Kinzu vs Xai? (or other suggestions?)

Hey guys.

So I’m needing to get a new mouse (my Deathadder has that broken internal wire issue) and I’d also like to get a new keyboard. Since I’m going to be at i43 in 2 weeks and KustomPC always have a good showing there, I was just going to buy them first thing at LAN.

I’ve got the keyboard down to either a Filco Majestone or a DAS, but I’m not so sure about the mouse. I half considered buying a deathadder since i’m quite happy with it (aside from the fact it’s fucked), but I decided against it. From what I can see looking around, the only mouse that’s taken my fancy is the Xai and Kinzu, however I can’t really tell what the difference between the 2 actually is? At least enough to justify such a massive price difference.

Although if anyone has any other suggestions (not “I have this and I think it’s good” type comments) I’d be happy to listen to it.

If it helps at all, I play with ~30cm/360 plus fairly low sens in SC2.

P.O.P

what’s your reason against buying a 2nd DA?

G400 or Imperator 4g?

wait till september and get the sensei :)

everything on the kinzu is kinda fixed compared to xai and sensei.

Kinzu: Huge angel snapping, negative and possitive accel is VERY noticeable, the skates are of plastic?

and with xai and sensei you can customize everything, and have a good sensor(when you dont have hairs and dust etc in the sensor)

I will buy the sensei for sure when it comes out.

iv had mine for a year no issues. DOnt buy the kinzu whatever you do, its pretty bad. Xai is good, but the perfect control speed isnt as good as the DA if your quite a low sens gamer

Agree on this. Kinzu is reaaaaaaaaaaalllly bad. I prefer smaller mice, but the acceleration is all over the place and very noticable. Don’t notice it on the xai.

I can reach DA malfunction speed while flicking to rj at low sense, can’t do it with the xai.

I heard the xai really fucks up badly when using some cloth pads, i don’t have the money to by a new pad+mouse so does the xai work with a goliathus control ? Any one that has this combo please let me know how/if it works.
