What you see above are by no means their first foray into the mouse market but instead an addition. The pictured devices are the Xai and Kinzu Steelseries. The Xai being the higher-end offering at $80 with a 10.8MP per second sensor reportedly up to 5,0001 CPI. The feature that really sets it apart from the Kinzu, however, is that it features an LCD display for on-the-go configuration. The Kinzu, on the other hand, clocks in at $34.99, features no LCD display and a slightly smaller design.

Expect both the Xai and Kinzu mouses from SteelSeries at some point next month.
