Abstract: Today I will be reviewing the Kinzu optical mouse. I have also reviewed the Qck+ Gaming surface from Steelseries in conjunction with this review. (you can find the Qck+ review here)SteelSeries KinzuFirst thoughtsWhen I first opened up the box that the Kin...
The Kinzu is nothing remarkable as far as gaming mice goes but it does what it's supposed to. It may not catch your eye, but it's sensitivite and it's certainly very accurate. It's software is nice and simple, but it's a very dull looking peripheral, ...

Lack of customisable buttons can prove very frustrating, Takes a little too long to be recognised, Grip takes a little getting used to
The SteelSeries Kinzu is, in its area, an excellent mouse. Any misgivings about it being optical can be ignored as it performs extremely well at various report rates, proving to be tactile and responsive.There are areas where it is lacking, such as usa...
Overall the SteelSeries Kinzu is a good gaming mouse. It is very well designed, sharing a number of features with the high-end Xai gaming mouse. It shares a similar level of build quality with the Xai mouse which is quite fantastic for such a reason...

Very low price for a gaming mouse of this quality, Configurator very simple to use, Onthefly profile toggle placed well, Surface coating offers excellent grip and comfort, Ambidextrous, Configurations stored on mouse,
Limited functionality for a gaming mouse, Looks a little plain
If there exists a mouse that does everything, but only mediocre at each, then its direct opposite would be the SteelSeries Kinzu. The Kinzu only does so much being a basic gaming mouse, but it performs very well in everything it does do. The foundatio...
Almost no adjust-ability in the software and no extra buttons make me wonder how Steel Series is marketing the Kinzu to the gaming crowd. Anyone who wasn’t looking for those features would most likely be looking at standard mice from both Logitech and ...
Performance, Value for money, Great looking, Low weight, Ability to hold three profiles, Ergonomic design, Short travel buttons
No side buttons, No profile indicator
This mouse should definitely be on your short list if you are a FPS gamer looking for a budget mouse. Since this mouse has a wealthy resolution of up to 3200 DPI and excellent scaling downwards, it can both be the high and low sensitivity gamer's weap...
Very lightweight and durable. Extremely accurate and smooth as well,
Only two full buttons on the mouse, and it’s on the small side in size.
Steelseries has developed a very solid entry-level gaming mouse for those of us who do not have truck loads of disposable income. The Kinzu Optical Gaming Mouse is a very lightweight and durable mouse with incredible accuracy and smoothness for a much...
