SteelSeries Kinzu Gaming Mouse

SteelSeries have a established themselves a fine reputation as a solid producer of quality PC gaming peripherals, so as I review this mouse I have high hopes for a product which does exactly as it says it will at a high level. The Steelseries Kinzu...

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.

Great gaming mouse"

What the SteelSeries Kinzu may lack in bells and whistles, it more than makesup for in performance and bargain price. 3 customizable profiles, high DPI andsleek design make this a great starter-level, SteelSeries mouse.
