Xai and Kinzu gaming mouses from SteelSeries

July 24th, 2009 Posted in Hardware, PC by Jeff Baker


Back in my day, SteelSeries was known primarily for making high-quality gaming mousepads. Well, the times have evidentally changed as SteelSeries has expanded to other markets namely, the gaming mouse market.

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.

December 15th, 2008 Posted in MMO, Software by Chris


If you happen to play World of Warcraft on a Mac and you’d also like to get one of those SteelSeries MMO gaming mice then you will need to wait to actually use it. You can either switch to Windows or wait for Mac drivers to arrive.

Yes, that’s right, the SteelSeries new mouse doesn’t have Mac drivers which means you won’t be able to customize all the 15 buttons it has to offer. Mac drivers are said to be on the way but who knows how long that way actually is. In the mean time Mac users will have to level up without being able to map their favorite spells on that new gaming mouse.

SteelSeries 7G
SteelSeries has introduced 7G Professional Gaming Keyboard as a followup to its highly regarded 6G keyboard. SteelSeries is a leading manufacturer specializing in gaming gear and had recently announced the Ikari mouse and Siberia Neckband headset.

The 7G keyboard allows users to create advanced key combinations and utilizes a powerful PS/2 buffer to support as many simultaneous key press commands as there are keys on the keyboard, with a switch lifetime of up to 50 million operations. Combining this with the 18k gold-plated mechanical switches, you get an ultra-durable gaming keyboard with more actions-per-minute than any other keyboard available, perfect for long gaming sessions.

Other interesting features are two USB ports and audio ports for your headset and microphone.

The 7G keyboard is available now at $149.99
