wait and see.

ya i thought it's the same also. feet skate glide any term


you sure? some references?
as far as i know it's the same. and it depends on how you stick your feet/glide/skate on your mouse or on ANOTHER feet/glide/skate(which makes it 2 layer).
some people feel the stock feet on example, IMO 1.1 or Kinzu is not smooth, too thin, then buy another same shape one stick on the stock feet. if don't want make the mouse taller, then take out stock feet only put in new feet, maybe that is where some people get confused.

it's the same, both refers to the same thing no?
just depends on the way you put on. either put on the original feet or remove original feet and put in.


c this: feet/glide/skate for IMO 1.1 and 3.0. it's 0.8mm thick so obviously it's meant to replace the original feet and not ON it. it's written as skates. the 0.3mm version(meant to put on original one) also written skates.

so i think the term doesnt matter. it still refers to the same thing, just the way to apply is up to personal preference.

but different company uses different terms i guess?
like the hyperglide picture i posted, it's 0.8mm which meant to work as feet(as you mentioned), but all feet/skates/etc by hyperglide is known as skates and not feet.

maybe buyers should take note of the thickness, and not the term used, since it's the same thing

EDIT: and yes i have the 0.18mm feet/skate no matter how you call it.

and HyperGlide is saying things oppositely on their package and their website.
okok no flamewar intended.
just wanna clarify cause what i know is from the HyperGlide package and not from their website.

BTW: kthxbai sounded so rude

should be all kinzu. mine retail version oso faded. can scrap out the white white paint then slowly it comes off from normal use. now like no logo d

when white kinzu will be reaching?
last time i heard is end of december.

oh okok, thanks
i always refer to the wrong seller

perfectly legal and limited item. unless you're a collector, it's freaking expensive for a mouse that spec. it's just glossy paint compare to normal IME and different mouse feet.

my retail kinzu started giving some once in a while double click(single click) problem. anyone having the same problem?

happens to all kinzu?
my first SS mouse
and i thought razer mouse build quality is worse..
all the razers that i had never that double click problem
