Continuing our current trend of gaming mice reviews today we have the Steelseries Kinzu. It's a lightweight, small, ambidextrous mouse with a high sensitivity rating. This isn't the first one we've reviewed for this company, but it is the first budget...
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...

Today we are going to look at the Kinzu optical gaming mouse which is a budget model with some interesting features that we often see on higher-end gaming mice.
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...

£21. (At time reviewed)These days your typical gaming mouse would have up to 8 buttons, have a weight system and enable you to customize the colours in just a few clicks. Such a sophisticated device can only mean one thing, gaming mice have certainly...
SteelSeries have turned back time by presenting us with a gaming mouse that endorses a simple design, by doing this you would think the performance of the mouse would be affected, but it hasn't. The visual design is simple, but the technology is sophi...

Gaming-grade peripherals often value performance over price and deck out every piece of equipment with bright paint jobs, glowing LEDS, and unusual finishes. Plenty of mice, like the Mad Catz Cyborg M.M.O. 7 Gaming Mouse ($159 street, 3.5 stars), have an...

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...

With a MSRP under $35 Steel Series took a different approach to the Kinzu than with their other mice. At a price that is in direct competition to Microsoft’s X3 and Razer’s Salmosa the Kinzu could be a great entry level gaming mouse. But after you tak...
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...
